Indeed Sam goes from one era to another by entering the shoes of a contemporary.

Code Quantum (Quantum Leap) is an American television series broadcast between 1989 and 1993. It stages the main character, Sam Beckett, a physicist who finds himself propelled in time through his own past. He is accompanied by a hologram of his friend and colleague, Al, who helps him understand the situation in which he finds himself and accomplishing the "mission" entrusted to him in each episode.

The series follows the adventures of Sam as it jumps from one era to another, finding itself in different situations each time. He can be a soldier during the Second World War, a US Air Force pilot during the Cold War, an infantry soldier during the Vietnam War, or a private detective in the 1950s. In each episode, Sam Must solve a problem or help someone overcome an obstacle, while trying to find a way to return in your own time.

Sam's main objective is to repair the errors of the past in order to put things in order and return to his own time. However, he has to face many obstacles, including antagonistic characters who seek to prevent him from succeeding in his mission. Sam must also deal with the consequences of his actions in the past, which can have repercussions on his present and his future.

Despite the difficulties, Sam continues to jump over time, helped by Al and by the voice of a mysterious woman named Ziggy, who provides her information on the missions to be accomplished. Over the series, Sam and Al discover that their time jump experience has consequences on their personal life and the universe as a whole. The series ends with an open note, leaving Sam in uncertainty as to his fate and that of his relatives.

When Elvis returns behind the scenes, we hear a saxophone in the background. We then hear the presenter saying "It was the young Billy C., coming from Hope in Arkansas!". A young boy arrives then, wearing a saxophone. This boy was intended to be a future president of the United States, Bill C. was actually Bill Clinton (who really played saxophone).

Anachronisms.

In addition, the person that Sam embodies is a stuntman on the set of "earthquake", which was released only 2 years later.
