Holy shit. You mentioning the opening theme change just unlocked something in my brain.

My head canon is that when Bouphe leaped into a doctor, her patient was Osie. Bouphe: Oh boy! Osie: Oh no!

Fantastic video Bouphe, well done to you, Alex and Joe for doing an amazing job. Now I want to watch the show 😀

Oh, boy.... I can remember watching "The Boogieman" episode when it first aired on BBC and spending the entire time with a 'what the actual fuck' expression on my face.

I love the "oh boy" at each leap

I've really been looking forward to more Soft Focus! Turned out wonderfully, great job Bouphe and Joe and Alex too!

as a lifelong Quantum Leap fan, this is a great primer to introduce it to your friends and family. nice work

Anyone that does that many wardrobe changes for a half hour KZread video deserves my sub!!! Doesn't hurt that I love the show.

I loved the new theme, more upbeat, loved this show, my grandmother and I watched this together until she passed away in March of 93, she never did see the series finale, but I was pleased the way it wrapped up

I guess this finally explains all the fun costumes you’ve been posting over the past months! Terrific episode with excellent editing. Definitely an entertaining look into a show I never had much familiarity with before now.

Great episode! Loved this show as a kid. Either BBC2 stopped syndicating it by then, or else I blanked out the episode with Sam leaping into a vampire...

Oh my god, this series completely slipped my mind. This just reminded me that I used to watch this years ago when it was on TV with knight rider, mission impossible and the A-Team. What a nostalgia trip. And what a strange show.

A part of me believes he's working in that old folks home in Always Sunny lol But I have faith of the heart, he's is captain Archer

Oh boy, even though I watched this when it was first uploaded. I couldn’t resist leaping back into this, might even be my third time watching it. QL was very much part of my TV viewing in the 90s, so there’s a healthy dose of nostalgia to this. Plus shirtless Scott Bakula is always a bonus. As ever when people are clearly passionate about a subject matter, it shows and just helps the viewer (hey, that’s me) engage with the video. This was a well paced episode, the leaping and costume changes was a neat touch.

This was one of the most entertaining things I have watched on KZread for a while thanks, Great work by all.

How perfect was that? I absolutely did not expect anything that I got to see from this video! I expected a review of Quantum Leap. "You know what, I actually just had to take a moment. the nostalgia took me over so hard that I actually became choked up. When I was a child, I spent a lot of time with my grandparents. I would give lots of things to go back and watch this show with them again. Okay. Sappy sad time over" I'm just blown away on how much time has been invested in this video. the leap, the characters, the OH BOY, the story telling. I appreciate you.

Just finished watching this show about a month ago and I couldn't agree more about it holding up. Great video by the way.

I've literally just been binge watching the entire series. On the penultimate episode now where Sam leaps into Elvis *so to speak. Such a good show. First watched it when I was a kid in the 90s. Thanks for a great video. Subbed. Oh and Sam Beckett running is always a funny sight to behold.

Neat! I never heard of this show until your video but I liked his role star treck before Star fleet was an intergalactic organization.

Quantum Leap is getting a reboot/sequel series coming out soon. What are you're thoughts on the new series? Thank you for the video! Quantum Leap was a great show! In my opinion, the best thing that Scott has ever done! Keep up the good work!

Well, i guess i have to watch every single episode of quantum leap now. Great video as always!

Awesome vid Bouphe, these keep getting better and better. Quantum Leap is one of those shows I have fond memories of, not just from the episodes but it was one of those shows as a kid I would sit with my mum and watch, chewing on some popcorn and having my tiny mind blown at each "oh boy" ending. When it ended I was gutted, not only because of the show had finished but because it became such a part of my weekly life, every Tuesday it was Quantum Leap and popcorn with Mum and it was like, what do we do now?.. Luckily we didn't have to wait too long as X-files turned up soon after. I had some weird TV habits as a kid, Quantum Leap, X-files and Star Trek with Mum and Twin Peaks, Rab C Nesbit and Bottom with Dad. If it wasn't for me waking up early on a Sunday to watch Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors I would have had nothing to talk about with my friends in the playground. Thanks for the reminder of some good times Bouphe. Keep these vids going, you put a lot of love into them and it shows, it also looks a lot of fun putting them together.

Great Video Bouphe. And R.i.p to the legend Dean Stockwell

What a lovely trip down memory lane. I loved Quantum Leap when it was on TV. I really should go through the box set and watch all the episodes I may have missed. Excellent choices on your favourite episodes.

The vibe in each of these videos is just ✨ keep it up bouphe!

I had just been thinking the other day about Soft Focus, looking at the lovely Bouphe icon in the KZread app. I'm so happy you've released another one and definitely a big thanks to Alex and Joe for helping out. Oh boy!!

