Quantum Leap

Quantum Leap is an American television series that was broadcast on NBC from March 26, 1989 to May 5, 1993, for a total of five seasons. The series was created by Donald P. Bellisario, and starred Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett, a quantum physicist from the near future who becomes lost in time following a time travel experiment, temporarily taking the places of other people to "put right what once went wrong". Dean Stockwell co-starred as Al Calavicci, Sam's womanizing, cigar-smoking sidekick and best friend, who appeared as a hologram that only Sam, animals, young children, and the mentally ill could see and hear. The series featured a mix of humor, drama and melodrama, social commentary, nostalgia, and science fiction, which won it a broad range of fans. One of its trademarks is that at the end of each episode, Sam "leaps" into the setting for the next episode, usually uttering a dismayed "Oh, boy!"

Despite struggling on Friday nights in its brief first season, the show was renewed by NBC because of its impressive 18-49 demographics. The series was moved to Wednesdays where it performed well in comparison to other fan-favorite series Wiseguy and China Beach. It was moved twice away from Wednesdays to Fridays in late 1990 and to Tuesdays in late 1992 where it also performed well. The series finale aired in its successful Wednesday slot in May 1993.

In 2004 and 2007, Quantum Leap was ranked #15 and #19 on TV Guide's "Top Cult Shows Ever".

Selain itu pula sifat jelek Pak Raden adalah cepat naik darah alias pemarah.

Pak OgahIa dikenal sebagai seorang tunakarya yang kepalanya gundul dan kerjanya sehari-hari adalah duduk di pos ronda dan meminta uang dari orang-orang yang lewat.Dua kalimat Pak Ogah yang paling terkenal adalah, "Ogah, aah" dan "Cepek dulu dong." Ogah adalah bahasa sehari-hari untuk mengatakan "tidak", biasanya karena kemalasan. Misalnya apabila seseorang diajak temannya untuk pergi ke suatu tempat, tapi ia ingin tinggal di rumah, ia dapat berkata, "Ogah, aah." Perlu diperhatikan bahwa kata "ogah" ini memiliki konotasi kurang sopan bila digunakan kepada orang yang lebih tua atau lebih tinggi status sosialnya."Cepek" sebenarnya berarti seratus, diserap dari dialek Hokkian dan dalam hal ini adalah satu keping uang logam seratus Rupiah. 

Pak Ogah dalam film seri biasanya hanya mengijinkan orang lewat di depan pos rondanya bila mereka memberinya seratus rupiah atau cepek terlebih dahulu.Karena ketenaran seri Si Unyil, kata Pak Ogah kemudian memasuki wahana populer dan menjadi istilah umum untuk menyebut semua tunakarya yang lebih senang bermalas-malasan atau melakukan pekerjaan ringan. 

Misalnya di perempatan jalan yang sibuk, sering kali karena satu alasan atau yang lain tidak ada petugas polisi yang mengatur lalu-lintas, seseorang yang bukan petugas polisi namun kemudian mengatur arus kendaraan dan meminta uang sebagai imbalan sering disebut "Pak Ogah".Tokoh-tokoh lain

Police Story

Police Story is an anthology television crime drama that aired on NBC from 1973 through 1978. The show was the brainchild of author and former policeman Joseph Wambaugh and represented a major step forward in the realistic depiction of police work and violence on network TV. It was produced by David Gerber and Mel Swope.

Although it was an anthology, there were certain things that all episodes had in common; for instance, the main character in each episode was a police officer. The setting was always Los Angeles and the characters always worked for some branch of the LAPD. Notwithstanding the anthology format, there were recurring characters. Scott Brady appeared in more than a dozen episodes as "Vinnie," a former cop who, upon retirement, had opened a bar catering to police officers, and who acted as a sort of Greek chorus during the run of the series, commenting on the characters and plots. Tony Lo Bianco and Don Meredith made several appearances as Robbery-Homicide Division partners Tony Calabrese and Bert Jameson. Other recurring characters included surveillance specialist Joe LaFrieda, played by Vic Morrow, and vice officer turned homicide detective Charlie Czonka, played by James Farentino. Chuck Connors also starred in various episodes.

The anthology format allowed the show to try out characters and settings for series development, and, during its broadcast run, Police Story generated three spin-offs. A first-season episode, "The Gamble," starring Angie Dickinson, became the pilot for the successful Police Woman series, which ran from 1974-1978. "The Return of Joe Forrester," a second-season episode starring Lloyd Bridges, was developed into the weekly series Joe Forrester. Finally, "A Chance to Live," a special episode from the fifth season starring David Cassidy, was spun off into the series Man Undercover. That series didn't do as well, and lasted only ten episodes.

In later seasons, perhaps because of the expense of maintaining the anthology format on a weekly basis, Police Story became a series of irregularly scheduled TV movies.

Police Story was a precursor to later shows such as NBC's Hill Street Blues (1981-1987), Law & Order (1990-2010), ABC's NYPD Blue and NBC's Homicide: Life on the Street (both latters started in 1993).
