Does anyone else remember this show? It was a Sunday night show on NBC in '81 or so.. Went up against 60 minutes, so.. Only lasted one season..
I found it on DVD a few years ago.. But I loved that show as a kid.. Jon-Erik Hexum in one of his first starring roles and late 70's, early 80's kid star Meeno Peluce.
Basically Quantum Leap before Quantum Leap, and with an educational twist to it.
Yeah.. That was the first time many people learned that blanks can kill.. Basically the wadding in the blank fired with enough force into his temple to break a quarter sized piece of skull right into his brain.
Sad and stupid all rolled into one.
It held up decently well when I rewatched it on DVD.
There were a few things that.. We just know more about now.. The Titanic episode was off a bit.. The one where Jeff lands a 747.. But, they also told stories about things that were just not widely known at the time.. Such as the fact that the Lincoln assassination was originally a kidnapping plot..
I remember it.....when KCEN Channel 6 was in the low end of the radio band and I listened to the Pearl Harbor episode on the way back, probably, to TAMU. They land somewhere in WWII, in the outfits from the last trip, pass themselves off to the medic they bump into as USO, find out what is wrong with time, head off to take care of it.

18, yeah.. it's a good childhood memory. I remember the Babe Ruth episode, where Ruth crosses paths with a time-transplanted Cleopatra.
Around that same time I was reading the Choose Your Own Adventure book series. Time travel & historical fiction must've been on my young mind.. Cool show, & cool time to be a kid.
