Who would have ever thought that a 1994 space epic starring grizzled action man Kurt Russell and a very young James Spader would become a successful TV show series? Well, this one did. In fact, it became two, with the spin off 'Stargate Atlantis' (sings "We don't talk about 'Universe', oh no...").
Starring Richard Dean Anderson in Kurt's role and Michael Shanks in Spader's, it became a massive hit, launching the careers of a host of Canadian actors, and Jewel Staite and Jason Momoa cut their sci-fi/fantasy teeth here.
It's always been a favourite of mine (except the one we don't name...) and you can't beat its opening titles and that awesome theme...

Top show, been rewatching and almost at the end, can’t recall a poor episode!
Loved this. Seem 'em all and thinking of starting again soon
I also like the one you don't want to mention :-)
IIRC the last two seasons of SG-1 felt like an rather unnecessary add-on but I've not watched any of it since it was first broadcast so I probably should give it all another shot - including the instalment you refuse to acknowledge. :)
Stargate? The Woodentops provided more excitement.
"... can’t recall a poor episode!"
Oh, there were a few! But the charm of the main cast carried them through with aplomb...
"I also like the one you don't want to mention :-)"
Maybe I should give it another try... 🤔

So many shows seem to run out of steam at this point. But it's final episide redeemed itself.

Clearly a man of specialist tastes, Melv...
