No Season 3 for the sci-fi drama.
April 5, 2024
It is being reported that NBC has cancelled Quantum Leap after two seasons. The news comes less than two months after the sci-fi drama wrapped its 13-episode sophomore run. The move is not really a surprise, as it was one of the network's lowest-rated scripted series.
A continuation of the 1989 show of the same name, Quantum Leap takes place 30 years after Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team led by physicist Ben Song has been assembled to restart the project to try and understand the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it. But everything changes when Ben makes an unauthorized leap into the past, leaving his team behind to figure out why he did it.

i of course avoided this clap trap, but then suring the last half of season one, i tuned in. Much like many of us who were here the first time around qwho watched sam beckett live a whole fricken bunch.
so i was trepidatitous.
then i had very little on tv and checked into the new guy doing the the leap thang.
caught my interest.
i watched season two.
so lets solve some shiz!
woke! seriously? attractive cross dresser?
hawt guy goes in a dress, and you don't want to mention that time your wife begged you to wear her dress????
as for sci-fi this had promise.
and all you wantabe nostalgic hispters! NO! if sam shows up it should be part of a plot.
you seriously sit there moaning and bemoaning and why oh why oh why cant this be just like this the same but amplified.
just more of this exact same but more.
if you are a tv junkie, tune into sitcoms.
no one can tune into an old show and demand it be the same, just the same, but amped.
use heroin. not heroin laced with fent. use heroin for your nostalgia wake sleep/
this show was good and they did a decent end. open for so much more. closed if you payed attention.
If it doesn't seem like there's a story that needs to be told, why do this? I wish they would stop relying on nostalgia for IPs.
The new one was just broken on so many other levels.
Cancelling this show is like putting down a suffering animal.
Also the weirdos are out in full force in the comments throwing around their new favorite 4 letter word, not realizing everyone is laughing at how goofy they are. Anyone ever notice once they started trying to ban books and started boycotting diversity, they stopped complaining about “cancel culture” and started calling everything “woke” instead? Clown behavior.
It felt like the show was suffering an identity crisis, where they wanted to tell us two stories that were fighting for airtime and resulted in both feeling undercooked.
