    I was watching season 2 episode 12 of Quantum Leap and I heard the this exchange : Programmer : I am trying to make this code work. Boss : Just type it in and press enter. I burst out laughing. How many of you have had that boss?

            So that's why they call it "spaghetti code"! :laugh:

              If only he hadn't got stuck in the 22nd Century[^] for so long trying to fix that theme tune. :-D

                Sounds like Captain Stillman in "Stripes". "Coordinates? Just fire that weapon, soldier." (I liked Quantum Leap.)

                  I have seen something similar with an umbrella upside down.

                      How *does* Quantum Leap hold up? I know it's a bit of a cult classic (and that some people would take offense at merely calling it a "bit"), but I've never watched it...and wondering if it's still worth a watch in 2024... I was still a kid/preteen in the 80s, and have long concluded some shows--no matter how big a hit they were back then--have aged gracefully...others...not so much.

                        When I binged it all a few years back some seemed to be missing.
