10 more years of Stargate???

"But MGM has big plans. Executive vice president Charles Cohen says MGM "intends" to develop a theatrical movie "derived from the series over the last 10 years" that would ideally
"dovetail" into a third Stargate television show. Theatricals would "not in any way impair" SG1's television run, he asserts. He believes it's possible for three Stargate series to air concurrently, not
unlike the Law & Order franchise. [...] I'd like to see SG-1 go another 10 years. I love the show. I'd like to keep it on forever and keep adding to it. It's very ambitious," Cohen admits, then chuckles.
"Brad and Rob will cringe."

"Stargate SG-1 is Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.'s new best friend, if you gauge it by the enthusiasm expressed by studio executive vice
president Charles Cohen. Since MGM's sale to an investment group last year, the sci-fi franchise has become "much more important to MGM than
it had been viewed before the sale," according to Cohen, who said wasn't actively involved with the show until the studio's new ownership came in. "Stargate on the television side represents the
same type of dynamic franchise [as the James Bond movies] for us," Cohen says. "It's enormously important both in terms of what it contributes financially but also what it does for our image. [...]
Stargate SG-1 helps keep the MGM name "in front of millions," Cohen says. "And it helps drive other MGM products. It opens a lot of doors.
People want to meet with you. It's a quality product they need to have."

Raph's Girl note: 10 more years of Stargate and ANOTHER spin-off??? I love Stargate and all but good grief... *sings* This is the show that never ends...yes it goes on and on my friends....

If the quality of the show remains as consistent as it's been, it can go on forever. SG-1 changed their villains completly, got rid of RDA, and surprisingly they have yet to jump the shark

RDA's returning for several eps in Season 10 as well as some eps of SGA.

I had no problem with the 100th episode, whilst a lot of the fifth season was quite p*ss anyway, it was'nt quite "shark jumping" p*ss thanks in part to episodes like "Meridian"

The 200th ep, which features RDA, deals with a Wormhole X-treme theatrical film being made. It's kinda an homage to Serenity/Firefly. :lol:

Well this is happy news.

I can't stand SG-1, but I love Atlantis.

Amen to that, Raph's Girl. I was ready for this show to be over in S7. And S8. And so forth.

I miss Teryl Rothery. :ohwell:

But you know what, write a script with Corin Nemec and Michael Shanks doing those great scenes together where they just barely seem to like each other, and you've probably got something watchable. Not that I have any delusions that they'd write in Corin Nemec. :p

Wormhole X-Treme was classic. "Bigger! What is it about the word 'bigger' that you don't understand!?" And I'd pay money to see the DeLuise boyz on screen together. I have HUGE delusions that they'd write them all in! :D

But as for Shark-jumping, they came close when they had RDA on a half schedule because he was flying back and forth from Vancouver to his home. The team dynamic went to the hills and it seemed to become The Daniel Jackson show. That was irksome.

Mind explaining your POV? I don't watch much of either show anymore, but I think they're both high quality stuff.
