So I wrote a reply, hit preview and then closed without posting.
I've made it through the first season of Sliders, kinda. Blindly following the Netflix streaming order, I was most of the way through when I compared to wikipedia and noticed that they Netflix streaming was missing two episodes AND that it was in broadcast order and not in intended production order.
When I started using Netflix to stream Quantum Leap it was very obvious which episodes were not on streaming and you had to request a disk. Now the only way to see that is to physically compare the lists in separate windows. Netflix is clearly pushing everything toward streaming all the time, but it is quite irritating when they randomly leave episodes off. (I'm sure it's not random, I'm sure there's a reason they're missing 20% of the first season, but I don't know or care why. I'm just irritated.)
Now to decide if I go on to season 2, track down the remaining episodes of season1, or what not.
Sliders is a cool concept, but I doubt I'll make it farther than the 3rd season as that is where I (and most reviews) remember it going off the rails.
