Sci Fi Axes Stargate-SG 1

Posted on August 22, 2006

Sci Fi Channel has axed our beloved Stargate SG-1.

Sci Fi Channel is grounding "Stargate SG-1," the longest-running science-fiction series on U.S. television to date. The cable network has decided not to order additional episodes beyond the show's current 10th season, but it has picked up a fourth season of its more-popular spinoff, "Stargate Atlantis."

The show's ratings have softened in recent years and series star Richard Dean Anderson left last season, but it boasts a strong fan base, with as many as nine official conventions taking place worldwide every year. Producer MGM is exploring the possibility of taking the series to yet another outlet.

Bad Sci Fi channel!! Bad! You get a big time out, starting right now. And you can't leave that corner until you renew Stargate for another season. Oh, and Richard Dean Anderson: if ever you were ever going to decide to come back, this would be the time. Living in Canada isn't that bad -- in fact, it's perfectly lovely, as are the people. We know your family would adjust. And yes, we're selfish, so deal with it.
