How well do you know the TV series Quantum Leap?

The TV series Quantum Leap aired from March 1989 through May 1993. It was the story of a scientist named Sam Beckett who builds a machine that can send him back (and forwards, although they never did) in time. Sam’s body did not travel. He switched bodies with someone at the destination point.

Although the network tried to get them to downplay the religion angle, the show made it clear that it was not Sam or his machine that was controlling his leaps, but God using Sam to help put things right.
