Yessss stargate forever!!!!!!!
❤❤❤@@StargateFandomPodcast
I miss SG1. I never missed an episode. The acting and writing were top notch. The humor, the action. I loved it all.
I heartily agree. Now they’re older, they could voice-act a video game instead, and bring back the characters we all love.
There were some terrible episodes, but I watched them anyway because as a whole it was awesome.
Off the top of my head, there were 3 episodes I absolutely did not like, but the entire series is one of the best sci-fi experiences ever. Every year or two I marathon the series over again, minus those few episodes that annoy me. They had 219 episodes, so 3 bad ones isn't that bad.
I am of the opinion that Stargate is the greatest SciFi franchise of all time, bar none. I love it.
Listening to the commentary on the episodes, you really understand it was this magical combination of people that made this show special. Even as I rewatch episodes I remember the stories of things happening behind the scenes and just adds to the love and enjoyment.
"Sir, we can't name it 'Enterprise'."
" Why not?!"
Classic.
Wasn’t the line “yeah, see, I don’t understand that.” ? I could be wrong though.
It's great hearing Richard Dean Anderson's voice. It's like hearing an old friend again. 😀
It’s great that he lost weight. He looks like his younger self just with white hair and a few wrinkles.
Indeed
And he's so much healthier now 😋. They keep teasing a SG-1 reboot and if they do finally do it, I hope RDA is somehow involved in the show.
He's aging so gracefully!
@@ElderSnake90 He really has especially for someone who beat cancer repeatedly.
He’s like a friendly Harrison Ford.
Lol.
Huh? Harrison Ford is a bit reserved, but I wouldn't call him unfriendly - he always seems pretty genial in every interview I've seen with him.
@@yellowblanka6058Ford just has this wonderfully grumpy act going on. 😂
@@pieterboelen2862Yeah, he will act "grumpy" in interviews, but you can tell it's very "finger on the nose", I've never seen him legitimately be an ass.
@@yellowblanka6058Yes indeed. As far as I can tell, he does it all in his fun. And funny it is!
I really wish they had put something into an early SG-1 episode, asking Teal'c why he decided to trust the humans from Earth. Teal'c could have said, "Because O'Neil reminded me of a great teacher I had when I was a child.
This would have been a reference to an episode of MacGyver, in which MacGyver was teaching a high school class where Christopher Judge played a student.
Judge was an extra in one of the MacGyver episodes?!
@@Leo-vx6cv Yeah, IIRC he was on two episodes. And not an extra but a actually acting with Dean. As mentioned the one, he was a student in class that got picked by MacGuver to demonstrate a event and they exchange some phrases and do some action etc.
As well there were many episodes where the actor (forgot the name now) that was the General Hammond in SG-1 and he was as well co-actor.
It is actually funny to watch old 80's and 90's shows, as you find quickly how many star started from small parts in various different series and then they got to movies and got name...
But Judge, Andersson and "Hammond" were already familiar to each others from MacGyver when they started to do SG-1.
That is why I think that while Judge told the story to be casted as Teal'c, that I always imagine that Andersson would have given a slight suggestion for his selection, you know, from the past....
@@paristoyes the guy who starred as Macs handler from the Phoenix Foundation and who played General Hammond were doubles for each other throughout their careers. I think I saw or read that somewhere.
That's an awesome fact! So cool. Thanks for that.
I remember that episode of MacGyver where he schooled a younger Christopher Judge and taught him a lesson about respect and many other things. I told people about that and they looked at me like Whaat?? It was a great episode.
Richard is such a prime example of humble, yet massive celebrity - back when he was still active. And it looks like his health has improved substantially from his retirement years. Of course he's still retired, but he looks sharp, thinner and closer to his prime of late 40 early 50's. I hope he's having a wonderful time. He gave us an accumulated joy of hundreds of thousands of years, so it is only right he gets to enjoy his own time to himself.
Thank you for being the man you are, Richard. You are a huge part of my childhood nostalgia.
He really does, I think he had some health problems but looks so fantastic now. I really hope he is enjoying health now and retirement, so well deserved!!!
@@StargateFandomPodcast I suppose being extremely active (SG-1 was probably more than a regular full-time job) before going into full retirement is a system shock because you don't adjust your habits (eating, mostly) to the new reality of reduced activity. Once you find the balance again, it gets better - but that takes a while.
