The September 14, 2007 issue of online comic VG Cats ( #243: Bizzaro!) features Leo mentioning Sliders, followed by a scene in a parallel universe into which the original line-up (Rembrandt, Arturo, Quinn and Wade) slide.

In a 2014 interview at the Toulouse Game Show, Rhys-Davies stated that the inability to get writers who had read science fiction in the first place led to the show's downfall, and their inexperience in the area led to the show often repurposing ideas from other works. He said, "We did an episode like Tremors, one like Twister, one like The Night of the Living Dead and even one like The Island of Doctor Moreau, using the film's original masks!" He found the writers were just "looting" these ideas rather than using these as a tribute, pointing to one episode where Quinn needed to cross an invisible bridge and on approaching the writer about it, discovered he had never seen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade which Rhys-Davies had starred in and simply used the idea instead of toying with the meta nature of the scene. [6] On December 2, 2014, Universal released Sliders- The Complete Series on DVD in Region 1. [19] This set contains all 88 episodes of the series on 22 single sided discs with a run time of 66 hours (3954 minutes). And in a world where historical fiction has become more popular than ever before, we’re convinced that the audience for a Sliders revival is similarly large. Part of the fun of watching these characters slide into different dimensions is figuring out all of the different ways (some very subtle and some completely in your face) this new world diverges from our own. On February 22, 2015, in a Sliders 20th anniversary interview, when asked about a revival of the series, Jerry O’Connell stated, “Tracy Torme is the guy to talk to. I am in if he is. That is the creator and boss. I go where he tells me.” [32] Both Jerry O'Connell and John Rhys-Davies have spoken of a potential revival of the series as recently as 2019. According to Rhys-Davies, O'Connell had been in private talks with him over a possible revival, which Rhys-Davies said he would do if the series stayed focused on the thought-provoking aspects of the alternate worlds. The two have spoken to NBC about this, as the rights to distribute Sliders are believed to be held by NBCUniversal. [33] O'Connell has also said that Tormé is interested in a revival as well. [4] On 14 July 2021, Tormé stated in an interview that a Sliders reboot is actively in the works. [34] Connection to other works [ edit ] Doorways [ edit ]
The plotlines in Sliders are all set around the idea of a multiverse, where the outcomes of non-deterministic quantum processes result in the splitting of reality into multiple universes, each existing in parallel. There has also been speculation that Sliders was inspired by George R. R. Martin's 1992 ABC pilot Doorways, [35] in which the main cast were fugitives fleeing through parallel worlds, while carrying a device that tells them where and when the next Doorway opens. [36] Universal Studios Home Entertainment has released all five seasons on DVD in Region 1, 2, and 4. The fifth and final season was released in Region 1 on January 17, 2012, almost 4 years after season 4. [18] Rolland, Gilles (December 5, 2014).

If Sliders doesn’t ring any bells, it’s the classic Fox (and later SyFy) television show that was exploring the multiverse before it was cool. The premise involves a young whiz kid Quinn Mallory (played by Jerry O’Connell) who builds a device that lets him “slide” from one universe to another. Quinn, eager to demonstrate his vortex technology to Prof. Arturo and Wade, inadvertently opens a large wormhole that draws Rembrandt with them to a hostile ice-covered Earth. Quinn is forced to activate the vortex prematurely to save them, and they find themselves unable to return to their Earth. So not to be stranded on any alternate Earth for over 20 years, the group continues to slide between worlds, many of them involving alternate histories, such as if the British had won the Revolutionary War, or if antibiotics had never been discovered.

Fixed an issue that prevented the game from launching when the installation folder contained non-Latin characters. For as short as Loki’s second season will be, it’s going to be another exercise in long-form storytelling that is mostly there to set up another few shows and movies…surely, we aren’t the only ones longing for simple, episodic fun in our adventures in the multiverse?

Michio Kaku explains in the appendix of his book, The Future of the Mind, that the Sliders series began "when a young boy read a book. That book is actually my book Hyperspace, but I take no responsibility for the physics behind that series." [1] Entering into the fifth season, the production team knew the series was not being renewed and had saved money from the budget of each season five episode for use in a climactic battle for the season finale. The money was instead used for the penultimate episode, "Eye of the Storm", while the last episode ended with an unresolved cliffhanger. Insiders have various theories as to why this happened. The producers were concerned the Sci Fi Channel had lost interest in the show (even though it was their highest-rated program at the time) after they ceased supplying corrective notes for the episodes, and it was believed they were not even reading the scripts.

Although scripts for six additional episodes after the pilot film were completed, Doorways never went to series, as ABC decided to launch Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman instead in the fall of 1993. At the time of Sliders' launch, Evelyn C. Leeper noted the similarities to Doorways, [37] and in response to rumors that Sliders creator Tracy Tormé applied for a writing position on the show, Martin clarified in a 1995 post on GEnie that it was Tormé's agent that inquired about the position, [38] and Tormé has denied any connection between the two.

After the changes of the DC Comics event mini-series Zero Hour, the artistic design of time travel was changed and first introduced in Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 3 number 74. During the issue, Superboy comments that this new artistic design of time travel is similar to the tunnel effect on Sliders.

Fox opted to air "Rules of the Game" first, since it was a more action-oriented episode.

Meanwhile, Marvel has gods, magicians, and the occasional monster navigating its own multiverse, and it’s difficult to relate to such characters even when they aren’t obscured by bad CGI. George R.R.

Another reason we loved Sliders so much is that it is very engaging to see what happens when our everyman characters get tossed into different dimensions where only their wits can save them. It’s a bit like watching a Doctor Who show starring only the companions, and it’s quite rewarding watching these characters pool their knowledge and skills to solve one multiversal problem after another.Sliders DoC: Superboy Likes Sliders?".
