Amazon.co.uk Review

Though often and unfairly dismissed as a Quantum Leap clone, the Fox TV series Sliders earned a substantial fan base thanks to its intriguing central premise--the existence of multiple alternate realities--and impressive special effects, both of which get a fine showcase in this six-disc DVD set. Jerry O'Connell leads the appealing cast as a college student who accidentally discovers a portal into alternate dimensions; with the help of his professor (Lord of the Rings' John Rhys-Davies), a spunky Girl Friday (Sabrina Lloyd), and a soul crooner (Cleavant Derricks), O'Connell encounters a host of strange parallel Earths, including a British-ruled United States and one where dinosaurs roam a national park. All nine episodes of the 1995 debut season and the 12-episode second season from '96, as well as the pilot from '95, are included in the aesthetically impressive set; extras, however, are limited to commentary by creators Tracy Torme and Robert K. Weiss on the pilot episode, and a making-of featurette with O'Connell and Derricks. --Paul Gaita


Synopsis

Sliders, a smart, mid-1990s sci-fi series follows a group of acquaintances who become thrown from one alternate dimension to another because of a malfunctioning invention. San Franciscan Quinn Mallory (Jerry O'Connell) has devoted his life to physics, and works on his own experiments when not studying for his university courses. His latest invention works on the concept of a wormhole, intended to transport a person between dimensions. When he invites his professor and a friend to witness a demonstration, everything goes awry, and the wormhole pulls in Quinn, his friend Wade (Sabrina Lloyd), Professor Maximillian Arturo (The Lord of the Rings' John Rhys-Davies), and an innocent bystander, washed-up singer Rembrandt 'Crying Man' Brown (Cleavant Derricks). As the group struggles to find a way home, they find themselves in various incarnations of San Francisco still the same city, but with completely different people and political and cultural situations. The ensuing mix of adventure, time travel, and alien encounters brings together the best aspects of the sci-fi genre and makes for a fast-paced, involving series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Show, Poor DVD Release, 4 May 2005
By A Customer
Sliders was a great sci-fi show, with a group of four people becoming lost in parallel worlds, where certain things may be different, whether it is culturally, technologically or just plain science fictional, Sliders had it all, and it was great in it's early seasons.
Here we have seasons 1 and 2. The first season contains the feature lengthed Pilot, plus 8 more episodes, and the second seasons contains 13 episodes.
First things first, the episode order is wrong. The Fox Network, in all their wisdom, decided to air the episodes in the USA beginning with those that they liked and leaving the supposidly "bad" episodes until last. This episode order unfortunately remained with the two seasons as it was aired in other countries. Surely the DVD release could have corrected this error?
Example: 'The Prince of Wails' and 'Summer of Love' should have been placed the other way round, since SOL ends with the sliders about be engulfed in a tidal wave, and TPOW begins with the gang wearing the same clothes as in SOL and in a tight spot above a submerged San Francisco.
Another issue is that the episodes remain cut. Every episode has at least one deleted scene, but have they been re-inserted here.....? No.
Extras are a bit thin on the ground too, with only a commentary for the Pilot and a 14 minute 'Making of' featurette with interviews with Jerry O'Connel, Cleavant Derricks, Tracy Torme and Robert K. Weisse.
Overall, I would recommend buying this set, since Sliders hasn't been released in any other format.
Here's hoping that the Season 3 set will be more worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Last..., 12 Nov 2004
By A Customer
Recently released in the USA, I was hoping that this box set of Sliders first and second seasons would finally reach our shores. Having not even been released on video, any kind of a release looked uncertain, since the final two seasons, four and five, kind of lost the plot a bit, leaving the show cancelled and subsequently unfinished as opposed to most other tv series. This set contains season one, which includes the feature lengthed pilot plus 8 more episodes, and season two, which contains a total of 13 episodes. Personal favorites include the opening movie, in which college student Quinn Mallory and his friends, Wade Welles, Professor Arturo and Rembrandt (Remmy) Brown, first become lost in alternate dimensions trying to find their way back home. Also, there is Last Days, in which an asteroid threatens to destroy a world, Luck of the Draw, in which Wade takes place in a less than conventional lottery, Gillian of the Spirits, in which a bizarre accident leaves Quinn on another plain of existence, Time and Again World, in which Wade unfolds a government conspiracy on a world without rights, Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome, in which Remmy recalls a slide where they thought they had made it home, and As Time Goes By, in which Quinn finds an old girlfriend in three different worlds. Even the weaker episodes are worth watching, just to see how things have been concieved, plus the theme tune to season two is quite cool. I can only hope that a decision is made to release season three aswell, as that is the last of the good sliders, which also has the best version of the opening theme tune. Seasons four and five have some good episodes, however a large turnover in the cast and an overcomplicated plot ruin the simplicity of the first three seasons, where the only goal is to get home. Still, I'm very happy that these two seasons have been released. A recommended classic sci-fi!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the show on TV, love it on DVD!, 6 Jan 2006
This is an excellent and very watchable show, Sci-fi at its best. The other reviewers make good points about the order of the episodes and special features, but this is far outweighed by the quality of the shows and likeability of the characters. I would recommend this set to anyone.
