I remember I didn’t like this updated theme the first time I heard it. Now it’s grown on me and I really enjoy it. The original theme will always be my favorite but I like this one too.
Season 5 was at a time where there was old looking programs and really new looking ones. Quantum Leap really evolved into looking very fresh in it's final season. And, I really liked the new theme remix as well as the stories. Catered to the younger fans maybe. Hearing the old theme song during the final episode was tear jerking. You knew this was it.
The Season 5 theme sounds too much like college football halftime marching band music. So so so glad they changed it back for the series finale episode.
The fifth season theme is questionable, but there's no questioning the work that's been done on this restoration. Great work! One question - did you recreate the text overlays or just use the best quality clips you could find for those scenes?
@feenix219 that's because for whatever reason when Quantum Leap aired in syndication thay kept the original theme intact and didn't change it for season 5 and ditto the the generic saga sell voiced by Deborah Pratt. The show would revert back to the original theme arrangement for the series finale of Quantum Leap: Mirror Image Episode!🤔🧐🙄📺
@@SuperMarioBrosIII Thanks for clarifying this. Like @feenix219, I watched most episodes from all five seasons and never remembered hearing the 5th season version of the theme song (which I do not like at all... just my opinion...) but it's good to make sense of this while re-watching the show on DVD.
Yes and speaking of which, Larry Manetti who played Rick on Magnum, P.I. and before that co-starred in Baa Baa Black Sheep appeared in the final season of Quantum Leap when Sam Leaped into a man who is a bigamist
I still have all 5 seasons from 1989-1993 and great song too My fullest respect to Great Late Dean Stockwell played holograms cockamamie, Rear Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci back in November 7,2021 I will always miss u ,buddy
like everyone else in these comments didn't like new theme 😝! from what bakula said in a leap con they sped up theme to save money .this episode with shields the only part I liked was Al saying he was giving Tina her birthday present and that it was a big one 🥰

Old looking to new looking?
This one is a banger, the base lick before the main theme kicks in is epic
1:29 Yep, great groovy bass line !

Why is it questionable?
@@mischiefmakerstudios9900 in my opinion it's not as good as the original and they shouldn't have changed it
This theme is an absolute abomination. I'm convinced it was part of an intentional effort to get the show cancelled.
WOW! I had no idea this theme revamp existed!
Would have been so better on the new series. They missed a trick
Quantum Leap is thankfully available in HD on blu-ray. Going for about 100 these days
I like both of them actually. This theme is an evolution from the original, but the original itself still holds up. So for me it's a tie.
I'm very confused. As a teenager, I watched the final season live when it was on, but i do not remember EVER hearing this theme before.

You blocked it out because of how awful it is.
Looking forward to the reboot
original tv series looks better 😎
@@mikesilva3868 ?
I loved this theme. Better for the show overall
the regular theme from seasons 3, 4 is really great...but I like the season 5 version. A lot. (ducks)
He is the fellow traveler
1:22 Oh boy
JUST LIKE ENTERPRISE
UPN
Like a mix of Magnum PI and Dallas

Still slaps!
I love the season 5 theme.
Amazing how cheap this music sounds. Could have just kept the original opener like they did with the last episode.
That but when he’s standing in the smoke thing looks so badass
A nice alternate!
Season 5 of QL and the A-Team sound a little similar to me
The DVD Version Of Quantum Leap Season Five Intro Is Out Of Sync
I still hate this version. Uuurgh.
adrians daughter
barb states thats what you bought her
suicides solder
scifi classic 😎
I still have all 5 seasons from 1989-1993 and great song too
My fullest respect to Great Late Dean Stockwell played holograms cockamamie, Rear Admiral Albert "Al" Calavicci back in November 7,2021
I will always miss u ,buddy
Quantum Theme there so g syrup there holographic sight
syrup
This is good and like an amazing Marching band circus. The song made a real quantum leap.
This Season Five Theme Song was nothing more than Muzak.
Too bad they didn't ...leap back to the original song.
They did for the final episode.
No, absolutelly no t. The best intro is the Firth one
Eh. Lame. Should have left it alone. Somethings are classics.
No....just....that new theme is just....no....
The theme should've stayed the same cause Quantum leap jumped the shark in season 5 including the series finale
The series finale was one of my favorite episodes.
The original theme is better
Agreed.
I might be in the minority here but I prefer the season 5 theme to the original.
like everyone else in these comments didn't like new theme 😝! from what bakula said in a leap con they sped up theme to save money .this episode with shields the only part I liked was Al saying he was giving Tina her birthday present and that it was a big one 🥰
I still don't like season 5's theme.
Didn't like it when it was originally released.
Don't like it now.
Love the series tho.
