Summary: As fun as TV was when you were a kid.
Review: Remember how fun Saturday morning cartoons were when you were a Kid? Well now that your all grown up you can still find that fun with Stargate SG-1. The series is everything that TV Sci-Fi should be, and all too often isn't. The show takes itself seriously, but not too seriously. It has flashy SPFX, techno babble and even the occasional hot alien babe, all standard in media Sci-Fi, but it also had good production values, decent writing, humor, and actors who understand that entertainment deserves just as much of their hard work as Shakespeare. The cast chemistry is what really makes SG-1 stand out from most of the Sci-Fi on TV. They play well off each other and "click" as a cast on screen. SG-1 is not the sort of Sci-Fi that will change your view of the Universe, but it's just what you need to unwind at the end of a stressful day. These days that's just as important.

Summary: The season that started it all
Review: I have to admit I wasn't much into SG1 in the beginning and only picked up season one on a whim while on my lunch break.
It was very good whim because I was instantly hooked. I started watching more episodes on Showtime and my local stations. Season one defiantly has some favorites of mine such as "The torment of Tantalus" "Enigma" "There but before the grace of god" "Politics" and "With in the serpents grasp" Admittedly the first season suffers from over use of dramatic music where it shouldn't be and a cast that hasn't become the SG1 that we come to know later on. However the seeds for a great TV show are spread here. I highly recommend season one for beginning fans and even older fans.

Summary: One of the best shows
Review: I have only been watching Stargate religiously for a very short time. These sets help, and are of very high quality. For a series, they are also quite affordable. I wish other SCI-FI seasons were as inexpensive and as high quality.

Summary: Just starting watching this year. WOW
Review: Wow. I thought this would be McGuiver goes to the worm hole but it is much more. And my favorite actor-hockey nut, Richard Dean Anderson is playing a very different character, Col. O'neill. He is sort of an old bird, not brilliant in that he is highly educated like Carter and Jackson, but he has a second sense about what is the best way to proceed under adversity. It took me time to warm to the way the character was being played. But the SG1 team, with addition of the alien Tilk have great adventures and make it fun at the same time. The series for me is a great blend of action, comedy and special effects that look real. Much of the TV show appears to filmed outside, rather than in sound studios, which adds to the realism, making this SciFi show believable. The TV series grew on me so I bought the first season to get caught up!

Summary: Better than the movie
Review: Ah, now I know why I'd not come across it on television before. I didn't have Showtime! Saw the movie, and then the DVD of the first season. I agree with the person who wrote about the pilot episode. I'm happy that the rest of the episodes aren't like that. Still, I think it sets up the premise very well, and I enjoyed the TV shows better than the movie with Russell. (Of course, I'm just slightly biased towards Anderson!) I'm really glad that the episodes are coming out on DVD, since that'll allow me to watch everything in order, which will probably make things make a lot more sense. Wish MGM'd make sure to release them regularly. Doesn't have to be fast, since it costs to collect these set, but just so that we can be sure to get everything! For the people comparing this to Star Trek, however, I think I'd still rather watch Star Trek, if I absolutely had to choose. Incidentally, does anyone know what's happened to the show on Sci-Fi? Has it just disappeared?

Summary: What a great collection!
Review: Stargate SG-1 has become one of our favorite shows, so we naturally wanted to buy the season 1 and 2 DVD collections. Unlike something like ST:TNG, this show was great from episode 1 on- none of that first season trying to get into character or sub-par special effects. The storylines are well thought out, well written, well acted, and overall very fun to watch. The quality of the season packages themselves is high- very professional and well done. I would highly recommend both season 1 & 2 collections and can't wait for more of them to be released.

Summary: First impressions are sometimes dead wrong.
Review: It took me six years to become a fan of this show because I didn't like the movie, and I watched what were probably some of the weaker episodes on TV. Also, the Stargate series began when Babylon-5 was really hitting its stride, and at that time I thought Stargate was a "nice try" also-ran compared to Bab-5. If that weren't enough, Col. O'Neill just seemed to walk around with a stupid look on his face, breaking the monotony every now and then with a wise-crack that might or might not be funny. And, it seemed that all the planets they visited looked like the Pacific Northwest of the USA, which is where I live. (I believe the series is filmed in or near Vancouver BC.) Those alien worlds they kept visiting looked like my back yard. Then just this year I saw a particular episode on TV which really impressed me. This was the "groundhog day" episode that dealt with losing a loved one, something I had watched my wife go through a few years ago. I thought it was well written, and the end particularly moving. Also, it's now 2003. Babylon-5 is over. Enterprise is typically good only for putting me to sleep. It seems most new sci-fi these days is about chasing aliens, bugs and critters around Earth, not going to other worlds. There's not much of what I consider "epic" sci-fi out there. (Oh yeah, Farscape started out brilliantly but by season two had brought sexual themes into the show in a particularly crass way that I found downright insulting.) So I gave Stargate another chance and bought these DVDs. I have to say that my first impressions were wrong. This series is "epic" in the tradition of Star Trek (when it was a new thing), Babylon-5, The Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, etc. I've gotten to know the characters, and most importantly I've watched the series in chronological order, which really helps because the episodes build on each other and serve to advance a story-arc that runs through the entire series. DVD quality and the lack of commercials add greatly to the enjoyment. Many of the planets the SG-1 team visit still look like where I live. Perhaps that's what the residents of Southern California thought when they watched Star Trek back in the 1960's. It's OK. It's great entertainment. Finally, this is a show that, with the possible exception of the needlessly gross nude scene in the pilot, you can watch with your kids. The characters are professionals who stand for high morals and principals, and are really "heros", another characteristic of what I call "epic" science fiction.

Summary: The BEST
Review: Stargate SG-1 is the top of my sci-fi teevee list. Used to be Babylon 5 because of originality and scope. Far outweighs Star Trek, however all the sci-fi series owe so much to the pioneering Star Trek ideas and imagination. Stargate is addicting and it just keeps getting better! The characters are all well developed by now (after 6 seasons) and they are full rounded people, not one cardboard character among them. Get this set to lay the foundation of the series, and then just keep spending and watching.
