Very Very well made TV show

Sliders, in a nut shell, is about SLIDING through different dimensions, but the same Earth.

To start, the first two seasons are the best. It is pure science fiction, at it's best.

The first episode, as the 'sliding wormhole' opens up, Rembrant Brown, a singer, is driving by the house. He is sucked in too, and he adds a real funny, yet serious act to the show.

Professor Arturo, is another favorite, with his not politically correct comments, toward dogs, people, things. I don't think if this show was made today, they would get away with that.

Quinn ( Q-ball, nickname) is the slider inventor, and I like his acting very much.

And Wade, the pretty girl, give good advice to the rest of the characters. And excellent actress for the role.

And the little touches, that a first class production has, sure show up here. For example, Goodfellas episode (about mob rule), the pay phone has a slot machine built in. And these small touches add up to a fantastic effect. Most of the writing is on par with the most creative minds. "Your messing with the devils playground here". A great line from the FBI agent.

And it's not just Science fiction, the stories are about everyday life, pollution, politics, and crime drama. Suitable for teens and up.