I miss seeing Richard on screen. His humor and laughter is contagious and always makes me smile. Thanks for lightening up the world!
Gotta say Jack is my most fave character of any movie or TV show ever. We've watched every episode many times!
Thank you Hard Dean Anders!
damn, his weight loss, made him look years younger. Respect. It's great hearing his voice again after all those years. I'd never imagine remembering Stargate as fondly as TNG or DS9, man that show was good
(A fond memory) A friend visited me one weekend. After dinner we watched a comedy sketch show, followed by SG1. When they were over, we noted we had laughed so much more during Stargate. Such a great show. 😁
Indeed. 😆
Was it the time loop episode?
@@rageagaintstheNWO No, just your average episode. They were often full of wit and dry humor. 😆
How I miss SG1! All the cast was amazing, including the secondary characters.
My Richard Dean Anderson story is from about 30 years ago when I worked as a building inspector for the city of Riverside California. I stopped at a Subway restaurant for lunch and as I got out of my car I noticed three children playing in a van in the parking lot. As I walked past the van to the restaurant the children froze and stared at me as I walked by. I entered the Subway restaurant and walked directly to the bathroom to wash my hands and when I came out, there were the children with their parents standing behind them waiting for me. They were convinced that I was Richard Dean Anderson, from the MacGyver show and wanted my autograph. I explained that I was not him, but they insisted on the autograph, apparently not believing me, so I gave them a MacGyver autograph on a napkin and they left the restaurant happy. 30+ years later I still have a slight resemblance to Mr Anderson, except that my hair has not turned gray yet, due to the genes that I inherited from my father.
Ah, you must be the doppelgänger Hard Dean Anders
hair turns white because of lack of copper.
@@zzBaBzz I haven’t heard that before, but I’ll definitely check it out. My beard has a lot of gray in it when I don’t shave for several days, but the hair on my head is still 98% dark at age 67.
@@zzBaBzzthat’s a part of it but not really. Most cases won’t be reversed or even prevented by increasing copper even the correct form.
[insert "Xena" joke from Simpsons]
-But Xena can't fly!
-I told you, I'm not Xena, I'm Lucy Lawless!
When I was a kid, MacGyver aired in my country. It was a post-communism era, and I grew with MacGyver. He was my hero. I wanted to be as versatile as he was, the jack of all trades kinda person. Then in late 90s, I believe, SG-1 aired in my country and me and my friends really loved that show. Richard Dean Anderson has become my hero since then.
I loved the first season of SG1 when they threw in the McGuyver jokes. Always made me laugh.
One of the episodes of SG1 has Carter humming the Stargate theme in an elevator. Apparently the script just said "Carter enters elevator and begins to hum". Amanda Tapping thought it would be hilarious to hum the McGuyver theme but, as she went to hum it, realized she couldn't remember it. So she hummed the one theme song she could remember. But it would have been a great joke had she remembered the tune.
If you haven't seen it, this is an out take when Amanda did a McGuyver gag on RDA.

SG1 is probably my favourite TV series of all time and Richard Dean Anderson was so instrumental in the shows success.
So many wonderful memories.
Thanks Richard
Absolutely loved Stargate SG1, it just worked so well with each Episode being a different Story, though with a common thread and the Cast took it way beyond the original Movie, which was cool, but each of the characters in SG1 made their own mark...They don't write this level of Shows anymore , however look at the depth of characters, Daniel Jackson was wise, knowledgeable, yet also emotionally flawed in many ways and Sam Carter was such a strong character, very clever, problem solver, tough as hell, with a touch of empathy...and beauty. I always felt Jack used his humour to be likable, to be part of the team, but always knew when to kick it up a notch and lead, get in the Fight and Teal'c was a born Warrior, yet humble, respective. It was a lesson in Human Traits and Morals, without being Preachy...I wish current Writers/Studios could learn this balance. Anyway, loved the Show...Absolute Professionals, all the way.
There were the major arcs - like with the hunt for the system lords, the Ori, the Replicants, the Asgardians - that tied the episodes together. Also, it was nice that they found some money between the cushions to make two TV movies to close off the arcs that were left hanging (the last system lord, and the Ori).
Are you a fan of, Star trek TNG?
Couldn't agree more. Current scriptwriters could go and study SG1 episodes and learn how to properly execute the craft they don't understand very well.
