In the current issue of TV Guide, Stargate SG-1 fans are given quite a few interesting spoilers about the upcoming second half of the season, but one of the biggest surprises was the announcement that the Stargates are not returning to the SciFi Channel until April 2007. This information comes on the heels of the announcement that SciFi is moving Battlestar Galactica to Sundays starting January 21, 2007, presumably to increase the show’s failing ratings. Along with the Stargates, Battlestar had been part of SciFi’s record-breaking “SciFi Friday” until the channel broke up the schedule to accommodate their goal to broadcast new episodes of their original programs year-round. It hasn’t been revealed if the Stargates will return to Fridays or if they’ll also be moved to a different night.
Thanks to prion for the tip.
If the stargates and battlestar go back to FRI. the ratings will probably go up.
