I too have experienced the epic highs and lows of high school football.

It was an incredibly fun show to watch. It swung for the fences, often losing. I loved it.

I was 10 with no computer and four television channels.

The season premiere of the hypothetical sixth season would have to be a collage of multiple versions of Quinn, Wade, Rembrandt, Arturo, Maggie, Colin, Diana and Mallory. They all exist in separate worlds and they all feel something from each other. Something ain't right. Their minds confuse the logic of each world and upends it accordingly. They understand that they shouldn't exist. This is something they all have to grapple with.

Quinn figures it out the fix, naturally. The reason for this is Mallory and Colin. The unstuckness of it all has thrown a rock into an already cracked glass pane of multi-verse existence.

End of the episode is Quinn literally rebooting the events of the previous 5 seasons using some kind of new device he's created to make it right. End of episode: A new existence is created... but the fragments of these deleted pasts still linger in the minds of a group of new Sliders.

Something like that feels like the right approach in 2023.

I know man. No respect.

But I think it will be fun. Commissioning artists on reddit is surprisingly very cheap, as is the guy putting together the steelbook.

I gotta think about how I want it to look and what iconic images from each season to include. Maybe put in some of the original promotional materials as at least the back cover. It'd be a fun project and I'd share the images if anyone wants to get it made for themselves.

EDIT: I'm thinking of commissioning the image of Wade screaming with blood on her hands at the end of season 1 for the back cover. I know its a spoiler, but if youre getting a steelbook made, Im pretty sure you know the show. Maybe the interior is the iconic shot of them running in silhouette from the pilot. And the main cover is that promo photo of all of them looking at us with the timer with the multicolored background. BOOM.

Wow. Didnt realize that complete 22 disc boxset was so rare. Glad I grabbed one when I could. That said, the individual slip cases appear to be the same and are still available.

Anyways... Marc Scott Zicree is going to be doing commentaries.

I'm tethered to the east coast until march 17th. After that I'm hitting the road.

I plan on staying with some friends in West Hollywood in the beginning of April and could possibly be there for that entire month.

So... basically... I could be available for torme interview any time in April if he's willing to have one.

Please let me know if this could actually happen!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread.

But yeah. I'm not setting my sights on making a doc for money. Honestly, there wouldn't be any money to get really. I'm just a Sliders fan with a lot of video equipment and the knowhow to get the job done.

I'm also going to be traveling around America (aimlessly) in the next month. My job doesn't need me in one location, so why not?

I will have all my equipment, so why not stop somewhere and interview someone involved in the series if they would be willing to talk? I know many of you have a lot of connections to various sources throughout the years.... so hey... look.... I'm willing to do this for free. I just need help.

I just thought it would be nice if someone (and I'm nominating myself) would be willing to sit down with as many people as possible involved with Sliders to talk about Sliders. We've heard/read a lot of in depth stuff here and there throughout the years, but I personally would like it all to be in one place. An "oral history" as Transmodiar said previously.

If anyone thinks this could be remotely possible, please email me at floopydoops@yahoo.com. Yes, thats my email. floopydoops@yahoo.com. Or just respond here.

Thanks!

Okay, so I didn't get to meet him afterwards, which was to be expected. The rest of the cast/crew said he usually doesn't come out after a performance and that he does the Irish Goodbye all the time. He actually would've come out because it was the final performance, but he had to take a flight immediately afterwards for something.

That said, Cleavant was fantastic in Jelly's Last Jam. Never heard of this musical before, but he played "Chimney Man" -- kind of like an aggressive version of Clarence from It's a Wonderful Life. The other performers were great too. It was a Jazz musical with lots of impressive dance numbers a tap dance breaks. Really cool. Glad I got a chance to see it and to see Cleavant perform again. He hasn't lost his touch and his voice is as good as ever.
