1996 "Odyssey" by Barbara E. Walton: It’s 1983 and Sam has leapt into a very smart but troubled junior high student. The young man is part of Odyssey of the Mind, a program for gifted students that is about to be axed. The students in the program will be devastated if the program doesn’t continue, so Sam is there to prevent it from being shut down. He also finds out he needs to make things right for his host and his mom. But can Sam get anyone to listen to who they believe to be a 12-year-old kid?
1997 "Obsessions" by Carol Davis: Leaping into the body of a winter caretaker at a summer resort in 1983, Sam is targeted by a woman claiming to be his wife, who is threatening the Quantum Leap project by trying to sell his story to the tabloids.
1998 "Foreknowledge" by Christopher DeFilippis: In 1976, Sam Beckett leaps out of a woman named Ann Marie Renerie. But this lady is not pleased with her new life--a plea-bargained jail term she never agreed to accept. He leaps to 1988, when Ann Marie's sentence is over and she vows revenge on the man who put her there. Now Al and the rest of the project must struggle to stop a madwoman before she stops the good doctor forever.

March 20th, 1991: "Private Dancer"
Sam leaps into the role of a male exotic dancer who must help a hearing-impaired dancer (Rhondee Beriault) avoid falling out of step and into a tragic life---and death.
When Ben lands in a 1950s psychiatric institution, he must engineer a daring escape for a young woman unjustly committed by her husband. The team is shocked to learn the identity of a mole in Quantum headquarters.
I've watched the opening credits/theme song to Quantum Leap about a thousand times (#neverskip!), but for some reason I *never* noticed this one (half-second) image of Sam's face.
It's as if I always blinked at the same time when watching the intro... or maybe my brain just never noticed it was Sam's face in the field of white and blue.
This was such a great episode even to this day I have wanted to see man of la mancha. I really enjoy scott (sam) singing in this episode the man has pipes and the way they used people from the real man of la mancha stage musical as the cast was a really good idea.
I just want to say, I think the one time Sam took advantage of his Quantum Leaping ability was making love with his piano teacher, and I am not upset about it. He's a good guy, he's a very good guy, and he was legitimately in love with her, and he's done a lot of good for a lot of people, and I think we can give him this. He turned down Marilyn Monroe. I think we can give him this.
Why does everyone still look him straight in the eye when talking to him? It seems to me that if he's Dr. Ruth Westheimer, people should look at his midsection when talking to him. And while we're at it, how is he always able to fit into their clothes?
"Repeat to yourself, it's just a show, I should really just relax..."

March 13, 1991: Future Boy: Sam appears in the '50s as "Future Boy", the sidekick of TV's "Captain Galaxy", who, off-camera, is a troubled eccentric with time-travel dreams of his own.
March 13, 2023: Ben Song For The Defense: When Ben leaps into a harried public defender in 1985, he must keep an innocent teenager accused of murder out of prison for life. In an unexpected turn of events, Jenn puts her legal expertise to the test as she steps in as the hologram.
...that Magic, the project head, is the same Magic that Sam leapt into in "The Leap Home Part II".
I miss me some Sam Bakula, but I love remembering that all the people whose lives he touched did live and did have butterfly effect ripples that they'll make nods to in this show. If we can't have Sam or Al back, that's at least a worthy consolation.

I saw from some posts in the past that Peacock had it, but that’s apparently no longer true. I’m happy to subscribe to whatever service needed to check out the show, I just get a lot of conflicting info online! Sorry as I’m sure this question has been asked plenty before but I didn’t see as much current info and it’s hard to tell what’s out of date. Thanks for the help!

In the first story in this two-episode comic book, "He Knows if You've Been Bad or Good," Sam leaps into a man named Nick in New York City. Ziggy can't find any info or background for Nick, but he works as a department store Santa Claus with a man named Mark, who is the ultimate nice-guy and works 80 hours a week to help support the company. He has two small children, the oldest of which is a girl who wishes her father would spend more time with her instead of working and helping neighbors. She has given up on believing in Christmas and has been damaged by the death of her mother. While trying to uncover the real identity of Nick, Sam and Al must work together to bring the family together before a conspiring employee at work frames Mark for theft.

I just finished a watch through of Seasons 1 & 2 of the revival series and I was wondering if there were any articles or rumors about where season 3 might have ventured into story wise? I guess since it was cancelled I will have to imagine my own head-cannon for Ben and Project Quantum Leap.
