Anyone else think this was like an awesome modern version of QL? Obviously they only leap once and theres lots of them but same kinda thing sending yourself back to fix the past.

Don't know Quantum Leap but Travelers it's pretty entertaining. Hope they release the second season.

Check out Quantum Leap---it was one of my favorite shows at the tip end of the '80s, and it's basically one of the best sci-fi TV shows from that era. It's shown late Saturday nights on the COZI channel, but it's definitely worth binge-watching wherever you can see it. It starred a then-up-and-coming Scott Bakula (now starring in NCIS:New Orleans) as a scientist who gets bounced around from time through time in different eras, each time in a different person's body, regardless of race or gender. I think it lasted at least 2 or 3 seasons, and was popular to some extent during its memorable run.

You say starred a then up and coming Scott Bakula-I remember him in TV episodes for likes of-Disney's World of Color, My Sister Sam, Gung Ho, Designing Women, CBS Summer Playhouse + TV films-The Last Thing + I-Man...Way before QL
And QL didn't last 2 or 3 seasons but 5 seasons!

My bad---I said "up-and-coming" only because that was the first thing I'd seen him in. Still one of the best shows of the late '80s, and one that I think dosen't get its due often. When classic '80s shows are discussed, the name of Quantun Leap rarely seems to come up, which I don't understand. I love how it dealt with social issues through Sam's travels in time---each episode was like a fun history lesson couched in thriller-suspense mode in some cases. Didn't know it lasted 5 seasons---I remember watching it for the first two seasons,at least.

I don't know how you didn't know he had been on other stuff before QL, I have read many retro stuff and QL has been mentioned!
How did you not know it lasted 5 seasons-Wether you watched it or not........Example I don't watch the TV Supernatural But I know it just had it's 12 season as seen it advertised and read about it + that it also got renewed for a 13th season as seen pictures for it in magazines, online, papers, heard talked about on radio etc

I forgot----I watched it almost for its first full year, then caught up with it sometime on down the line----I didn't watch for the entire time it was on,though. I think I managed to catch it in its last year,though.
