SLIDERS is coming out tomorrow on DVD!
Seasons 1 and 2 box set.

The only one worth getting, IMHO!

3. FOX cancelled it after season 3. Sci-fi Channel bought the rights & made
2 more seasons... Apart from 'Double-Cross', 'The Fire Within', and 'The Guardian', season 3 is total CRAP. Each episode was a totally uninspired ripoff-movie-of-the-week. Twister, Island of Dr Moreaux, Mad Max, and many more were pitifully ripped off... ugh, I kept watching in a vain hope that the villain from 'Double Cross' would return! But, no, they created another character in a hamfisted haphazard style, using Roger Daltry's name to pull ratings before realizing that the character was to be a recurring one and Daltry wouldn't possibly want to stay on!

While season 4 had some good stories, they changed the premise too much for my liking and turned the Kromaggs from a force to be reckoned with with yet-another-cliched-sci-fi-military-we've-seen-before-starting-with-the-Sontarans...

I didnt' watch season 5, all the regular cast except Cleavant Derricks bailed out. I liked Remmy, but the show - to me - is Remmy, Wade, Quinn, and Arturo.

4. Jerry O'Connell...
'My Secret Identity' was the TV show, I believe... he was in a highly ated 80s movie too... with Wil Wheaton in it as well...

Sadly, Jerry - a GOOD actor - has had to take part in such wonderful movies as 'Tomcats', 'Joe's Apartment', 'Kangaroo Jack', and other mindless rubbish. He was in another movie that was popular with Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr, but the fact I remember 'Tomcats' over that movie speaks volumes...

5. He was in Stand By Me!
One of my all time favorite movies! I too cannot remember the name of th emovie he was in with Tom Cruise. Some may think it sad but I actually liked Kangaroo Jack! I must say though I love most anything having to do with Australia.

6. In all honesty...
Kangaroo Jack didn't look entirely bad in the trailer... Of course, I ought to see it and know for sure. But I saw Tomcats and Joe's Apartment (it's amazing my brain didn't bleed to death while watching those) and, whoo-boy, they were utter CRAP!

I recall 'Liar Liar' looking good, but when I watched it was clear the trailer was meant for kids but the movie was made for adults... and Carrey is NOT FUNNY in 99% of the joke. (not plural, it's the same routine over and over again.)

11. Cool! That's when the show was good.
When it went downhill, it really went.
