Ten Sliders Spin-off Possibilities

TOP TEN SLIDERS SPIN-OFF POSSIBILITIES10. "Quinn Mallory: Interdimensional Man of Mystery"
Follows the adventures of "Howlin' Man" Mallory from "The Alternateville Horror", and his companion Miss Shaggie Beckett. "Yeah, baby!"
9. "Henry and Company"
Features everyone's favourite Sliding Dog. If you think the title is corny, wait until you hear the theme song!
8. "Sliders: The Lost Worlds"
Chronicles the worlds in between episodes, i.e. the ones where they make all that money and buy all those clothes. Not to be confused with "The Lost World: Sliders", which features Malcolm from "Dinoslide" battling dinosaurs.
7. "Egyptian Timer"
Like its namesake, this is a reworked "Remote Control". Stars Kari Wuhrer as herself and Robert Floyd as Colin/Quinn.
6. "St. Clare's Run"
Originally called "Logan's Run", until the producers realized it was taken. "Colin's Run" was also considered, until the producers realized having Colin run would make it a slapstick comedy.
5. "Van"
Traces the journey of the van from "Love Gods" as it slides from one owner to the next. Not to be confused with the similar spin-off "Dead Man's Van", which follows the van from "Dead Man Sliding".
4. "Fantasy Camp #91-9"
Malcolm Macdowell stars as an enigmatic theme park owner who helps stressed-out visitors relax by hypnotizing them into thinking they're Sherlock Holmes and then controlling their brains with magical glowing pocketwatches. Wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense - why Malcolm Macdowell?!
3. "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou: The Series"
Explains the continuity gap between "World Killer" and "Oh Brother" (that is, that the dialogue indicates the two eps take place one after the other, but they all wear different clothes at the start of "Oh Brother".) It seems the three sliders spent years searching for Colin. In France, this spin-off will be titled "Où est Charlie?"
2. "The Net ...works Have Run Out of Ideas"
Brooke Langton stars as a parallel Daelin Richards whose life on her home world was erased, forcing her to slide randomly searching for the Kromaggs who did this to her. Also featuring the voice of Jerry O'Connell as a Quinn double called "The Sorceror".
1. "Stargate SG-1"
Four adventurers, including a scientist and a female military captain, visit other worlds by leaping through a blue-coloured vortex. Actually, this show is already in production ... It's called "Sliders"!Blinker 7:-)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who watched "Remote Control" in the 1980s! I also particularly enjoyed the joke about Charlie's running, the Net joke, heck, I enjoyed the whole thing! Keep up the good work!ThomasMalthus

I especially liked 6, "St. Clare's Run," although Colin's running *has* improved. And 8 was a good one too, although the one that made me laugh the hardest was 10!I also noticed the Stargate thing... I've only seen the show twice, but I thought the blue vortex & the travelling from world-to-world idea was just a little too much like Sliders.
thanks for the laughs :)ls
Stargate
vs Stargate-sg1

Stargate is a movie that was produced before Sliders. SG1 is a remake of the movie, so dont get mixt up with accusing it of riping of Sliders. There are a lot of similarities though... makes me wonder...Oh well, enough of my rambling

I wasn't confusing SG1 with Stargate... when I said Stargate I was referring to Stargate SG1... sorry to cause any misunderstanding.ls

Stargate to SLIDERS

Thundergirl is correct. SLIDERS partially borrowed from the feature film Stargate. It also is based in part on two episodes of the 1960s TWILIGHT ZONE that explored other dimensions -- "Little Girl Lost" (3rd season) and to a much greater extent the hour-long 4th season episode "The Parallel". While we're at it, how about the parallel universe episodes of Star Trek ("Mirror, Mirror") and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? And those are just celluloid examples! The list goes on and on throughout sci-fi history.
