Accompanying them on various leaps through time and space are spectacular guest stars including Adrienne Barbeau (Escape from New York), Shane West (ER) and Malcolm Jamal-Warner (Jeremiah). It’s an absolute must-have for every sci-fi fan!
March 25, 2008 marked the release of Sliders‘ fourth season on DVD.
Specifications
Sliders: The Fourth Season comes on five DVDs. Each DVD is has four or five episodes on it, all presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 monaural audio. English subtitles are also provided. The DVDs present the show as it was broadcast; namely, a standard 4:3 (1.33:1) ratio. Total runtime is 994 minutes.
Please note: There are no bonus features of any kind on this box set. All you get when you buy is the 22 fourth season episodes. While that’s pretty embarrassing—why not include the making-of featurette created to promote the move to the Sci-Fi Channel?—this release does restore all of the scenes cut for American broadcast that were included internationally. That’s something like 30 minutes of Sliders you may not have seen before.
Discography
The packaging looks great, and it’s finally easy to get to each disc. You slide the cover off and an easy-to-read legend of what appears on each disc available. They actually put some effort into this as there’s a logline for each episode, and accessing each disc is like turning a page in a book. Take care when closing it, however, as the “pages” are ultimately glued to the back cover, and the pages can wedge together, pushing Disc 5’s DigiTray off the glue.
