I didn't start watching until the first couple of seasons were available on ... gasp ... DVD (remember those)?

Got the first season because I was bored. Laid on the couch all weekend watching the entire set of shows. Called in sick on Monday and Tuesday so I could go buy and watch the second season.

I used to own the movie, all ten(?) seasons and the SG-1 movies. I rewatched them a couple of times.

It holds up surprisingly well. I wouldn't argue against a reboot, but I would want to see something different rather than just copying the old shows with a different cast.

I think maybe the last couple of seasons were kind of a bit of stunt casting and while it eventually sort of worked, those were the worst shows since it was just sort of a rehash of the "Well, we pissed off yet another super-alien race by existing so lets kick their asses" idea. New villains, same as the old villain.
