Summary: Sliders...Great for the Family
Review: This series was a birthday gift for my son. I had never watched it prior to this purchase. We sat down as a family, all six of us, and found this series to be better than compelling. As we are huge fans of both "24" and "Alias", we found "Sliders" to be suspenseful, exciting and a fantastic series with plenty of entertainment for everyone!!!!!

Summary: Bad, Cheap Sci-Fi with a "Black Helper" thrown in..
Review: What starts off as a good idea for a show quickly degenerated into a silly waste of time due to a low budget, unimaginative scripts and mediocre actors.
The main plot involves a young scientist who discovers a means to travel to other dimensions and then manages to get lost in one of them along with his "girl friend" and a fellow scientist (played by John Ryes Davies).
Of course, due to a miniscule budget, none of the other worlds are terribly interesting. I kept asking myself "why no world with no land masses or still in a molten state, or any world that would be instantly fatal?" That was never explained.
What's worse is the inclusion of the "Black Helper" - the stock minority character thrown in for comic relief/plot exposition purposes. The general rule for them is followed closely here: if there are a bunch of scientists trapped on an island, the black helper will be the janitor or some other no-nothing. In Sliders, the black helper is a singer (sweeps up or sings) who gets accidentally swept up in a slide and "Lordy-Lordy, whats we gonna dos?" is his response to most situations.
Watching old Doctor Who episodes would be a better use of your time than looking at this show.

Summary: Best Tv Series Ever-We need closure by brining Quin back!
Review: When Sliders first came Tracy Torme and Mr. Weiss probably created soem of the best tv ever developed for sci-fi action and adventure. Sliders became the best show, especially when the cast was stil the original four, like in seasons one and two. Once they killed of the professor and released Wade Wells off the show, the quality and excitement soon dicipated. But definately get seasons one and two on dvd. Its the most rockin' show ever, if you're interested in that type of imaginative sci-fi genre.

Summary: I wish more technical info was mentioned... However,
Review: you can bet I'll be pre-ordering regardless! My VHS off-air tapes have gone the way of all things that dare battle the second law of thermodynamics, otherwise known as that evil force called "entropy"... The fact this set costs more than mindless 80s rubbish like A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard, and Knight Rider rather suggests they're actually going to put out some decent quality discs. And, as a customer who cares about product quality, I'm ecstatic. I will happily spend more to get the best looking sound and video, especially for a series that outright DESERVES such quality. Of course, it's silly to rant about something I haven't seen, so I'll give my two cents on the series' seasons encompassed in this upcoming release: 22 episodes of the best Sliders eps ever made, and they're all in one set. Combining seasons 1 and 2 to one set was a brilliant move on Universal's part, though season 1 being just 9 episodes with season 2 having 13... The first two years of Sliders were as creator Tracy Torme had envisioned the show to be. Fun, dramatic, exciting, and a unique way of creating social commentary by creating a society loosely-based on historical events that took a different turn. Using a theory surrounding parallel universes, the main characters went to parallel worlds where history had taken a different course. As a result, they'd end up in seemingly bizarre situations and, indeed, get confused when they arrived in a dimension that seemed very nearly identical to their own (albeit with minor differences, posing the question "Would they know if they made it back home?) Epsiodes to look out for are "Pilot", "Fever", "Last Days", "Eggheads", "The King is Back", "Luck of the Draw" (easily the best from season 1 though "Pilot" was pretty well rounded as well), and most of season 2 (barring "Obsession") though BIG KUDOS have to be mentioned for episodes "Invasion" and "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome" which are not just great Sliders episodes, they outright change the face of the sci-fi genre. They are NOT to be missed!! I wish Rembrandt had been given consistently good treatment throughout the series' run. He was envisioned as being the "common guy" of the group; how any of us might act if put into that situation, and I saw what they were trying to do. But others denounced the show as being racist because Remmy just happened to be black. I disagree with their assertion... But some writers did treat Rembrandt unfairly, giving him the slapstick comedy while everybody else did the brainy stuff. It depends on the episode, some treated Rembrandt as if he had intelligence too, fortunately! Oh. FOX's season 3 of the show was 99.8% crap with only "Double Cross" being watchable (the series became a "Let's rip off a popular movie every week" joke), and the Sci-fi channel's production team changed the premise and humanized the Kromaggs by making them into a generic military army... yuck, it wasn't worth the $50/month just to get sci-fi channel to watch that drivel, though "Virtual Slide" was great and "Slidecage" was surprisingly good, despite the change of series' premise by that point... "Just Say Yes" was another good episode as well...
