Quantum Leap (1989–1993)
Nice 3rd Season, but looks just like syndicated versions

Warning: Spoilers
Don't get me wrong. It's really cool that they left the original season 3 openings on each episode of Quantum Leap. But, this was the first time that I remember recording each episode from its original broadcast, and I was disappointed that every single episode on this collection had the grainy look--just as they appear on sci-fi network. I know for a fact that "Black on White on Fire" had a more "high definition" look during it's original broadcast. Why didn't they leave it that way? I am also disappointed, once again, on the songs being changed on most of the episodes. Why didn't they leave it the original way? I feel like I got ripped off. I also noticed some ugly changes when I purchased the "Seinfeld Season 4" DVD Collection. The frame rate on the "tonight show" sequences on "THE TRIP" and the "Jerry" sequences on "THE PILOT" look like that of "Bowling For Columbine" or "Farenheit 911"--however, those two movies had an excuse: They were on the big screen. Even the Jackass Movie frame rate was improved once it went to video and DVD.

Anyway, the point is, who was in charge of putting these DVDs together. I bet it was the same people--therefore it was a little bit of a rip-off.

To get back to Quantum Leap, I hope that the future DVD releases are done in a lot better fashion. And a request for Universal; when you get to season 5 of the show, please try to leave "Nowhere To Run" with all the original music. I really believe that those songs best represented that episode, and changing them would really screw it up. That episode had a "Forrest Gump" vibe. Please don't change it.

Anyway, if you're a big fan of the show, then it's a must have. Season one has definitely been the best released version of the show. Hopefully Season four will have extras. Well, that's all for now. Thanks.
