Not sure about the hub but I can answer your second question though. All of the releases look the same even compared to the complete series set.

My family and I were regular watchers of the X-Files, so I saw it being advertised on a commercial. I saw the original airing of the Pilot and was hooked. I was 8 years old at the time. My grandparents had cable but yes even they watched Sliders. My family didn't have cable at the time so with broadcast TV we had very little choices anyway. Talking about that, it's unreal the amount of TV shows kids have access to nowadays. We taped episodes on VHS and rewatched them too.

As a kid I would say that I took to Sliders more because of its comedy and overall lighthearted approach versus the darker X-Files. The Invasion episode scared me so much and I still think I'm traumatized. The monsters, twisters and robots in season three were great. I mean as a young boy that was epic. When the Professor died I cried in front of my TV, and wanted Maggie to go away. I was so sad to see the final slides of season three knowing at the time Sliders was finished or so everyone thought. I later found out SciFi was bringing it back but by then I think my interest had faded and I didn't have cable anyways. It was maybe late 98 or early 99 before I got cable but by then I had missed so much. I vividly remember flipping through and seeing glimpses of some of the seasons five episodes but I didn't see Jerry O'Connell so I really didn't care. I think it was only till a few years later that I caught up with reruns. I could ramble on but if your interested you can read more why I like Sliders in my about section on my website.

Netflix lists it as 'HD' but of course anyone would have to take that with a grain of salt. If someone is more familiar with the show and at least has the DVDs and could do a comparison on Netflix that would help. But I'd be willing to put my money where my mouth is and say this is a true HD transfer. It is in a 4:3 format. I keep trying to tell my followers on Twitter to email Universal to do a blu ray, I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility, especially after seeing this Quantum Leap transfer.

Really, Sliders on Netflix looks horrible compared to the DVDs. The only bonus Sliders on Netflix has is it's convenience and it looks like they've done some lighting adjustment to the video.

Unbelieveable. And here all this time we thought it was due to copyrighted lyrics. While you were at it you should of suggested they arrange them in production order.

Its beyond insane. Our world is looking more and more like an alternate world. Makes me think about the ending of "Into the Mystic" about the Sliders saying how things couldn't have changed *that* much. I don't think people would recognize our world from even a decade or so ago.

I'd be interested in buying the game if it wasn't for the mini figures you have to buy. All that is, is a never ending racket for those types of games.

Thanks guys. I couldn't find much on sliders.alt.tv as far as 1998-2000. The hof.slidersweb.net helps a lot TF, I've been looking for archives of the Sci-Fi Wire because I knew they published them but it seems like no one has archived them. I guess it will prove tough to find the ratings for season four. I also noticed some distinguishable inconsistencies as far as the Ratings point with 2 reliable sources USA Today and the Broadcasting Magazine for the first 3 seasons especially 1997. I would imagine for Season Four it's possible they were published in some scifi magazine at the time, however most seem to only list the top 20 for cable. I haven't added season five yet but here's what I have so far if anyone's interested:

Maybe I'm the odd man out. Personally I'd rather not see a reboot. To me Sliders needs to have a least one of the original characters in it for it to be 'Sliders'. Without that it's not Sliders. Not unless you create something new and name it something like Sliders: TNG. I think the best shot and my hope would be to create a miniseries with the actors that would be willing to reprise their roles. I think there's no doubt you couldn't fully restore the feeling the show gave from its own time period in the 90s. Today it would have to take a much more serious approach. Perhaps the return of the X-Files will get brains cogs to turn. Why wouldn't Universal use the opportunity to compete against the X-Files with a Sliders return. Yes, it's pretty obvious X-Files would win. I mean what does Universal have versus FOX's X-Files. Defiance, the never ending Sharknado series and the great scifi of WWE?
