Movie Reviews of Sliders - The First and Second Seasons
Movie Review: One of my favorite shows.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of Sliders - The First and Second Seasons
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 GaitaScience Fiction & Fantasy DVD Video
