Synopsis
A science-fiction programme with a unique and malleable conceit, Sliders was among the most popular shows of its genre during the 1990s. Quinn Mallory (Jerry O'Connell) is a twentysomething genius who has invented a device that allows him to travel through dimensions. He invites his friend Wade (Sabrina Lloyd) and Professor Maximillian Arturo (John Rhys-Davies) to witness his first operation of the device, which goes horribly wrong. Now, along with former soul singer Rembrandt Brown (Cleavant Derricks), the group find themselves hurtling through alternate dimensions, solving problems and encountering difficulties on a series of parallel Earths.

I'm nearly at the end of this box set and am still thoroughly enjoying it, even though some of the stories are extremely far-fetched. I didn't get to see all the episoded when they were on TV so am grateful to the invention of DVD and Universal Playback.
In response to the reviewer below - the title listing in the DVD case is all wrong and Exodus Part 2 IS on the DVD, on disk 4 you need to click on "Next" at the bottom of the episode selection screen (each screen only shows 4 episodes). I'm glad I found it as I want to see part 2, even though the outcome has been spoiled by a previous reviewer.

A once great show goes to another dimension of badness. It's not awful, but it's not what it used to be. The Professor is a wonderful character, far more entertaining than the frankly one-dimensional Maggie. While the reasons for his replacement are obvious - overweight, intelligent middle-aged man changed for a gun toting Lara Croft wannabe - the effects are exactly what you'd expect. What's worse is the lack of intelligent thought put into the new worlds. Where we once had social commentary and scientific debate, we get magicians, dragons, aliens, dinosaurs (again) and, possibly most unbelievably of all, vampires. They also manage to rip off Day of the Triffids, The Island of Dr Moreau and even the Time Machine. It still has some great moments and times when you can see the old magic but they are few and far between.
As for the quality of the DVD boxset itself, the episodes are listed wrong again (one isn't even on the list) and there are times when they are in obviously the wrong order (again). No special features, interviews or commentaries. Watch 1&2, ignore later seasons, and enjoy a great show.

sliders is a classic tv show and the dvds are well worth investing in - although the episodes are in a funny order!!! to watch exodus part 2 you need to use the play all feature and go right to the end of exodus 1 the end credits play then out of nowhere we hear a "last week on sliders" and exodus part 2 begins to play.
its annoying but at least its there

Late
I love the product but the seller sent the wrong one first time round and it took much longer than advertised. They did correct it very quickly though.

Was great to catch up on Series 3. Lovely twist on the original series, with further variables being added to the Plot.

No Subtitles
Sliders Season 1 and 2 boxset was subtitled but Sliders Season 3 has no subtitles at all.
If you need subtitles in order to follow the dialogue, this boxset has none. Read more
