Quantum Leap - Dr. Ruth (1993)

Nov 26, 06:49 AM

In an attempt to complete the store’s mantra of bringing cinema back to the wasteland, Dave accidently locks himself in the Hilton Star Trek Simulator and finds himself trapped watching the “Dr. Ruth” episode of Quantum Leap, thus starting yet another TV side series.

Theorizing that one could review enough movies to resurrect the art form, video store manager David Snider stepped into the Hilton Star Trek simulator…and vanished.

He awoke to find himself trapped in the past reviewing movies and shows that he'd never seen, and driven by an unknown force to bring Cinema back to the wasteland. His only guide on this journey is Janna, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Dave can see and hear.

And so Dave finds himself leaping from show to show, striving to review what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next review will be for Avatar 3.

I’m your host and leaper, Dave, and joining me on my first Quantum Leap are fellow friends from the future Janna and Mike.

Topics of discussion in this leap include an analysis of that terrible Season 5 remix of the Quantum Leap theme song; we collectively thirst over the sex icon that is Al Calavicci; and finally, we take a brief look at the amazing life of radio sex therapist and trained sniper, Dr. Ruth Westheimer.

And thus concludes our first leap. We’ll return with another adventure just as soon as we can get Chad back online. He’s been so temperamental ever since we installed that Sarcasm upgrade.
