What can the fans do to help SAVE SG-1?

[FoolishPleasure]

What has happened to the save SG1 site? It hasn't been updated in weeks.

[TheNarims]

We don't know. That is something we have been asking ourselves too.

[Nathan]

Alison seems to have disappeared or is ill. I'll try get back in contact with her to see what's happening.

I have been away due to family issues recently but am more or less back now. I'll see what can be done to bring the site back to life.

[quicksilver]

I've written to everyone on the list. Our problem is that A) They have made up their minds and B) They are unwilling to admit they have made a mistake.

[GateLadyM]

The SaveStargate site it totally dead and people are wondering about their donated money. Has anyone discoverd what happened to the steerers?

[Nathan]

The money was used for variety ads. There are some things afoot hence the quietness on the site. Things will be brought back shortly :)

[PG15]

Something...good?

[FoolishPleasure]

Something...good?

There was news about Amanda Tapping this morning, but the SGA fans aren't thrilled, especially after the Jewel Staite stuff.

[PG15]

I don't think that's it though.

[Unamed]

anyone make a video to send into mgm

[The Ori]

Watch the original show at the original premier times!!

[Less.than.3.SG-1]

We need to be watching the syndicated epis as much as possible. I hear they are watching those ratings to see how bad we wanna keep it.

[miss_kaylee]

Did anyone read about BSG changing time slots? I found it on comingsoon.net.

"
Battlestar Galactica Moving to Sundays
Source: SCI FI Wire
November 21, 2006


SCI FI Channel has announced that "Battlestar Galactica" will move to a new timeslot starting January 21, 2007: Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT, following the premiere of the new original series "The Dresden Files" at 9 p.m.

"Battlestar Galactica" has been airing episodes of its current third season on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT."

[MechaThor]

A Group on My Space has an idea of contacting the BBC (a UK based broadcaster). Apparantly the BBC has shown a past intrest in SG-1 and if enougth people ask for it to be shown they may take it on. This would be good as other sci fi shows like Farscape, DR Who and Tourchwood have been very successful on the BBC.

The reason they are asking the bbc isnsomething to do with sci fi not letting other channels in the US show it. But i don't know if that is true or not?

What do you think?

[TheNarims]

It is true that SciFi does not allow MGM to show SG-1 anywhere else in the USA.
But to contact BBC is a very good idea.

What do you think?
The BBC have indicated that they are unwilling to invest the money in the show for "numerous reasons" as well as it's a very expensive proposition for them

It is true that SciFi does not allow MGM to show SG-1 anywhere else in the USA.
But to contact BBC is a very good idea.

Under the terms of the original contract MGM are unable to air the show in the US through any other network other than SciFi.

[miss_kaylee]

I am sorry if this question has already been asked but how long does Sci Fi hold the rights the show after its is cancelled?

[TheNarims]

We think so, otherwise Mark Stern would not have had to say that MGM can't sell SG-1 to another network inside the USA.

[roddieb]

I have started my own campaign for this worthwhile cause. I figure another approach can't hurt, can it? I am giving all fans an opportunity to record and send an audio postcard to Sci Fi and MGM officials. These recordings will be available on my website and will be compiled on a CD or CDs and sent to the Sci Fi and MGM officials. Fans can go to http://www.KeepTheGateOpen.com to add their voice to this cause.

If I read the artical right, (reading diabled--I never know) then Skiffy is looking at the demographics from where the support callers for stargate are coming from.

If they get enough in a densly populated area--big city--that would hold more water than someone calling from the boondocks.

So, my call won't count! I live in the boondocks!

Everyone should call. They're focusing on densely populated areas, but every person counts. So make the call.

The idea with the calls is great, but we don't think that our english is good enough to make a phone call in english.
But maybe we will make this audio message thing.

[PengYn]

:tecmate:
Not sure how much a gal in the UK can do, but I will continue to sign any petition, write any email, and make my phone calls. Phone bill? Eh who cares. I'll just ask everyone else to phone me at Christmas. I'd rather spend my pennies saving SG1. Roll on Season 11!

buy the dvd movies next year lots of them

Lets not pretend this is the same thing. Enterprise was cancelled randomly, while it was improving...that was wrong.

