Syfy in talks to try and revive Quantum Leap as well
We already know about the in-development reboot of Alien Nation at Syfy. What I somehow missed in all the hoopla about that is that Syfy is also in talks with creator Don Bellisario about a possible relaunch of Quantum Leap. Or a sequel or, really, whatever Bellisario would be interested in. Syfy is looking for a great time travel show, and other than Doctor Who, was there ever a better executed one than Quantum Leap?Hell, with Scott Bakula all over our television screens on Chuck and The New Adventures of Old Christine among other appearances, and Dean Stockwell already familiar to SyFy's core fan-base, why not just go ahead and do a continuation of the original series with Sam's daughter in the lead role, or something like that?
You could have Al retired and Sam still lost, or in complete control, in the timestream meaning both could make guest appearances from time to time. Man, Quantum Leap stands as one of the five or ten best television series I've ever seen, and no matter how much time passes, it never seems dated. Sliders next, please ... and do it right this time.
