SG-1 Ends Run; Atlantis Back

SCI FI Channel confirmed that it will not renew its record-breaking original series Stargate SG-1 for another season, but will pick up its spinoff series Stargate Atlantis for a fourth year. SG-1 aired its 200th episode on Aug. 18, and the SF series is the longest-running SF show on American television.

SCI FI issued the following statement on Aug. 21: "SCI FI Channel is proud to be the network that brought Stargate SG-1 to its record-breaking 10th season. Ten seasons and 215 episodes is an astounding, Guinness World Record-setting accomplishment. Stargate is a worldwide phenomenon. Having achieved so much over the course of the past 10 years, SCI FI believes that the time is right to make this season their last on the channel. SCI FI is honored to have been part of the Stargate legacy for five years, and we look forward to continuing to explore the Stargate universe with our partners at MGM through a new season of Stargate Atlantis."

Stargate SG-1, developed for television by executive producers Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner, is based on the 1994 feature film Stargate. SG-1, which originally starred Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping and Christopher Judge, began on Showtime, then moved to SCI FI after five seasons. The current cast includes Tapping, Shanks and Judge and newcomers Ben Browder, Claudia Black and Beau Bridges. It airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

so the last season on SCI FI.... so maybe not the end of the show.. it could get picked up by another channel given its popularity

Yep! Yet another quality scifi series gets the chop...

I feel another tantrum comning on like the one I had on page 5 but can't be stuffed typing it all out so am just gonna re-post it:



I think that's made my opinion on the matter abundantly clear!

I missed the episode this past Thursday (24/08/06) as I set the vid recorder wrong. Every time I miss an ep, it turns out to be important, or have a vital bit of info that is crucial down the track. Can anyone tell me what happened?

Is there any sci-fi series made in the last 20 years that Tony Todd hasn't appeared in multiple times???

And is anyone else still as sour as me that this show has been cancelled? It seems that soon as someone tries to make a few changes to the previous format (eg: the new-look Stargate, Enterprise, etc.) it just gets cancelled. Don't people (ie: network producers & the so-called fans) realise that in order for anything to survive & keep going it has to be prepared to allow change?

I've been slowly working my way through the season 9 box-set.

Pretty good value for money; special features on each disc & audio commentaries on every episode.

One interesting point they made is that the season opener for season 9 was actually written as the intended pilot of another new Stargate series "Stargate Command". With the end of the Go'auld & Replicators story arcs, they originally felt it was time to start up a new show in it's place - "Stargate Command" to be about searching for where the Ancients came from & "Stargate: Atlantas" finding out where they went.

I see Channel 7 has already pulled it this week in favour of yet another "Lost" special. Didn't take them long this time, did it?

- Yes, I was pissed off when I saw that! Three episodes into the series and it gets bumped, and then they have the cheek to claim "sci fi doesn't rate", channel nine is just as bad. Thank god Dr Who is on the ABC.

Yes, let's hope that Aunty buys the next series too, & doesn't have it stolen by one of the commercial channels...

WTF?!!! They're actually putting it on after The Poo's Age of Love crap! Oh, FFS!!!
