In his basement in San Francisco, boy-genius Quinn Mallory unlocks the doorway to an infinite number of parallel Earths. During a test run, Quinn invites co-worker Wade Wells and his teacher Professor Maximillian Arturo to see his new invention. However, an increase in power and an early departure leave all three, plus a washed-up soul singer named Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown, lost in a parallel world. Now they must "slide" from world to world, not only adapting to their changing surroundings, but also trying to get home.

Sliders was produced by St. Clare Entertainment and filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in its first two seasons. Filming moved to Los Angeles, California, United States for the last three seasons.less «

  Most of us are already aware that FOX aired the episodes for Season 1 out of order.  (The first of many strategic decisions that would kill this show)  I think it's odd that the DVD release didn't fix this order, but I guess it doesn't really matter, except for the "Summer of Love/The Prince of Wails" ending arc that for some inexplicable reason got swapped by the network.  For newcomers to the forum, here's a quick list of the correct order for the episodes: 83535 “Pilot” 70401 “Summer of Love” 70403 “The Prince of Wails” 70402 “Fever” 70404 “Last Days” 70406 “The Weaker Sex” 70405 “Eggheads” 70408 “The King is Back” 70409 “Luck of the Draw” less «

• Maggie yeah or nay?

  Am I the only one that thought Maggie added something that Sliders needed? Yeah, I missed Wade, but she was just like the others all goody-two-shoes. Maggie added that good/evil edge that was missing from the show. Just wondering what everyone else thought.

  At the end of the pilot, Quaid sees his father and drops a glass of wine, why didn't they acknoledge this at all during Season 1? (I say season one because I know they were shown out of order). It just seems that with the shock of seeing his dead dad, instead of just Sliding out of there, he'd explain how he has to leave cause his real mom is in another world. (ok not his REAL mom). Can anyone answer it for me? There probably isn't one, but thanks.less «

  10 Perfect

  This show to this day is one of the best tv shows ever made. hide « show »

  It makes me sad that they dont make them this good anymore. This is a must buy on dvd. Its a must have for any scifi fans. Seasons 1 and 2 are the best out of the whole show. Well worth a watch. The creators did something magical with this show which has not been re-created since. Season five is the weakest of the seasons. My main reason is because there was not a proper ending as far as i am concerned. Shame on the scifi channel for canceling such a gem of a show. Heres to Tracy Tormé for creating one of the all time greats.

  I love this show! One of the best shows to this day! Their were a few charter changes during the last few seasons but I but I got over it, still I'm happy the show stuck around and that the Scifi Channel picked it up! I sill love the first four!!! I own the first and second on DVD and plan on buying the rest! The first time I saw this show was when it aired and I feel in love with it, In my free time I would think of new plots and act out story lines when I was young! This show could of thought of so many fresh and new ideas for it to continue…

  8.6 Great

  just finished season 1 hide « show »

  I remember loving this show when I was younger and it original aired. I have seen a few shows on sci-fiction channel, but I recently sat down and watched the entire first season. I now know why I liked it. Interesting plot situations, I like the cast, and well I guess that is it. I really enjoyed the first two episodes (Pilot) and the last episode in season one (Lottery). I do not remember the show getting worse as the seasons went on nor the actor changes (like I have been reading in other reviews) but I guess I will figure it out as I watch the rest of the seasons. Anyways, the idea of the show is awesome I also loved quantum leap.

  Started as a great science fiction series hide « show »

  The first two seasons was terrific. Season three started strange and ended on a weird note. ***Spoiler Alert*** When they had Arturo killed off, the show went downhill and I lost interest in it. I stopped watching it after the third season. I was disappointed that the series went from great science fiction to politically correct sub-themes and poor writing.
  
  The chemistry of the original four characters would be difficult to recreate. In my opinion, the writers failed by introducing Maggie Beckett as a main character to replace Professor Arturo. Her personality is abrasive and I tire of the sexual innuendoes between her and Quinn Mallory. My philosophy is: If it isn't broken, then don't fix it.

  9.8 Superb

  The first two seasons of Sliders was exceptional. Three and four pretty good, but what was five all about? hide « show »

  I was instantly hooked on Sliders from the very first time that I saw it. That was season 1. I went out of my way to try and watch all of the ones that I missed. I was successful. I have seen every episode of seasons 1 thru 3, and absolutely love it. I guess that I'm a little different that your average Sliders fan. Yeah, I loved Wade and Arturo. But when Maggie entered it brought a whole new need quality to the show. Wade was great, but like all the others she was all goody goody. I was sad when she was lost, but Maggie added something that was missing. The show really needed a more evil element. Her opinions always differed from the others, and that was essential to keep the show going. Good vs good was getting old after one season. I applaude the addition of Maggie. But what was season 5 all about? I saw like two episodes, and could bare it no more. It was not Sliders anymore. Quinn Malory without Jerry OConnel? Whatever! I have no desire to watch any of that season. It was a terrible end to a terific show.
