I used to love watching sliders years ago but for some reason stopped watching it after the 2nd season. Possibly because I didnt have cable at the time it moved to sci fi. Once in a while I would catch reruns when I could years later but I never knew what actually happened since I stopped. Then the show stopped showing reruns and I was missing Sliders again. Until I saw that season 1 & 2 was for $20 (which I got) and then found out 3 was the same. I couldnt resist.
If you have never heard of the show. Its about a college student named Quinn Mallory (Jerry O'Connel) his friend who is a girl named Wade Wells (Sabrina Loyd), former 60s-70s singer Rambrant brown (forgor his name) and Prof. Autaro (forgot his name but played Glimii in Lord of the Rings) discover there are altnerate universes where its the same place, time (with one exception) with the same people (sometimes not) but a different road was taken. (Russia won the cold war, england won the American Revolution, etc). They travel to these worlds but cant find their way home, now they must travel to each world until they find theirs without getting killed or trapped in the world.
Now there are some issues. The dvd case is cheap looking and at first is hard to master just to open it. Season 3 has 4 discs but in realiaty it has 8. Each disc is double sided which I personally dont like. They should have just had 8 discs. Or try to fit everything onto 4 discs. The special features are very limited. Season 3 has a gag real and episodes of "Earh 2" and another show I never even heard of.
Now the reason why I gave this dvd dual pack a perfect score is because regardless or the dvd case, the lack of special features and the the 4x2 discs, this show is great. Each episode is exciting (though some arent as good as others) and intriguing with the what might have been theory.
If you loved the show, if you love sci fi, or tv in general get this before they stop doing the dual pack (after you get seasons 1 & 2, then get 4), if you miss out still get it

Sliders is a great series - wish they would make more like this. Beats reality TV garbage any day.

It's incredible how many great shows had their origin on Fox TV; and how many the SciFi channel proceeded to run into the ground once it acquired them. To me, there simply is no greater show - sci-fi or otherwise. Period. Whatever it was that came together so beautifully to create this masterpiece has pretty much vanished from TV. For one thing, there was a small window of opportunity for a sci-fi show not based on a military paradigm and not seeped in violence. Not that there's no violence to be found in Sliders - nor even that there's anything wrong with violence in a TV show. Rather, that the show's main characters do not go from world to world carrying an array of weapons in expectation of violence. Being peaceful - i.e., non-military - they expect to find relatively peaceful conditions. Of course, all that changes forever with the introduction of the Cro-Mags. Though I agree with most reviewers that seasons 1 and 2 were essentially Sliders at their best; I've chosen to review season 3 because my all-time favorite Sliders episode - The Guardian - is part of season 3. This episode, besides representing a glitch in the normal parallel world sliding because of its introduction of the temporal factor, shows Quinn Mallory at his most sensitive and humane. It's simply magnificent. Quinn Mallory is the quintessential hero of all sci-fi in that he uses intelligence and guile to find his way out of every predicament; he uses no weapons - not on "stun," not on "kill," not on any setting whatever. The same, of course, is true of the other three characters, even if they do from time to time show more "human flaws" than Quinn. And just as the characters are great, so is the cast. It's nothing unusual or unique for the cast of any show to seem perfect for the characters; but this particular cast is more than perfect: not only are they the characters, they're the show itself. Season 4 and 5, where the cast changes, are still good, with good stories and good characterizations. There's a particularly good story in season 5, where the character of Diana has been separated from the others in a war zone and is relating the events. But even that falls short of almost any of the stories from seasons 1, 2 and 3. The magic that made Sliders great gradually disappeared as first Arturo then Wade then Quinn himself departed. Reminding us, once again, that "it's only a show." But what a show!

I do not like this season very much... THEY KILLED OFF THE PROFESSOR!! whatever i liked rules of the game, the exodus pt 1 & 2, season greedings, and just me probably but i liked slither. maggie is nice to look at so thats a plus, albeit wade is a better actress. I would have rather kept wade though over maggie for season 4. I just want to say too that the Guardian was not a good episode like everyone here is saying. IT SUCKED -- I MEAN THE PART WHERE THE PROFESSOR WAS FLIRTING WITH THAT BIKER CHICK IN THE BAR?!? LOL come on now people!!
