There are a couple of S10 spoilers - so if you are avoiding all spoilers best stay away. But I personally did not find the spoilers to be much.
Here is just a little snippit of the article
Stargate SG-1 has entered the television record books. According to Los Angeles Museum of Television and Radio Library Supervisor Martin Gostanian, it is now the “longest-running, scripted, made-for-cable television series in U.S. broadcasting history.”
Its formula for success, according to the producers, includes likeable actors. Executive producer Michael Greenburg, the former MacGyver show-runner, called the chemistry between the four original leads “as serendipitous as I've ever had in a casting involvement.”
Other factors are: movie-like production values, long-term stability in the show's leadership, the stargate itself as an iconic prop and a mythologically rich premise that allows for varied storylines.
In the first quarter of 2006, the show averaged 3.3 million viewers per new original episode on Friday night. The producers say another 3 million viewers watch reruns in syndication on weekend afternoons.
Stargate SG-1 is Sci Fi Channel's workhorse. Airing at 8 p.m., the series leads off the network's key “Sci Fi Friday” primetime block of originals, reliably shuttling viewers to spin-off Stargate: Atlantis at 9 and onward to the channel's flagship, Battlestar Galactica, at 10.
