Quantum Leap! Yeah!
"Theorizing that one could time-travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Becket stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator... and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Becket finds himself Leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next Leap would be the Leap home."
SAMUEL BECKET
Our hero! (played by Scott Bakula) Sam was born and raised on a dairy farm in Elk Ridge, Indiana, with his father, John, his mother, Thelma, his older brother, Tom, and his younger sister, Kate. He had two cats, Donder and Blitzen. He could read at the age of two, do calculus in his head at five, and beat the computer at chess at ten. He graduated highschool at fifteen, went to MIT, and graduated at seventeen. He then met Al at the Starbright Project, and he and Al went on to design Project Quantum Leap. Sam hold six doctorates including quantum physics, medicine, and ancient languages. He's always wanted a family, and almost had one had not Donna Eleese stood him up at the altar. In addition to quantum physics, Sam also has a love for music, beer, and microwave popcorn.
ALBERT M. CALAVICCI
Our hologram! (played by Dean Stockwell) Al was born into a family of a mother, father, and retarded sister, Trudy. His mother ran off with an insurance salesman, and his father tried to keep the family together, but he ended up dying and Al was sent to an orphanage while Trudy was sent to an institution. While in the orphanage, Al ran away many times. His escapades sent him acting, joining a circus, and playing pool, but none of them lasted forever. When he could get out, Al went to find Trudy, but she had died at sixteen from pneumonia (so they said). Al then met Beth, a charming woman, and married her after joining the Navy. He went off to fight in Vietnam and for awhile was listed as MIA. Beth presumed him dead and remarried. When he got back, he ended up meeting four other girls, marrying them all, and divorcing them all. None of them could be as special as Beth. After being repatriated from the Navy, Al joined the Starbright Project and met Sam while drunk. In his spare time, he smokes a lot of cigars, dates a blonde named Tina, and fantasizes about pretty blondes with low IQ's.
