QL finally leaps back onto DVD! *Updated*
Posted by David Lambert

With the original DVD release of Quantum Leap - The Pilot Episode being long out-of-print, fans of the show have longed for Universal Home Entertainment to bring the beloved series back to DVD in season sets.
We knew something was in-the-works last November, when reports surfaced that Deborah Pratt - who was heavily involved in the show - had mentioned in an interview that she was called in to do some work on the new home video version.
Now the waiting is over, and the countdown to the street date begins. This morning, Universal Home Video announced that Quantum Leap - Season 1 will make the leap home on June 8th. The nine hours of programming that made up the rookie season - including the pilot episode "Genesis" from the out-of-print item - will arrive on 2 dual-sided DVDs, at a $59.98 SRP.
Right now details are thin, with no details on the specs, no extras mentioned so far (though we're sure there will be some, since Ms. Pratt participated on the release), and no cover art to show you yet. Still, it's great to know that Sam, Al, and Ziggy will be coming back home this summer, in one of the most-requested releases here at the site (in the top 10!). Stay tuned, and we'll be back just as soon as Universal circulates the remaining information about this box set.
UPDATE (1/18):
Universal has now given us a tiny preview of the cover art. And we do mean tiny...it doesn't get any bigger than this, at least not yet. We'll be back later with something bigger, but for now, check it out:
-----------------------------------------------
I don't know if there are any fans here. But I loved this show. One of my favorites when it was on, and still love it in syndication. I think this is a great idea, and it is about time. Double sided disc I'm a little...ehh about. But I'm just happy to have the damn thing coming out. Hope the extras are good. :y: Can't wait.
