The new series coming to NBC is set 30 years after the original series, and picks up with a new team led by Dr. So with the original early-1990s series airing start-to-finish on SYFY as part of SYFY Rewind, and available to stream on Peacock, we’re looking back at the key episodes new (and old) that fans need to catch up on before the upcoming revival series coming to NBC this fall. He jumped into dozens upon dozens of eras and stories across five seasons and 97 episodes - and though the basic concept is an easy one to follow - the show did have its own bit of sci-fi canon to keep straight, including a few key leaps (including some key leaps that tie into Sam’s life) and the series finale that asked just as many questions as it answered. Real or not, it was an uncomfortable performance, both for the participants and for the audience.The original Quantum Leap series became such a fan favorite because of its slice of life approach to storytelling, following Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) as he walked a day in someone’s else’s life - aiming to right a wrong and set them on a better path. But given how often such radio skits are actually directed performances rather than live capturings of spontaneously unfolding events, we remain skeptical that it was entirely on the level. This bit was the real thing and not a staged stunt, host Andy Savage told us.
A teary-eyed Kim called him a “dick” and hung up, and Greg did the same after informing Savage he was a “son of a bitch.” Greg fumbled for a bit as Kim questioned him about his wife, then finally tried the old “I was only kidding” dodge. Greg, taken aback, could only respond “Aw, Jesus …” before Savage provided him with the now superfluous bit of information that his girlfriend was on the line.
“Cindy? To your wife, Cindy? Your wife, Cindy?” (Greg didn’t find this unusual, since he admitted he came out to Minneapolis every weekend “on business.”) And where would Greg like the flowers sent? “To my wife, Cindy,” he replied.

He called Greg in Duluth and told him that his business card had been picked out of a fishbowl at a local business establishment, entitling him to one dozen free roses. Nonetheless, Savage plunged ahead with the scheme. (“Then this is going to be boring,” Savage quipped in reply.) “I know he loves me,” she told Savage quite confidently. Alarm bells should have been going off already, but Kim swore she had “absolutely no reason” to suspect Greg had been messing around on her. Since Greg lived in Duluth, which was quite a distance away (over 150 miles) from Kim’s home near Minneapolis, they saw each other only on weekends. In this instance Kim had been going out with a man named Greg for about a year, she said. Even worse would be if you were the discovered cheater, and the revelation of your unfaithfulness occurred in front of an eavesdropping public as well.īoth those scenarios are precisely what supposedly happened to two Minnesota residents named Kim and Greg on Andy Savage’s radio program (aired on the now-defunct Minneapolis station KEGE 93.7, better known as The Edge) in 1996:Ī 25-year-old woman named Kim phoned in to take part in a scheme called “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not,” a common radio skit (also known as “The War of the Roses”) in which women who suspect their lovers of fooling around behind their backs give contact information for their beaus to an on-air host, who then employs various ruses (typically offering to send a gift of free roses anywhere the man would like to have them delivered) to try to catch out the straying sweethearts. If anything could be worse than finding out your lover has been cheating on you, it would be for such a discovery to take place in front of a large audience - an audience to whom you’d just affirmed your confidence in your lover’s fidelity.