I'm a ways into season 5 on a re-watch right now, my 2nd watch (man it's been years), and I was thinking to myself just how much the show is actually teaching: Morals, Science, Loss, just everything is in there. But yeah, Morals as I read your comment and I'm just nodding my head in strong agreement.
Thanks for both, Richard. Each show had it's great moments - as something of a geek I lean toward McGyver, but then SG1 had Sam, a geeks dream. All great fun!
Is Sam Carter really a geeks dream? We should ask the smartest man in two galaxy's if that's correct.
I had to walk about a mile home from the bus stop every day after school.
I cut a trail through the woods that eliminated about half the distance just so I could get home in time to watch MacGyver.
I watched a cause of Sam!!
I first saw him in "Seven brides for seven brothers" the tv series. I wish it had continued longer as it was entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
I loved how he blushed about the name and font bit!😂😊😂
He looks great after the weight loss nice seeing him look so good.
I commented this as well. He looks like his younger self only with white hair and a few wrinkles.
I like him, no matter what weight he is/was at!
In 1997, Captain Samantha Carter referenced the series when she said "it took us fifteen years and three supercomputers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth." (SG1: "Children of the Gods")
In 2005, Dr. Rodney McKay mentioned MacGyver when he was asked to fix a Puddle Jumper that he considered damaged beyond repair. (SGA: "Condemned")
It's funny how it has become a verb right? Ah the power of television. :)
All these years later, I’m still astounded how Stargate Cast, Crew and Fans have all become a family! My social media still includes cast, fans and extras!
i've missed RDA since Stargate. Its good to see him. Thank you for this.
Richard Dean Anderson has earned full name recognition ;)
I missed RDA as well buddy
One of the best examples of taking a decent movie with an interesting plot and just expanding it 10x over into just an amazing show... and shows with all the spin offs.
I grew up on MacGyver and watched SG1 as a teenager. Absolutely loved both shows, very fond memories of my childhood.
This man is a treasure. I've had Fallout for a long time and the main reason I want to finish it one day is because RDA had a role in it.
Holy crap, that's right! And a good role as well.
The first Fallout or one of the later?@@helbent4
@@johan.ohgren Anderson voiced "Killian Darkwater", the mayor of Junktown, in the first Fallout game. A "good" character and not insignificant.
@@johan.ohgren The original Fallout game, circa 1997. Interesting to note that his character more resembles Col. O'Neal and not MacGuyver, although he did this in between the two.
@@johan.ohgren First one, I love 3, NV and 4, but somehow I just can't stand isometric RPGs as I grew up loving Dungeon Master and the like.
I absolutely loved Macgyver as a kid! The character was my hero! I would watch the show religiously and learned so much about science and resourcefulness (traits I still carry with me today as a 46 yr old). May God bless Mr. Anderson. 🙏
same, i'm the same age.
one funny memory i have while watching macgyver was during a scene where someone says, "hurry up before some jackass comes down the street". then they panned to 3 cars heading down the street and my youngest sister, who was probably around 4 at the time blurted out, "three jackasses!". we weren't allowed to say that word but our whole family laughed because it was so cute and she was correct. lol
Plus, the opening themes back then...I mean A-Team, McGyver, Knight Rider classics.
Absolutely@@happzy !
Hell yes! When I was a kid my family watched MacGyver every week. It was one of the best shows of that time.
There will never be a show better than Stargate. It’s an original story and today there are no more original stories. It was brilliant! Richard Dean Anderson was and still is brilliant. ❤
And don't forget Amanda Tapping.
Tons of shows much better than SG1
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
Dexter
Babalon 5
The Orvil
And many other shows.
It is also not original 😅
It's stolen from a movie and expanded upon, but taken from military stories and conspiracy drops that have been leaked many years long before the movie and show ever aired.
So never mind girl.
@@craiggibbons8228 did you forget to take your meds? Everyone knew it was a spin off from the original movie and this thread is talking about SG-1, not other shows that came out later. So typical.
@@craiggibbons8228 Can't agree with any of those. Breaking Bad is a phenomenal show, but I don't miss a single character from that show. Emotionally draining and everyone was a garbage person.
Closest for me would be Halt and Catch Fire. A phenomenal show that no one watched. Also emotionally draining though.. And I don't really miss the characters even though the actors did an incredible job on that show. An _incredible_ job.
