Rating: - Better than I remembered
In 1982, while this show aired, I was six, turning seven during its run.

While it only lasted 20 episodes and was bumped by the World Series too often, I was glued to the television whenever it was on.

The lead actor was a rare thing in those days. He was a true athlete, not some skinny twerp pretending to be a tough guy. He could act. He appealed to all ages and genders for different reasons: ladies like the pretty-boy aspect, guys liked the tough guy thing, little boys knew he'd always save the kid from trouble. While the actor died of a tragic accident, he left a short, but impressive legacy in his role as Phinneas Bog.

The kid was a touch hammy, but often true to form for child actors of the era. The difference here was the show's writers played to his strengths and it showed. He complemented his on-screen buddy well.

The shows did its best stab at history, made it exciting, and ended each episode with a "if you want to learn more, it's all in books, at your public library."

Quantum Leap never would have happened without this show where the characters fixed things that went wrong with time...
