There won't be anything like that, not for a while. SciFi Wire confirmed that SG1 has been cancelled at the end of the season. Atlantis continues, however.

Oh, of course. It's popular, they have to cancel it.

I recall reading a little bit ago that MGM has stated that they currently have no plans to kill SG-1.

Just how many times over the past 5 years have people said "Stargate's definitely going to be cancelled at the end of this season!" and yet it hasn't happened. Until it does happen (which I hope won't be for a long long time yet), I won't believe any report that doesn't come from MGM as to the status of SG-1.

SciFi has opted out of airing future seasons of the show, however MGM and Executive Producers did state they will shop the series around - but really, outside of scifi and other paramount-owned stations will consider it.

Even with the crap timeslot, the 200th episode had a 1.9 rating...higher than last season's average of 1.8.

That just emphasizes how stupid Sci Fi is. Actually, I don't think they cancelled Stargate due to ratings. From what I've read, it has been Sci-Fi's #4 show in the ratings all year, which isn't bad. My personal theory is that they want to get away from the science fiction genre and concentrate on the ratings-heavy and cheap shows like "reality" TV and wrestling shows. I bet within a couple years, Sci Fi is no longer Sci Fi.

So... The science fiction channel cancelled Stargate because they wanted to stop showing science fiction shows?

Wha?

Have any of you seen some of the low brow, low quality, absolutly stupid movies they have funded and aired recently? Carnavor Planet... (?) not sure if thats the name, but it was certainly one stupid movie. And they have been airning a lot of stupid movies.

To be honest, I have seen better sci-fi writing come out of this forum than I have seen sci-fi stories come from the Sci-fi Channel.

Makes perfect sense. A channel which has the abbreviation for Science Fiction in it's name is moving away from Science Fiction.

Shouldn't they at least change the name of the channel to Reality Channel, at least? Or the "Real" Channel?

Remember when MTV meant Music Television? Look at the nonesense it is now; for the shallow teenagers. Like mentioned, it can be relabeled "Reality Channel" although there is nothing real about it. People are not real when there are known cameras watching. I hate all that ignorance.
SciFi Channel is sliding towards this.
