Sam leaps into the body of an inmate of an "insane asylum" in the mid 1950's. Before he even figures out where he is, he is administered a massive electrical shock, which throws his own psyche into a tail spin and causes him to live out the many people that Sam Beckett has leaped into in the past. Fantastic acting from Scott Bakula as he portrays many of the personalities from previous episodes. Weird, spooky atmosphere in the dilapidated hospital, and terrific direction keep the suspense piling up. A winner.

Shock theater is one of my favorite episodes. The acting is great and very touching and Dean Stockwell and Scott Bakula give emotional performances. The episode keeps you on the edge of your seat and entertained. My only complaint is that other episodes are not on video, I wish they were.

I was so pleased to watch this video again. My hope is that soon I can order the last show. It is very nice to see this and be able to remember so many more of the people Sam had helped.

This episode is extremely satisfying for anyone who is familiar with the series and especially the Sam-Al relationship. It is a definite tour-de-force for Scott Bakula's acting talents, as it is a rare time when he not only plays Sam Beckett but "becomes" those he has previously leapt into. I highly recommend this episode.

Wonderful performances by Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. Great plot. Loved it. Just one of the many reasons Quantum Leap should have lasted longer than it did.

If I had ever doubted the acting ability of the cutest man on earth, Scott Bakula, all I needed to do was watch this episode. Amazing work, I was blown away. Dean Stockwell also plays an excellent role.

One the best acting work by Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell. Especially Scott with the complex characters he did. Still one of the best episodes of the Earlier Seasons
