I'm a little bias since I grew up watching this show; I have literally seen the entire series more times then I can count, since it is one of my favorites, but maybe that's why I am also qualified to review it.

If you watch Stargate Atlantis first and then try this one; you wont like it. Stargate Atlantis was made beautifully and has more action and go to it. Stargate SGI is a little slower and can get boring after awhile, compared to today's newer Sci-Fi series it has a hard time standing up. But there are so many good things about this show as well, that I recommend you give it a fair chance before crossing it off the list. The idea behind the series; being able to travel to any limit of planets, and what you might find on those planets is beyond endless for possibilities. I find Stargate SGI did a very good job with coming up with creative stories to tell in each episode. They also did an extraordinary job of building each episode off of the last. You can't just watch this show from anywhere, you need to start from the beginning for it to make sense.

The cast in this show and their characters were very well chosen, they play off of each other beautifully, adding lots of humor to each episode, but not too much to make it goofy. Instead each episode has a perfect amount of heart and grit, making you fall in love with each character.

The first episode does contain explicit content, but ONLY the first episode. There is no other nudity in the entire show. As the seasons progress, I do find the last two seasons are the best in the entire series. It's to bad that they faze out Richard Dean Anderson; he truly was the heart of the team that made the show, but by introducing Claudia Black and her wicked humor it made up for the loss that was felt.

I am watching this for a second time, because the sci-fi on now is terrible TBH. Too much gore, sex and stupidity in most sci-fi series now, Star-Trek Discovery a case in point. SG-1 has good strong likeable characters, good actors, good plots and overall a great series to watch and enjoy. There is no need to see blood and guts, and have f-bombs dropped every other scene and sex scenes when the story line of your show and your characters are strong. Ok some of the science is way off, but I can forgive that if the story-line is strong and it fits in with the SG-1 universe. Overall as good if not better than Battle Star Galactica and miles better than tripe like ST Discovery.

10 years since the final episode, and 20 years since the first episode, and I finally watched the series in it's entirety. Although I had previously seen upto Season 7 from previous viewings (TV or DVD purchase) I never did see Seasons 8-10 and the two TV Movies.

Wow, 20 years later, and the story lines, the scenery, costumes and the general feel of the show still have a current day feel to it. Certainly does not feel like a 20 year old show. It certainly helps that all the episodes I have are in the 16:9 TV format. Unlike Star Trek TNG (which I tried to watch immediately before SG-1) and three episodes in I was already cringing and rolling my eyes.

A show well done! The cast dynamics were critical in it's success. For me, the standout was Richard Dean Anderson and Amanda Tapping. And that is why I felt Seasons 9 & 10 stumbled a bit.. maybe a 7 rating for those two seasons, instead of the overall 9 rating.

We haven't had a worthy, long running sci-fi show since... what a shame.

One amazing series it had all the emotions with credible characters I am still watching the repeats to this day . Window of opportunity legend !!!!

Very few TV shows based on films are ever good, this one is. Very few TV shows can maintain their pace and originality over the years, this one has. I've just watched the first 6 episodes of season 4 and each and every one of them has been a cracker.

This show has lots going for it; intelligent and convincing plots, great multi-dimensional characters, superb actors (both major and minor players), expert direction (hats off to Peter DeLuise), continuity of story, consistent use/appearance of sci-fi technology, witty but subtle dialog and almost as an aside, stunning FX.

The only thing left to say is that I feel sorry for people that haven't been watching up till now. Please, it's not too late.

The movie was groundbreaking, and its ideas had great potential for further development. Usually, sequels are made to continue the story on the big screen. Creating this excellent series was a much better decision than producing lousy sequels for the masses.

Fans of the movie get to further explore all the ideas: The Stargate system, used by humans to travel the galaxy for thousands of years; Egyptian, Norse, and alien mythology; true science fiction - with fictional devices and concepts based on current science; and human exploration of our known universe – part of what made Star Trek so popular.

You see the characters develop over time, the quirky unexpected humor, the use of an alien who doesn't fully understand American English (like Data), the struggle of the oppressed, the lengths humans go in order to survive, politics and government bureaucracy, and the underlying tenet that there is more to human life then our brief appearance on planet Earth.

