And just a comment....WOW!

I have to say of Sci-Fi have cancelled right after the airing of 200...how incredibly crass of them. They could have waited another week or so! Happy to hear MGM may be trying to find another partner.

I'm completely stunned...Considering they'd already signed contracts for and thought creativtely about season 11 I really am shocked.

But surely MGM isn't going to let this go without a fight? Yes, they still have Atlantis and admittedly that has been doing better than SG-1, but Stargate is MGM's 2nd biggest franchise and generates huge amount of money for them. Could they take it elsewhere?

Season 5 for Farscape was okayed too and still it was cancelled. Nothing is written in stone. I figured it was hanging around to get the 200th status and then go out the door. Typical Sci Fi.

This is very bad news. I can truly say I have seen every single episode from Series 1 to 9. Being in England I haven't seen Series 10 yet but I am waiting in eager anticipation. It has gone from strength to strength becoming better as time went and it was truly mind blowing at the end of series 9. What I've read about series 10 it is equally mind blowing and I don't understand why it is being cancelled.
There is a suggestion that a third series should be made. I reckon a good idea would be to do what they did with Star Trek. There should be a Stargate: The Next Generation and it should be set 50 or so years in the future.

[JackGyver]

Wow. I'm impressed. It's one of those things that I thought was inevitable, but at the same time I didn't actually think Sci-Fi would actually do it.

I'm excited to see how Atlantis does on its own. I know it's hard to say now, but I think it'll do better as a stand-alone, and at least now TPTB can give all their attention to one show.

[Arative]

Not surprised at Sci-fi's decision, they wanted the esteem of having a show with 200 episodes on their network and that's all they wanted.

If MGM and Bridge Studios decided it was econmically viable, they could continue SG-1 in first run syndication, much like ST.TNG was done. From the article, it made it sound like that's what TPTB were looking for.
I'd say write Showtime too, get them to take SG-1 back!

[Jumper One]

Watch the rating the next few weeks go through the roof... hah! That'll show SciFi who's boss....

[ForeverSg1]

I think the cancellation was a foregone conclusion...no coincidence this has come out so soon after 200...Sci Fi wanted it to get to 200 and not much further

But...there should be an SG1 movie!

I agree. I don't think Sci-Fi ever intended on renewing SG-1 for an 11th season. The sole purpose of this entire season was to get SG-1 the title. It's as simple as that. The boys at Bridge wanted to rename the new series Stargate Command and start fresh, but Sci-fi wouldn't agree to it. So now they have their title and SG-1 gets the boot. Whatever. Hopefully MGM will give them a movie deal so SG-1 doesn't have to deal with Sci-Fi anymore. Now I have no reason for watching the channel at all.

I think we know why we're here. This thread is gonna be for any suggestions of how to go about doing things. If you have a petition, post it here, if you have any email addresses or actual addresses to Sci fi, post them here, if you have another method to send them a message, post it here.

And remember guys, physically sending a letter is almost always better than an internet petition, since there are so many of them.

[uknesvuinng]

I know Gateworld has reported the news and gotten it confirmed and all, but I'm still a bit... stunned. Wow.

And Atlantis survives? Also interesting. Wonder how this will affect things...

I'm not surprised in the least. I've been saying that Scifi was going to drop SG-1 after getting S10 since S9 was announced. Scifi had no further interest in the show, they just wanted the record. I kinda feel sorry for Ben Browder and Claudia Black for getting brought onto the show with all these ideas of "several seasons left in the show" and such, only to lose the job shortly after getting it. I suppose they enjoyed having the work, though.

[kirmit]

I intend to send sci-fi a very angry email but can't find an address on their site.

I'm not surprised in the least. I've been saying that Scifi was going to drop SG-1 after getting S10 since S9 was announced.

Y'know, on the one hand I agree- heck, I've been prognosticating the show's demise for a while- but on the other, I'm still amazed that it actually happened.

I just hope Atlantis won't suffer as a result.

[Jumper One]

I just hope Atlantis won't suffer as a result.

I don't think its possible for it not to suffer. I already see people in this thread saying they're going to give up on SciFi becuse SG-1 isn't on there anymore.

[edain]

We need to do what they did with Star Trek back in the seventies and force them to renew it atleast in a movie! DEATH TO SCI-FI!
