Part of watching a show and enjoying it is being able to suspend your disbelief. and in some cases, it's easy. In fact, up to s7, suspending the general disbelief that the show could be 'real' is ok.
then comes teh rampant abuse of space ships. and locking down whole towns, disappearing sky scrapers, goa'uld running all over the place, thieves being given the keys to the sgc, verbally assaulting senators, pilots that have never even seen the gate being given command of the premiere team...the sillier and sillier and more farfetched stuff gets in this incessant obsession with 'bigger', the less enjoyable it is because it ceases to become a dramedy adn turns into a farce
it'd be the equivalent of taking ER, and remaking it into Scrubs.
