Does anybody remember a show from the 90's, could have been fox, where people would connect into a parallell dimentoin through a phone connected to a certain frequency, and would have to solve some riddle to get out, the show was advertised with someone falling in a city, and i think that in the first show, someone was in a taxi that went into a river, and when the pulled a tub-stopper plug, then the got out just in time.. (yes i know, quite close to the movie the game, huh?)

thanks in advance

There's really no connection whatsoever between that description and Sliders. Sliders was about travelling to a parallell Earth, not really another dimension. And the first episode of Sliders had nothing to do with a bathtub draining.

After re-reading my post, I did sound a bit "know-it-allish" didn't I? Sorry about that. I have noticed that a lot of people looking for the names of shows here give descriptions that are way off so your guess was better than anything else that anyone else came up with.

Would you believe that wasn't really me? That it was my double from an alternate Earth?

sorry, I was a way from the comp for a moment in time, the reason I was a little vague about the description is to see whether i got any sort of reply or not,they tap into the new dimention by connecting a cordless phone to a certain internet protocol, i'm pretty sure If i can remember it correctly the 'tub draining scene' was sort of like 'the game' with was that kirk douglass, a taxi was drowning in the water, and tyhe person was stuck there, and was drowning and about to die, then upon seing the plug right before expiring and pulling it, they wake up from the stuper broughtr upon them by that internet signal. The preview from the show opened up with a man falling right in the middle of a city. In the game, kirk douglass uses a strange part the he found inside of a clown doll to roll up the window and escape, i can try to remember more, I was brief to see what the respenses would be like

thanks in advance

You've still got me on this one, Geary. I've racked my brain on 90's sci-fi with similar themes - VR5, Deadly Games, and the like (in my desperaton to find any thread resembling your description). I can't make the connection. I'll research this further when I have spare time. Maybe someone else who remembers the show will see this thread. I really would like to figure this one out (or see someone else do so).

If it was a FOX series from that time period it probably only last 3 or 4 episodes. FOX is still notorious for having 30 new series each season and then by 6 weeks into the season there are only 5 or 6 left.
