Step through the Stargate with SG-1, a team of soldiers and scientists, as they travel instantaneously to other planets to explore, forge alliances, defuse crises, establish trade, investigate ancient mysteries and defend Earth from such hostile forces as the Goa'uld and the Replicators.
For eight years, from their base at the U.S. Air Force's Stargate Command in the Rocky Mountains, Colonel Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) and alien warrior Teal'c (Christopher Judge) have braved everything that the universe has thrown at them, from interstellar war and evil twins to death and ascension.
But changes came to SG-1 as it began its ninth year of fearless service to Earth. New faces joined the team, as Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder) tries to fill the very big shoes of former SG-1 leader O'Neill (who is now in charge in Homeworld Security), while General Hank Landry (Beau Bridges) must adapt to the unique challenges of running Stargate Command, a posting unlike any other the military has to offer.
Offworld, SG-1 might have new friends — or new foes — in Vala (Claudia Black), a former Goa'uld host turned freedom-fighter; and Gerak (Louis Gossett Jr.), a Jaffa leader who vies with Teal'c for political control of the new Jaffa nation.

I miss this show :(
yeah, don't put spoilers in the description folks...
The best series EVER!
@Artifex good call. :)
to bad this show ended !! my favorite of all :'(
R.I.P :'(
Best series ever :-)
My favorite show of all time. Ever. Seriously.
I miss this show so bad :(
One of my all time favorites and the longest running sci-fi show in US history. They helped usher in the newer, team based sci-fi approach. It had a good blend of comedy, action, and drama.
The show actually ran for five seasons on Showtime and had really good ratings. It only got moved because they weren't getting a new subscribers and they had signed a deal that moved new episodes into syndication too quickly, so they were better off selling the show. It ended up making a smooth transition to the Sci Fi channel (Now Syfy) and lasted five more years.
If you do decide to watch this show, you should probably watch the movie Stargate first. The show picks up a couple of years after the movie.
There are two spinoff show and also two made-for-tv, followup movies for this. The two shows are Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe
Started to follow it on tv every saturday evening, or recorder it if I had sports, or asked my mum to do so. At first she didn't care, she doesn't like sci-fi at all.
In the end she was the one phoning me to recall me to record the next episode. Says enough ;)
I never got into SG-1, which i find a little embarrassing and maybe blasphemous (:P), but I thought I'd mention that those I know that watch SG-1 truly love it. Some don't watch any other TV, and a few more don't like sci-fi as a genre with this being their curious exception.
Pretty high accolades I think.
My theory without ever really watching any of the series, is the characters must become so familiar and liked that they were enough of a draw for so many to stick through the bad seasons I've heard about.
Bit of a pointless rant, but maybe a little interesting nonetheless?
@linker count me in! i recently watched all 10 seasons again!
Great show, maybe spent a bit too much time watching it. I also hear @lemon is a fan.