SG-1 had to end sometime, and its much better to go out on a highpoint, before its driven into the ground. Then fans can remember it fondly. I hate to be blunt, but studios know that fans will always oppose the ending of a series like SG-1, but will do what they have to do anyways.

[FoolishPleasure]

With the latest news that Michael Shanks has been approached to star in the new spinoff, and Amanda appearing in more than a handful of SGA episodes, does this mean SG1 is definitely dead? Do we even both talking to Hammer's office?

[Farscapefan]

Who airs Stargate in Germany?

RTL II, Wednesday evenings.

Enterprise's ratings were damn low at the end; that was the reason.

And no, the majority of fans IMHO will not oppose the end of the SG1 as long as it ends on THEIR terms (they being the producers).

[Orlin2000]

In light of recent news concerning mgm's intention to continue sg1 with dvd movies(more than just two, possibly 1 new one each year) i feel it would be appropriate to say that.. for gods sake buy them when they come out. If they do well there will be more sg1 so plz dont download them (unless on i tunes, instead steal other things, a womans purse, a babies candy, a yuppies watch but plz not stargate. thankyou.

[TechnoWraith]

Well. you do have a point. In reality, we could only end up with one movie or mini-series. Remember Farscape? It was reported that the Farscape Series would be continued with more than one movie or mini-series. So far, the only thing Scapers got was PeaceKeeper Wars. Hopefully, MGM will hold true to it's word and produce quality movies. Nothing will destroy stargate more than a rushed, shoddy movie or mini-series.

Oh yeah, about that stealing, shopping carts are much more fun to steal than purses, candy or watches. ;)

[Ganthet Jr.]

I'm all for an series of SG-1 movies if they're done well. I'd almost prefer that over a Season 11. When I buy them, it'll be in support of them making more SG-1 movies, not a Season 11, but that's just me. I suppose I see the concentrated budget for one movie a little more alluring than a budget spread out over a season.

[nell]

Please read the two articles posted on GW news. As I understand it, there will be two movies but there will not be a season 11. The franchise states that more movies will be produced annually depending on the sales of DVDs.

So, back to this thread's topic: What can the fans do to help SAVE SG-1? Not a darn thing! It is not our responsibility as fans to save SG-1 at this point!

Rather, it is in the hands of TPTB to produce a HIGH QUALITY MOVIE that the fans will purchase on DVD!!! If anybody can SAVE SG-1 it will have to be TPTB!!!

[TheNarims]

We are not very happy about the movies. It is better than ending it forever, but we rather wanted an eleventh season.
And there is one question we can't get out of our head, what are they going to do in the movies? According to Michael Shanks the Ori story is going to be ended in the first one and the second one is going to be a stand alone. So is there only going to be a movie series of stand alones?
To our oppinion this would be not as interesting as movies which are connected to each other.
In this stand alone, according to Michael Shanks, there will be a time travelling Ba'al, who steals the Stargate, and SG-1 tries to get the Stargate back. Maybe this is the start of another Goa'uld story, but we think, that this is getting boring too. They are hunting the Goa'uld for ten years now. So it is time to stop it.

[Ganthet Jr.]

You say "we" and "us" a lot. Who exactly are you speaking for?

[Margaret]

Well, "TheNarims" is plural . . . are plural . . . :rolleyes:

[TheNarims]

Thank you for the explanation Magaret. We are really two persons, who are having fun together. But we explained it to TheInnkeeper by PM yet.

[RockinHobbit]

(Sorry- I double posted this in the cancellation thread... but I didn't see this one and it's definitely relevant here.)

I started watching Firefly when they re-ran it on SciFi about two years ago... and I was really disappointed that anyone would cancel such a great show. I think even sci-fi media is more and more buying into that 'most common denominator' demographic and forgetting that sci-fi fans are never going to beat out the drama/dumb comedy loving, 18-24 middle class American demographic in the ratings.

