That show was wonderful! Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell were the best team. And the show was a wonderful showcase for Scott Bakula. He could act, dance, sing, play guitar, and had the opportunity to step into so many different characters. My favorite moments:
Sam leapt into a man who was immediately given an electro shock treatment. I tscrambled Sam's brain, and he began evoking the personalities of all the people he had leapt into to that point. Boxer, pilot, old black man, Down Syndrome kid, so many different characters. And he performed them all so well.
the Lee Harvey Oswald episode.
The episode where he and Al switched places (if for no other reason to see Sam go home for a little while.)
the episode where Sam leapt into a rape victim. The end of the episode, her attacker confronts "her" and attampts to rape "her" again, and Sam gives him a royal whupping!!!!
Love that show!
