5.0 out of 5 stars A great episode from a great show!, December 15, 2000

This review is from: Quantum Leap: Jimmy [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Why this show was cancelled is beyond me. Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell are a great team and together create real emotional depth as Dr. Sam Beckett and Al Calavicci. The science of the show is not as riveting to me as is the camaraderie between the two leads, who basically carried the show. Bakula is an actor of great versatility and style, and he plays Sam with a sweet befuddlement that is nowhere more apparent than this episode. Sam's body betrays him as he leaps into the developmentally disabled "Jimmy." He cannot seem to do anything right and it is desperately important that he not be sent back to the institution. Jimmy's sister-in-law grows more and more annoyed as Jimmy breaks plates and generally disrupts her house. Jimmy's brother and nephew accept him as he is, but Jimmy must prove himself to his brother's wife and does so in a heroic way. The usually-wisecracking Al shows a tender side as he pleads with Sam not to give up on Jimmy, giving us know a little more insight into his life.

Definitely a worthwhile episode to own. Easy to see why Bakula won a Golden Globe for his work on this series!

Sam leaps into a man named Jimmy who needs a job from his brother. While on the job he is thought to be a "retard" because he sometimes does somethings wrong. He must save a boy from drowning and save himself and his brother from being fired.
