I don't think networks would be against a Sliders reboot. Sliders had a decent share of popularity during its original run, and continues to make Universal money even today- it's popular enough (outside of us) to warrant the entire series being released on DVD, both as individual seasons and later as a complete series, also had the first 2 season re-released on DVD, and enjoys continued licenses on Netlfix, Hulu and Amazon streaming.

Regarding sliding in and out each episode, I actually prefer it that way. I did enjoy the few episodes that had multiple worlds in one episodes (in addition to bumper worlds), but to have multiple episodes dedicated to one world, I'd rather not have that. Exodus is 2 episodes, and that was a bit drawn out for me. The episodes are an hour anyway, that enough time on an earth for me. I like only needing to dedicate one episode to watching a full story.

Just listened to Young and the Relentless.

Glad to hear that they're back! Good review- 2 different views on the episode. I do agree that the logistics of the world are far fetched and not really possible by any means, but other than that I do like the concept and enjoy this episode a lot. It also has one of my favorite quotes of the series where Arturo tells a young man who tell him it's past his bedtime to "hurry home and cuddle up with Teddy". For some reason, that line always makes me laugh. There's a lot going on in this episode and it's a fun episode.

I hope season 3 reviews start quickly, love listening to these guys.

Those 2 episodes are still missing, out of curiosity I looked yesterday.

Where is this series shown? (Network, etc.)

Good topic with the names. Never really thought about it that all 4 of their names are pretty uncommon. I do have to say that because of Sliders, whenever I meet a male Logan or female Quinn, it seems odd.

Paradise Lost, Slither would be good candidates I think

I don't disagree necessarily with any of which you just said, but I suspect that many of these devices had planned payoffs later in the series had it been picked up. If Sliders' pilot was produced and nothing picked up afterwards, many of the same things could be said about that.

The building and countdown do seem rather convenient, especially the building part. The 36 hours was probably purposely done by whoever designed it, I'd guess. I'd certainly be interested in watching this series of it were to get picked up. Yeah it's not Sliders but it certainly has potential.

I've only been a member here (including the previous versions of the board) for around 2 years or so, but found the (2 versions ago) board maybe 4-5 years ago and read everything on it, which contained many years of posts and discussions. As I read through everything Sliders related, I did notice TemporalFlux's name was quite common as a poster, and remembered that I had a conversation or two with someone with that name on AOL back in the late 90s or possibly early '00s. I remember talking with him about Sliders and BTTF and him being very excited about a replica timer he wanted to make. I guess he either found me since I had a picture of me with a Sliders poster at Universal on my AOL hometown page  or because I mentioned on interests on my aol profile. For whatever reason, I never found (or looked for) any Sliders boards until fairly recent (5 years ago), so I never got connected with any fans. I only talked to him once or twice on AIM, but he was on my buddy list for a long time- might still be! As far as I knew, he and I were the only Sliders fans out there. I doubt he remembers talking to me on AIM 15 years or so ago, but inthoughtbitnwas cool he wanted to create his own timer replica. In the days of eBay and etsy and everything now, that doesn't seem like a huge thing anymore, but back then, to me he was the biggest Sliders fan possible, even more than me!

Side note- I don't recall how or why I came across this board (previous versions), but I'm glad I did.

I thought the same about the phones, I just figure the movie actually takes place about 5 years ago.... Was there anything in the movie that suggested it's 2014? I can't recall any offhand.

I love Part II the most, also. It has the most complex time travel story, all the cool things from the "future" (sad I have to put that in quotes now that it's past the day). It also includes some of the best scenes from the first movie as a bonus.

I'm as much of a BTTF fan as I am a Sliders fan (favorite movie and favorite show). I've found that most BTTF fans enjoy Part II most, while most casual fans/moviegoers enjoy the first most.

I agree, I check their site everyday hoping for a new episode. I'd love to see you guys go all the way to the end of the series. Please?

I completely agree. If you've found this page, you GOT to have them all on DVD (and if not all, definitely the first few seasons - which is where these episodes fall)!

I have the book. Wish there were more. I'd be interested in other Sliders comics/cartoons stuff like this.

They're back! Episode 26 is up!

Episode is "Greatfellas". I'll admit, its been a while since I've watched this one... might watch it tomorrow.

I love how Dan correctly predicts that the listeners won't hear it until September.

Unfortunately, I don't have much to comment (mostly because I haven't watched it in forever). Nevertheless, it was great to hear a new episode. Very much looking forward to Young and the Relentless, which is definitely in my top 10 episodes.

All media: probably Biff Tannen from the Back To the Future series

As far as Sliders goes, maybe Arturo from "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome" or Kolitar from "Slidecage"/"Way Out West".

The picture of "The Shop" I mentioned above is posted on the Slideheads Facebook page if you want to see it.

There's store called "The Shop" that I saw at the Sawgrass Mall in Florida which uses the font. I have no idea how to post a picture of it here though.

As many of you know, I actually watch Sliders very regularly, an episode every week or so. I kinda bounce around on the episodes though... But recently (basically 2015) I've been watching a lot of original cast episodes, keeping up with SlidersCast and started with the Sliders Rewatch. I always defend seasons 3.5 to the end, because even though the original cast is not in tact, there are some good episodes, great ideas, and a lot of great scenes, even with the "new" sliding teams. Just the other day, however, I watched Way Out West (which I claim as my second favorite episode of the series), and going from watching most of season 1-3.5 episodes to that was almost a shock. It was still enjoyable, but something was missing.

So, yes, I still believe Sliders with any cast would still be enjoyable since I love the *concept* of sliding, and everything that goes along with that. However, a new show would *have* to have a good, hand picked cast that would work together, as much as the original cast did for this series.

I'm from New York originally, and also a amusement/theme park enthusiast. The boardwalk in Seaside Heights, New Jersey (the one where the roller coaster "Star Jet" fell into the ocean during Sandy) has been recovering. Casino Pier, which is the park that owned that coaster, reopened the following summer with only a few rides (including some that survived the storm). I got to visit that year. They've been adding every year, and are getting to close to the size they were before the storm.

Funtown Pier, also located in Seaside Heights and further down the boardwalk, actually suffered more damage, never reopened, and that site is still vacant. A tragic fire occurred about a year after Sandy, destroying a carousel (and some other places). Independent merchants and restaurants along the boardwalk have mostly if not all reopened, or simply never reopened/were replaced. Most of the physical boardwalk was rebuilt after the storm. It's crazy how much damage occurred, but many businesses were rebuilt.

Okay, I didn't notice that. I was only looking at the first line at the top left where it says "you are not logged in. Please login or register."

Really? Well, that's disappointing. Not that I ever have expected it. But the hope is always there.

Of the 8 sliders, I'd love to meet him most of all. He was there for the entire run! He defines Sliders to me more than Quinn/Jerry.

Will do! Thanks again!

Is Next World over really Sliders related (without any spoilers)?