I nominate this and BABYLON 5 as the best television sci-fi series made. Both stand out in my mind because unlike early STAR TREK series, there is a consistent evolution of plots and characters. If you look at the original STAR TREK and STAR TREK:TNG, they were fine shows, but there was no overall theme or plot that connected all the episodes. In many ways, you could usually watch the shows totally out of sequence with no difficulty understanding what is occurring. This was less the case with DEEP SPACE 9 (with its giant battles that took up all of the final season) and the other TREK shows, as there was more of a larger story that unified them. This coherence seems to have developed as a concept with BABYLON 5 and saw this to an even greater extent with SG-1. The bottom line is that in many ways this series was like watching a family or a long novel slowly take form. Sure, there were a few "throwaway" episodes that were not connected to the rest, but these were very few and far between and were also usually pretty funny.

And speaking of funny, I loved that SG-1 kept the mood light from time to time and wasn't so dreadfully serious. In this way, I actually enjoyed it more than BABYLON 5. Jack O'Neill was a great character with his sarcasm and love of Homer Simpson--it's really too bad he slowly faded from the series in later seasons.

To truly appreciate SG-1, you should watch it from the beginning and see how intricately the plots work. This coherence gives the show exceptional staying power. And, if you don't like SG-1 after giving it a fair chance, then sci-fi is probably NOT the genre for you.

Its getting old, but remains my most favourite tv show.

Still my favorite of all time. Battlestar came close but no cigar. This is fun, smart, and I can watch it everyday and not tire of it. I know that some are probably better but for me this is the favorite.

To me there are two SG-1's. Seasons 1,9, & 10 should have been lost in some distant galaxy and forgotten ever existed. The other seasons are cherished campy fun Sci-Fi at its best. Which is probably why you see so many reviews with extremely different opinions. If you can, breeze quickly through some of the first season to get the story plot and ignore the filler episodes and ignore anything after season eight, then you will appreciate the show much better.

As a quick guide for the first season, just skip episodes 3,4,5 and 11. These are really bad filler episodes that skipping will not hurt future viewing at all. You could skip 14 and 15 but it does have some backstory to it. If I had to rate this show overall it gets a seven. However it would deserve a none or ten if they never did season 1,9, & 10.

Hands down the best Sci Fi series ever, and it has aged well.

Anybody honest will admit this series over-stays its welcome, but most of this series is certainly worth watching if you are a fan of Sci-fi.

You can tell this show has a budget. The choreography and writing isn't perfect, but the characters are generally likeable and endearing. This series also has something most other Sci-Fi never bother with; a linear narrative that makes use of things that happened in previous episodes. The connections are not always perfect, but even attempting something other than adventure of the week is worth praising.

I also want to give praise to the only character that challenged the military focus of this series, Daniel Jackson. I loved seeing a character who had morality similar to that of a Star Trek captain thousands of years into earths future contrasted with the needs and desires of our modern earth. I think the portrayal of the US military was a bit... more tame than what it would be like realistically, but there was still plenty of moral conflict to go around. The flabbergasted look that Daniel would give to military generals and world leaders as if he wanted to shake the nonsense out of them was nice to see.

If you can get over the budget constraints and campy nature of older sci-fi than this series is worth watching, at least until the Ori show up.

I've seen the whole show recently, and I'm rather disappointed.

It's not that it's bad, but it's far, far from good. And far, far from a show that deserves 10 seasons, 2 movies, and 2 spin-offs.

I'm a great fun of the movie, and I was generally excited to see the series. I got myself to watch the dreadful 1st season, cursing my life, and hoping it gets better.

And it did, I must admit. Half way by season 2, I was already a fan, I liked the team, the main story, and, most of all, I enjoyed the humor. It only had two flaws, that later I found out that further in the series just get worse; first, the story was developing terribly slow, and second, the characters always stayed the same. There was only a minor, almost negligent character development throughout the whole series.

All this though, was easy to get by in series 2 through 5. But then, things got terribly worse. Even the humor got repetitive, the story even more slower, and the story arcs ended in the worst way imaginable.

That's for seasons 6 through 8. i won't even comment the last two and the movies.....

So, basically, as a fan to good sci-fi, I wouldn't recommend this to a peer. But i give 5 out of 10 for the little enjoyment this series gave me, for the fact that it helped me realize that other shows I've seen and thought are bad are not so bad, and from respect to the large fan base this series generated. After all, maybe It's only me who looks at it this way :)

Ten years after Emmerich & Devlin showed the world how it SHOULD be done, the TV spin off of their (still) greatest achievement has finally proven itself to be the best franchise in existence today.

For those unfamiliar with the original film, the Stargate is a device found buried in the Giza plateau of Egypt in 1928. In 1994 (or 1996, if you follow the chronology of the series) the United States Air force has come into possession of the gate and recruits radical Egyptologist Dr. Daniel Jackson (then played by James Spader) to translate the runes found alongside it and activate the gate.

