Trust me, don’t. If you want mostly forgotten 90s sci-fi, there are so many better choices: Odyssey 5, Jeremiah, Earth 2, The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr., Lexx.
Even animated ones like Invasion: America and Exosquad are better. Plus, Invasion: America has Leonard Nimoy in it!
Seriously, I would put Sliders above either SeaQuest DSV or SeaQuest 2032 and it sucked.
Such a great show! The world building was amazing! (Plus, Clancy Brown!)
Similarly, I’ve been re-watching the Alien Nation TV series lately. I forgot the extent of the world-building done in that show. It’s truly impressive for just one season and a few TV movies.
Oh definitely! And don’t bother watching the film first. They change a lot from it like Stargate SG-1 did. If you don’t know the plot, a space ship of alien slaves breaks down over Los Angeles and after several years, it’s decided that they get to be made citizens. A “Newcomer” cop works with a bigoted human that slowly learns to respect their culture.

Do you mean Babylon 5?
I do not.

I think I missed Invasion:America. Know anywhere I could see it?
Yes! For some reason, it is on YouTube in two long parts rather than broken up into episodes:

There are two versions, a prime time version and a version edited down for kids. I believe this is the prime time version with a lot more violence.
The first two seasons (and the first half of season 3) of Sliders were great. The rest, yeah, should join E.T on Atari 2600 in its burial site.
Earth 2! FTW!!

Clancy Brown is great but Tim Curry is amazing, poppet

I haven’t seen that. I’ll add it to my list!

Edit: And, of course, there’s a Trek connection or two- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Pierpoint
No mention of Space: Above & Beyond?
I thought I knew you, dude
I never got into it back then and I never got back to it. I should.
It would be nice to have another human who understands what I mean when I say “Raymond T. Butts has ate his last pancake”
