Kind of a sad day for Sci-Fi fans. I enjoyed Stargate the movie… but it wasn’t until like 3 years ago that I got turned on to the TV spin off “Stargate SG-1”. I just started watching the old reruns of the first few seasons and got hooked on it.
They managed to create a really interesting universe with some great mythology behind them (come on… little Alien guys who are the basis of Viking lore? How cool is that?). SO yeah… even though the show was a bit on the cheese side, it had some great appeal. Great enough that is is the single longest running Sci-Fi show (continuously running) on North American television (they just had their 200th episode). Well… all good things come to an end.
The last 2 seasons of the show have been weak, as they normally are when a long running show suddenly goes through some major changes, and the show has now been canceled and won’t be picked up for another season. I’ve never known a lot of people who watched it… so I’m kinda surprised the show lasted this long.
