Prime Time Injustice

The sliders land on a world with little crime. Why? There are cameras everywhere and if caught by the bounty hunters, you will face the judgement of a live studio audience. If found guilty, you will be punished for the world to see. Quinn is mistaken for his doppelgänger and is captured by a sultry female bounty hunter. The group must prove his innocence before he is executed during a prime time telecast. However, his double may not even be guilty of the murder caught on camera. Don't believe everything you see. Some men, as in slimy TV producers, will do anything for ratings and the cash it brings in.

Trivia
In Justice World, the major Hollywood "stars" mentioned include Linwood Boomer (who, as Quinn correctly states, played the "blind guy" Adam Kendall in Little House on the Prairie (1974)), Jill Whelan (who played Captain Stubing's daughter Vicki in The Love Boat (1977)) and the character actor Arnold Stang (best known for providing the voice of the title character in Top Cat (1961)). Four years after this episode aired, Boomer gained greater fame as the creator of Malcolm in the Middle (2000).

Goofs
When the sliders escape the execution, they are landing in the Little Green Men World, but the person with the camera is clearly shown to be neither.