So, I was really proud that Stargate SG-1 was still going strong, and this really upsets me. It all happened so fast, there wasn't a lot of time to try and change their minds. And I think the recent seasons have some bugs to work out, but I think SG-1 still has amazing interest and potential, and I hate to see it die.

It would be amazing if we could all take a cue from those Firefly fans- they got a major motion picture, even featuring the original actors, with the rights changing hands which is really tough legally I guess, after four years of cancellation! Maybe I'm just stubborn, and I know we've all been doing what we can with tissue boxes, emails, letters, and petitions, but I think we can have hope that unlike those 'something for everyobdy' networks, science fiction programming can be influenced by sheer willpower of the fans. We Sci-Fi fans are known for being dedicated, obsessive, resourceful, and organized. You don't see conventions for 'popular' shows like The O.C. or even that Jake 2.0/Supernatural 'dumbed down' sci-fi that seems to be dominating these days (no offense to fans of these shows, they're just not the well-thought out, enduring Sci-Fi that Stargate has taught me to expect)...

The point? I honestly think that if we want it, we can keep Stargate SG-1 going. It would take a lot, and I get the feeling some people don't want it to because of seasons 9 and 10 or because it's had a good long run... but please don't give up.

[TheNarims]

You are totally right.

There is no really good scifi series on air at the moment. Supernatural is some kind of the X-Files, but it is much simpler and not that interesting as the X-Files have been in the first seasons.

It is the same with "Eureka", this new show of the scifi channel. We have seen the pilot of the series and have come to the opinion that it is never going to be as good as Stargate. There might have been some potential in it, but it was not used (if it has not changed).

It is also true that a scifi series is never going to beat a series like "Desperate Housewives" in the ratings.

And now that Stargate SG-1 is gone. We still have to support the franchise so that it can go on as good as it has been over the years, so that we get at least one good scifi series. We can't let both the gates down now and as the fate of the seasons of SG-1 seems to be sealed, we still have to carry on fighting so that the DVD movies can be successful and maybe we are getting at least some more.

[Unamed]

when the movies come out we need to buy multiple copies of the dvd's if we have birthdays coming up etc ask for the dvds even if you have them already, then give your spare ones away to your friends ect to try get them into stargate. we need to pester play.com, sendit, amazon and loads of other dvd stores asking them for release dates etc. and when the dvd's come out grt in contact with mgm and the writers asking for more.

[PegasusPrincess]

I think that's sweet, but impractical. You can't make people like something just because you do (believe me, I've tried!).

I think what it comes back to is that SG1 had a big enough fan base to keep going for ten long years. If TPTB market the DVD's at the level that the series has EARNED over the years, and enough fans, past & present, know about it and buy the DVD's then sales/popularity shouldn't be an issue.

From what I've read on many threads, there is a general feeling of discontent with the level of marketing/advertising & support (scheduling) that SciFi provided SG1 the last couple of years.
Now it's up to MGM to market/advertise their 'most important franchise' with the respect that title deserves.
Let's hope they get it out there & make sure everyone knows about it - we'll do our part letting friends & family know - but they have to do theirs too.

Until the SciFi channel comes out with a better explanation, I can only say that their lack of promotion, break-up of SciFi Fridays, and the timing of the cancelation leads to one conclusion= They wanted to rid themselves of a show they were not gaining enough of a profit margin. To say that Stargate was NOT making them money is ridiculous, to say that the SciFi channel was not making enough share of the profits is not. I think many people were wondering this before the season even began. In fact I only found out that Stargate was returning by chance, I surfed over to this site the day the new season started. Otherwise I would have missed it.

Now considering how BSG has faltered airing alone, hopefully TPTBs at MGM will have enough sense to realise they still have a very active franchise on their hands, and not a dead one (A la Star Trek for Paramount).

The real question at heart now is what is SciFi going to do with Atlantis. I personally feel that they will give the show one more year until they have a replacement lined up. I think we will all know the answer to this by how much attention SciFi pays when Atlantis returns to finish this season, and starts the next season. If it is the same old as last year, then maybe we should jump the gun and start a petition directly to MGM to have the show moved to a different channel.

