If you have the time check out Nightmare Cafe. Show came out in 91 and as a kid I loved it but it only lasted 6 episodes. About a man and a woman who die and find themselves in an all night cafe run by a guy named Blackie played by Robert Englund and people who recently died or are around death go there for a possible second chance. All 6 episodes are on YouTube. Show always has had a special place for me for some reason. Check it out if you have time

Never thought of that but a bit. Speaking of the Quantum Leap series finale, did you think that bartender was God too?
only saw it once, but it's possible. certainly there were overtones in that direction, or towards it being st peter/some other psychopomp...
Not the original commenter, but I don't. He actually tells Sam "God bless..." as Sam leaps out. It's my belief that the bartender is intended to be either one of the higher angels or one of the archangels.
Could be. I’ve always wondered about that episode. The guy who plays the bartender is also in the very first episode
There's two explanations for that episode. 1) God sends a messenger to Sam, who is in a non-time non-place (there are purposeful anachronisms in the entire episode) used to get Stawpah to "move on" and Sam to help Al, or 2) Sam somehow doesn't leap and he is actually going crazy, which is implied by Al, because he's literally at the moment of his birth in a place that can't be identified.
I’ve been waiting years for someone to breakdown that episode with me. I missed the God bless part so when I first saw it and the bartender knew all about his leaping I immediately assumed God, but an archangel makes sense. Considering he is in the first episode that adds credence. I still don’t like that he never went home but as a good friend he saved Al’s marriage
