I think syndication still does. My DVR is set to record the original on whatever channel that plays it currently, and while I can't necessarily identify that a particular track has gone missing, I do still often hear the original licensed music of the era. Not sure if it's all of it, but at least some measure of it is still there.

According to Wikipedia, the series was re-released on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2018 with "most" of the original music intact. I've only skipped around and checked a few spots and found that to be correct, but there was a LOT of music removed from the original set and I'm not OCD enough to go to every song and find out what's still missing from the re-release.

FWIW I'm watching "Good Morning Peoria" on Peacock which according to a post on the Quantum Leap forums has the following songs removed - quote:GOOD MORNING, PEORIA And so far I've heard a lot of them.

Teek posted:One interesting wrinkle of this episode, was that Ben is actually inhabiting the body of the original person, which I guess also helps explain why there’s no one in the waiting room. I'm actually way more interested in the perspective of the leapees, in this story, than in Ben and friends. Like, if the waiting room exists, are they being fully debriefed on the program and sworn to secrecy? Are they left there with no information, thinking they got abducted by aliens or something? When they get back, they must notice that time has passed and they've apparently done things they don't remember doing. Or, in the worst case scenario, they remember being possessed by a man from the future. No possibility I can think of is good. If I woke up and discovered I'd blacked out an entire day (or however long) I'd go straight to the hospital where, I assume, it'd be taken pretty seriously.

I’m pretty sure the old show explained it by saying that time travel causes severe amnesia the first few times, so they wouldn’t really understand what was happening while in 1999 and presumably wouldn’t remember being there after they are returned. Of course, they broke that rule all the time, as was the style of the show. There’s one where Dr. Ruth gives Al marriage counseling while Sam’ thing is going on.

I am not sure if its implied but my though is the leapee's memory is restored to whatever happened in their time period replacing whatever Project QL stuff they knew.

Good: Infodump about Magic. I figured he had something to do with re-establishing the QL project. Bad: The show continues to poorly use tunes in a non-diegetic manner.

This episode got another part of the classic formula right in having a fun and charismatic guest cast. Even the dad who’s just in one scene. Westworld crossover looks tight, too. Edit: I agree that the score is jarring and unnecessary. It’s like it’s constantly trying to enhance a sense of surprise. The on-the-nose needle-drops of era-specific soundtrack songs aren’t great either. Commit to a full minute and a montage or don’t bother, imo.

You can tell "We Got The Beat" was chosen so the pounding drums could start right at the montage. Using "Ballroom Blitz" for the bar chase scene was pretty good, though.

I (re?)watched "M.I.A." and "The Leap Home" from the original series in anticipation of watching Episode 4 because someone on Reddit told me I should. This improved my watching experience twofold: in that I knew what Magic was talking about when he talked about it, and I got to see how hokey the actual show Quantum Leap was compared to my memory. Makes the 2022 show seem better in comparison than if you're coming to it from Better Call Saul or something. It would be a real missed opportunity if Ian wasn't the observer at least once this season. Now that the main Addison drama is cleared up it would be nice for some of the co-workers to get a shot.

I like how they're both leaning into the OG series mythology and also moving the plot forward. We're 4 episodes in and they've addressed both Sam Becket's not leaping home and Ben realizing Addison is his fiancé. I would have expected both of them to be season-ending reveals. This is solidly a sequel to the original.

Really happy about the Magic pay off. Amused they sidestepped the waiting room aspect. Also interesting that they apparently are introducing some aspect of consent on the part of the person being leaped into, which I guess is a valid thing never really addressed. Music hasn’t bothered me too much, just happy they’re apparently spending the money to get era specific tunes. Hopefully that’ll carry over to later airings. I know Warehouse 13 back on Syfy paid out for some music which only ever played on the first showing of the episode, I think being removed on the second airing later than same day. Was very weird.

I think the use of music as non-diegetic may be due to a hybrid creative/financial decision. Think about the episode where Beth dances with Al’s memory to Georgia On My Mind. Because of streaming rights to the music, the scene just doesn’t hit as hard when they use some non-specific license-free music. In the new series, if they fail to get streaming rights to the music, dramatic filler music wouldn’t feel so out of place. It’s a theory.

I’d love to see the scenes back at the project be about the team helping figure things out for Ben’s leap. I guess you need a b-story for a tv show, but it really undermines the a-story when there’s a completely disconnected other story with its own stakes and sense of urgency. Let’s see them use databases or reconstruct the old town to help Ben set up the trap or something. Does that guy at the end appear anywhere else in the episode? I’m guessing he’s another do-gooder or at worst somebody just trying to hide out in the past vs an evil leaper or something. They should not touch the evil leaper stuff unless they make the decision to go as camp as the old show.

I really expected this one to end like S2E1 of the original series. Like after Ben saves the town, the adversarial senator woulda transmorphed into another person due to the national district lines changing significantly or what ever.

That was really fun. I'm waiting for a moment when Addison has to go and then Janice comes out from around a corner to talk to Ben. It looked like she had her own imaging chamber thing, so I assume she's going to try to get in contact with Ben somehow. That guy at the end said Ben should stop following him, so I assume that person has been leaping to the same places Ben has. Maybe that guy is setting up things to go bad, and Ben is fixing them.

The show is watchable enjoyable, but the small kinda things already most of ya'll have said would make it pretty good. Less current timeline things that don't tie in, more Ben on his own in the leap. It would also be nice to settle in and get to the point of "Gotta get through a bunch of leaps and knock them out" and less worry about all the other stuff. A steady group of "standalone" episodes. Not everything has to be some epic mystery we drip learn every week. For the most part, still looking forward to watching weekly and see where it's going and cool time travel spaces.

That phone thing is straight out of the pilot of the original series. That and the scene where Ben is confused about remembering the earthquake seem like the only parts that could have been part of the pilot this was reworked from. That and the 90s handlink.

I don't know if this is a change or continuity error but Jenn said that when Addison is in the imaging chamber, she sees Ben as Ben. That was definitely not the case in the original series. Al would see Sam as whoever's body he was in.

I think that was a loose rule that they kind of bounced back and forth on in the original series (currently rewatching it). It was a plot point the first time Sam leapt into a woman, Al had to go to therapy because he was "attracted to his best friend", but later in the series they sometimes commented on the person in the observation room (I specifically remember then commenting on the vampire)
