Sliders (1995)
Trivia: During the intro for the Season 2 episodes, Quinn talks about some of the worlds that they have visited. When he does this, a clip of the episode is played. The first two match up, but the third, he describes as "a world where San Francisco is a maximum security prison" and footage of a different episode is played. It's the footage of the world where a virus has killed most males and the men in the group are kept in a breeding center for repopulation. It may be a little similar, if not for the episode in which San Francisco really is a maximum security prison, which is what one of the characters says verbatim after confusing reactions from the Sliders.
