Sliders, Season 1

Sliders earned a substantial fan base thanks to its intriguing central premise - the existence of multiple alternate realities - and impressive special effects. Quinn (Jerry O’Connell) is a college student who accidentally discovers a portal into alternate dimensions. With the help of his professor (John Rhys-Davies), a spunky Girl Friday (Sabrina Lloyd), and a soul crooner (Cleavant Derricks), he encounters a host of strange parallel Earths in the first season, including one where the British still control the United States and one where society is strictly matriarchal and the sliders try to start a "men’s movement".
