What is #BringBackSliders

I started a bring back sliders petition for it to be produced as a miniseries. In a response to the interviewer Matt Sernaker, Jerry O’Connell said maybe there’s an online petition we could start. Matt coined the hashtag, and I took action and ran with it. Sign it now. Jerry O’Connell and John Rhys-Davies have publicly supported it.
