Gee, that's a tough-ie. Um...I will go....wiiiittthhhh...crap.

[suse]

I'd know a "high quality comedy" when I saw it. I also recognize crap for what it is.

Guess which category Seasons Nine and Ten of SG-1 fall into?

Super high quality (extra stinky) carp?

[Arga]

SG-1 wasn't canceled....It was non renewed!

It wasn't the ratings that caused the...non renewal...it was those over paid cast, crew and writer.

according tptb, us ungrateful little lemmings, don't know a high quality comedy that is disguised as a science fiction show if it bit us in the asses.

Good disctinction..
"Cancelled" would be if the series was stopped in the middle, like "Harsh Realm".

Not on the air because "the cast and crew cost too much" sounds cancelled to me...

Especially since they'd have paid for themselves if the rating were higher.

For me once they stopped featuring the Stargate, the show went downhill. It lost its uniqueness and morphed into a bad Star Trek series.

I referring to Mark Stern's "If they came to us for less we would have picked it up."

He should have just been honest and said something like: We only wanted it for the record...nothing more. BWT...it's actually Stargate Command now...but if we named it that...we wouldn't have the record.

For me once they stopped featuring the Stargate, the show went downhill. It lost its uniqueness and morphed into a bad Star Trek series.

What kills me is the series had the potential of adding ships without treking it. There would only be one ship, it would have to be much smaller...like the size of a modern aircraft carrier and there couldn't be asgrad beams, shields ...just a hyperdrive engine. They could have had a load of fun with the ship too. Earth's first spaceborne battle ship. They could have made it so it was under powered compared to the alien ships, always breaking down, always needing SG-1 to come rescue them. Would have made those rail guns look even better...no laser beams.

The ship could have been a running joke even, with lines such as: "I'm not scotty and this hulken hunk of junk ain't exactly the enterprise." I could see Sam spouting that one!

In PU...Vala could try and steal the ship and realize it was junk and absolutely worthless.

Hermoid would have lots more to complain about other than using Asgard tech for war. Like the living conditions.

Sam would be kicking herself for letting the IOA commission a ship before we were ready...and it would tie her directly to the ship by having to go fix it all the time.

They could have integrated a ship and have a load of fun with it...but then they wouldn't have a "cool new ship" to blow up this week.

Then again, they did turn the "redshirt" curse on its ear. Beware the captain's chair!

Oh my...I think you hit the nail on the head!

[Freekzilla]

Actually, one of those little men was a woman. But the suit was still big, and easy to predict. Unfortunately, power and authority have the tendency to render one deaf and stupid regardless of gender, Skiffy demonstrates that clearly.

It seemes like it's all about business & not a love of the product. I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive.
