Really?

[morrismike]

I wouldn't count on it. The Syfy execs saw an early cut, and they're already talking about possibly demoting it back to a web series.

It is likely that they asked to read the scripts before forking over the money and didn't like what they saw. I'm afraid that SGU taught them a painful lesson.

If we are combining shows to give a season list for a franchise Law & Order has a lot more then 20 seasons.

It began in 1990 so not a whole lot more than 20.

[DigiFluid]

Yes, it is! I think it was only topped by Law & Order's 20 seasons.

Or Doctor Who's 32 (so far).

[jelgate]

It began in 1990 so not a whole lot more than 20.

That is true if you compare just the original Law & Order but you are comparing the Stargate franchise with SG1 and its spin-offs to just the original L&O. Its not a fair comparassion.

[DigiFluid]

I just looked--good lord there's a lot of Law & Order!

20 seasons - Law & Order
13 seasons - SVU
10 seasons - Criminal Intent
6 series - UK
1 season - Trial By Jury
1 season - LA


And on top of that, other shows that take place in the same fictional universe:
In Plain Sight
Conviction
Deadline
New York Undercover
Homicide: Life on the Street

Don't forget Star Trek's TV run.

Star Trek: 3 Seasons - 79 Episodes, 80 if you count "The Cage" (rejected pilot)
Star Trek: The Animated Series: 2 Seasons - 22 Episodes
Star Trek: The Next Generation: 7 Seasons - 178 Episodes
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: 7 Seasons - 176 Episodes
Star Trek: Voyager: 7 Seasons - 172 Episodes
Star Trek: Enterprise: 4 Seasons - 98 Episodes
30 Seasons - 726 Episodes

If we break down Stargate in the same manner...

Stargate SG-1 10 Seasons - 214 Episodes
Stargate: Infinity 1 Season - 26 Episodes
Stargate: Atlantis 5 Seasons - 100 Episodes
Stargate: Universe 2 Seasons - 40 Episodes
18 Seasons - 380 Episodes

[Tanith0709]

Or Doctor Who's 32 (so far).

With 783 episodes

[Snowman37]

Can any American TV franchise beat out Star Trek's whopping 726 episodes? Can any television franchise beat out Doctor Who's 783 episodes?

[KEK]

Eastenders has over 4000 episodes. There's an animated show in Japan called Sazae-san with over 6000 episodes.

[Tanith0709]

Eastenders has over 4000 episodes. There's an animated show in Japan called Sazae-san with over 6000 episodes.

Corination Street has 7728 episodes as well. Also an American soap called "As the World Turns" had 13,858 episodes.

But for the Sci-Fi/Drama genres I don't think there are any that beat Dr Who.

[morrismike]

That is true if you compare just the original Law & Order but you are comparing the Stargate franchise with SG1 and its spin-offs to just the original L&O. Its not a fair comparassion.

I see what you are saying now. You are absolutely correct. Law and Order must have 30 + years altogether.

ST certainly does rock.

Actor David Hewlett now owns most of the dismantled sets, I was surprised to learn...

I found this article and the included links a very good read, especially when you want to research/read numbers of viewers, percentages and such...

Its good for a read...

If Stargate were to come back in a decade or so, I would very much prefer a continuation rather than a reboot. In my opinion, the only reason to do a reboot is if they want to rehash the Gou'ald storyline. If they don't want to do that, they can continue Stargate with the story they want to tell, but keeping the prior canon intact. After all, Stargate Command will presumably go on with its business for the foreseeable future.

How about a new series where the existence of the Stargate is revealed to the public? That should be different enough to give the series a new direction. As it is, it seems difficult to keep the Stargate secret. NASA's rockets would be pointless if you have alien technology. If we want a communications satellite, we should be able to place it within hours with the technology that the SGA has.

Then there is medical tech. At some point, the health benefit is so great that it isn't worth keeping it secret. The sarcophagi may cause some mental changed, but Daniel only had these effects after repeated exposure over a long period of time, and he shook it off pretty quickly. Imagine a hospital with row after row of sarcophagi?

So, I could see maybe in 2020, a continuation series, but dealing not only with what goes on in space, but with the changes the alien tech makes on Earth.