I think you might be right, but the real question is whether MGM have (lacking foresight) contractually found themsleves in the same position as they were in with SG1.
If it's again a part of their contract with SciFi that SGA cannot be moved or shopped to another US station, same as SG1, the position they'd be in, WHEN SciFi ruin SGA would be the same as it was with SG1, wouldn't it?
If so, would it make a difference petitioning now?

[maylet]

The only thing that we can do is to wait for the movies, it's really bad that we're not going to have another season.

[Arctic Goddess]

Consider this: Vancouver legalizes the use of marijuana in 2004. This is around the same time that major and rather odd decisions were being made about Stargate. The trend continues today. Coincidence? I think not.

[IRQ]

I know Gateworld has reported the news (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/08/istargate_sg-1i_cancelled_iatlan.shtml) and gotten it confirmed and all, but I'm still a bit... stunned. Wow.

And Atlantis survives? Also interesting. Wonder how this will affect things...

SCFI has a problem with scedualing, they get shows that run the ratings up, then attempt to move them around so as to boost rating on other days. Then when the ratings decline they cancle the shows.

In this case they made a great Friday night line up with SG-1, Atlantis and BSG...then the mix new with reruns, now they move BSG to Sunday and cancle SG-1...

I stopped watching the SCFI show after the messed up Farscape and Babylon 5...I fully expect ratings to decline for Atlantis and definatly for BSG..so I may boycot the channle all together becuase of past and present behavior......

[Pipsfc]

I'm new to SG-1 and have yet to fully soak up the love for the show (I'm only at the end of season 2) but I hate the fact it is going away. I signed the petition in hope even after reading the most recent news. It's sad to see the show going. I just hope the movies will be as great as the series (I'm sure they will).

[Myrddins Angel]

To keep SG1 on TV as a 20-ep per season series? Give Sci-Fi a check for $40million, and I think they'll renew it.

LOL If I had $40 million to spare I would.:)

[rbuck]

if i had the 40 mil i would but scifi does very well with the money they
make from the comercials they air during the show

[aaron54]

having looked at what people have said here i can tell that atlantis will not be far behind SG-1 (which will be a shame) but hopfully if this does happen they will take the sci-fi channel with it the UK one dont even show stargate we must go to sky one

but if it is just the sci-fi channel being muppets then sureley they could just move stargate to a diffrent channel(perhaps sky one for example) as stargate is my only real reason for having sky as the rest of the time TV has complete crap on it so if atlantis goes too my sky subscription will go with it

i mean these forums could be used maybe to help u just have to see the amout of things on the web about people wanting to save it sureley this could be used in addition with the particians to help save it

there must be some effective way to save it perhaps holding TPTB families hostage they wil reconsider :D lolor maybe we could arrage a mass suicide although this wouldnt really help as the people involved would still never see SG-1 again :D

i would be very surprised if atlantis makes it past season 5 and as for the movies i think they will just be like SG-1's mid season episodes put together

also i agree with what was said on the first few pages i would kill to get SG-1 back

damn it still feels unreal for me i can safley say i have seen every episode of SG-1 at least once (besides the last four episodes) and i know i have seen seasons 1-7 at least 4 times and normally a nights sleep will make me feel ok but i woke up this morning still feeling as angry as i did when i read it man i am so p***ed off

sry for rambling on but i feel very strongly on the subject

[squeakytoad]

Everyone, it was smart of them to end it before it totally killed itself.

I seriously respect the producers for letting a dead dog lie unlike most in Hollywood who will beat the dead horse dry.

It's time the Stargate universe moves on. SG1 has died. I've done my mourning. You should do yours. And then stop weeping an look toward Atlantis and this new series coming up, the bright and beautiful offspring of SG1.

u said that on the other thread and i think it is very harsh SG-1 was a brilliant show and if they were given a chance to see the ratings after 200 they may have decided diffrently also i only just found out a few days ago and i wil never stop mourning for SG-1 :P

while yes they lost ratings they still have many loyal supporters you only need look at all the particians to see that

But Atlantis and this new series are Stargate. They're still Stargate whether they have "SG1" in the title or not.
But SG1 is over. It's horribly depressing to people who've been fans since the premier. But it'll be more depressing if it wears itself to the point of absolute pitifulness.

