It's gotten so bad that when the Stargate TV show first started I didn't watch it on principle, figuring it was relying on a combination of the Stargate name and MacGyver to sell it. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was actually good!

I always loved the movie, but never had Showtime when SG-1 started it's run there. When it moved to Sci-fi channel I was hooked instantly. Over the last couple years I managed to catch up on most of the old episodes as Sci-Fi has been running reruns pretty much every day along with the original episodes once a week. But I had never managed to catch the original episode until they had a marathon a few months back. I about fell out of my chair when Carter first met O'neill and she was explaining how they rigged up the gate and got it working. Her line was they "MacGyvered it." There was kind of a half second pause and Richard Dean Anderson got this deadpan look and you could see in her eye that Amanda Tapping was struggling not to laugh. I've always wondered if they didn't tell Anderson before hand about that line. His reaction was too perfect for someone expecting it.
