Ten Live-Action Dramas That Deserve An Animated Spin-Off More Than The X-Files

Sliders is another FOX drama from the ‘90s that it’s honestly surprising hasn’t been rebooted or turned out into its own franchise, a la Stargate. The show’s premise is very simple and each episode features the efforts of a team of lost travelers as they cross over through a wormhole into a different version of Earth, with the hopes that it’s the Prime Earth that they’ve come from. Sliders could feature the original team of characters, but it could also embrace the B-Team angle and be centered around a team of less competent individuals who have been sent to locate the missing team. This is a series, much like with Star Trek: Lower Decks, where ineptitude works especially well. Making a Sliders spin-off animated also allows the show’s premise to truly not hold back and they can visit weird and wild versions of Earth that would be too elaborate for the ‘90s series. The animated angle could even be justified in the series by saying that the new Earths that they visit are a part of a universe that’s actually animated. The success of an animated Sliders could also be the push that the series has needed to help it get a proper revival
