At a time when I'm depressed over the cancellation, that cheered me up a bit. Thank you.

My thoughts:
Agreeing with CarmenCatalina

I loved SGA- I was very dissapointed when SGA was cancelled. I would have loved to have seen a 6th or more season. of SGA. I wanted to give SGU a chance and I'm glad I did, it is a fantastic show, and I love it. I don't think quality had anything to do with SGU's cancellation, myself. I think it took all the best qualities of Stargate and went even better.
I'm not media-savvy so I don't know the particulars, as to why the ratings were low. I would have loved to see SGA continue a 6th or higher season in front of SGU(like SGI/SGA) but they didn't do that for whatever reason-(I'm assuming-financial?) I would love to see the movies made, too. But I'm assuming they weren't for financial reasons(MGM bankruptcy)

It's all my fault MattSilver 3K. I loved both SGU and Caprica.
Every time I really get into a show, get invested in the charactars, and look forward to watching every week, it gets canceled. Every single time. I'm just going to quit watching TV.
The shows I don't care about run 10 or 20 seasons or more.
(SG1 is an exeception but I never watched SG1until I got into SGA so SG1 was almost over by then)

no

It was just recycled SG-1 with a blue stargate"

love it. It's so true

WEll, it's still funny as hell.

It was so true. I enjoyed it as "SG-1 in another galaxy," but that's all it was. It really wasn't original for the majority of the last three seasons.

You and me, both, Perelandra. I loved SGU and Caprica, so I doomed them BOTH!

Nonsense. No one dooms shows like Jelgate. Jelgate is going to speak in 3rd until he doesn't doom a show or the Apcoclaypse. Whatever comes first. Jelgate bets the latter

I miss Elizabeth, too. Sniff.

[J-Whitt Remastered]

I miss Elizabeth, too. Sniff.

Me too. That's when the show started getting bad, IMO. It was still recycled pretty well from SG-1, but it just wasn't as good as with Elizabeth.

Did you also watch: Dark Angel, The 4400, T:TSSC, Dollhouse, Farscape, Firefly and SGA?
'cause I did, and all of them got cancelled, too.

Yes to Dark Angel, Dollhouse, Farscape, Firefly and SGA. No to 4400 and T:TSSC (??), but I'm sure if I had watched them, they would have been canceled.

I actually threw a shoe (slipper) at the TV at the "end" of Farscape. The movie helped.

I always find Farscape to be an interesting case because its a rare one. A big factor to their cancellation was going over budget

Isn't that a factor for a lot of shows that run for awhile? I remember reading somewhere that that's why Star Treks TNG, DS9, and Voyager were all brought to an end.

[Perelandra]

Yes to Farscape and SGA and of course-canceled.

YOu guys are making me feel a little better !!

Higher productions costs are what outdo many TV shows in they need more money every year. Not a lot of shows finance a season for more money that they are given.
