Did the people from the TV show "Sliders" ever make it back home?

Sliders was cool, saw some episodes on scifi recently.

John Rhys-Davies was in a wheel chair in revelations mini-series recently not looking so hot.

Umm, are you just looking at TV? Because Rhys-Davies did a movie trilogy not too long ago. Maybe you've heard of it--it was filmed in over three and a half years in New Zealand...

Not to mention the 30 billion movies you have never heard of....

Rhys Davies never read a script he didn't like...

I watched, like, 8 Slider eps in their first couple seasons and I can't believe that I still remember about the squeeky fence. The other one I recall had huge deadly hornets.

I liked the dinosaur one and the one where Rembrandt Brown discovers that he is married with a kid but utterly pwhipped.....

Wow, this has gotta be one of the best threads I've even read on AT. If they had ratings, id definately give it ++. yukichigai, excellent posts!

I loved Sliders, and was abolutely pissed when Fox gave up on the series and it was picked up by SciFi, seeing that Time Warner here in Memphis didn't have that as a channel back in the late 90's. I always enjoyed traveling up north to visit relatives and catching a new episode. Unfortunately around the time that SciFi was available here, I had a girlfriend that took up more time than my television, so I ended up catching the last 2 seasons on recorded VHS late at night.

I also hated when Fox cancelled Futurama. I always hang on to the hope that Cartoon Network "MIGHT SOMEHOW" launch new episodes, but I'm sure that MIGHT" happen after The Simpsons has its run and Matt Groening isn't tied down by legal mess at Fox. If it did, it bet it would end up like Family Guy and it would blast off again. Hopefully Seth MacFarlane won't end up in the same boat that Matt Groening by having 2 successful series. Methinks Fox knows The Simpsons is very close to being on the way out and want another "Sunday Night Cartoon Comedy" king to step in its place.

SCIFI tried to change Sliders around a bit and tried to give it a long term villain. I don't think it really worked with a show like this. Maybe a villain(ess) that spanned a season at most maybe but a long term one like they tried to put in just plain friggin sucked.

Fox has a history of screwing up good (and by that I mean entertaining) shows and then replacing them with mediocre crap. Family Guy, Futurama, Married With Children, Firefly, the list goes on. I think I read somewhere that MWC was basically given the "shuffle of death" because some new executive producers wife hated the show and replaced it with something else in it's time slot. Didn't really do any advertising in it's new slot and thus lost viewers, thereby cancelling the show. Hrm...where have we heard that one before.

Now, MWC is an utterly useless show with no redeeming values whatsoever except for the fact that it's funny. I mean, who doesn't watch MWC and think not laugh at the dysfunctional Bundys. Helps you unwind and think, boy, I'm glad I don't have it that bad.

I think one thing the networks in the US need to realize is that, sometimes it's better to have a show that spans one season only. Maybe some that last a few seasons. Sometimes shows just need to die. The shows wear out what made them worth watching. Hell, I haven't really watched the Simpsons in the last 8-10 years. Only catching the odd episode here and there. It's just not the same show anymore. I understand shows need to evolve to retain watchers and sometimes it's change for the better but sometimes it just prolongs the death.

That wasn't Kari Wuhrer on Numbers, it was Sabrina Lloyd.

Oh, and excellent posts yukichigai! Quality rants.

Ah, so where is Kari these days???

Eerily enough, according to TV.com she's currently on General Hospital, which is only eerie to me since I was about to ramble about that show but changed my mind.

Sabrina Lloyd was doing okay on Numb3rs, but she once again got in a hissy fit over her contract and thusly was not in the last two episodes, nor will she be returning in any way, shape or form for the second season. Seriously, does she want the label of "whiny contract-dispute brat"?

and according to imdb, it looks like she got her implants out a handful of years ago, so you guys can stop obsessing.

I was obsessing on her from before the implants.


Not to open any more wounds with yukichigai by bumping this, but have you seen "Global Frequency" yet?
(What there is of it?)
