- Oh, heavens no. A bad Quantum Leap is better than a great many other
- TV series' best efforts. Maybe not a 'top ten best' series, but very
- far from being one of the five worst. Do you REALLY think Quantum
- Leap, which usually tries hard to tell a good story (okay, except for
- the occasional 'Leaping of the Shrew' type show), is worse than such
- weekly all-style, no-substance shows as 'The Hat Squad' or
- 'Beverly Hills 90210'?
-
- Please remember that there is bad, and then there is BAD. I don't
- think Leap belongs in either category.
-
- And how can such a 'trendy' rag like EW come up with a Top 5 list
- sans 'Northern Exposure' or 'Law and Order'? Give me a break.
