This is a great show...however, the pilot episode titled "Children of the Gods" was a movie and not a TV episode, or the cut that is on the DVD is different, as it contains one scene with several seconds of full frontal female nudity and several more seconds of just above the waist. Other than this one small thing, this whole series is awesome.
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).
Excellent series for inspiring imagination, a contender to Star Trek.
Stargate SG-1 is an excellent series, that provides scripts to scratch the imaginations of young and old.
The production values of the series are first rate. Not only are the writing, acting, and direction first rate, but all the supporting crafts: costumes, make-up, sets, stunts, special effects, music, etc., show the love not only for their work, but for the fans who watch.
This show is totally inappropriate young or tweens kids. The first 4 or more episodes have way to much sexual context. The women are either being sold for sex or the men are telling them what they will do to them. All the episodes women are being used as sex toys. Parents beware do not let your kids watch this show.
There is too much focus on good and evil without true exploration of science (Star Trek excels in staying close to good science). Also full frontal nudity in the first episode. Too much focus on evil snake like creatures living in human hosts!
One of the best truly family friendly shows out there. The theme of friendship and the character exhibited by every member of the cast is worthy of watching. One of the best ensemble casts ever. In the entire series, there are only 2 episodes with a warning, season 1 disc one has brief nudity from the back as the bad guys try to find a new host and much later in the series, they show Sam and her boyfriend in bed talking. In 10 seasons and 2 movies, you can't ask for more. We own the entire set and watch it frequently. As a family who loves mythology and sci fi, it is great fun.
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.
There is not as much violence in this one. People die but there really is not blood at all. It is a great TV show and it will keep you interested. It is a must watch. There is positive role modeling as people work together and they help others. It is a good family TV show. There is full frontal nudity in the very first episode but otherwise there is nothing else of that nature at all. There is some creepy creature living in some people and that is a little weird - but it is not too bad.
Great show, but fairly violent and creepy. Also, the pilot episode has bare breasts shown for several seconds, but it isnt sexual. Other than that, fine for mature 12 yr olds. Not as good as some other sci-fi shows, like The X-Files and Star Trek, but still worth watching.
