Question How did the characters of Sam and Al meet?
Answer There is an episode where Sam and Al are talking, and Sam reminisces about the first time he saw Al. They were in a cafeteria in some government complex (both were working in some aspect of the government), and Al was drunk and fighting with a candy machine that took his money. Al was on the way out because of his alcoholism, but Sam convinced his superiors to put Al on Sam's Starbright project (which predated Project Quantum Leap, and where Sam and Donna also got together). Al cleaned up his act, and the rest is history.
