The Totally Amateur, Completely Unauthorized, Unabashedly

posting has to say:
Article: 24084 of rec.arts.sf.tv
From: richard655@aol.com (Richard655)
Subject: QL Episode Guide
Date: 2 Apr 1994 16:49:03 -0500
A friend and I are putting together a QL episode Guide.
It consists of ten segments, each bound seperately. The first covers the first
season, the next eight cover seasons two - five broken into two parts each.
The tenth will have in-depth crew listings, episodes listed by various
formats, threads found running throughout the series and more.
Each episode has an eight page (more or less) synopisis, cast listing, air and
leap date, who Sam leaps into, and other vital information such as what Al is
wearing, good lines, and whether or not there is a kissing scene. <g>
The Guide is called - "The Totally Amateur, Completely Unauthorized.
Unabashedly Hormonally-driven, Ultimate Fan Guide to Quantum Leap."
Each section costs $12.00. If interested, send $2.00 for a sample episode to