Loved MacGuyver and Stargate. Good to see Richard doing well, I hope he’s having a great life.
Oh my! He is looking so good. The silver fox reigns! Hope he is as happy as he has made all of us. Merry Christmas!
Rich played hockey at Ramsey high school. Our rival. The kid was good!
Sometimes (rarely) in entertainment comes out a perfect storm of characters, chemistry between them, irony, good stories........
I don't want to belittle the film that started it all, but SG1 was truly that storm.
He took the good original premise of a story and brought it to a magnificent level.
The spinoffs weren't bad at all but they owed everything to the original series.
Agree. Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis were _so much better_ than the movie. It's rare for a show to completely overshadow a massive blockbuster movie. I actually can't remember a single show that has done this outside of Stargate..
I remember watching the 1st episode of MacGyver when it debuted and became a fan instantly. I'm also female, and thought he was So HOT! lol. Later, when Stargate SG1 debuted, I watched it from the beginning. I was sad to see the hair had been cut...but I got use to that quickly and loved how Richard Dean Anderson took that character and made you forget that he use to play as MacGyver. O'Neil was a powerhouse of a character. MacGyver was more gentle, less imposing.
Glad to see that Richard looks to be doing well, he looks great still too.
Richard brought so much joy to so many of us. Thank you!!!! And all those behind the scenes who made it possible ❤
Hard Dean Anders should have been the name for the character playing the lead in the 200th episode. :D
I grew up with Star Trek, I loved it with a passion and stiill do, I never thought II would like another Sci-Fi series as much, then Stargate came along and I fell in love with this series just as much. Thank you fo such an amaing time watching and re-watching this fantastic series 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
MacGuyver was the reason I became an engineer, much to the dismay of my parents when I was messing around in the garage or blowing up the back yard. My dad was late to work one day because for some reason his car battery was dead for some strange reason...
Everything he did in his career was so good and memorable
Ensemble casts that have chemistry often have longer runs. Look at Emergency, Stargate SG-1, Blue Bloods, Gunsmoke. All from different eras, but they had an ensemble cast, with a core star or stars that had a good time while they worked and it showed. Good writing was important, too. These things made them hits in their own time and in syndication.
I know they are all old, but they can still pull off an SG1 mini-series. O’Neil can be a retired general who gets dragged out of retirement. Carter can be a professor, Jackson can be doing something. And maybe Tealc disappeared, and that’s the catalyst. Of course, the Stargate program is huge and semi-public especially with Atlantis sitting in the middle of the Pacific ocean.
Stargate was good, but MacGyver was and always will be my favorite tv show of all time (tied with Dukes of Hazzard, tbh).
While I did enjoy the character of MacGyver I was kept from totally enjoying the show due to the fact that my knowledge of physics and how things work in general allowed me to instantly realize that 99-percent of what he did would not actually work at all in real life. Every once in a while he would do something that was at least somewhat plausable - or at least close to it - but most of the time everything he did was completely impossible. But I suppose that even if they had had writers who understood science more it would still be impossible to come up with that many realistic MacGyverings in every episode.
@@SLOBeachboy I enjoyed MacGyver back then and have almost finished a run through of it right now, just 3 episodes and the movie to go. I could live with the science plausibility of it all, even though you are correct. It wasn't meant to be realistic and other shows do much worse. The other thing you had to roll with was availability of the items. He always got locked up (or whatever) with exactly what was needed for that situation, it was exactly the right size and in the right amount. Sometimes that stretched a little too far for me, especially in later seasons but imagine how that would play out if they tried to make it scientifically accurate as well. There'd need to be a lot of empty science and engineering labs knocking about. 😁
Hard Dean Anders, i love it. I still binge watch almost every day SG1 while i paint. It is good to have these friends in the same room with me. I'm strange that way. Thank to both of you and all involved for sweetness in my life. The level of love and respect that came off that screen, boy i tell ya. There were simple gestures that Rick did, like touching Christopher's face that said more than words. I remember feelings. That i do remember.
There is only one MacGyver and, with no disrespect to Kurt Russell, there is only one O'Neal Two brilliant series I love to watch again whenever they are shown. BTW, I don't know when this video was shot, but Hard Dean Anders looks amazing.
