Stargate SG-1

Stargate SG-1 is a fantastic series that ran from 1997 - 2007 giving us 10 seasons of adventure, This show is based off the movie Stargate released in 1994. The general plot of both the movie and the show is that during an archaeological dig in Egypt a device is found that allows people to travel to distant planets through a wormhole. With this discovery the US Air force is put in charge of the secret facility known as Star Gate Command (SGC).

The main focus of the show centers around the flagship team known as SG-1 traveling and exploring different planets. During their exploration they discover a race of aliens called the Goa'uld, a parasitic creature that takes over human bodies and pose as the ancient gods of Earth. Fighting, and looking for a way to defeat the Goa'uld is a large focus of the series, but does not cause the series to become stale.

Stargate SG-1 has also led to 2 additional series Stargate: Atlantis, and SGU Stargate Universe neither of witch had as many seasons as SG-1. Unfortunately I have not seen either of these two yet so i can't pass judgement on them yet. All three of these Stargate series are available on Netflix UK, so I do plan on watching them at sometime and I hope to post a review at that time.

My final suggestion on SG-1 is that any fan of Sci-Fi  should watch this show if you haven't already. watching the Stargate movie first would be helpful for the first episode or two, but is not required to enjoy.

My rating out of 5:

The A-Team (TV Series)

The A-Team is an amazing TV series that ran from 1983 - 1987 providing 5 seasons of action packed mayhem. This show both aired and ended before my time, however i have watched the entire series at least two times and currently working on the third. At this time all 5 seasons are available on Netflix (American only).

The series follows a group of highly trained soldiers who were charged and convicted of robbing a bank in Vietnam days after the war had ended. Claiming they were Innocent the group escaped from a maximum security prison, and became mercenaries helping anyone who could find them.

During the series while helping people in different situations they are also actively hunted by the US Army causing some already difficult problems become nearly impossible to complete without getting caught.

One great thing about The A-Team is that in every episode they are shooting automatic rifles at people and not once do I remember them hitting anyone, and if they do they definitely don't kill anyone. Some younger viewers may not like The A-Team, but anyone who is a fan of the classics should watch this show if they haven't already.
