If what I read online was correct, the intention was for there to be more seasons of Quantum Leap based on Sam not coming home. Still - the Quantum Leap reboot of 2022 is now an active thing, and may bring some longtime fans some closure depending on how the story plays out.
It's actually this episode wich made me listen to Elvis's music. Then i learned about jerry lee lewis, Chuck berry, little Richard, the beatles, the stones and all the greats. I was 9 years old and i replayed this episode back then almost every day on my VCR. Without quantum leap, i'd maybe never had started learning guitar, then years later piano. It always makes emotionnal to rewatch that scene. First time i saw it, chills passed through my body. I immediately felt that this style of music was meant for me even tho I was just a kid in the mid-90s. Goosebumps to this day
I loveeee Quantum Leap. You notice between 1:10 and 1:11 the girls are all grooving to the music and then there's a big jump cut where Sam climbs up and Al zaps onto the counter, you see the girls had stopped moving, then immediately start up again. Cute.
The new quantum leap will never come close to anything this good. Sam had more charm and charisma going for him, which made every leap a grand adventure. Funny enough, to think he probably wouldn't have turned out so care free, if he had remembered he had a wife waiting for him through out his journey through his leaps.
And the new series got parts of it wrong. Ben didn’t switch places with the person he leaped into. The person he leaped into just “lost time.” Also Ziggy spoke in the original, whereas no speaking in the new.
This is a hard war against insects. God bless everyone who still has a soul. To the reprints, to the dead in this time war, our charge against the great filter… the steady state analysis of our souls… I love you and I am so sorry. A scar on my soul. ✨💖✨🐚👙
Can't blame Sam and his swiss-cheese brain for not piecing together that he was merely assisting with the appropriation of the black race by helping Elvis succeed. Plus maybe this was something that had to happen to ensure the overall history of things stayed positive 😂
@@brittneyking4284 I'm mostly kidding. I loved Elvis growing up. After seeing the movie, I firmly believe he grew up as a black kid and was just doing what every black artist at that time did. We always adapted each other's work, and it was a respect thing. RESPECT, for instance, was an Otis Redding song and not Aretha's. All our negro spirituals were borrowed. Elvis grew up black, and I think that is all the difference in the world.
rock'n roll and rockabilly music were most of the time with 3 chords and build up with pretty much the same structure. But you're absolutely right, sam was very lucky to find musicians at the right time around him, knowing exactly when to start and to stop their solo, with a song they never heard before 😂
As a lifelong musical artist, it's not as outlandish as it seems when you surround yourself with enlightened artists. One of the many great joys of being a musician is when magic moments like this happen. Others should be so fortunate as to encounter them in their life and times.
LOL Al gagging over Tony Orlando & Dawn singing Jailhouse Rock; that would be like the Stones singing Tie a Yellow Ribbon... Nonetheless, Scott Bakula does kills it as Elvis.
I am a massive Elvis fan and they got this totally wrong…..but who cares?! I loved Quantum Leap, what made it so great is the mixture of storylines. One week it could be quite a harrowing or sad story, the next an upbeat or comical one.
2 things I predicted while watching this series on DVD and got right: *1)* The leap at the end of the penultimate episode would find Sam Beckett in a quiet place, where he would see himself in a mirror. *2)* They would do a nostalgic swan song reprise of the original "Quantum Leap" theme for the end.
Yeah, I just finished watching "Mirror Image" last night. Apart from Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy (2002 DVD), I think Quantum Leap has to be one of the most inventive time-travel sagas ever made. Will gladly go through all of Quantum Leap again in the near future!
Christopher Russell Quantum Leap was on in my teens and we used to go to school the day after the leap and talk about the episode and what he became at the end of each episode, was an amazing time
No disrespect to Scott Bakula and his amazing singing/dancing, guitar skills, but when I saw this episode back in 1993 I knew the series was about to be cancelled. The show had only done 1 famous person or event leap before, and that was Lee Harvey Oswald which was legit good. This episode and the Marilyn Monroe episode made the series look like it was veering away from the smaller stories about regular people to wanting to be a more traditional, in your face time travel show meeting historical people and doing historical events type show. I liked how Quantum Leap was so original and bucked the trend, doing unexpected things with regular, ordinary, non-famous people. And sure enough, the show was gone a little later when series creator Donald P. Bellisario said he would rather end it then do a traditional time travel show.
I cant wait to see Scott sing on stage live in Feb 2024 at the MCC theater in New York . I'm so excited and cant wait until Feb 2024. I have heard him sing at Ford Theater on a post several months ago and he still sounds so good in my opinion 🥰
This show is the best I never knew this this episode was a thing I like Elvis he’s one of my favorite singers and I love this show 2 of my favorite things in one
Einstein noticed his maths didn't say it couldn't be possible, though from his point of view it was since the energy required and the way you'd have to be able to manipulate the very fabric of space/time seemed beyond any of us. It may still be for a long, long time to come. We can't even come close to an idea of how we might do it, despite all the sci-fi enthusiasm. But never say never :)
🥺 una serie meravigliosa, che non ha nulla a che vedere con la spazzatura che propinano al giorno d'oggi e che in italia non hanno mai replicato...😢 quando non si capisce di arte succede così
I would rather watch this better than any of today’s shows. The talent is beyond incredible. I can’t believe it came to such an abrupt and sad ending.

