Unrelated to Film
So I moved this past weekend. My wonderful girlfriend had the bright idea of loading up the TiVo before we moved, so during the cable gap, we would have access to fine quality programming. However there was a Quantum Leap marathon on in the days before our move. So instead of a diverse line up, I pretty much only had them to watch.
I was struck by two things about this show. 1. Cheesiest theme music ever. Honestly I could compose a better theme song on a touch tone phone. 2. The show holds up much better than most of the shows I liked in my youth. (Unlike say Macgyver.) It has a strong central premise, it's episodic so you can kinda just jump in wherever, but it still has some strong story arc's. You have Sam getting pieces of his own memory back, Al's wife, and internment, and the concept of a higher power guiding the leaping.
Overall good stuff. It's rerunning on the Sci Fi channel at 2 am.
