    We need EVERYONE to help here. Please save SG1. Its the best thing since Star Wars!

    Mike over at http://www.savesg1.org/ has come up with the greatest idea I have heard to save SG1

    1. Empty a tissue box
    2. With a bold marker, write "SEND MORE SG-1" on the side.
    3. Mail it to the addresses listed HERE

    I have provided the addresses below for those of you who may not be able to get there.

    I personally am going to send Tissue boxes to everyone on the list! Its CLASSIC!


    Bonnie Hammer, President
    NBC Universal | Sci Fi Channel,
    30 Rockefeller Plaza,
    New York NY, 10112

    Mark Stern, Executive VP Original Programming
    NBC Universal | Sci Fi Channel,
    30 Rockefeller Plaza,
    New York NY, 10112

    David Howe, Executive VP and General Manager
    NBC Universal | Sci Fi Channel,
    30 Rockefeller Plaza,
    New York NY, 10112



    If you would like to see Stargate SG-1 have the opportunity to end properly - or continue on with a mini-series or direct-to-DVD movies, then please write a postcard of encouragement to MGM at:

    Charles Cohen, Executive Vice President
    MGM Television Entertainment
    10250 Constellation Boulevard,
    Los Angeles CA, 90067

    Postcards are required, because sometimes letters are ripped open and the message inside is destroyed.

    You can also address letters of support for the members of the cast:

    Stargate SG-1 Productions
    Bridge Studios
    2400 Boundary RD, Burnaby, BC
    Canada, V5M 3Z3

    Telephone calls are also useful. NBC Universal:

    (212) 757-5294 and (212) 956-2395
    Remember these are long distance for those of you who do not live in (212) area

    Moleman edit: Please post this recent news in our SG-1 thread. :)

    This might be premature- Sci-fi cancelled SG-1, not MGM, and a producer of the show have said SG-1 will continue, they just don't know in what form yet.

    "As far as the future I can't comment yet because nothing has been confirmed," Cooper said. "What we want to emphasize is that the franchise is not dying. SG-1 will go on in some way. We're just not ready to announce how."

    A formal announcement from the studio and the network is expected later this week.

    Cooper also emphasizes that, though emotions are running high among Stargate fans who have just learned the news, it is important to keep the show's ratings strong throughout the remainder of its run on SCI FI. "What's most important is that fans don't take out their frustration with SCI FI by not watching," he said. "In fact, what they need to do is watch both SG-1 and Atlantis LIVE and make sure the ratings stay strong.

    "That helps prove to other outlets that might be interested in SG-1 that the show is still as strong as we think it is


    SG-1 also has a good shot at getting picked up by another network, though (ironicaly, Showtime's new president has shown interest in wanting the show back in the past few weeks).

    Personally, I'm gonna wait a week to see if anything is actually annoucned before I start chucking kleenex boxes over to Scifi and MGM ;)
