Forget Sam leaping into a cryptid hunt, have him leap INTO a cryptid.

I had an idea for a book that was made up of short leaps that Al tries to keep Sam's attention off of some danger he is in the middle of. It tied up a bunch of things and had Sam accidentally giving Bellisario the idea for the show Quantum Leap. Unfortunately, the books were discontinued before I could get it finished.

7:45 The Loch Ness Monster doesn't eat the guy. The monster just leans in, and right after Sam leaps out, he asks him for tree-fitty.

Allison, I couldn't comment on the finale video. I've come to see the finale of Quantum Leap as Al finally leaping home. I realize that there was ambiguity in the production. But Al was the one who was lost the WHOLE time, not Sam. The last line of the series is, "Al is alive and he's coming home." It's some serendipitous and artistic stuff having his picture Leap at the end, but it's awesome.

I had the honour to have my first fanfic, Terror Firma, considered by Ginjer Buchanan of Berkeley books for possible inclusion in the novelisation series. In the end I lost out to Loch Ness Leap. If anyone is interested, the letters I got from Ginjer are in the notes for the fanfic on AO3.

Holy shit! AVGN was in a Quantum Leap novel?!? 15:48

Now that should have been a TV episode!

Love the idea of Sam leaping into a set of twins and is split into good and evil Sams, the evil one is thinking of just taking over this guys life so hes freed from being a leaper, thats a cool concept i could have totally seen done in the show, maybe as a 2-3 parter where All is trying to track him down n Evil sam makes it more and more difficult.
Awesome list! Absolutely love those painted oldschool covers :D

Dr. Allison Pregler never returned home ...

... without a new Quantum Leap novel in her hand to review and critique!

[TightPantsJack]

This really takes me back. I read ALL of those books as a kid, while the show was still very fresh. Even then I got the impression that they were very much glorified fanfics (but I loved them anyway).

I'm surprised you didn't mention the book where Sam lept into a little girl and had to cope with being smaller than everyone else around him.

[somethingaboutguns]

I lowkey want these books to come back. I know Sam has done so much since the last one I really wonder what he’s been up to. What’s next? I love this series and I’m on my way to collect all of them.

WOW I never knew this channel existed you are my all time favorite YouTuber I love you

As a Brit, I was always disappointed that Sam never leaped into someone in the UK. (I think the vampire episode was set in England, but that hardly counts.)

[patrickthomas]

I ordered a QL novel off of EBay and was so excited. Sadly, I couldn’t make it past the first 10-20 pages. It was so generic and dull. Felt like an English major scrambled to complete a 100 page assignment at the last minute and padded it out with filler. 10 pages in, and all that happened was Al walked down a hallway. It was mostly just a description of what his clothes looked like and how his cigar smelled. Not exactly a page turner. I wanted to leap into my past self and prevent the eBay order.

I've never even seen Quantum Leap, but some of these books sound amazingly crazy.

Quantum Leap is an amazing show. Lee Harvey Oswald part 2 (the BEST episode in my opinion) was one of the only times I remember where a TV show caused my dad to literally hold his breath and cry a little bit at the end.

I wish I had these novels as a kid. I would have read all of them. I'd love to hear you talk more about them!

[TV-Tony]

Also loved Search and Rescue and Double or Nothing as well. Was hoping you'd mention them. You should do a review of the Innovation comics if you haven't already.

[charleslee]

I have "Double or Nothing" and "Pulitzer." I loved the fact that the former book had one of the twins retaining the knowledge of home.

[grkpektis]

I have never watched the show yet but I still wanted to see this because I knew you would make it funny
