Those bastards at Sci-Fi Cancelled SG1!!!!!

[hyphenate]

After ten seasons, they've cancelled SG1, but renewed Atlantis. How DARE they cancel SG1!!!! I'm furious!

[Archae]

1. You mean...

They might actually go back to getting good shows, or get worse ones?

Remember "Sci-Fi Buzz?" I miss that one.
Including Harlon Ellison's rants.

[hyphenate]

8. Probably shit

Because except for a couple of shows, that's all they understand.

[Robeson]

17. I totally miss Harlon Ellison....

...and Sci-Fi Buzz. Gee, a Sci-Fi channel actually talking about Sci-Fi. Imagine that?

[Benfea]

2. I tried to get into that show. I really did.

However, my condolences go out to you in losing a beloved show. I was mad as hell when they canceled DS9 then announced they wouldn't be making any DS9 movies. Of the two Stargate shows, Atlantis was definitely the inferior one.

[liontamer]

3. again?

oh well. most shows should end after a few seasons, even if we really want them to stay on.

[hfojvt]

22. it will be brought back to life

in the sarcophagus, but you can only do that so much.

[BreweryYardRat]

4. I'm with you.

Cumguzzling fuckwits!

[hyphenate]

9. They're bastards

They don't know excellence even when it steps on their collective toe.

[Vidar]

5. When??

[hyphenate]

11. The second half of the season

will be started March 7, and the end in June.

[Vidar]

13. Thanks.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

6. That is why we chose your series.

So easy to repa... oh crap, it's dead.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. That's pretty weird, considering Sci-Fi has been the "All Stargate, All

The Time" channel the last couple years.

I hope this means they'll stop playing reruns 18 times a day.

[hyphenate]

12. Yeah

Assholes.

[lost-in-nj]

10. T'ealc

Oh my what am I going to do with out my weekly dose of T'ealc????

F'en bastards




lost

[Cobalt-60]

20. Indeed!

[arwalden]

26. Yeah... He Revs My Engine Too!

Hubba-hubba!

[ContraBass Black]

14. Didn't they just do a 200th episode making fun of the constant danger

Of cancellation and everything else about the show?

[Kickoutthejams23]

15. 10 years is a really good run.

Now canceling MST3000 that was a crime.

[sleipnir]

16. My guess. I was probably costing more than advertising revenue.

Still sucks, but as a reminder to everyone...

IT'S CALLED SHOW-BUSINESS, NOT SHOW-FUN.

After that long of a run, people get greedy all along the food-chain of TV. And, I'm guessing, Sci-Fi has figured (and probably accurately) that they can still make a killing on re-runs for the next 5 years. All they have to do if pay royalties and profit off of similar ad rates to new shows. After all, it's still a business and you wouldn't expect Whole Foods to offer 25% of their foods (at a loss) for a couple of years, why expect a TV company to do the same with it's wares?

10 years is a huge run for a TV show, but it always sucks when a good, fun show gets canceled.

[Benfea]

25. It was more of a ratings thing.

The ratings on that show have been down for some time now. It's actually lower than Stargate: Atlantis, if you can believe it.

[ComerPerro]

18. love the show, but its run its course

[Cobalt-60]

19. Fear Not, Friend

Fear not, friend. All shows are eventually canceled.
You've got 10 years of episodes to hold you.
Trekkers survived for decades on a third of that.
Thank the gods SG-1 never jumped the shark the way Andromeda did.

[hfojvt]

21. People die!

Shows too, but I never knew if that was a command or just a cruel statement of fact.

[Bassic]

23. Is there going to be a proper series finale

or are they just going to pull the plug with nothing resolved?

[arwalden]

24. But I LOVE The New Cast... Ben Browder and Claudia Black Are PERFECT!!

Richard Dean Anderson was starting to look a little haggard and seemed to be weary playing that role... he made a good decision when he left the show. Ben Browder was the perfect replacement for him. I'm not sure why Don S. Davis left, but Beau Bridges is an adequate replacement as well. I was positively delighted to see Claudia Black join the cast! (Can you tell that I'm a fan of Farscape, too?)

I'm having a difficult time in getting excited about (or even interested in) Stargate Atlantis. None of the characters appeal to me... in fact, most of them rake my nerves a little bit. --- Especially David Hewlett's character. That whiny know-it-all "Dr. Rodney McKay" just annoys the hell out of me. (I guess that's how his character is supposed to be, so that speaks well of Hewlett's acting skills, right?)

Anyway, I could live without Atlantis, but will definitely miss SG1.

[xchrom]

27. damn it! and it was getting REALLY good again.

grrraaarrrghhh -- browder was great -- the plots were taking on more interest.

damn it!

28. Found the link

I hadn't heard about this. I'd heard rumors, but nothing decisive.
