Line 21:
* Sam leaped outside his life a total of four times. Two of the leaps were explained. In "The Leap Back" Al and Sam traded places due to an accident, which allowed for leaping withing Al's life. "The Leap Between the States" revealed that Sam's great-grandfather had a very similar genetic profile and blood type. Two unexplained leaps before his life were "Play It Again, Seymour" (April 14, 1953) and "The Americanization of Machinko" (August 4, 1953), as the series finale revealed Sam's birth-date as August 8, 1953.
** However, both were after he had been conceived (which would have been at the end of 1952), so he did technically exist at that point.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: In "Jimmy," [[Reservoir Dogs|Mr.]] [[Michael Madsen|Blonde]] got his start harassing retarded dockworkers before working his way up to cutting off cops' ears.
** In "''Evil Leaper II: Return''", [[Neil Patrick Harris]] is a frat boy.
** Willie Garson appears twice in the series, so [[White Collar|Mozzie]] wrote detective novels in the 50s and shot JFK
Line 30:
** In "Mirror Image," [[Animal House|D-Day]] is the bartender who's more than he seems.
** A young [[Jennifer Aniston]] plays a hospital volunteer {{spoiler|who becomes the leapee's future wife}} in "Nowhere to Run."
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In "Memphis Melody"<ref>[[The One Where]] Sam leaps into [[Elvis]]</ref>, the female singer Sam has to help is played by a young [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]].
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: In "All Americans", Al mentions that he's watching Super Bowl XXX and that the Pittsburgh Steelers are trailing by three points. Jump head six years to the real Super Bowl XXX, where the Steelers ''were'' playing and ''did'' trail by three points until a miraculous comeback in the final minutes.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: One of the episodes Donald Bellisario was planning for ''Quantum Leap'' before it was canceled was for Sam Beckett to leap into Thomas Magnum, thus merging the ''[[Quantum Leap]]'' continuity with that of ''[[Magnum PI]]''.
