Save Stargate SG-1

If you’re into gadgets and gizmos, there’s a pretty good probability that you’re into SciFi, and if you’re into SciFi, then you should be into Stargate SG-1, and if you’re not, hop over to Amazon and start picking up those DVDs now because you’re missing out on a great show! Anyway, as you may already know, the SciFi channel decided to cancel the show for some vague reasons. Not long after that, the good folks over at the Save Stargate SG-1 campaign stood up their website and started collecting donations in order to fund their campaign. They’ve already been able to place an ad in Variety magazine. So if you’d like to see this show continue its glorious run, head over to the campaign, write a letter and make a donation.

David Johnston says:
It really didn’t do much for Star Trek. I don’t mean to be overly negative, but this will probably follow in its footsteps.

As a fan of the show, I am not too peeved about the cancellation. I would rather it go out with a bang while it is still good than it “jump the shark” and go down hill. 10 years is a good run.
Besides, from what I am reading, MGM has plans to turn it into a Star Trek-like franchise, so it is not dead yet.

MGM has also said they are still looking for another channel to pick it up. SciFi just cancelled the broadcast, MGM owns the rights and can take it elsewhere.
I did read something funny on a site about it being a SciFi original show….hmmm…didnt it start on Showtime?

If they were going to cancel it they should have done it when Richard Dean Anderson left! That was a HUGE mistake letting him leave. Make him sign a 30 year contract next time

I was initially bummed to hear about the cancellation, but it’s been 10 years and they are still putting out some good stuff. I’d rather the show go out on a good note (a la Star Trek: TNG) than beating every possible dime out of the franchise (The Simpsons).
While Ben Browder is OK, Richard Dean Anderson is really who “made” the series work, and the chemistry with the rest of the team. Vala is fun, too, but it’s just not the same without O’Neill around.
And, besides, Battlestar starts up again on the 5th of October ….
