Topic: Happy 30th Sliders Anniversary

Hi my fellow Sliders!

I’m so happy that we still have a sliders forum. Miss you all and our talks on what if slides.

It’s officially 30 years since the premiere of our beloved show. This also means  that it’s been a year of being able to escape from being stuck in a world for missing a slide. Let’s try not to equate that to our age as we are still young!

Not sure if you remember me since I have a new name on here and it’s been years since the SYFY bboard. I used to post under Sliderkitty.

I’m inviting you to slide again this Saturday night as we rewatch the pilot. Please join us as chances are that Jerry himself will rewatch and tweet along. We do weekly rewatches on Saturday nights which gives nostalgia. We had Rob Floyd tweet and rewatch some of Season 5. JOC has rewatched too but can’t confirm if he’ll be on this Saturday yet.

Not sure how many of you have twitter (x) but here are the details:

If you only watch 1 Sliders episode this year, let this be the one. The Pilot.

The 30th Anniversary of Sliders ! Let's watch at the same time:
Saturday, March 22 @ 9pmEST.
FAQs: slidecage.com/rewatch
Use #SlidersRewatch to rewatch

SlidersFanBlog is hosting but u can stream it on peacock or watch along with the dvd

Catch you on the next slide.

Re: Happy 30th Sliders Anniversary

I saw that posted, as usual, I'm out on the town during one. 

Wow, 30 years.  It's interesting because technically my real, hardcore Sliders fandom goes back to around the fall of 1997, even 1998, when Sci-Fi acquired the rights to the reruns and aired them in order for what seemed like 2 years, many times over.  I'd watched the Fox run here and there but not intently.  The presence of JRD, being a massive Indiana Joneser, was what drew me to the show.  When he was canned, I remember hoping (and getting my wish) that the show was punitively canceled.  Only later as I said, did a multi-time rewatch really endear the show to me.  It became my favorite science fiction program. In many ways, it's lack of mainstream success kept it as kind of a guilty pleasure. This was also while joining the old MCA and Sci-fi boards and having a multiverse of craziness on those for the better part of a decade. 

Sadly this anniversary comes with Sliders having far less hope for a future return, and just one year after the death of its creator.  I do hope someone wises up and realizes the incredible story telling that could be done.

Re: Happy 30th Sliders Anniversary

Newer and newer technologies give me hope that we will see our foursome gang together again, with some new material. At least we won't be solely reliant on the studio and the economic model. 

Happy 30th to something that has all given us comfort in what can be the difficult and often intriguing world we live in, with so many possibilities.
