Source-derived summary

The following is a list of episodes for the Fox and Sci Fi Channel original series Sliders. The series aired on Fox from March 1995 to May 1997 and on the Sci Fi Channel from June 1998 to February 2000. A total of 88 episodes were produced.

Series overview

Episodes

Season 1 (1995)

Fox changed the intended order of the episodes, beginning with episodes they thought would draw in audiences. This often causes confusion and sometimes chronological errors in continuity with respect to the story arc (for example, episode 5 "Prince of Wails" opens with the resolution to the cliffhanger brought about in episode 6 "Summer of Love").

Season 2 (1996)

As in Season 1, Fox again broadcast the episodes out of their intended order, this time even changing the finale. For the intended order of the episodes, see No. in season column.

Season 3 (1996–1997)

Again, Fox aired this season's episodes out of order. For instance, "Double Cross" was filmed as the premiere for Season Three.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Sliders episodes” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1995, 1997, 1998, 2000—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where List, Sliders and episodes can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2477386. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995, 1997, 1998 and 2000.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
