5 things to watch: 'Quantum Leap' reboot takes a deeper dive into the past

'Quantum Leap'

It's been nearly 30 years since Scott Bakula's Sam Beckett got lost in space. The reboot hinges on the premise that a modern-day team, which includes Minnesota's Ernie Hudson, is determined to find him. But it's really just a chance to recycle a compelling premise that gives new lead Raymond Lee a chance to zip in and out of premises rich with tension, starting with a 1985 attempt to steal the Hope Diamond. This new version takes time travel much more seriously (the wisecracking Dean Stockwell is dearly missed), perhaps because producers are afraid to revisit the original's camp value. They should make the leap. 10 p.m. ET Monday, NBC
