Alternatively Audiobooks would also be very affordable, though with a smaller viewership.... Perhaps an Animatic? A Narrated Comic with occasional animated parts?

That would retain some visual colour and sfx that would perhaps attract the audience, who would ordinarily be put off by a purely auditory medium?

If they're going to do the show - this really IS the time.

I still wonder if Jerry's work on Lower Decks makes an animated series the easiest way to do it.  Maybe something like what Universal did with Camp Cretaceous on Netflix.  It's certainly the easiest if they want the original cast.  Otherwise, I think Jerry with a new group of younger Sliders (with Quinn as the mentor character) probably makes the most sense.  If it gets done in 2025, there will be some appropriateness to that since Jerry would be the same age JRD was when Sliders premiered.

We see this time after time in shows and movies over the past 20 years.  I’ve chronicled many of them on this Bboard, but this What If? display has to be one of the most blatant.  It’s an homage to Sliders.  The people behind What If? had a fond memory of Sliders and included it (whether they realized it or not).  There were a thousand ways to present reality travel, but they chose that one.  That single one.

And a Universal exec asks if it’s the right time to bring Sliders back.