Sure enough, Jackson opens the gate and a reconnaissance team led by the stoic Colonel Jack O'Neil (a dour-faced Kurt Russell) is assigned to survey the world on the other side, later to be known as Abydos. Jackson too, is sent along with the goal of reopening the gate on the other side. Once on the other side though, the team come across a civilisation being ruled over by the mythical god Ra and come to discover the truth behind both the Abydonians and the Ancient Egyptians - that thousands of years ago a dying alien parasite came to Earth and took a host in the form of a primitive human boy (Jaye Davidson). Using his advanced technology, the alien - now in human form - masqueraded as the god Ra, conquering the planet and using the Stargate to transport thousands of humans to Abydos to mine the minerals needed to sustain his technology.

Needless to say, O'Neil and Jackson see to it that the Abydonians are shown the truth about their god and rebel against him. Jackson stays behind on Abydos with his new wife Sha'uri (later changed to Share) and O'Neil's team returns to Earth.

The series picks up one year later, when the now dormant Stargate is reactivated unexpectedly and a hostile alien force seemingly under the leadership of Ra launches an attack on the base, taking a hostage in the process. In response, the base's new CO, General George Hammond (the superb Don S. Davis) calls on the now-retired Jack O'Neill (who, as well an extra 'L' in his name, has also become the much-lighter Richard Dean Anderson) to lead his team back to Abydos and determine the nature of this new threat. Back on Abydos however, Daniel Jackson (now played to perfection by Michael Shanks) shows O'Neill and scientist Captain (later Major) Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) that the Stargate can evidently open doorways to more planets than simply Abydos and that whoever attacked Earth did not originate from Abydos.

The situation becomes more critical though, when the same force attacks Abydos and both Share and her brother Ska'ra are taken. Jackson immediately returns to Earth, where the President authorises the creation of nine teams to uncover what lies through the Stargate on each different world - O'Neill's team (including Jackson and Carter) being designated SG-1.

Following the Stargate address seen during the attack on Abydos, SG-1 travel to a planet known as Chulak where they discover the true origin of the enemy force - another alien masquerading as a god, this time as the god Apophis. The situation worsens when both Share and Ska'ra are revealed to have become hosts to the aliens, known as the Goa'uld. Imprisoned on Chulak, SG-1 must rely on Apophis' head guard when he turns traitor and agrees to help the team escape. The alien, Teal'c (the impeccable Christopher Judge), leads the team to the Stargate, all the while fighting a bloody battle in an attempt to recover Share and Ska'ra.

After the rather breakneck pilot, season 1 of SG-1 falls into a rather repetitive pattern pretty quickly - the team shows up at a planet looking for advanced technology to fight the Goa'uld, stumbles across a problem with either the locals or said technology and spends the rest of the episode solving that problem. Although the episodes aren't really that lacklustre, they do serve to remind you that the Star Trek franchise has existed for years on pretty much the same recurring `planet of the week' plot. It's not until the season's final three episodes that the show shows even any sign of promise.

The season closing trilogy however, rejuvenate the series back to the strong form it displayed in the pilot, when Apophis finally launches his ships against Earth and SG-1 alone must prevent the planet's destruction. Although the story is concluded in the second season premiere, the main plotline picks up tremendously from there. By two-thirds of the way through it's sophomore season Apophis is gone and the scope of the show is revealed - there was never only two aliens to fight, there are in fight a large group - all masquerading as gods - known as the System Lords.

The show from then on deals largely with defending Earth against these enemies, although at the midway point in season three Apophis returns as the series' biggest foe and takes much of the play until the season four/five two-parter. It is in Apophis' aftermath that a new foe is revealed : Anubis. Once a powerful and sadistic Goa'uld System Lord, Anubis was banished when even the other Goa'ulds objected to his activates.

Mastering the technology of the Stargate builders (known as the Ancients), Anubis takes the tension to a whole new level when - by the close of season seven - he shows up in orbit of Earth with an armada waiting to destroy the planet.

The beauty of the series is simple : it never slumps unrecoverably. In every instance of a slightly dull episode, the following episode will undoubtedly show itself to be one of the best pieces of television you'll ever see. On a story-arc level alone, the series beats genre shows like Deep Space Nine and The X-Files hands-down almost simply because the arc stays consistent, there are no ludicrous changes of pace, no unexplained leaps that need to be taken and no confusion over the eventual direction of the story.

