By: Karl Schneider
 Date: Saturday, March 10, 2007

Mania is happy to announce our latest contest, a giveaway of Stargate Atlantis: Season 2 on DVD.

Spun off from “Stargate SG-1”, the longest consecutively running sci-fi series ever, “Stargate: Atlantis” explores all new worlds of excitement with incredible battles, compelling characters, breath-taking visuals and plenty of humor. The series features a stellar cast including Joe Flanigan (The Other Sister), Torri Higginson (The English Patient), Rachel Luttrel (Imposter) and David Hewlett (“The Triangle”), who wonderfully capture the show’s brave new world.

With an enormous following and two Emmy®-nominations (2006) - Outstanding Music Composition for a Series and Outstanding Main Title Theme Music for Joel Goldsmith – “Stargate: Atlantis” Season 2 is a must have for anyone’s sci-fi collection. 

Available for the suggested retail price of $49.98 U.S. / $69.98 Canada, the “Stargate: Atlantis” Season 2 DVD set contains all 20 episodes on five discs. The DVD features cast and crew audio commentaries for each episode, numerous behind-the-scenes featurettes and a wealth of production design and photo galleries.

If interested, email maniaent@gmail.com with Atlantis somewhere in the subject/body of the email.

The DVD is available in stores now!

Didn't Dr Who go for 25 years or so without breaks?

Doctor Who I think went on for 26 straight years, 1963 to 1989ish.

But hell why do we need facts?

Due to the way the BBC produces and airs it's shows, there were significant breaks, even though it aired for 26 straight years. It's the longest running SF TV series, but it's not the longest consecutively running one.

Sorry the maths doesn't work out.

There are 52 weeks in a year and 20 - 22 episodes in a season of SG1. Which means 32 to 30 weeks off air.

Season 1 of Doctor Who ran for 40 weeks 1964 to 65 (20 weeks off air) and continued this type of run until 1969.

From Season 11 (Pertwee) This dropped to 26 episodes, still higher than SG1.

So DW is still more continuous than SG1.

Yeah there are less episodes and just as many breaks in DW as SG-1, but hell we will ignore that.

If they made even one episode a year from 1963 to 1989 that would still be twice as long as SG-1. DW made new episodes EVERY year from 1963 to 1989. How is that not "consecutively running" about that?

By your standards Star Trek can be the longest because there were 30 seasons, including the cartoon.

Just to throw my 2p's worth. DW was considered a "kids" show and was originally produced by Sydney Newman (a Canadian). His madate was to produce a show that was educational. His response was DW. It was not until Tom Barker took over the role of The Doctor that it became known as a SF show.

For evidence of this look no further than the fact that reruns of the series are shown nightly on BBC Kids in North America and CBBC (Childrens BBC) in the UK.

Now having said all that... I think the most realistic reason for the author's gaff is the American propensity to never look beyond their own borders <grin>.

Tom Baker took over in 74 -75. The show eded 14 years later. No matter what 14 is still larger than 10.

And Stargate has been off the air 6 months now, does that not make it "continutive"?

wrrlykam • Mar 11, 2007, 04:03am •
Barsoom.
Newman was Head of Drama and commissioned a family show not a chidren's show. He was an avid Sci Fi fan.

"When BBC Controller of Programmes Donald Baverstock alerted Newman of the need for a programme to bridge the gap between the sports showcase Grandstand and pop music programme Juke Box Jury on Saturday evenings, he immediately decided that a science-fiction drama would be the perfect vehicle for filling the gap and gaining a family audience."

CBBC only show the new series as far as I am aware, which is definately more youth oriented. If a show is popular with children then they will show it where and when children watch. With that reasoning then Big Brother is a childrn's show too as they watch that also, and highlights are shown in time slot where they can see it.

Funny how we get quickly sidetracked lol.

Is Atlantis shown on UK terrestrial TV. SG1 was shown on Channel4 but has disappeared completely along with any SciFi content. The only SG1 that shows up on their website now is a postcode (Zipcode). So unless you had SKY you most likeley not seen much of the last few seasons. :(
