On February 3rd, 2019 Sliders is set to expire from the steaming service Hulu.

The show has been on the site for several years since 2008 and even in it’s early beginnings when we could watch for free. Yep that’s right, if you don’t remember or aren’t aware you could watch many TV shows and movies for free on the site including Sliders in the early years or at least the first three seasons. While many shows can often re-list right after expiration Hulu doesn’t have any public comment to this.

On the bright side a channel in the UK called the Horror Channel has taken stride in bringing the show to its platform. It may not be in your country but at least its getting the views and in the long run that’s important, especially for Universal Studios to see (the owner of the series).

I wanted to take the time to ask each and everyone who uses the streaming service Hulu to help join me in the upcoming #SlidersRewatch. It is perhaps the last Sliders Rewatch we can do coming from the Hulu service. That’s not to say we can’t have any in the future with DVDs, etc. I’m sure Hulu reports views and statistics to Universal about each episode’s number of views and more. So it’s critical we make a last stance.

Please check below for the #SlidersRewatch date as well as a brand new Sliders petition tribute video. Follow along on Twitter using the hashtag #SlidersRewatch and don’t forget to share the video. You can also show your support by tweeting to @Hulu_Support and expressing your desire for the show. Let’s hope this isn’t the last we see of our beloved show on the site.

In one hand it’s a victory, in another a possible defeat but let’s keep pounding the pavement for Sliders. It’s an incredible show with intriguing and adventurous ideas. Since John Rhys-Davies and Jerry O’Connell are on board for the Bring Back Sliders petition and asking people to sign it I can’t help but feel all is NOT lost. I’m not giving up and I hope you won’t either. Through all the mire in television today I believe our show can live on. It can be brought to life in a way we’ve never dreamed of before. It’s something our future generations can cherish for years to come.

Please don’t sit idly by. Let’s tweet Hulu, let’s ask others to sign the petition, tell people on your Facebook!, we do make a difference. I’ve seen it myself and at times even I didn’t think I was making an impression. I was wrong. Let’s move forward like we never have before.
