We missed this show when it originally aired, so we have been watching straight through.
We noticed that on Netflix they have rated the show "TV-MA for Nudity" yes, NUDITY!!!
This show is like watching Andy Griffith in the 1960s yet they label EVERY episode of SG-1 for NUDITY.

It is a great clean show with sci-fi, teamwork, saving the world, patriotism and snarky comments from Col. "MacGyver."
Is Netflix just trying to keep children 10-17 who cannot or are not allowed to watch TV-MA shows by mis-rating the show?

Sorry I'll get off my soapbox now.

I watched the hell out of this show and Atlantis, and I don't remember any.

The SG-1 pilot, "Children of the Gods" has nudity.

Then why tag the whole 10 seasons for 1 episode?

Sorry was typing while Ranger answered. Still DUMB to me.

This is my favorite series of all time. Though I gotta admit, it should have ended after season 8.

We are in the middle of the 8th season now.
We started with Atlantis, then too much had to be explained so we started SG-1 for background then we will go back.

There is an edited version of the pilot out there I am fairly certain, I am surprised that Netflix did not run with that version.

Okay, Sha're was stripped bare on the Netflix version of the pilot.
And so they tagged the whole series for nudity.

So random question, am I the only one bothered by Teal'c with hair?

The first few seasons of Stargate SG-1 aired on Showtime and they were requested to add it. They also filmed a version of that scene without nudity that they used whenever the episode played on other channels.

The first time I watched SG-1, was back before streaming and Netflix sent the DVDs in the mail. I had already watched most of Atlantis, and seen bits/pieces of SG-1. Imagine my complete surprise when I finally started from the beginning and watched the pilot.

I was always partial to Dr. Fraiser myself.

Just finished the series finale earlier. Thank god there's a movie to tie it all up. That's seriously how they ended the show?!

Saw the original movie but that's it. So do these series stand up or is there a lot of nostalgia in here?

SyFy doesn't really treat their shows well. I think all 3 Stargate shows were cancelled while being the top rated show on the network.

I read that Atlantis was cancelled after the Canadian dollar increased in value compared to the USD. Since it was all filmed in Vancouver, it put a serious financial hurt on the show.

Thanks!

I googled looking for information about the cancellation/non-renewal and ran across an article that Cliff Simon who played Ba'al died in March from a kiteboarding accident.

Universe was also filmed in Vancouver after Atlantis was cancelled so not sure how accurate that is although I suppose maybe they were willing to fund 1 science fiction show but now 2 and chose Universe.

I struggle to think of a decent show Syfy allowed to finish on its own terms honestly.

I loved Universe. Rewatched the series during covid. Held up just as well. So damned good.

"Tiny Doctor" in our house

We have reached Season 8 of SG-1, you can see the handwriting on the wall for SG: Atlantis, which was the first show we start watching a few years ago. When things got too confusing, we went back and watched the Movie, now going through SG-1 then back to Atlantis and as far as it stays interesting.

For SG first timers:
We started and watched the first seasons on Hulu and switched around 3-5 to Netflix.
These shows are good clean SciFi, but beware especially of the first episode if watching on Netflix as there is full frontal female nudity (as mentioned above).
Don't expect a full explanation of how they got away with what they did at the end of every episode, sometimes they just fade to black and you can fill in the rest. The principle part of the story dominates which is more important.
Most of the stories are pretty well written and planned out with good loop backs to characters. Honestly one of the best SciFi shows we have seen. Of course there are some dud episodes (cough ... Dom Deluise ... cough), but most of those seem more like fillers or flashback clip shows.
Great way to watch something we have not seen and watch with our son.

One caveat if you watch SG1 seasons 8, 9, and 10. The season 10 - and SERIES - finale leaves a few loose ends/unanswered questions. So much so, that there were TWO stand-alone DVD movies to wrap these up.

You will want to watch these: "Continuum" and "The Ark of Truth". Luckily I still have these on DVD, because I have no idea where to stream these from or if you even can.

PlutoTV app has both for free I believe and all the major digital rental/purchase storefronts have them to rent at least.
