I think it was a misconception. I always felt that whether he did or not, it was probably unavoidable. To force him to impersonate Jerry was kind of ridiculous, and he deserved his own character. I also thought the rumor was that Floyd asked for changes very early on, which again I found hard to believe. That was a very difficult season for writers and directors and actors. The budget was so low, and they were forced to essentially do a stage play rather than a TV show.

Thanks for the link, I'll have to keep an eye on that. Glad that he's still performing though!

The last time he was on Broadway, during the last decade, a friend of mine tried to meet him but he kind of blew him off!

Honestly I'd like to know. He has zero presence on social media, it's unfortunate. Love to meet him one day of course!

That's understandable. I wouldn't mind listening even if it's cruddy.

John is appearing at NYCC Fri-Sun October 9 - 11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York. Unfortunately, most tickets to NYCC are sold out. Hopefully this time I will have the spare time to attend his panel.

Re: Who owns the BBoard Hall of Fame? (8 replies, posted in Sliders Bboard)
Unfortunately the people you seek have basically fallen off the face of the earth. Let's not forget how difficult it was for TF and someone else to procure the administrative rights/password for the sliders.tv domain a few years ago. Honestly there's only about 10% of the HOF that really ought to be preserved. The rest is so dated, and so many of the people involved have left the Sliders scene ages ago.

Man, I completely missed that original Robert Floyd posting! That was a terrific article, really an eye opener. Bill Dial was a bit polarizing but he seemed to genuinely wish to produce quality science fiction. The Sci-Fi network group in NY were awful, sadly many are still in place there. Just sad all the way around. 100 minutes? Wow, you need to turn that into a podcast!