This was thoroughly entertaining. I have to say, I’ve seen the finale dozens of times. I think it’s grown on me and I dare say I even like it now

This was wonderful, Bouphe. I've never seen "Quantum Leap," but now I want to. Big thanks to you, Alex, and Joe for all the hard work that clearly went into this video! It's kind of funny knowing that both leads went on to space-faring projects in the early 2000s. It took me a bit to realize that Al was Cavil/Cylon #1, though - Dean Stockwell had quite the acting range, it seems. If you need more Scott Bakula in your life and haven't watched "Chuck," I highly recommend it (even though he was only in a handful of episodes). Actually, a lot of big names including Carrie-Anne Moss, Linda Hamilton, Tony Todd, and Timothy Dalton make appearances throughout the series, so there's probably a bit of Hollywood in it to fit everyone's tastes.

Ahh this takes me back, used to love Quantum Leap as a youngster. Great video, loved the costumes, great editing and effects. I must say, you steam a good ham!

The Fucking tenstion sheet oh wow that takes me back

I saw about half the episodes when it used to be on BBC2 at teatime, clearly I need to go back and watch the rest! Great video Bouphe

Great epsiode! I used to watch Quantum Leap all the time with my Dad! Still one of my favourite shows. This has made me nostalgic to rewatch it all. I definitely remember feeling the same about the final as you though.

Incredible work, Bouphe (and Alex and Joe). Well worth the long wait :) All that work you put into it, and all the costumes, has definitely paid off. When I was little I watched random episodes of Quantum Leap on German TV because it was the only option for us, and I honestly didn't get what it was about then - either cuz I was too young or didn't understand the German dub well enough. Rewatched it (in original English this time) when you first started talking about this project and it does make a bit more sense when you're older, sort of. But even if I didn't get it when I was little, it's one of those shows I've always remembered because it's so different. They dared to try new things and pushed subjects no one else would touch, and that is very rare for American made TV.

I love how you know about this show, its so weird how youve made this video and ive literally been watching this with my fam recently, the timing... lol. Love the video boof

Utterly fantastic episode! Well done to everyone involved! I absolutely loved Quantum Leap when it aired. I watched most of them and recall enjoying the love story between Sam and the other leaper most of all. It was very intense. I also recall watching the final episode and having absolutely no idea what was going on because I was like 14 and dumb as fuck. Come to think of it, I probably still wouldn't understand it.

i can tell you’ve put a lot of time into this one! wonderful editing work too bouphe, always love seeing these come out :)

This was fantastically made bouphe!! Once again, lovin' the soft focus series. Never expected one on quantum leap but it was well done especially with you leaping as well! Hope you're doing well boupheLove boupheWave

Since NBC turned a cold shoulder to Scott Bakula, it's time to remember What Used To Be. (Expecting another Franchise turned into a dumpster fire, burning to ashes, which blow away in wokeward winds of Hollyweird.) One of the most intense episodes (multi-part!) put "Dr. Sam Beckett" into Lee Harvey Oswald!

The books are also quite good. Looking forward to the remake being made.

Soft Focus just gets better and better. I love it. I hate you for getting me onto so much crap, you're the worst. Keep it up, I can't get enough.

I can see all the effort that went in to this, it deserves more views!

Yes! Just 100% yes. Your Soft Focus logo, your presentation, and covering one of my favorite shows; I love you and this episode. Great work, Bouphe!

I haven't even begun to watch the video! I'm so excited to find this gem today!

the best youtube series returns!

I absolutely love this vid. 1. Archer IS Sam and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. 2. Al is totally a cylon. 3. Have you seen the new series?

Funny, entertaining, and informative - An absolute masterpiece. It astounds me how much time and effort must have gone into every second of the video, from the costumes to scripting to gathering and compiling that mountain load of clips. All the assets and editing made for a particularly unique and wondrous viewing experience. Amazing work Bouphe, Alex, and Joe.

Knocked this video out of the park Sophie! Happy to have seen it early on Patreon! Also Shirtless Bakula wowwie wowwie

I really appreciate this, at the very least because I feel like so many Quantum Leap references have gone over my head over the years. Now I will understand, and chuckle softly in appreciation!

Oh I do love a good video essay and fuck if this isn’t a good video essay! Proper quality work once again!

I absolutely loved this show growing up

These always feel so nostalgic even for things I've never seen. Great job Bouphe!

Hey I finally understand the always sunny episode where they parody this 😅

I’ve never seen this show, only references in other shows, but this video really made me want to give it a go! It was really well written and presented, informative and entertaining! Thanks Bouphe!

Wooo more soft focus. It's become one of my most anticipated series on YT by this point.

I can't help but smile so hard during this

Fantastic work Bouphe , I need to rewatch QL now ❤️💙

Oh boy... Now I wanna binge Quantum Leap... Such a great show! And amazing video!! Hope the sequel or reboot does it justice! Annndddd... Al only just now tells me this video was uploaded almost a year ago. God damn it Ziggy.

