OT: Al from Quantum Leap passed away

[CochiseCowbell]

Dean Stockwell was 85.

Damnit, Ziggy!

 

[dawgstudent]

Ziggy is still alive!

Lately we've been watching Quantum Leap, after the Wheel goes off. Getting older is WILD. Dean Stockwell was an interesting cat, RIP.

 

[Shmuley]

I see Vanna. She's getting old. But the older I get, the better she looks.

 

[GloryDawg]

Wasn't he the bad humanoid on Battle Star Gallactica?

 

[Mayor of Little London]

Natural causes or foul play? If it was the latter, Sam could go back and set right what once went wrong…

 

[Predestined]

No that was John Colicos. You may be thinking of the 84 Dune - he was Dr Yueh.

 

[Drebin]

I see Vanna. She's getting old. But the older I get, the better she looks.

Still would.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

If he's referring to the new version of the show, then yes he was.

Yes.

 

[Mobile Bay]

With enthusiasm.

Thought he was a 6pack poster that I'd never seen post

Quantum Leap was a great show.

Watched his A-Team episode two nights ago.

Sorry to see a good actor go.
FYI, the interactions between B.A. and Murdock can still make a 10 year old boy cackle with laughter in 2021. My son is coming down to my basement office every night now wanting to get our evening episode started.

 

[Dawg1979]

Still would.

i'm passing now. too much plastic surgery. i'm sure those tits are still fire though

Quantum Leap was a great show.

I liked it. Amazing with all the constant remakes and as popular as scifi has gotten that nobody has tried a remake of quantum leap.

I guess it would be weird if Al was constantly trying to give him updates from Ziggy and he was like, I've got a 17ing I-phone Al, you can shut the 17 up now about ziggy.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

Dean was a murder victim on Columbo. He was a rich playboy who owned a football team and Robert Culp killed him.

[was21]

He was the candy colored clown in Blue Velvet...great actor..and a close friend of Dennis Hopper..that's a good thing

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Damn

I like them show myself. I watched it every week when I got home from night school. I hope they never remake it because it'll never have the same feel as it did with the way they produce things now.

That last episode was a really good one

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

He was in a ton of movies and TV productions. Here is a list. He sure loved to act

In response to IBM & 00 Dawgs:

One, they shouldn't remake it.

Two, they can't currently. That show reaffirmed & held up "older" values & several differing religions while not outright doing so. It was a damn good show that tackled serious social issues both present &, of course, past.

Yet, it didn't tell you how to think or what to think or have an overall directive message.

Subtlety is currently a lost art.

Exactly. Everything's either ridiculous reality TV or current social, political, or pop culture television and shows are just as shallow as they are.

Man I really miss having six or seven television shows that you could watch during the week and just enjoy or be entertained.
