Carefully treads theist issues. Many SciFi series are subtly- or overtly atheist, or condescending of theism at best.

What Parents Need to Know
About Stargate SG-1
Parents need to know that the series' main villains are a rather unsavory species called the Goa'uld, snake-like parasites that burrow into victims, take over their mind, and then use their body as an unwilling host. The process can be scary for young children to watch, and the concept of being taken over by a Goa'uld can be even more disturbing.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether they think there's life on other planets. In the Stargate universe, the galaxy is connected by a network of gates, and many planets have various types of intelligent life. Some are quite similar to humans and some quite different; some are friendly, some are indifferent, and a few are clearly hostile -- all of which might prompt parents and kids to wonder about humanity's role in the universe. Do you think we're alone out here? Do you think that an encounter with a hostile alien culture would convince us to put aside global bickering?

Be Warned
In the pilot episode of season 1 there is full frontal nudity. That is the only episode where this occurs but parents should be made aware of this.

Sci-Fi at its best.
A fun show. For the most part, the stories are fun and fast paced. The charactors drive the show. The main charactors are morally strong. A great show to watch (or rewatch).

fantastic!!!
The show has it's moments where it might be scarey for younger children but I have watched it since I was nine and have been hooked ever since! I have many favorite shows but I would have to say that SG-1 and Atlantis are both at the very top of the list. This is the only show that I have ever liked that I actually got my mom hooked on for a while.
