- The Twilight Zone - Season 3, Episode 15 (1961) Speaking of great sci-fi TV shows, decades before Quantum Leap, Dean Stockwell got to see what time travel via body swapping was like while appearing on creator and narrator Rod Serling’s highly influential anthology series that ran on CBS from 1959 to 1964.
