Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - A Fantastic Series for little Kids and Adults.
oh boy, when it come to these two short seasons of Sliders, there's one word that comes into my mind and that's is...... its Freaking Awsome!!!lol
I've been a big Sci-Fi fan for years and when this show came out i felt like i was 7 yrs old again.. Really!!!! My imagination of Parallel Worlds went into a Sci-fi addiction. Thinking about Parallel worlds is fascinating!
So on to the review...... well Jerry O'Connell(Quinn) and John Rhys-Davies(Prof. Arturo) are fantastic. Prof. Arturo to me was the father figure in the series. He had the wisdom and insight you needed when it came too terrible situations. In fact, he was the counter balance for Quinn Mallory.
The DVD case sucks giant Kromag balls!! Handle it with care. Buy the first two seasons because their awsome for little kids and adults too.
Rating:  - "What if you found a portal to a parallel universe..."
Sliders was a great show that I watched back when I was a kid and just getting into the sci-fi genre. I was really psyched to find they made DVDs for the show.
The DVDs menus are easy to navigate, have plenty of info, and most of all, have a 'Play All' feature--which is great for when you just want to have some background noise.
HOWEVER, the packaging for this is ridiculous. As you can see in the picture of this, the DVDs are tiered. The box itself is an ungainly 3 inches thick, which has some kind of soft foam inside--which has slits in it for each of the DVDs. It's a very interesting idea, but it doesn't really work for me.
I'd have given this 5 stars, but the packaging definitely ruins it.
Rating: - This was a great show!
This show was great for the first few seasons. People who have not seen it should try the season 1&2 box set.... hey it's only $15!!
Rating: - Great Show! but what's with the box?
I'll agree with the majority of the reviewers here...the show was entertaining, but slid as time went on. My only gripe with the Season 1-2 boxset is the packaging. Yes, it looks really nice sitting on your shelf. Getting to your discs for viewing and putting them away makes one wish they had the ability to send the designer to an alternate universe! First, there's a cheap foam insert with slots cut into it that the discs slide into. Gee, what better way to scratch a disc. Get a little dirt in there, and it'll be worse than one of those cd books at destroying the disc. Then, there's a clear plastic cover that you're supposed to remove to gain access to the discs. Once I fought to get this off, it never did fit back together as it kept hanging up on the foam. After experiencing this once, I immediately got online and ordered a six disc dvd box to put my set in.
Rating: - One of my favorite shows.
One of the better ideas to come out of Fox in the 1990s and the first season is excellent from the first pilot episode which is more like a 90 minute movie to the last episode "Luck of the Draw"
My favorite out of this bunch is probably "Last Days" where the earth is due to be hit by an asteroid in 56 hours. Unfortunately the next Slide window isn't for 72 hours.
The show was then inexpiably canned as tends to happen a lot with Fox releases.
It was resurrected for a second season almost a year later and in that respect it beat the odds but something was missing. The second season episodes were great fun as evidenced by episodes such as "The Good the Bad and the Wealthy" "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome" and" Into the majestic" but something felt incredibly restrained. This was because Fox in agreeing to bring the show back wanted more control over the creative process.
Overall-Great first season and the second season is great as long as you ignore the episode "Invasion" and I hate invasion because it set us up for the train wreck that was season 4.
