‘Quantum Leap’ 1×05 Review: “Salvation or Bust”

‘Quantum Leap’ 1×02 Review: “Atlantis”

As fun as Quantum Leap is as a concept (and show!), if I’m really honest, I don’t envy Ben – or Sam – a good 98% of the time. Finding yourself in some random person’s life and having to fix…

‘A League of Their Own’ 1×07 Review: “Full Count”
