ITV3 have been re-running Quantum Leap at 6 every night. I hadn't rescanned my Digital TV since they launched ITV3 until last night (that just sums up how I feel about ITV!). One of my earliest tranny related memories has to be the episode where Sam jumped into the body of Samantha, an attractive blonde secretary, and has to deal with sexual harrassment and even some leching from Al. I've checked what episode is on tonight and found an episode guide online and that one would have been on last Wednesday! :'(

There is one next Tuesday where he jumps into the body of a mother of 3, but that's no kind of fantasy is it! Unless someone has a fetish for dressing badly and doing lots of housework. Statement Retracted

April Angell:

yeee haaa. Good to see that old fashioned stereotyped viewpoints still thrive in todays modern web world. 

Jessica:

was just a joke! 

Becky EnVérité:

I got it. :-)

Do you remember the one where he jumped into the body of a beauty queen? Ahh... memories. :) 

Jessica:

no! have you got that too? can I borrow? :) can you remember what its called? it might be on soon 

Jessica:

by my calculations it's on Feb 21st! Miss Deep South. I think I remember it, he turns up at the hotel near the start walking like a man. 

April Angell:

Maybe I'm being over sensitive. Still Quantum Leap is great, even though its really of its time. But because of that it can be excused its views, including the two stereotypes you illustrated in your post.

A more interesting episode would be where Sam jumps into the body of a transvestite. Did that ever happen? Probably too much of a headfuck for those days...