Well Kurt Russell was O'Neall with 2 L's :)
One O'Neall and one O'Neal. The one with one L "has no sense of humour at all"
Kurt Russell was the perfect casting for the movie and Richard Dean Anderson was the perfect casting for the series!
It was impossible, but it would have been great if an episode featured the show's cast encountering the movie cast as an alternate version. That would explain some differences in the movie.
In Brazil, Stargate was an incredible show, yet it pales in comparison to the cultural phenomenon that MacGyver became. Even today, it's quite Hard (Dean Anderson, Hahaha) not to associate Richard Dean Anderson with MacGyver. His face or the iconic Rush's Tom Sawyer intro instantly brings Mac back to our memories, since in Brazil, they used that intro to announce the episodes. Back then, they would trim lengthy show intros and replace them with songs they deemed more appealing.
It's the same everywhere. Even though SG1 is one of my favourite all time shows, MacGyver was iconic af for an entire generation, almost two.
I can totally hear Tom Sawyer as an awesome McG intro. Thanks for sharing!
the lighter environment in stargate he mentions was something you could feel as audience, environment like that always fosters great shows!
RDA, please come back to Stargate !!!!! You are the best part of Stargate !!!!!
I loved Macgyver. everybody in class saw it and talked about it the next day- I was young and when Stargate came out I, was an adult and it was like seeing an old friend. now I am getting old and he still feels like an old friend.
RDA was perfect for Stargate. In fact, without him I doubt it would have been successful. He understood how to present the show as a perfect blend of drama but never too serious, light hearted in many ways. Fun. that was what made the show so watchable and rewatchable. It was fun. It is fun. It continues to be fun.
i have asd and it was unheard of when i was a child. That being said, MacGyver inspired me to learn, seek understanding and triggered my creativity. it had and still has an enormous influence on who i am today. i’d love to meet Richard Dean Anderson to think him for being such a great positive impact on a childhood that wasn’t so great. also, i have all of the Stargate related movies and tv series.
I've had a crush on Richard since I first laid eyes on him!! Loves both shows! 💋💖💋💖😆😆🌵👵🐺🖖🎉
Stargate was awesome. So glad to hear from Richard Dean Anderson!
Dang! Richard Dean Anderson looks amazing!! He obviously looks older, but young at the same time. Awesome!! Bing fan!!
He lost weight. He was getting up there for a while, so it’s great that he lost enough to still be healthy and look like his “old” self.
I love Stargate SG1 bought the entire 10 season series on DVD
Ditto. Including the direct to DVD releases.
Ditto.
Me too!!
And Atlantis.
stargate sg1 is real - season 5 episode 12 is just 1 aprovement. i watched the whole serie 3 times and i will watch it again someday. i want 40 more seasons! richard dean anderson, thank you and your team for this masterpiece - greetings to teal´c, dr. daniel jackson and samantha carter :)
I miss looking forward to a new episode of SG1 every week. Those were the days.. good old days ❤️
Richard Dean Anderson is a gift to the world. I miss seeing him in things but glad he is enjoying life. I would vote for him js
Being a Minnesotan, I always loved on Richard would slip in the local Mn jokes. I miss SG-1 a lot.
Didn't watch to much mcgiver in the 80s. Around 1999 I did pickup up on star gate. I was impressed that you RDA kept the original film quality in the series, because that was part of its charm. The characters were far more relatable in stargate as well. the stories were very well writen and original. A friend and I are still watching from the start.
I am so excited for you. You doing the full 300+ rewatch or just SG-1?
@@TheCompanionApp have them all I will see how it goes were in season 2.
"we all got along"
"Michael Shanks enters the chat"
They both ok here czcams.com/video/viGMySL4Xgg/video.htmlsi=FdqnV_cyObLOdiR3
I moved to British Columbia from France in 1989 because of MacGyver. I wanted to live where he lived, the landscape, trees , etc. And then , I moved to BC and decided to meet RDA. I DID, IN 2018, annnd I got to meet all cast of SG1 cast, stunt men that same year. I spent 2 days with the Gatecon 2018. Lots of autographes, pictures, great time I had. It was a blast…. ❤
Loved him in both, stargate one of my favourite shows ever, he came to Ireland years and years ago for the halo release and I couldn’t get to Dublin to see him , I am still gutted to this day !!
Loved MacGuyver as a kid, and SG1 as an adult.
