Harrie said:The good news is they are going to finish out the season. All this means is that if there is an 11th season, it won't be on the Sci-Fi channel.
When I first read you post, Zztony, I beileved that they wouldn't be showing the rest of the season 10 and nearly had a conniption/heart attack/stroke... thing.
" Don't count Stargate SG-1 out just yet. Though SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running series (story), the show's producers are hard at work looking for a new outlet for the story to continue, executive producer Robert C. Cooper told GateWorld exclusively."
Majestic said:Hello,
My name is Majestic and I have been a fan of Stargate SG-1 since the first episode, I live in Australia so don't get to see the most up to date episodes. I have only just seen Season 9 by buying the DVD box set like I have on the release date of every SG-1 season DVD box set since season 1.
When I first heard of the cancellation I thought it was a joke played by a few people on the net, but as the news spread I releazed that it was for true. Stargate SG-1 is one of the only good Science Fiction shows still being produced, there is a severe lack of them over the last few years with shows like the old Sliders, Farscape and Star Trek no longer on the air or being produced.
As you may of already of guessed I am a huge fan of the series and have been since the series start. I believe you will lose alot of customers by cancelling the series, there are many international fans that watch the series not just Americans.
If the series to too expensive to have on TV, perhaps a straight to DVD show could be a acceptable alternative.
There are currently peditions on the web that you may be unaware of.

Despite the lower ratings than the last few season (According to some its due to the shows move to a different timeslot) there is still a large fan base, every show needs time to get its footing and season 9 is kind of like a new series as it has new characters and a new enemy and a new storyline.
Please feel free to contact me if you wish to know more or what a view from a fan.
I would like to thank you for your time in reading this and hope it makes a difference in the shows future.

The BBC is a public corporation funded by a licence fee levied against the UK’s TV owners. As a public body, it has a legal and ethical obligation to diversity in its programming and serving the needs of its national community of licence fee payers.
Mark Thompson, Director-General of the BBC, wrote:
“We will offer diverse television, radio and new media content…Our efforts are designed to provide the best in information, education, entertainment and involvement.â€
Because there is no advertising on the BBC’s channels, it’s also the one network where shows don’t live and die by ratings or the vagaries of advertising revenue.
The BBC has a long tradition of supporting science fiction; it’s the home of Dr. Who, it aired the X Files on its 2nd channel before moving it to primetime BBC1 at the height of its success, it aired Farscape.
British fan Peter contacted the BBC, requesting that it acquire the rights to Stargate SG-1 and commission more episodes. This was the response he received:
“Thank you for your e mail. I understand that you would like the BBC to acquire the rights for the Sci-Fi programme ‘Stargate SG-1′ and commission more episodes.
Please be assured that I have registered your interest on an audience log, this internal document will be made available to the scheduling department and senior management within the BBC. Feedback of this nature helps us when making decisions about future BBC programmes and services and your comment will play a part in this process.â€
The emails requesting the BBC pick up Stargate SG-1 will be added to this audience log; this time, there really IS strength in email numbers to make a quick and significant impact in raising awareness of the show with influential managers and decision-makers.
Points to cover in your email
(1) The USA’s SciFi Channel has cancelled science fiction show Stargate SG-1, produced by MGM.
(2) You’d like the BBC to acquire the rights to Stargate SG-1 and commission new episodes.
(3) You understand the financial implications, and suggest the BBC could partner with MGM and other international broadcasters of Stargate SG-1 in a co-production consortium.
(4) You’re aware the BBC has taken on co-production deals with international studios and networks before, and was instrumental in saving Due South when its ratings fell in the US/Canada.
