Of course the first few episodes have had high ratings because new
people tune in to see what all the hype is about and original fans tune
in for nostalgia ... then they realise it's just yet another crap
reboot with has nothing to do with the original other than stealing the
main idea, and most tune out again.


'Quantum Leap' At NBC to Extend Season 1 By Six Episodes
--------------------------------------------------------
NBC has ordered six additional episodes of the "Quantum Leap"
revival. The original order of 12 episodes has now been
extended to 18, bringing Season 1 to a total of 18 episodes.

The series premiered on Sept. 19 as a sequel to NBC's
1989-1993 series of the same name. This version stars
Raymond Lee as Dr. Ben Seong, as a world-renowned physicist
and a man of faith. 30 years after Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott
Bakula in the original series) stepped into the Quantum Leap
accelerator and vanished, a new team has been assembled to
restart the project in the hopes of understanding the
mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it.
Ernie Hudson, Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park and
Nanrisa Lee also star.

NBC's order makes "Quantum Leap" the first new series of
the fall TV season to receive an extension. According the
network, the most recent data suggests that it is the
highest-rated new show in the 18-49 demographic.

Variety's review said that "among the entries in
television's recent reboot gold rush, 'Quantum Leap' is
arguably the series most deserving of a contemporary
reimagining," and noted that the new version "operates as
a kind of Swiss army procedural, and each episode has the
potential to ricochet in just about any direction."

Martin Gero serves as showrunner executive produces along
with Dean Georgaris, Don Bellisario, Deborah Pratt, Chris
Grismer, Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt. Universal
Television serves as the studio, producing in association
with I Have an Idea! Entertainment, Belisarius Productions
and Quinn's House Productions.
