Sliders was a show that "the suits" wanted to bury but the fans kept it alive.  Originally on FOX and canceled multiple times, the show eventually ended up on the Syfy Channel where it was unceremonsionuly laid to rest.  The show was kind of like Quantum Leap but younger, hipper and starred a future dwarf.  It kept the audience coming back with its alternate timelines formula as the "Sliders" "slid" into "infinite" "parallel" "dimensions".   Sadly the demise of the show started with the suits and the writers inability to be creative with infinite possible story lines.  If you like a show that's gets you thinking about "What if?" but has the budget of public access, then this is the series for you.  According to popular opinion on the internet: The best episode of this series is season 2 episode 10: Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome While the worst is season 5 episode 18: The Seer