The evolution of the show is also a high point. By season six, technology recovered in the preceding seasons have been mastered and put into practical use. Characters show bonds that grow with time, even enemies become fleshed out and changed allegiances (for the first time I can remember on television) are actually plausible.

The two biggest selling points of SG-1 are it's writing and it's performances. In Anderson, the show has a leading man that fits every bill perfectly. The character - although admittedly a big leap from Russell's performance - grows incredibly to the point where every nuance is golden. In the confines of the Stargate universe, O'Neill has basically two roles - comedian and action hero, both of which are superbly portrayed. Shanks begins the series by essentially playing Spader playing Jackson and then evolving the character to the point that you forget Spader ever filled the role in the first place. Tapping - although irritating as hell in the initial episodes - eventually becomes intensely loveable, mainly serving as both the frustrated emotional core of the team and the brains of the outfit - coming up with a plan for every alien threat that comes their way. Judge is also spot-on, taking the kind of stoicism earmarked by Michael Dorn for all those years and graduating it to a level of pure awe. Teal'c is a character that in the hands of an other actor could have been a disaster, but with Judge you actually find yourself revelling in the character's highs and lows as much as he himself does. Obviously the character fills the role of the team's muscle, but his level of comic relief is superb - not just on a level of writing, but also on a level of deadpan and delivery.

This show launches it's first real spin off in July (US) and September (UK) in Stargate : Atlantis, and with a proposed movie on the horizon the future is looking rosy. Above all, this is a franchise that deserves it's endurance and widespread appeal.

If you haven´t already watched Stargate SG-1 you will probably have a hard time to dig into this show, but if you give it a try you might just fall in love with it. I grew up with this show, so I am really affected by the nostalgia lens. None the less I still think that there is more to this show then many probably think, I often here people say that the show is just too goofy and they can´t take it seriously, thus they never really watched it or only remember it as a silly sci-fy show. And even though the show is in fact more on the light hearted side, it still provides extremely enjoyable stories and characters, some episodes really manage to effect you, not just comedically but also emotionally. The show really has some poignant moments. And some episodes are just hilarious and will bring a big smile to your face. It´s and great story with lovable characters and has this adventures vibes to it.

So if you don´t really know what to do or what show to watch next, especially in times like this, maybe you wanna give Stargate SG-1 a try.

Ten seasons wasn't enough and it was when they were brave enough to do 22-episode seasons. Evelyn with the last two seasons people leaving and the cast changing Claudia Black and Ben Browder stepped up and they could have went on and kept it interesting wish they would have a show like this again

This series is one of the best science fiction series ever made. All the characters are very likeable. The story never grows dull through all 200 sum episodes. They always find a new way to keep the series going without abandoning the old plot to start a new one. The old arcs always continue to have presence throughout the series. Worth a watch, then a re-watch, and maybe one more.

I grew up watching Stargate SG1, the idea of increasing on the Movie was well made, incorporating the ancient Egyptians/Norse history and archaeology into the sci-fi is done well also.

The characters are great you do feel a sense of how close they are to each other and care about what happens to them, their chemistry on screen is superb the storylines are great.

By Season 7 they were ready to end the series but it came back in For seasons 8-10 and it never felt forced at all. Humour, Great action, credible story lines, family, Love, Friendships, struggle for equality and freedom, military and science this show has it all.

Rewatching in 2019 took me back to my childhood and also it didn't feel as dated as I thought it would. So sit back watch enjoy and step through the Chaapai to a different world meet the Goul'd, Tokra, Asgard, Jaffa, good escapism if you love sci-fi you will enjoy this. Also Stargate Atlantis is worthy to look at.

I did not have the opportunity to see this series in past. But after watching two seasons I must say I quite liked it.

Considering the time line of the series, it appears that many of the proceeding SciFi series and films have borrowed ideas from SG-1 (and possibly SG-1 from the previous one like Startreck).

For example the famous film Matrix has the same idea of an episode of SG-1 season 2. People are attached to life maintenance devices, and the device produces a virtual reality world for those people.

I am a scientist and I enjoy and look forward to new ideas (to base research work) and this series was very interesting.

This tv show, along with Babylon 5, star trek deep space nine are the best science fiction series.

I was first introduced to Stargate through the Atlantis series. I avoided SG1 because it seemed so dated. I was wrong!

Though I love Atlantis, I consider SG1 to be far superior. Epic storylines! Great sci-fi tech! Brilliant character relationship! I can watch and re-watch the series and love it every time! A MUST SEE for all sci-fi geeks like me.
