Original run September 26, 2001 – May 13, 2005
Star Trek: Enterprise (titled Enterprise prior to season three) is a science fiction television program set in the Star Trek universe which was created by Gene Roddenberry.
The series, which follows the adventures of the pre-Federation Enterprise, premiered on September 26, 2001. Enterprise's pilot episode, "Broken Bow", takes place in 2151: 10 years before the Federation's founding, about halfway between the 21st century events shown in the movie Star Trek: First Contact and the original Star Trek.
Because of low ratings, UPN cancelled Enterprise on February 2, 2005, but allowed the series to complete its fourth season; the final episode aired on May 13, 2005. After a run of four seasons and 98 episodes, it was the first Star Trek series since the original Star Trek to have been canceled by its network rather than finished by its producers.

Plot summary for
"Enterprise"
Broken Bow: Part 1 (2001)
2151. Starfleet has constructed its first vessel that is capable of exploring the universe and the launch of Enterprise is imminent. Then two alien races land in a cornfield near Broken Bow, Oklahoma. A Klingon is being chased by two yellow-skinned creatures. The Klingon gets rid of the two, but not of a farmer, who shoots him with a plasma rifle. Back at Starfleet headquarters the Vulcans, who have been advising and restraining the human race since Dr. Zefram Cochrane invented the plasma engine almost 100 years ago, announce that they will take the Klingon, Klaang, back to his home world Kronos. They urge the humans to postpone the launch of Enterprise. But for the first time Starfleet will not listen to the Vulcans and the decision is made to let Enterprise bring back Klaang. Barely underway Enterprise' systems fail and the ship is entered by the yellow-skinned aliens. Written by Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)
This is the exact route from Ashdown, AR, I remember driving to my visit my grandparents in Antlers, OK, which is where I was born, in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory. The town of Broken Bow, Oklahoma, is at the mid-point of that route between Antlers and Ashdown. I thought a lot about that when that episode premiered in 2001. I was in Charlotte, North Carolina, after Microsoft sent me out there on a plane from Seattle.

Quantum Leap is an American science fiction television series that ran for 95 episodes from March 1989 to May 1993 on the NBC network. Each episode of the series begins with a spoken introduction which explains the series' premise:
Theorizing that one could time-travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett led an elite group of scientists into the desert, to develop a top-secret project known as Quantum Leap. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Dr. Beckett prematurely stepped into the project accelerator, and vanished...
He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear. And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next Leap...will be the Leap home...

Originally shown on Easter Sunday, 1989, the pilot was a two-hour movie simply known as Quantum Leap. When the show returned for new episodes in September of that year, however, NBC aired a severely edited (90-minute) version of the pilot called "Genesis."
Original airdate 1989-03-26
A man wakes up in a bed, thinking, "I did it!" His next thought is, "Did what?" His name is Tom Stratton. It's 1956. He works for the Air Force flying planes, and he's got a beautiful wife and a nice son. There's just one problem: he's pretty sure that his name's not Tom Stratton, it's Sam. But he can't even remember his last name. In fact, he's also pretty sure that the year shouldn't be 1956. And worst of all, he's never flown a plane in his life. (OK, make that more than one problem.)
Help (such as it is) comes along in the form of a man named Al. There's just one problem with Al: he's not really there. He's just a hologram. And holograms didn't exist back in 1956. And Al has the tendency to walk through invisible doors. Sam -- whoever he is -- is having a very bad day.
Eventually, Al explains to Sam that he's a part of a time-travel experiment from the future. He "leaped" into the past, but somehow wound up as Tom Stratton. But Tom Stratton died when attempting to fly the Mach-2...which, for Sam, is coming up in just a couple of days. If Sam can survive that, he'll change history, Al says, and hopefully "leap" again.
However, the leap doesn't take Sam home, as he hopes. Instead, he winds up as a minor-league baseball player back in 1968, trying to win his last game for his team.
Sam is really fed up with Al, and wants to know whose hairbrain idea this whole project was in the first place. Al tells him: it's Sam himself. Project Quantum Leap was his idea. "If anyone can figure out how to get you home," Al tells Sam, "it's you."
