What do you think of these shows?

It was sci-fi, plain and simple. It was also pretty good. The others I never watched.

I've once met someone who watched it, that's about it...

I have not heard of the other two, but I enjoyed most of Quantum leap, and I've watched at least a dozen episodes of touched by an angel. I thought it was too pushy, although I liked the cast. I like Highway to Heaven WAAAY better.
But Quantumn leap yea, some of my favorite Sci-fi TV moments. The Dawning realzation of his little sister when he sings Imagine to her, meaning her older brother is about to go to war and die....(oh...spoiler! lol.) Really, it makes grown men cry.

This is a game, right? Like SnakeOil eluded to, why is Quantum Leap on this list? Must be one of those Seseme Street "One of these things (is not like the other)" skits.
I've never watched any of them. Never heard of 2 and 4. I went from All in the Family and MASH to Cheers with a little Three's Company[i] thrown in; I'll also admit to watching a few episodes of [i]BJ and the Bear. Truth be told, unless it was sports, TV became an afterthought when I realized girls were no longer icky (circa 1983). Not much has changed; other than my best girl turning me on to a show every now and then. The cool thing is that I found a woman that breathes fire for baseball, football and hockey (she still has a problem with my passion for association football). Not germane to the conversation, but it crossed my mind. In the summer -of 2004 we moved to Atlanta. We previously had Dish Network, which we had until late August (moved in June). One day I pulled into the drive noticing two satellite dishes. I was soon told that we had to switch since she couldn't get the NFL Sunday Ticket unless we switched. I accepted my new condition without protest. Sorry, I digress.[/i][/i]  
Quantum leap was promising but ended up just the same shit every week. There was an interesting development later in the series with the anti-leaper which never went anywhere.
This suffered from the same problem as every other American series of the time suffered, which was a desire to make the same episode every week so contrived to put the protangonist in the similar situations ad nauseum.
