Almost 200 posts and no one has mentioned Quantum Leap?

Amazing. The most pretentious show ever. Correcting past mistakes? By whose opinion were they mistakes?

Good one.

Now how about the new Doctor Who?

I'll bypass whether Quantum Leap was pretentious, and just deal with this:

Correcting past mistakes? By whose opinion were they mistakes?

Um...since in almost every episode the person's original choice led to them or someone close to them suffering a horrible tragedy, I'd say they qualify as mistakes to fix. For example, in one episode the guy he leaps into has to save a woman from a car crash that kills her. In another he's trying to prevent the guy's sister from marrying a dude who will beat her for the rest of her life. It's not like he leaps into people to prevent them from voting for Reagan in '80 or something.

Oh, man, is that ever right!

Pretty much anything with Scott Bakula in it can be counted on to be whiny and pretentious.
