[Atrocities]

Sci-fi cannot afford Stargate and often only runs a series for only a couple of years. This might be the end of Stargate as we know it. NBC could aford to pick up SG and run it prime time but we all know how other scifi shows on NBC have been treated. Sindication is another option but lets face it, the sindication market isn't what it used to be back in the day of STNG.

MGM has a very marketable franchise, under marketed IMHO, no games, no collectables, no toys, just a show that could have made them a lot of money over the years under utitlized and now too expensive to produce.

Sallaries go up, cost go up, and series eventually become too expensive too make. This normally happens when their market share starts too fall, but in SG1's case their market share hasn't erroded over time, however the cost of producing the show, namily salaries, has increased to the point where it now takes more money per episode thus lowering profits for Sci-Fi network.

They are slating a feature film and will most likely make it so don't worry too much about it. If the film is successful, the will most likely make a return to tv. This according to a long Gate World report that I read a few months back.
