A good link - TV links.
I've been not surfing these past few days and instead have been watching TV shows online with the help of this aggregator. Some of the episodes are disappearing fast, especially the ones on the Daily Motion servers. The stuff on Veoh seems to be working OK so far for me.
Sliders is something I've been watching and is more enjoyable than I remember it. The tenets of the Sliders gang (in its various permutations) seem to be that Friendship and "being there" for your mates is the most important thing in life, as well as the oft repeated "there's more to life than happiness and contentment" idea. And it is interesting how often Wade (one of the characters from the first few series) needs rescuing. Also there are more non-white characters in Sliders than in any TV series (US) that I've seen before; characters who are black or chinese not because their race is part of the plot, their race is incidental, it's refreshing. (In the episode in which America is ruled by monarchy, the king and queen of The USA are Black.)

I used to love Sliders, I never caught the later series so I only know the core gang from the early days. The show always seemed interested in pushing at the boundaries of its format and doing new things, which I like a lot.