That was incredible. Love Scott Bakula, Dean Stockwell and the original Quantum Leap

Rest in peace dean Stockwell
He leaped
I love him singing in this episode and when he sang great balls of fire

A great episode before last episode from this great tv series about time travel.
Great singing from the best tv show ever!!!
Brilliant Scott bakula
Great singing from Scott Bakula
White man with a black voice...that's gold Jerry! Gold!
Man that brought back some 90s cable tv , Austar memories 😂😂, thanks mate
Rip Dean Stockwell 😞
i remember this one quantum leap season five episode 21 memphis melody july 3 1954 he leaps into elvis in this one right.
it's was on NBC at 8pm today in Megan Ward's world of 1993.
Listen. Trust me on this one. You have to go from watching this classic quantum leap scene to the Chris Chan documentary.
That is the new episode of Quantum Leap. and it was on at 8pm today.
The new quantum leap will never come close to anything this good.
Sam had more charm and charisma going for him, which made every leap a grand adventure.

Sax player never moves his fingers
Now *that* takes talent.
Now I can't help but see it.
Quantum Leap - S05E21 - Memphis Melody 😜
NBC made a goddamn mistake in shitcanning this show.
❤ just like the new series. No ultimate ending or resolution! I've been pissed since 1994
I liked 👍 it ,but you just
Can't beat "Glitter Rocks" ROCK THE REDHEAD!
I know this question doesn’t have anything to do with this video but when Al teleports is it gushi doing it or can Al use ziggy to do it?
He always called for ziggy
@@eyes2c..519 most of the time but not always though watch the scene in this scene he teleported by pressing some buttons on his handlink/comm device.
1:32 " A WHITE MAN WITH A BLACK VOICE ! "
I liked Tony Orlando and Dawn.
That's the first i phone 📱😜 and zigi has Google
For some reason the woman in blue reminds me of school cross country?
Hope it will be on netlfix
It was then got pulled after a few years
It's on Roku

Jon Sanders…..I’m black and was literally born decades after Elvis death. It doesn’t matter what anybody believes, he’s still a legend and icon. 🤷🏽♀️

He freaking killed it. I miss this show
uh yeah, um, It's was on at 8pm on NBC today and it's the 27th anniversary of that episode in 1993.
One of the best shows ever made
can always buy this series at walmart for $25
Scott Bakula is absurdly talented - Quantum Leap gave him an outlet for all that to come out.
Well don't worry, 'cause it's BACK!
‘I just kinda made it up’ and a guitarist, sax player, stand up bass,and harmonica player just happened to be there and know what to play.
rock'n roll and rockabilly music were most of the time with 3 chords and build up with pretty much the same structure. But you're absolutely right, sam was very lucky to find musicians at the right time around him, knowing exactly when to start and to stop their solo, with a song they never heard before 😂
"All right, guys, uh, listen. This is a blues riff in 'B', watch me for the changes, and try and keep up, okay"
Oops sorry wrong time traveller 😀
@@jcharpak Hahaha!
lol exactly what I was thinking. I'm like wow they just had all those instruments ready to go.
As a lifelong musical artist, it's not as outlandish as it seems when you surround yourself with enlightened artists. One of the many great joys of being a musician is when magic moments like this happen. Others should be so fortunate as to encounter them in their life and times.
Ok I can forgive the Monkees but Tony Orlando?I had the same reaction.😲
scott bakula nailed it x
Of course! He always does.
@@emilym8863 nice
LOL Al gagging over Tony Orlando & Dawn singing Jailhouse Rock; that would be like the Stones singing Tie a Yellow Ribbon... Nonetheless, Scott Bakula does kills it as Elvis.
It’s amazing that he didn’t hit anyone with that guitar while swinging it
Or knock anything over.
This man is a Genius, deserve a Tony, Oscar, and all the awards. A complete actor.
Agreed he is also very nice in person a real gentleman
I am a massive Elvis fan and they got this totally wrong…..but who cares?! I loved Quantum Leap, what made it so great is the mixture of storylines. One week it could be quite a harrowing or sad story, the next an upbeat or comical one.
How did they get it wrong?
Rip Dean Stockwell. Scott killed it!!
My favorite good guy duo ever!!

I grew up watching this show and miss it still.
2:05... devil in a blue dress. :)
" Gag me with a spoon!" 😂😂😂😂
A Valley Girl of the 50's

Born in 82 I grew up watching ths man we literally had the best of life tbh
0:07 I'm with Sam on that one. What?!

I love Elvis Presley

Excellent

I have never seen this episode.
I believe time travel might be possible one day

Yeah! in your dreams love
@@michaelheath2866 he hated quantum mechanics. It destroyed his math.
@@aintnosoul5671 future time travel is absolutely possible. It's backwards time travel that's hard.
Wow some serious shade thrown at Tony Orlando and Dawn
i told somebody that scott really sang all the music but the person didnt believe me.....please tell me i am right
@D cool
“A white man with a black mans voice”
Let’s evolve and realize we’re stronger together
