Why Did Co-Creator Robert K. Weiss Leave Sliders?
Actually…he never did. Many never realized that St. Clare Entertainment was Robert K. Weiss’ production company, and it stayed with Sliders through its entire life. RK was more hands on with the series during its first season (when he was credited as an Executive Producer), but after that he decided to concentrate on other responsibilities (including his position as president of Broadway Video and his work on several Saturday Night Live movie projects). Mostly it came down to time, and RK just didn’t have time to run the show on such an intimate level. RK even bowed out of the hands on operation of St. Clare Entertainment in later years (leaving operation to his partners)…but he never quit keeping up with Sliders and still regularly converses with Tormé to this day (the two were friends prior to Sliders anyway).
