Man this is great. Two years ago it looked the show wouldn't make it past season 7. I'm so fucking stoked about this.

Atlantis, SG-1 Renewed

SCI FI Channel announced that it has ordered a second season of its
hit original series Stargate Atlantis and a ninth season of its
long-lived Stargate SG-1. The channel has ordered 20 new episodes of
each show from MGM Television Entertainment, and production on both is
set to begin in March 2005 for summer premieres on SCI FI.

Stargate Atlantis debuted in July and drew more than 4.2 million
viewers, breaking ratings records. The second season will bring back
stars Joe Flanigan, Torri Higginson, David Hewlett, Rainbow Sun
Francks, Rachel Luttrell and Paul McGillion.

With a ninth original season, Stargate SG-1 will tie Fox's The X-Files
as the longest-running SF drama series on American TV. MGM is
currently in talks with the series original cast members for their
return.

Robert C. Cooper and SG-1 co-creator Brad Wright will continue to
serve as executive producers on both series, which are distributed by
MGM Worldwide Television Distribution.

The remaining new episodes of SG-1's current eighth season and
Atlantis's first season will return in January 2005, along with the
series premiere of Battlestar Galactica.

you don't work as a graphic artist for the Conan O'Brien show by any chance?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

I won't stick around in this topic for fear of spoilers, but... sweet. I've only recently started watching the show, and so have only seen the first two seasons. Nice to see there's plenty more to look forward to.

Huh no why do you ask?

I don't know whether you know this and that's why you're making the joke, or you're just referencing his stargate rant, but Pierre Bernard(The recliner of rage guy) actually had a couple of lines on an episode of Stargate SG-1 this season. Nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I realized who he was.

 

[retardboy]

Yeah... They had a whole skit on Conan about him on Stargate. Anyway... w00t!

Ah, I assumed they referenced it, but I never saw.

Now the question is if Richard Dean Anderson will return. He seemed pretty adamant that Season 8 was his last season regardless if the series continued. Stargate without O'Neil would kind of suck.

is hot blonde lady still in it?

it is kinda iffy since she is supposed to have a kid around the start of filming next season.

 

[MrAngryFace]

if not I no watch!

I hope Amanda Tapping is there next year. She makes the show for me.

 

[COCKLES]

I'm wondering when we're actually going to see The Wraith in Stargate Atlantis actually do something...their taking a lot of episodes to bloody wake up. Despite being a new show, I feel SG1 is the more promising this series...what with the Carter Replicator and The Trust storylines.

 

[mrklaw]

Agree with Cockles. So far Atlantis just seems to be SG1 - interesting villains - most good characters + a one good one (the scientist from SG1).

Makes the renewal of SG1 even better. Its really matured since season 5. I'm loving this season so far. Oh, and Jack better stay, otherwise I'll lose interest. Its the character interaction that makes in IMO. I loved his line about the matrix a couple of weeks ago

 

[COCKLES]

I think Jack will stay....probably less. Anderson is on producer credits so I'd expect less of him, but he will be there. Same with Carter and Amanda Tipping...she'll be there, but less. It's phenomenal that SG1 has lasted this long...and it deserves it, it's kept a pretty decent quality all the way through with plenty of classic sci-fi episodes along the way.

Lost
Battlestar Galactica
(Improved) Enterprise
SG1
Atlantis
Alias
New Farscape
New Doctor Who

We're in a golden age!

 

[bachikarn]

Apparently RDA is going to be in a whopping 4 episodes next season. Blah

There is no "New Farscape". The Peacekeeper Wars was the END.

The New Doctor Who is shit apparently.

Alias isn't Sci-Fi.

SG1, Enterprise, and Battlestar Galactica are the best sci-fi on TV right now. If you can catch the SkyOne Galactica episodes before SciFi aires them in the US, do it. It's a great show.
