Universal announces Knight Rider and Sliders sets
From DavisDVD:
Universal Home Video has just announced two more great - and long-awaited - TV shows for release on DVD. Due on August 3rd are Knight Rider: Season One and Sliders: Seasons 1 & 2. Knight Rider will arrive as a four-disc set featuring fullscreen transfers and Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono audio. The only bonus material revealed so far is the "Knight Rider 2000" TV movie which will be available on disc 4. Retail is $59.98. Sliders will be presented in fullscreen and Dolby Digital Surround and will be spread over six discs. Bonus materials have yet to be announced. Retail is $89.98. |
BTW, for those who are wondering:
Knight Rider: Season 1 = 22 episodes Sliders: Seasons 1 & 2 = 23 episodes The Knight Rider set seems like a good deal, but Sliders is way overpriced, IMO. Rob |
:up: for <b>SLIDERS</b>
:down: for the pricing! (actually, when you compare it to X-Files or Sopranos or Oz, the pricing doesn't look quite so bad, but I was hoping for less.) |
Knight Rider pricing looks good. I would guess, $43.99 at Costco.
Looking forward to that one. Glad they included the TV Movie. |

I know I've said it about a hundred times before, but where's "The Rockford Files?" Universal promised us this in 2002! It's now 2004! <sigh>

May pass on Sliders for now even though I would not mind having the set. Way too pricey though. :(
Guess I will wait and see what the actual purchase price will be with discounts ala Amazon.com. |

For Sliders, I'm guessing about $70 or so.
|
Well it's about freaking time on Sliders. Wasn't that set supposed to be released last year? Better late than never I guess so I'll pick it up on the 3rd.
|
I'll probably just netflix sliders
|
Knight Rider on DVD. Nice. When I was a kid, I would drop everything and anything to watch that show.
Now I'm glad I only bought a select few of those Columbia House VHS tapes of KR. The premiere, the ones with KARR, the ones with Goliath, the one that started the last season when he gets turned into a convertible and got that "super pursuit mode." Yeah, it occured to me most of my favorite KR eps involve KITT getting destroyed. |
<strike>How many seasons of Sliders were there? I don't recall there being a whole lot.</strike>
Edit: Found info below. :) |

Originally posted by lisadoris 5 alltogether: 3 on FOX and 2 on Sci-Fi Jerry O'Connell was around for only 4 seasons. Not sure I'd be too interested in buying the 5th season. I'd be surprised if it didn't come with season 4 though. |
Season 5 of Sliders was really awful.
|
Originally posted by matome True but when you compare it to Buffy/Angel...:( I'll end up getting both anyway. What's with the price difference between Sliders and Knight Rider? THey both have the same amount of episodes. So, no - I'll pass on Sliders (rental, but no more than that) but Gimmie the Knight Rider! |
I'll just pick up the seasons with Kari Wuhrer :drool:
|
[QUAGMIRE] Oh Yeah [/QUAGMIRE] :D
|
I want the Sliders season 1 and 2 set, and <i>maybe</i> 3, but I can live without 4 and 5 (especially as things became so convoluted because of off-screen issues). However, there's no way in hell I'm paying that much for a set of 23 episodes.
Sliders was a show that really could have benefited from a little focus. |
Liked the early years of Sliders but the price is waaay too high. As with Quantum Leap, I can wait on this set until the marketing folks come to their senses.
|
Sliders for sure!
|
Too bad they priced Sliders so high. Would have easily bought the first 3 seasons for Buffy/Angel prices but not at that price.
|
I'll definitely be picking up Knight Rider! :thumbsup:
|
Excellent news ! I'll definitely pick up the first 4 seasons of Sliders.
|
I'm definately going to buy Knight Rider, will wait for Sliders to have a price drop.
|
:up: for both!

Nice covers.
What was the season when OConnel's really ugly brother started to appear ? I think it was his real life brother (cant remember now) :) |
I think that was in Season 4, if I'm not mistaken. I stopped watching when it moved to Sci-fi, cuz I didn't have the channel at the time, and I definitely don't remember him being on any of the shows I saw.

Knight Rider I'd only pick up for my old childhood nostalgia reasons, and Sliders is something I'd buy if and only if I ended up getting everything that's on my wish list right now, so both of these are both a big 'no' for me.
|
Here's an actual pic of the Sliders set (instead of a rendering). It actually looks quite good. I know it's only 1 day early, but hey.....

Beat ya, I picked up all three seasons of Sliders for $30 shipped at the DDD sale last week :lol: Forgot all about this show in the past three years.
|
Woah, its that cheap? I thought I saw it for $19.99 AT Wal-Mart last week! I'll grab it tomorrow.
|
I nabbed them at $20/pop I think it was at the JR sale a probably a year and half ago. Knight Rider is so cheesy now if you try to watch it. Honestly, I loved it growing up, but it's not worth more than about $20 now.
