NBC Took a Quantum Leap Backward
To report that NBC’s “Quantum Leap” “simply ran out of steam in the ratings” does not show the whole picture (“Networks Fan Sweeps With Exits, Events,” April 24). NBC killed “Quantum Leap” by moving it from Wednesday night at 10 to Tuesday at 8, preempting it week after week and cutting its budget, diminishing its quality. If “Quantum Leap” ran out of steam, it was because NBC wanted it that way.
“Quantum Leap” viewers are still here and, like those of a certain other canceled series (“Star Trek”), will not simply go away.