[just passing through]

Stargate SG-1 was going down hill the moment that O'Neil was no longer a member. The leads for SG-1 and for Atlantis are so simular that they could practically be the same person. The producers are better off finishing the series before fans hound it off the air and start filming movies every two to three years.

[TheNarims]

There has been an update on the saveStargateSg1 site. You can find it here. http://savestargatesg1.com/news/?cat=1

[Tehuti]

If the show would continue the quality would fall rapidly. You can't continue a show without REALLY fresh ideas, 10 seasons and 214 episodes. How many stories could someone create without re-using ideas. Don't get me wrong, I'm also hoping the show will be restarted. :(

[TheNarims]

There are still a lot of new stories out there. Some episodes might feel like another episode, but some episodes are also going to be completely new.

Folks

Little refresher on the rules.

The topic of this thread is 'what can fans do to save sg-1', it is not WHETHER OR NOT it deserves to be saved. Nor is it whether or not those participating in the campaign are 'right' to do so.

If you don't like the campaign, don't participate.

Rule #2 is to respect others. And telling people that they're supid or wasting time participating is not respectful. If you don't like what they're doing, don't worry about it. The only actions you need to worry about are yours.

[soviet-tauri]

there are much talk about the cancellation of sg1 and apparently it is only due to sci-fi not letting them move. there are many petitions and movements to save them. one had 50000+ signatures. we could also choose to boycott sci-fi (those who can). write letters raise awareness, find a loop hole, tell there biggest advertisers we'll be watching a different channel (those who can). These are some pretty major and possibly extreme Ideas but the only thing in our way is really sci-fi wanting to end it and not letting them move. please post and discuss new ideas.

[Ripple in Space]

It's over. They're already shooting movies (as we speak) to continue SG-1. Carter is now starring in Stargate: Atlantis (since Amanda's human, I doubt she'd be able to star in 2 movies, and 2 tv series at the same time). Michael Shanks has a role on "24." So if they did decide to shoot SG-1 now it would just be Mitchell, Vala, Teal'c, and Laundry.

As for boycotting SciFi, all I watch on there is Atlantis. SciFi has a horrible line-up, with the very rare exception.

[Team SG-1*save the show*]

Christopher judge will also be on Atlantis. 2 movies are in the making.

SG-1 is a legacy in sci-fi so now we need to concentrate on Atlantis! They are also making the third series!

i wish we could have got another season then a movie! There are several threads discussing sci-fi and the sg-1 cancellation so this thread will probably be moved.


I watch Stargate sg1, atlantis and battlestar gallactica on sky one. All that is shown on our sci-fi is heroes, heroes and more heroes with the exception of a town called Eureka every now and again(i havent watched it). i am so sick of those shows. They also show the very old star treks. i used to watch the sci-fi channel here for Firefly and farscape but they are gone now so i rarely watch the channel except when the stargate movie was on. In the morning the first thing on the channel is Scariest place on earth-stupid ghost show.

Well done Sci-fi channel for effectively killing off sci-fi as we know it. If it wasnt for sky one i would have nothing to watch. :mad:

[soviet-tauri]

true (I trust your info), but they do all (sg1 and Atlantis) film at the same places so they could basically come back later and begin shooting again, or work on both. plus 24 is the kind of show that could be long-term or short, and finally its sci-fi even if they do the movie they could pull the arc and go back. time, space, warp, alternate reality. I just figured I'd help out some of the people who are trying to save it. I love sg1 more than any other show, and am sad to see it go, and I'll help those running savior campaigns, but ten seasons is a good run, so either way........

[Team SG-1*save the show*]

i wish they would start the series off again after the movies. my sig still supports SG-1 as does my forum name. There is not much activity on the save sg1 website at the moment though!

