I watched SG1 when it was first shown here.
It was just another US sci-fi show.
Years ago I loved pretty much any US tv show that came out, these days its hard to sort out the chafe from the wheat.
Too much shit, and not enough truly good stuff!

To each their own really.
I mean, I, like many, loved Buffy & Angel, but you hate them with a passion.

I just think the sci-fi genre from the US was killed by having about a million different Star Trek shows, and anything else (SG1, DS9, Firefly and Battlestar all spring to mind), just leaves me cold!

Its like the fact that theres all those shows like CSI and all its spin offs.
I couldnt stomach most of those shows, but then I stumbled on Bones, which I loved!
