re: Would you welcome a Quantum Leap reboot?

I had to go with John Slattery on that. Al was an aging womanizer who could actually get them too. Also covering up a lot of pain, regret and turmoil.

John can be a funny guy as we saw on mad men. I think he could hold his own in the dramatic parts too and overall role.

I'd envision his character being a former journalist who was on scene for events like the first gulf war, Somalian black hawk battle, etc. Possibly taken as a hostage by a radical group if you want to still go down the POW route.

I just think he could nail it and it would be cool to see him back on tv.

But I think Al should be a witty comedic actor, who can also throw in some drama here and there. Nobody in particular comes to mind at the moment.

Not sure who would be a good Sam (maybe John Krasinski). Maybe too old, but what about Ted Danson as Al? He has had the comedic timing in the past, and his CSI time has shown that he can play serious as well.
