Not sure about the new Night Court, but I am being cautiously optimistic about the new Quantum Leap.... Really hope Scott Bakula makes an appearance.... Ernie Hudson from the Ghostbusters will be in the cast, tho...

One of my favorite scenes from the original series of QL... Sam leaps into himself as a teenager just before his brother ships off for Vietnam (and is killed) and he tries to convince his little sister that he knows the future by singing a song that hasn't been written yet...

 

 

I haven't bothered getting into any new NBC shows lately.....seems like any time I get into one and start watching it, they cancel it.

Quantum leap was dope as hell when I was younger. Literally no need to reboot Night Court though. That's gonna be a train wreck.

I'd say roughly 86.5% go poorly because the nostalgia factor kicks in and people say "this isn't what I remember grabblegrabblegrabble."

Used to write a lot of QL fan fiction years ago for a fan site called Al's Place.  All the authors' stories picked up where the original final televised episode ended  One of my stories was Sam leaping into a fictional non-roster player trying out for the Marlins during 2002 Spring Training.

Did Sam make the team?

In a way

Here's a clip: March 20th, 2002

 

Jeff Torborg, the Marlins’ manager walked into the dugout just as the physician completed his exam.  “What’s the verdict, doc?” he asked.

     “Well, he’s experiencing quite a bit of discomfort in his arm.  There’s no way I can clear him to pitch today.  I’m very sorry, Mark.”

     “No,” cried Sam, “I have to pitch today.  It means a lot if I can do it.”

     “Someone will need to tell the umpires about the change in pitchers.” said Torborg.  A coach ran onto the field to pass along the change.

     “No, Sam,” Al said slowly.  “You’re not supposed to pitch today.”

     “What?!”

     “Mark, from what I could tell,” stated the physician thinking Sam was talking to him, “I highly doubt you’ll be able to pitch again.  I am truly sorry.”

     Torborg turned to the young man standing with Pete.  “Are you ready to pitch on short rest?”

     The cocky young pitcher responded by taking the baseball from his manager’s hands.  “Just give me the ball.”  He followed Torborg out of the dugout and onto the field to begin warming up.

     “…Your attention, please…” announced the voice over the loudspeaker.  “…There has been a change in today’s line-up.  Mark Robbins will not be pitching in today’s game.  Now starting for the Florida Marlins…Number 61…Josh Beckett…Game time will begin in forty minutes…”

     Sam did a double take on hearing the name of the brash young pitcher taking the mound in his place.  ‘Beckett?’

     “You were here for him too, Sam.  No relation by the way.” Al chuckled.
