I'm pretty sure that this show is filmed somewhere in Isreal, which in itself
is pretty darn unusual -- sometimes you can catch street sign in Hebrew. I
even saw an El-Al (?) airplane at the Key Mariah airport, supposedly going
to Miami!

I think "Dangerous Curves" (?) is set in either Houston or Dallas (don't
know where its shot).  And "Silk Stalkings" (yech, where do they get those
names?) is set in Palm Beach or something like that.  (I think it is also
run on USA)

I also messed up but the problem is not you, but NBC: they changed the
broadcast time back to 8:00 P.M., but not before TV Guide was published,
which showed the broadcast time at 10:00 P.M.

TV Guide says its back to 8:00 for this week -- I hope they are right.

I too would also like these episodes.  Send email if you can help me out.

No.  What they are saying is that they are above the law.  I was the
original poster of this thread - typos and all. 

As I've said in a follow-up, the ads are gone.  The ads were run by someone
who had a complete dis-reguard for the legal system.  

Personally, I don't agree with abortion. But!  As a  former broadcaster, I
recognize that this junk I was seeing on TV VIOLATED basic FCC guidelines
and local standards. If I had described what I was seeing on-air, I'd have
gotten in real trouble.

Let's face it.  Quantum Leap has never been a mega-popular hit show.  It's
had a strong, dedicated viewership, but has never been a ratings buster.  It's
the concept.  Many people just don't get it and don't want to take the time
to get it.  However, NBC has been trying like crazy over the past couple of
years to increase its viewership.  Unfortunately, though, the tactics they
have been using have been similar to how they hype every wanna-be project they
have, from genuinely good series to sleazy Monday-night movies of the week.

You can't really fault NBC for their intentions.  You can, however, fault
their means.  Quantum Leap just doesn't fit the hype that they've been using.
And the fact that Bellisario & Co. has had to resort to some of the same
tactics (new theme-music, Evil Leapers, etc.) is just sad.  All of us here
love Quantum Leap for what it always has been:  good, quality television with
meaningful, well-written stories and outstanding acting.  But nothing good
lasts forever, so I for one won't be too terribly upset if Quantum Leap
ceases to exist in first run after this season, unless the whole gang (NBC,
Universal, and Bellisario & Co.) clean up their act and return to their roots.
Sorry, but at this point, that's how I feel.

I think it can be done, though.  There are still so many issues and plot
lines more true to the original intent of the series that haven't even been
approached yet.  I'd like to hear more about Al's early life (not to mention
have him liven up his wardrobe again, it's been positively conservative this
season), find out more about what's happened with Sam's family (maybe find
out what happened to Tom after the war, or see if Sam can keep Katie from
marrying Chuck), etc.  I'd also very much like to see Sam change something
in Al's past for the better ("A Leap for Lisa" doesn't really count in my
book, since it was Lisa's, Chip's, and Marcie's lives that were affected much
more than Al's).

My point is this:  half of this season so far has been excellent ("Leaping of
the Shrew" (just because it was fun), "Nowhere to Run", and "Killin' Time"),
but I've been very dissappointed with the rest of it.  It's been gimicky, and
hasn't been the same Quantum Leap that I've come to know and love.  Maybe if
all they can resort to now is gimicks, then they should call it quits, but if
Bellisario & Co. can recapture the original spirit of the show, and NBC can
leave it alone to do what it does best, than I will happily watch its first
runs for the next five years.

Keep leaping...

I was watching a comedy show called Almost Live on Comedy Central, which is
the comedy cable channel, for those of you that aren't blessed with cable,
when I saw a pretty funny spoof off of Quantum Leap.  It was Quantum Leak.
Where Sam Beckett leaps through out time to fix plumming problems.  "Sam" leaps
in with a pipe wrench in his hand and says, "Oh boy."  Then "Al" appears and
tells him he is a woman in the 60s and has to stop his room mate from taking a
shower so she'll go to Woodstock and meet the guy she will fall in love with.
Then, they will have Macaulay Culkin, star of Home Alone.  If he doesn't stop
her by saying the shower is broken then he will never be born!  Of course he
succeeded and leaped to a nuclear leak on Three Mile Island and said, "Oh boy."
It was pretty funny.  This is the first spoof off of Quantum Leap I have seen.
Saturday Night Live did do, Donald Bellsario presents "Founding Fathers" where
George Washington, George Jefferson, and Thomas Eddison traveled in time to
help us fix our problems in the 1990s.

The ads were created to be talked about, and for that reason (alone)
they could probably be considered very effective.  People are STILL
talking about them and the election is over.

Personally, I wouldn't want any of the ads I've created to be talked
about in a that negative a sense, but when I did advertising, I
worked in the print media and wanted people to remember the product
in a favorable light.  I did NOT just want them to remember the ads.

I saw the episode HURRICANE on USA for the first time the other night
and I had a question:

At least twice in the episode
(early on when his faince looks at Sam and says "I thought I saw some green
you eyes" and later on when the drunk guy at the hurricane party says
"You look different depending on which eye I look at you through")
people make reference to Sam not seeming to be who he should or that
there is something odd about him, almost as if they are somehoe sensing the
fact that Sam is indeed not who he appears to be.  But that is never
resolved before the episode is over.  I know USA has been trimming the
episodes a little and I wonder if something has been cut.

Just to let people know who are interested: This song is now out
on CD on BMG/Zoom/Fight records, complete with lyrics and several
(4) other Rockapella songs and 5 other songs from different people.

It's a wonderful album, it comes with lyrics and stuff, and it has
a whole extra bridge and verse to WITWICS.

It also has the addresses to write to Rockapella and to Fight records,
so if people can't find the album (it was pretty hard to locate, even
in the middle of Harvard Square - 4 cd shops, 3 of them quite large,
and only one had it.  The PBS "learning" shop didn't even have it, and
they have the shirts and videos and ... and ...) I can give them these
addresses.

The album, by the way, is supposedly a soundtrack to the TV show, and
so was under soundtracks where I got it.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything else from the show on the album,
so people who liked hearing them say "the loo-oot" will just have to
keep watching.