[ssx001]

I have to say that Stargate SG1 is the only show that existed on TV that far surpassed the expectations of the average viewer. Anyone who doesn't know what Staragte is about just thinks it is antoehr Sci-fi show. When they finally see it they just can't get enough of it. It is a show that can be watched over and over again on DVD and never lose its flavour. The characters, language, costumes, races, space ships, planets and plots were thicker than any other show. The cast was perfectly chosen (although I did have probs adjusting to the loss of RDA) and Wright and Galssner did a fantastic job in every episode. Of course, some episodes were monumental in my eyes such as "Lifeboat" in that it always got me in tears and I have to say that no other show that I've seen has ever matched the passion of each story and the dedication of the writers to keep the continuity going.

I am all for Stargate Atlantis. If anyone saw the last episode of SG1 they'll know how much the writers were trying to tell the fans that they have tried so hard to keep it goign for the fans but it was out of their control. I personally would like to thank every person from Brad Wright all the way down to the person in the food van for taking me along on their journey over the past 10 years. I have never been to any conventions but I'm sure looking forward to travelling all the way from Australia up to Vancouver next year to meet the people that made me laugh, made me cry, had me on the egde of my seat and gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling at the end of most episodes. You guys sure showed us the endless limits to our imagination.

Long live Stargate :)

I second that. the support for stargate surpasses almost any show on earth. We help them get here and support every hard working member keeping it alive. Thanks for your work. you made us fans. Amanda said that sci fi fans are unlike any other fans, and I think we proved her right before and can now. It's not final not yet. If we just make enough noise maybe who knows....

What can fans do to save the series? Become the producers :jack_new_anime18:

Seriously though, I would love for SG-1 to keep going. I will do my part by continuing on doing fan vids to show just how good a show SG-1 really is.

[Brinson]

Save sg-1 by allowing it to die before it becomes something we don't want.

All great things must come to an end.

The people least qualified to decide when a show should stop are its fans ;)

Sure I'd love keep watching it, but I'd hate for it to change, which happens when most shows are on too long.

Sg-1 has lived a long life, let is rest in peace, I say.

Quite frankly Stargate SG-1, is dead, and i hope that it stays that way for the reasons stated above. The only reason for why I am not enraged is because i know that Stargate itself is not dead. Stargate Atlantis still lives on and now we have the new show Stargate Universe. Shows are not like people, they dont continue to air for many years, and thus we can not stay with them for ever. But a series can live on forever bringing the thoughts and memories of past shows into the series allowing to each stargate section to live on forever!

Let us all remember that of which has been a star in our sky. Let not the great candle of the sky be extinguished. May it burn on in the ways of righteousness forever more!

-and now i have said my peace. Farewell Stargate SG-1. You will be missed.

The only reason that SG-1 is dead is because of the retards in charge of Sci fi. I would actually like to see MGM pull atlantis from them and watch them crash and burn because the vast majority of their other programming sucks! I mean most of their movies really suck and don't even get me started on BSG! The Stargate franchise is all they really have that's grade A entertainment.

[tons'o'fun]

i think its best to leave it as it is.
we got 10 good years and thats a lot of time to catch up on if you have all the dvd's.

[Team SG-1*save the show*]

Just one more season will do to end the ori storyline then a movie. We are angry because Sci-fi cancelled it and replaced it with crap!

[stargateanubis14]

But it seems that even though all of the petitions are out there with hundreds of thousands of signatures, the show will still be canceled. What can we do that is more drastic and will make sci-fi have NO CHOICE but to reinstate stargate.

In the instance that the show is reinstated, i fear that the show will not be the same. It will probably be very difficult to get the same actors because they will have moved on to different shows. Even if they did get them back, they will have contracts and not be able to do much because of time restraints.
But i do agree, sci-fi has put them self in a deep dark pit of Tek'shel mak. Let's hope they see the only way out is reinstating Stargate SG-1.
DOn't forget to think about DRASTIC ways to change their minds!

SG-1 is only dead in series format.

[stargateanubis14]

Yes SG-1 is only dead as a series, but it shall live on in our hearts forever!......and in the dvd's:cameron:
