In light of Executive Producer Robert Cooper’s comments on the search for an alternative outlet for Stargate SG-1 after its cancellation by SciFi Channel, and the need for support for the show to remain strong if it’s to have a chance, we’d like to urge all US fans to register at the Apple iTunes store and buy the show downloads.
Season 10 episodes are available at a cost of only $1.99 each while a full season pass is $37.99.
This will help to demonstrate concrete financial support from the fanbase for Stargate SG-1 to any outlet looking to pick up the show and to MGM, while they’re deciding if they can go ahead with mini-series or movie-of-the-week or direct to DVD projects.
Such a show of support, readily quantifiable by the studio, could help offset the impact of the poorer TV ratings garnered by Stargate SG-1 in its enforced head-to-head with cable powerhouse Monk.
As Stargate is only available to US-based fans, non-US fans could contact iTunes customer support and MGM and request downloads of the show for their country store.
To buy an episode of Stargate on iTunes and demonstrate concrete support for the show at only $1.99, go to the Apple iTunes Music Store now.
im not entirely sure, but i dont think SciFi gets any dvd/itunes download money, so it would only help convince MGM, and MGM already seems to want to continue SG1
That’s true, but the more popular and profitable SG-1 is proven to be, the more leverage MGM will have in convincing another studio to take the shown on.
I would love to support SG1, But I will never install iTunes to do so. If they offered it through napster or some playsforsure service, I would be more then happy to do so. Besides that most of the money does not even go the MGM.
