Sliders - The Third Season (DVD, 2005)

The writing is clearly not as "crisp" in Sliders Season 3, as before, but it is adequate, not horrible as some suggest. The prof Arturo character was killed off apparently because John Rhys-Davies apparently embarrased either the producer or the producer's wife at a Hollywood party due to the dismal script writing, depending on where you read it. Kari Wurher fills in and by the end of the season, fits in with the crew.

Sliders is one of those TV series that did not live up to the HUGE potential it had. It could have been a centerpiece type of show, and they could have EASILY written Arturo back in a myriad of ways, as well as branch out into different directions all at once, like the X-files and run just as long. They could have run for 9-10 seasons, 25-30 shows per season, had all kinds of interesting story lines, and mixed and matched a group of regulars that could have alternated in and out.

Sliders is well worth watching because of the variety of situations and comraderie of the main character group. Season 3 has Prof Arturo most of the way, so enjoy.

There is not one thing that I dislike about the 3rd season of sliders. I never got to watch it on television so all the episodes are new to me. I originally bought seasons 1 and 2 for my boyfriend for christmas. We loved them so much that I had to get the 3rd season. We still have 2 more discs to watch on the 3rd season and I can't wait to find out what happens in the end. For the people who like science fiction, this is a great show for you to watch. I am not huge on the science part but I love the way each new slide creates an adventure for the sliders and how creative the writers were in making each dimension so much different than what we consider as normal. It makes our world seem so much better!

If the Sliders wasn't entertaining enough for you, in the Third Season they added the very sexy Kari Salin Wurher to the "lost mix". This complete series is a great tv show my 10 yr old daughter loves it too. Anywhere from a alternate universe with a flooded San Fransico to running from Dinosaurs and escaping from aliens. This show is an awesome addition to my collection, along with Dr.Who, Stargate SG1, Battlestar Galactica, Futurama, Smallville, Automan, Viper, Back to the Future, Star Trek Enterprise,etc.

After years of waiting, the 3rd Season of Sliders is finally available on DVD. Although the set is lacking in extras and special features, the overall quality of it is excellent, with all 25 episodes in sharp DVD quality. Anyone who is a fan of this great science fiction series will not be disapointed with this set.

Seasons 1 & 2 were without a doubt the best. Season 3 ended up being pretty good; until John Rhys-Davies 'left' the series. After that, it got worse and worse with each episode. Season 3 can be considered the last good season of Sliders. Seasons 4 & 5 were a disgrace, as is evidenced that the distributer is too embarrassed to release them onto DVD.
