Quantum Leap Finally Coming to DVD!

QL finally leaps back onto DVD! *Updated*
Posted by David Lambert
2/17/2004


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. Can't wait.

The link to the page has a pic of the cover art.

And shepherds we shall be,
for thee my lord for thee.
Power hath decended forth from thy hand
so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And we shall flow a river forth to thee
and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Quantum Leap...

It's just that this is a lot of money for a set that doesn't even have extras listed yet...

And to think...My firends had heart attacks over 23 episode seasons of Stargate being 60 bucks...

double sided cd's suck, whith such few episodes they should just add an extra cd. if anyone's gonna come out with a box set, at least make if half descent it costs enough as it is. there are bare minimal standards that should be always be met but having said that, i'll probaly get it and it's about time it was made available.
