When did the TV show 'Quantum Leap' get canceled?

Dr. Sam Beckett is himself in the final episode on the very day he was born. He is in a bar in Pennsylvania where he sees a bunch of guys who all look like somebody he had met during his leaps. The bartender is named Al just like the hologram and possibly is the one who had been leaping him around. He knew everything Sam was thinking without him even saying what was on his mind. Al in the future is unable to track down where Sam is after discovering no one was in the waiting room. Sam tells Al the bartender about the time Al the hologram wanted him to stop his first wife from getting remarried and he refused to because it was against the rules to change history for personal reasons. The bartender tells Sam he can come home anytime he wants to- but he should continue doing the responsibilities he has been given ever since he started leaping through time. Sam is given a choice and chooses to go to when Al's first wife was missing him during the time he was at a POW camp in Vietnam. He tells her he is alive and coming home- the last leap has the screen go black and shows three messages saying what happened as a result. The first one says she never remarried. The second one says she and Al have four daughters and will have been married for 39 years. The third one says Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home. Sad music is played showing a picture of Sam and Al standing by eachother.

Who of the Golden Girls was oldest in real life?

They played characters that were very close but the actresses were not as close. Bea had animosity for Betty because she felt Betty wasn't a true actress since she came from TV, & game shows to be specific. Plus Betty was very outgoing and flirty while Bea was very serious. Betty however said on a talk show that she "adored Bea".

Bea also wasn't close with Rue. Rue once said in an interview Bea was "a very eccentric woman". Bea wouldn't go to lunch with Rue unless Betty accompanied them.

Not a lot has evidently been said about Betty, Rue & Bea's relationship with Estelle, other than Rue's comments about helping with her stage fright.

Of the four ladies though, Rue & Betty had the closest friendship.
