Trivia about Stargate SG-1

He also requested that Stargate SG-1 be an ensemble show, so that he would not be carrying most of the plot alone as he had on MacGyver.

The American subscription channel Showtime made a two-season commitment for 44 episodes in 1996.

Principal photography began in Vancouver in February 1997.

Upon hearing of MGM's plan to create a television spin-off series of the feature film Stargate, Wright and Glassner independently and unbeknownst to each other approached MGM and proposed their concept for the television series.

MGM released posters titled Stargate SG-1 within the next week without the knowledge of Wright or Glassner.

Anderson agreed to become involved if his character Jack O'Neill were allowed more comedic leeway than Kurt Russell's character in the feature film.
