- Sam and Al are linked via their mesons and neurons, which are physical entities. If Sam does not leap physically then this would be lost.
- Sam knows 11 languages - seven modern and four dead. Oh, and he reads hieroglyphics too.
- The fact that certain individuals, including himself can see Sam indicates that there is something behind the aura for them to see.
- When a leapee returns they return with a Swiss cheese like memory recalling some of Sam's memories.
- A lot of leapee's think that they have been abducted by aliens.
- Children and animals can sometimes see Al because they are in a natural alpha state.
- Sam's lifetime is determined by his perception and not by actual time.
- Sam has leaped outside the US a total of seven times. He's been to Vietnam, The Bermuda Triangle, Egypt, Japan, The USSR, The Aegean Sea and The U.K.
- For Sam gaps are instantaneous but at PQL it has been said that there have been gaps in time as long as six days.
- Al initially would see the leapee until Sam leaped into a gorgeous woman prompting him to tell Gooshie to reconfigure the IC so that he would see only Sam.
- Ziggy is hooked up to every major data base in the 90's, that is how he is able to access so much information.
- Gooshie is Ziggy's programmer, a short guy with bad breath.
- Ziggy was originally a male and then Bellisario decided to make her a her. Bellisario rationalized this by calling it PCR-Post Creative Rationalization.
- Quantum Leap is also a comic book based on the series.
- Al used to have pet cockroach named Kevin.
- One Halloween episode is related to strange events such as VCR/cable/local station failure. (it's bad luck to name this episode) After one leaper referred to it by its title, he lost his job.
- Scott Bakula played Annie Pott's ex-husband in "Designing Women."
- Scott Bakula was nominated for a Tony in 1998 for his work on "Romance, Romance."
- QL ran for a total of 95 episodes.
