I don't remember it exactly, but it seemed like Quantum Leap had a good finale.

That one was pretty good. In the end, they do the flash thing and Sam's sidekick guy with the hand pc goes to walk thru a canon and bumps into it. In other words, they have switched places.

It was a horrible ending that was the ending for season 3 i think it was

I got the dvd series afew months ago and the ending sucked because it just cut off and wasn't the ending that they were ment to have it's just thye got canceled do they threw it together

The ending was sam going back to AL's wife and he tells her to wait for AL after the war which changes it all and AL goes on to being married with 2 or 3 girls and sam never returning home

ChadTower:

Is it a good idea to be giving out endings?  Maybe put a spoiler alert on the thread title.

shardian:
Hmm.. I thought the switch thing happened at the end of the cave-in episode. My bad.

And Chad, you already told me that the boobies are getting ready to leave 24 and be replaced by fugly woman that's worse than Nina.  Talk about spoilers... :'(

quantum leap spoilers:
The switch happened at the end of the episode where he jumped into the body of a psychiatric patient just in time to get his brain zapped with the good old fashioned electrodes they used to (and very rarely still) use. Because of the shock he started re-living a lot of his previous roles, most of which made him sound even crazier since they took place in later times than the current jump. Throughout the episode Al starts to get fainter and fainter because the longer Sam's brain is fried the weaker the connection that binds them becomes. Right at the end Jimmy-Sam finally talks a nurse into repeating the procedure just as Al is about to vanish for good - and at that exact moment a bolt of lightning hits the hospital and connects Al & Sam and switches their roles. I believe it was the only time Al ever got to be in the opening teaser and share the "Oh boy!" tagline the show was famous for. However, the astonishing discovery we make in this following episode is what makes Sam's final decision to continue leaping forever all the more saddening.   :'(

I just got Season 3 on DVD.  I haven't seen 1 or 2, but so far 3 is great.
The best thing about it is what you shardian said, at the end of the show there is a cliffhanger but it gets solved by the end of the next show, which reveals some new cliffhanger.   I saw season 1 of prison break, and that was good, but it had just one goal and it took all season to reach it.

I could see how this might get tiresome if you have to wait a week to see the next show, but on DVD it's a great show.

The whole one day of no sleeping, eating or the opposite of eating thing is believable because(at least in season 3) there were 18 months between this 24 hours and the last.  Even in my field I've worked over 24 hours without sleep.(not that anyone would want to watch those 24 hours).  On the DVDs you see a clock where the comercial starts and then the clock again when the commercial ends. Usually they show that 5 minutes have gone by, so in the 24 reality, Jack could be taking a dump while you're watching the commercials.  Or even while they show some other character's storyline, since the clock is always ticking.


Sorry if this was all said already, I skipped the other "24" related posts because I didn't want to read any spoilers.
