Fans of Quantum Leap know that Dr. Sam Beckett could leap into almost any situation. What many viewers don’t realise is that the Season 1 DVD set also contains three hidden Easter eggs featuring exclusive interviews with the show’s stars.
All three secrets are hidden on Disc 1 and are easy to find once you know where to look.
Easter Egg #1 – Hidden Scott Bakula Interview
From the main menu:
- Select Episode Index.
- Highlight Menu.
- Press the Right button on your DVD remote.
- A small figure of Sam leaping will appear.
- Press Enter.
This unlocks a 44-second interview with Scott Bakula.
Easter Egg #2 – Another Scott Bakula Interview
- Go to Bonus Materials.
- Highlight A Kiss with History.
- Press the Right button on your remote.
- When the leaping Sam icon appears, press Enter.
You’ll unlock a second hidden feature: a 39-second interview with Scott Bakula.
Easter Egg #3 – Hidden Dean Stockwell Interview
- Open the Languages menu.

This reveals a 44-second interview with Dean Stockwell, who played Al Calavicci throughout the series.
Why These Easter Eggs Are Worth Finding
These hidden interviews are short, but they’re a fun extra for longtime Quantum Leap fans and exactly the kind of hidden content that made DVD collecting so rewarding. They’re also easy to miss because nothing on the menus suggests they’re there.
If you’ve owned this DVD set for years, there’s a good chance you’ve never seen these secret clips.
