A blow by blow breakdown of the production process from concept to finished episode

Solutions is thrilled to share with you the Production Diary of Stargate SG-1 writer and Co-Executive Producer Joseph Mallozzi.  Over the coming weeks, he'll be taking us behind the scenes at Bridge Studios to explore how an episode of the show is made and bring us all a little closer to the production of this series we love and admire.  We'd like to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Joseph Mallozzi for willingly giving fans so much of his personal time as he guides us through the production process.

"This, dear readers/fervent fans/casual observers, is our starting off point to the wonderful world of television production: the writing team.  Granted, there are occasions when outsiders will enter our hallowed realm to take up the mantel.  Names like Wright, Judge, and Shanks have and/or will continue to adorn the celebrated Written By credits.  But, for the purposes of this diary, let’s stick to the standing regulars: Rob, Paul, Peter, and myself (let’s call me Montague) as I deliver you a blow by blow breakdown of the production process, from concept to finished episode."  -- Joseph Mallozzi, Writer and Executive Producer, Stargate SG-1, 06 Mar 2003.
