This page is a record of all the times and places that Dr. Sam Beckett has been to in his five seasons of televised time-travel adventures on Quantum Leap.   It’s now complete for the TV series, though I hope to be adding to it from the spin-off comic book at some point in the future.

What’s the closest that you’ve ever come to running into Sam Beckett on his adventures?  For me, it would probably be October 1979 or April 1985, when he was in New York City. I would have been maybe an hour’s drive away, and if I happened to come into the city at the same time he was there, I would have been even closer.
