Jerry, you should definitely try and bring back Sliders and take up the role of Quinn Mallery again!
I'm only 17 so I wasn't really old enough to watch it when it was around originally, but I think bringing back Sliders would be fantastic... A LOT of people loved it, and I know I did!
The cast in season 5 were good but not as good as it was when it was you, Cleavant, and Kari Wuhrer... It'd definitely be a hit if Sliders came back to SyFy, or any network!!
Sliders died during season 3. The original premise of the series was absolutely fantastic - infinite alternate dimensions, allowing for amazing story concepts; the most exciting being those where very slight tweaks to our own history creates major changes in the world. As the show went on they started diverting from this more and more, until they got to the point (in seasons 4 and 5) where they decided to do a cheap "alien invasion" theme (done to death), and have every episode revolve around either this, or stories which had already been done by 100 other shows. Alas, Sliders died, and no revival now could save it.
Incidentally, the best Sliders quartet was the initial 4; Jerry O'Connell, Sabrina Lloyd, Cleavant Derricks and JOHN RHYS-DAVIES (that is, one of the most underrated actors of our time). Kali Wuhrer gets an honorable mention for being entertaining and having extreme sex appeal. Charlie O'Connell was terrible to watch, and without Jerry O'Connell OR John Rhys-Davies I couldn't bring myself to watch series 5.
Sliders according to my opinion was only 1-4 only. To me there was no season 5. Sliders died the day Jerry O'Connell (his brother Charlie wasn't too bad, I mean he didn't have that much experience yet and did bring some good laughs to the show with his Amish upbringing) left the series. I have seasons 1-4 on DVD of Sliders. I consider 1-4 as seasons of Sliders. BTW if I have a boy I'm naming him Quinn Mallory!
