This was a series that I enjoyed, with the cast being thrown into histories that were spines very different than THEIRS and had to adapt them for survival. I wouldn't call it a great series in the genre, but was worth the time and the better quality of the discs versus the TV experience.

This is the first two seasons that was on commercial television before is went to Sci-Fi Channel. This is a great series to watch. If you haven't seen it, it is worth the time. If you have seen if, it is worth seeing again. The episodes move quickly and if you missed one you won't be lost with the overall story line. The later seasons have story lines that you must watch each week to follow. These early shows can be watched in almost any order and still be easy to understand. It is best to watch the first episode first in order to lay the groundwork and understand the players and the interactions between them. Even though this series has been off the air for years, the effects and the storylines are still great.

This 1995 scfi series aired originally on Fox. I enjoyed the few episodes I picked up on during the first run, and so I can truly appreciate this boxed set. Seasons 1 & 2 come boxed together and appear to be floating inside a cleverly design casing. The first 3 discs had me going, with alternate realities where the US had lost the Korean War, The Revolutionary war never happened, etc. Each episode expanded upon logic of what alternate earths could possibly be like. Very, very enjoyable I'm not finished with it yet, but I'm hoping for one hell of a Season 2 Finale.
Sliders is an absolute blast. The show revolves around character Quinn Mallory played by Jerry O'Connell a high school genius who invents a gadget that opens up portals to other dimentional earth's.Quinn and his companions are stuck between an infinate number of alternate realities of earth and "slide" from one earth to another trying to find a way back home .Many of the episodes really make you think of how life on our planet could have easily been much different. This show is no star trek but you could say in some sence that it's the sg-1 for teenagers. Even so can be enjoyed by most adults as well. I myself am a huge fan of sci-fi from shows like star trek,sg-1,farscape and babylon 5 and still say that sliders is an awsome and fun show.
What a cool premise for a show, and with a brilliant bunch of writers this idea could go on and on...(Well for 5 seasons anyway). The first two seasons of this show are some of the best episodes of the series in my opinion. The original cast of four worked brilliantly together and their personalities added to the dynamic of the episodes. It is quite interesting to actually think about what the world could be like under different conditions. In one episode antibiotics had never been discovered and people were dying from a simple illness. In another episode the US is still under British rule, and another where San Francisco is a wildlife preserve for...Dinosaurs. Some pretty cool ideas and concepts. I never missed an episode of this show when it first aired on Fox in 1995. The boxset does a nice job visually displaying the discs, they seem to float in air inside the box. I was disappointed that there was not a better episode guide and liner notes. The discs are also a little skimpy on extras (audio commentary on one disc and a photo gallery). Overall a must have for that sci-fi fan.Read full review

I always thought they did a great job with the first two seasons. I think things went south (as many suggest) when they killed off the Professor. I think it became less tenable (did I spell that right) when they introduced Quinns brother as well. Season 1 and 2 I think is worth the look into ownership of Sliders if you never saw the series. Or go to Hulu, its likely on there, and see if you want to own the entire series.
Nice show the whole family will like
