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. In this episode, the audience learns why the Sliders will now be able to slide anywhere between San Francisco and L.A. However, Fox opted to air "Rules of the Game" first, since it was a more action-oriented episode. For the intended order of the episodes, see
No. in season column. The broadcast viewing order is as follows:
Season 4 (1998–1999) This is the first season to be aired on
Sci Fi Channel and from this season on, the episodes were aired in the intended order.
Season 5 (1999–2000) ==Notes==
