Give it up for Stargate
by Mark Dillon
page 15
We're all well aware of the odds against a healthy life for a Canadian drama series. Just getting one to air is an impressive feat. And then, if the show is good enough and the broadcaster cares enough to invest some thought and resources behind its promotion, it may actually catch fire with viewers and get renewed.
So what, then, would be the Holy Grail for a domestic drama series? To make it to five seasons? It rarely happens. Cold Squad took a final bow after seven. Da Vinci's Inquest also got to blow out seven candles, with a bonus for one season of Da Vinci's City Hall, which may return in some form.
But another show shot in B.C. has trumped them all. So, hats off to the men and women of Stargate Command, who recently soared to a milestone 200th episode in the 10th season of smash hit Stargate SG-1. (See our special report, starting on p. 27.)
