Quantum Leap: Catch A Falling Star: May 21, 1979

"Catch a Falling Star" is one of my favorite Quantum Leap episodes for so many reasons.

I love the romance between Sam and his former piano teacher. I love that John Cullum and Janine Turner are in this episode (first thing I'd seen either of them besides Northern Exposure). And I love that the story centers around a theatrical production of "Man of La Mancha".

I get chills everytime Sam plays the death scene at the end...

Just an actor/theatre geek, I guess, lol! =)

What a wonder script. Such a well-written episode for a series that has some really rotten ones. Love the interplay between Sam and Al here. And the parallels drawn between Sam's situation and that of Don Quixote. And the ending is just so cool! :)

Who were all those people at the end? Man of La Mancha cast or QL cast? Or both?

I'm glad Scott Bakula is getting to show off some of his singing talents!

Is probably my favorite of the entire series. I assitant directed a production of Man of La Mancha in college, and was understudy for the Cervantes/Don Quixote part. To see John Cullum and Janine Turner paired as the leads was a HOOT! I worked with them on Northern Exposure for three episodes. Yet another series that I hope hulu can get and post.
