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: - Great show, but the packaging isn't!
When this was on the tube I was a big fan, but I had totally forgotten about it until it showed up on the Zune Marketplace site. After doing the math I figured it was more cost effective for me just to buy the DVD's. If you are into to this sci fi stuff this is a must own. Well of course you are otherwise you wouldn't even be here...Duh!
Anyway the first two seasons are really very good, after that they are ok but really nothing to write home about.
But man the packaging/box of this,well for the lack of a better phrase...sucks. Who ever came up with it should be taken out back behind the wood shed and severely taught a lesson in mass marketing.
I gave it only 3 stars because of the packaging. If it had been packaged like the stargate series, a big 5 stars!
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!!