I knew the general plot of quantum leap 'cause my mom was a fan of it but it was fun to see an in depth look at this wacky show. Thanks Bouphe! Hope you're doing well

Amazing!!1 I used to see Quantum Leap on the TV guide all the time - never watched it and had no idea what it was about - this has made me interested as well as being entertaining to watch! I would defo not want to leap into that Candy-Marie! 😤! I think it would be cool to leap into a director like Edgar Wright or Sam Raimi and you're trying to make a popular film the same as it was, but stop yourself changing things! Or just be Rich Evans for a day! Great work Bouphe, Alex the best editor, and Joe!✨

@@Bouphe It was a good ending. The last line is, "Sam never returned to his own time." Basically, once he realised he was in control of the leaps, he spent the rest of his existence, to this point anyway, they are still talking about a revival of the show, to correct the wrongs. It's fitting that it "ends" with fixing Al's timeline and then starts his new journey and beyond.

Awesome video Bouphe! I can't believe you got your own Quantum Leap effect - it's spot on. I am sadly old enough to remember QL when it was on originally. Thought it was pretty cheesy and a bit formulaic at the time, but this makes me want to revisit it. I didn't watch the later seasons and managed to avoid finding out how it ended until now. I think realistically I'm never going to watch 97 episodes now, so thanks for clearing that up (as much as such a weird plot can be) :)

ahhhh this takes me back

You have good taste in episodes. I have to say, my least favorite episode of the series is Dreams. The tone just doesn't fit with the rest of the series. Just throwing that out there. But I made a list of my favorite episodes and then narrowed it down to my Top 10. I cheated just a little bit, but hey, it its my list, so I am allowed. First though, an Honorable mention. I love the episode Freedom. Sam leaps into an Indian that is trying to help his hosts Grandfather, or Kenu, get back to the Indian Reservation to die. It was hard for me to remove this episode because Kenu is so funny. But, what are ya going to do? But my top 10 are as follows. 10) A Hunting We Will Go. Sam leaps into a Bounty hunter that has met his match with a Woman that he is tasked to bring in after she stole a million dollars from her boss. Really funny and Scott has great chemistry with Jane Sibbett, the actress that plays his Prisoner Diane. 9)Leaping of the Shrew. With Brooke Shields, they do a play on her Movie The Blue Lagoon where they get shipwrecked and Sam has to get Vanessa Foster to admit she could be in love with a Greek shipman. All around fun episode and I loved The Blue Lagoon, so I have always enjoyed this episode. 8)Honeymoon Express. Just all around a really enjoyable episode. I love the ones where we glimpse the future and again, the chemistry between Scott and his co-star, Alice Adair is on point. Love the little bit at the end with the Senator. 7)M.I.A. it hurts to put this one so low on the list. I love the episode, The final scene with Al and Beth, That is the heart and soul of Quantum Leap. But Ultimately, it is mostly the end of the episode that makes it so good in my eyes and there are others that the episode as a whole was better even if they didn't have as good a scene. 6) The Leap Back: So, I have to split this from Shock Theater. I love this episode. It is such a great dynamic swapping Sam and Al. But ultimately, there are a couple that I just love that I go back to occasionally to watch. I will watch Shock Theater as a stand alone episode. 99% of the time, I will watch The Leap Back immediately after, but I won't watch The Leap back without first watching Shock Theater. 5) Killin’ Time. This episode is Excellent. The future stuff, Al physically risking his life for Sam and everything with it. It is just so good. 4) The Curse of Ptah-Hotep. Now, I am a History Buff and I love Egyptology. This episode for me is a Given. I also love that Sam is able to easily slip into his hosts life and not miss a beat. 3) Shock Theater. This one is so good. Brings us back to prior leaps. Showcases Sam's acting chops. What is not to love? 2) A Leap for Lisa. Far and away the best stand alone episode. Sam leaping into Al, then messing things up. then fighting to get Al back before he forgot him. Brilliant on a bunch of levels. 1) Trilogy. Ok, so this one might be cheating because it is split into three episodes. But, it is told as one long story. You see how the people have changed over the course of Abigail's life, Then realizing that he fathered Sammy Jo. The third part was always my favorite, but the whole Trilogy was, in my opinion, the best of Quantum Leap.

Just over the top quality both in editing and story well worth the production time 😄

yoooo this was hilarious, well worth the wait! Great video, Bouphe!

Holy crap this was excellent Bouphe.

Miss seeing you with the Boiks!!! I AM STILL A FAN THO!!! I come back and check on your channel every now and then. :3

Amazing as always! The costumes just get better each leap. Love it!

Another banger Bouphe, always putting quality over quantity and makes someone like me who has little knowledge of the 80s to be super into it. Keep on keepin on!

Great video. I'm a huge fan of Quantum Leap and am looking forward to and hoping that the forthcoming reboot is great too. You didn't mention it in the video. So I don't know if you know. But I remember hearing that the reason we got the ending we got in the final ever episode is because the makers of the show had plans for a season 6. But then the show was abruptly cancelled and with no time for a rewrite. So we got the ending we got including the captions about Beth never remarrying, her and Al having a long and happy marriage with kids and Sam never returning home. Oh, and the first episode where Sam leaps into Jimmy, the guy with Downs Syndrome. Whenever they do a full re-run of Quantum Leap on TV. They ALWAYS skip over that episode. And I'm guessing that it's because in today's culture. They'd have to edit the episode to within an inch of its life to avoid getting complaints.
