I enjoyed it a lot too but sadly it was on at 7 p.m. right after football on Fox and when games went into overtime they showed the entire game as well as a bunch of post game studio stuff and joined Space: Above and Beyond "already in progress". So we'd get half the show or less most weeks since Fox was so insistent on starting their prime time slate at 7 p.m. to be different than anyone else but also trying to show they could do justice to the NFL. If they had just put Space on at 8 pm or on another night I think it would have run for a few more seasons. My father watched some of it after football and he liked it despite himself since he usually thought sci-fi was for kids.

Fox is odd, in that their entertainment branch is extremely dirty, cussy and mostly liberal free love F the Man in its ideology. Their news branch tries to be just the opposite politically, but is similar in presentation. Irreverent. FireFly was very obviously based on Asa Carter novels from the 70s. However either the network ass kissers, I mean associate producers, were too dumb to realize that...or they, like Oprah thought Asa was great... Until somebody told her he had been George Wallace's speechwriter and was a KKK grand dragon in his former Eastern life. I think they mixed up the episodes on airing to hide the Frank and Jessie James hero against the evil Pinkerton Yankee Oppressors following the Civil War vibe, or they just wanted it to die by poor viewership, thus nobody has to take blame.

@@scaper8 I think that's the plan. The Professor and Wade had been killed off and Quinn was basically killed (or something) so to have them all back they would have to ignore whole chunks of the past show (and I think most of us would be happy with that). I think the idea would be to take it back to it's roots, what the show was intended to be back in season one.

Sliders was all about alternate realities and sometimes alternate versions of our heroes. No reason why we cannot have Arturo and Quinn back, probably just not the ones from the original series (though potentially otherwise effectively identical, save for age!)

Patrick Answers Questions No One Asked don’t remember Out of This World myself, but I do remember My Secret Identity and Small Wonder. I’d love to see a reunion movie for My Secret Identity. Where we get to see what happens to the characters after the series ended. Does the main character actually become a superhero? Does his mom and sister ever learn his secret? Does the next door neighbor and the mom ever become an item (it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the show, but if I remember correctly I think that the neighbor had a crush on the mom)? I think that would be a very interesting made for TV movie.

Let's not forget the sci-fi/comedy show about teenage aliens in a red corvette trying to pick up Earth chicks while avoiding the US government's agents titled "They Came from Outer Space" (1990-1991) or the show about a paralyzed superhero with the power-suit (M.A.N.T.I.S.) that came out over twenty years before "Black Panther" in 1994. They were both fun in their own rights. But for a show that was AWESOME and ahead of its time and cancelled *WAY TOO SOON* and *WAY, WAY* underrated, you are talking about "Nowhere Man", back in 1995. It was so good.
