NBC is still planning on going ahead with new episodes of 1980s updates Quantum Leap and Magnum P.I. on Wednesdays beginning October 4, but today (per Deadline) a change was announced: Originally, the night was going to kick off with “One Chicago” series encores followed by Quantum Leap and Magnum. Now, that’s switched around a bit, with QL at 8, Magnum at 9, and One Chicago repeats at 10.
It might sound confusing, but hey, it’s new content and new episodes of some fan-favorite shows, which is never a bad thing. Sadly, Magnum will be saying “aloha” after Season 5B, but we can hope that once this strike is over, we’ll get more Quantum Leap so Dr. Ben Song can return to the place and the people he calls home.
We’re only a few weeks away and of course, KSiteTV will be on hand with as many episode previews as possible.