Grew up watching MacGyver when I was little in Australia, with my family. Came to Canada to live here and briefly got the chance to meet Richard Dean Anderson in person at a 2018 fan expo in Toronto. Great guy.
I remember seeing him on general hospital and seven brides for seven brothers' tv series. I loved mcgivers. When I saw him first in Stargate i was at first disappointed because i remembeed Kurt Russell's performance in the movie. But he grew on me until i couldn't see anyone else play that role
Loved sg1, sooo many good times watching that. I loved the one where o'neil had a stone that let him change bodies with a regular dude, didnt tell anyone and used it as time off to go bowling!
I think 🤔 you’re confused on that.
MacGyver was my favorite show growing up.
I hope we will never see Disney make any remakes of his shows
Big fan 😊 what a nice guy !
Oh man, RDA is the man. He seems so down to earth. What an awesome dude.
Of course one could be wrong but I always had the feeling that Stargate was fun for the actors too.
I agree. I think a lot of that was because there was nearly always a combination of the four main characters in SG1 in each episode. With MacGyver, there was Dana Elcar and the recurring guests for a fair number of episodes but no regular group for the most part. So SG1 had more opportunity for them to play off each other.
I love how this just proves, Jack was a result of RDA's natural humor.. Sure you can tell on screen how easy it comes to him... but confirmation helps.
MacGyver was one of my all time favorite shows. I learned a whole new way of thinking because of that show and RDA. I once made a hook out of a drinking straw and a bent paperclip and retrieved a girl's bracelet out of a bathroom sink with it. I credit that achievement to Mac.
I grew with stargate. RDA, if you're reading this, thank you for being a TREMENDOUS actor, charismatic to the bitter end. Thank you for all great memories.
He will always be Jeff Webber first to me. If you think he’s fierce contending with adverse conditions or aliens then you should asked about his character’s GH wife Heather. She was wiley to say the least! GH. Mac, SG- Our family loves it all!!! Thank you for your works!!! They are greatly appreciated.
I'm re-watcing them again and just now realizing how many SG1 episodes I missed! Pre-DVR TV for the win IMO, still finding new stuff (and I own all the seasons on DVD)!
Thank you for posting this. Any chance to get to see and hear Richard is a plus for everyone, Thank you
MacGyver was by far my favorite TV series as a kid, and Stargate by far my favorite scifi series later on. Both due to Richard Dean Anderson being so charismatic as an actor. I miss seeing him in action, but I much appreciate that he decided to be a more dedicated family man and leave all that behind.
Loved him on General Hospital then MacGyver.
I remember that MacGyver episode with Chris, where you were demonstrating leverage. All things seem to come full circle.
I'm finishing up watching the TNG era Star Treks again and the next on my list is a rewatch of the Stargate franchise. Can't wait to see "Hard Dean Anders" in action again!
My dad died when he was 55 and I was 17 and then Stargate was on TV and I watched it just because of Richard because he somewhat looked like my father and he was about the same age as my dad. My dad would be just a couple years older today. You know there are some kind of people who strongly remind you some other people. I somewheat projected it like that.
It's good to see that his face is not so puffy anymore, hopefully he lives healthier.
I enjoy Richard Dean Anderson in everything he does... I loved MacGyver when it came out, but Stargate was excellent and fun to watch... in fact I watch it whenever I can on Comet T, as they air reruns of Stargate SG1
Did anyone else watch Legend series?
I wish that had had more seasons. It was fun too.
RDA often says that was his absolute favorite to make.
Love both shows! On a number of occasions I have anused myself by MacGyvering solutions to things. I think one of my favorite episodes of SG1 is when someone made copies of the team and O'Neil gets in an argument and fight with his double. Not sure, but I think it may have been Dom DeLouise who made the doubles. He was on SG1 a few times. I think one of his real life sons was a love interest of Sam's for a while. Some years ago there was a submarine adventure show that eventually had 3 of Dom's sons on as regulars. Don't know how many kids Dom has in total. I watched that series sometime last year.
Sea quest?
