NEW YORK (AP) - The Sci Fi Channel has pulled the plug on "Stargate SG-1," but there still might be life ahead for the long-running series.
MGM, which produces the show, is hoping to dock it on another channel.
"We do have plans," MGM spokesman Jeff Pryor told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "This is not the end of the 'Stargate' franchise. This is just the end of ('Stargate SG-1') airing on the Sci Fi Channel."
Earlier this week, Sci Fi announced it would not order further episodes of the show, now in its 10th season. The cable channel, however, has booked a fourth season of "Stargate: Atlantis," a spin-off that debuted in 2004.
The final 10 episodes of "Stargate SG-1," which logged its 200th episode Friday, will air next year on Sci Fi, Maureen Granados, a spokeswoman for the channel, told the AP on Wednesday.
Beyond that, MGM believes "in this new media world there are many more opportunities to continue (the) franchise," Pryor said. "We're exploring those possibilities."
The show, inspired by the 1994 movie starring Kurt Russell as an intergalactic traveler, has a devoted fan base.
"Even though there's been a slight dip in the ratings, there are still nearly two million homes tuning in a week," and up to about 10 conventions held each year, Pryor said.
They can't! I won't let them! SG-1 must continue...I mean at least until Sammy and Jackie get married, right?
