On August 23, 2007, Netflix Instant View provided all five seasons of Sliders available for computer streaming, although not all episodes will be streamed. Two season 1 episodes ("Last Days", and "The Weaker Sex") are missing with a note in their place stating that the DVD is required to view the episode. Although in Netflix's instant list after the first episode, "Pilot", there appears to be two additional episodes only on DVD, these are actually "Pilot Part 1" and "Pilot Part 2" which are already in fact bundled in the first instant view episode, "Pilot". All episodes of the remaining seasons (2-5) are streaming available via Netflix.
On March 12, 2008, Universal Studios added Sliders season one to their free online viewing service, Hulu. Season two was added on May 8, 2009, and season three was added on July 2, 2009.
In late 2008, season five and eventually all five seasons were made available through iTunes TV Shows store.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:
“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