Love RDA. I loved MacGyver, as a Science graduate. We all knew that though a ;lot of the science was accurate, the timing probably wasn't, but it was a fun show, and he was certainly eye candy. Thanks for the (relatively) non-violent MacGyver
He was soooo funny in Stargate. Like just naturally funny. It showed he was enjoying what he was doing. I can't remember the epi but he's in bed injured or something. He's been told to stay in bed which of course he doesn't. Tries stand up. Immediately collapses and Tealc reaches down and one arm throws him face down on the bed and deadpans how the doctor is usually right in these situations. I'm not doing the scene justice because RDA was hilarious in this scene. One of many.
Richard looks sooo healthy here, currently looking forward to playing stargate timelines here, but this little clip is an added bonus to get me in the mood, best thing is i still see elements of Jack character shining through in Richards personality. I think thats why i loved him in the series so much of his own personality shined through he was so natural and organic.
Agreed, he look better here than he did in the last decade! But I dont have much hope for timekeepers I believe you meant. It look just like any rts but with a stargate skin on it. As always, wait for reviews!
ive played the demo actually and i personally love this style of game, so ive already ordered it. Besides ive always been a firm believer in making my own mind up rather than watching through the eyes of others. There are many cases where what a review might find dull and boring i would find exciting and cool specially in stealth genre , it is actually less of an rts and closer to gamers like desperados / commandos both of which i enjoyed :) But yeh Richards looking in top form !!@@Alastor255
2024 StarGate marathon starting. First the movie and then the series. Thank you for the memories.
I loved Stargate because it was a great concept, interesting episodes, Anderson's humor, and good actors and their characters. By the way, Ben Browder who replaced Anderson was a good fit too.
Thank you RDA, awesome shows!!!
I love Richard Dean Anderson, he's my favorite and he's still handsome as ever
Way back when, I had subscribed to Showtime in order to get the new Outer Limits because I was and am such a fan of that 60s classic. During its entire run, I was only impressed by one episode. Most were ho-hum, some okay, but I’ve never watched them since. As that was winding down, Showtime kicked off Stargate SG-1 so I hung with the pay channel a little longer. While the movie had been visually impressive, it was more a pleasant curiosity than an engaging film. The series was consistently good, often great, and became must-see viewing. I also bought the DVDs later on and have enjoyed repeated viewings when time permits, but I do have to admit that after the defeat of Anubis, it dropped off a bit (and I loved Ben and Claudia… and Morena). The Ori just didn’t work for me. I stuck with Atlantis until the end but there’s something in the design of that one that puts me off. SGU really worked, loved it, but sadly didn’t last. If there’s more Stargate of any kind to come, I’m in.
I grew up on MacGyver, loved the series and watch it to this very day.
Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis are my two favorite Sci Fi shows of all time. Loved it loved it LOVED IT! I'm rewatching SG-1 right now after having just finished Atlantis for the 5th time. Always makes me happy. I love those characters, everyone did such an amazing job with those two shows. Literally everyone brought their A game for those shows.
I miss them so much, I could watch those shows for all eternity.
Once Sci-Fi went dark, I lost most of my interest. The world is dark and miserable all the time, I don't need for sci-fi to be this hopeless dark hellish thing where everyone's lives are just garbage and drama 24/7.
If there is a new Stargate show, please please please do not go dark.. The truly GREAT part of Stargate is the lovable cast. I loved Battlestar Galactica, but I do not miss a single one of those people. I miss everyone in SG-1 and SGA. Stargate truly was something special. No one did that cozy sci-fi stuff better. Not even close.
I absolutely love His response to a particular Go'uld System Lord, "You can't finish a sentence with a preposition, Bastard" ! ! ! 😮😮😮😅😅😅
I miss this show!
First of all, greetings from Germany, I grew up watching Stargate... and I rewatched the Show atleast 2 times... I LOVE it till today.

I remember him as Jeff Weber on General Hospital...
SG1 was the most warm and comfortable show ever made. That's a weird way to describe a show but it's true.
I loved SG-1 until RDA left the show. I never liked Farscape, which is strange for me, since I’ve always loved scifi. So when they hired the cast from Farscape, I watched a few episodes, then stopped watching it. RDA was the humor and heart of the show, when he left, it left a huge hole that they never filled. I loved Jack O'Neill! SG-1 was terrific with him in it. And it was the first TV show I ever got on disc. My brother gave me series one as a birthday gift! Now I stream it on cable. It's like the good old days when there were no commercials on Showtime! Thanks, RDA! And I hope you get those ghosts out of your house! LOL. Nice seeing and hearing from Wylie, too!
