One of the best Sci-Fi series ever made
I started watching Stargate SG-1 several years ago, and after my wife watched one episode with me she was hooked too so we bought all the seasons on DVD.
We're about half-way through Season 4 and it's just as good as the first three seasons. Love it, love it, love it.

Great Season
This series was "one of a kind" as long as Richard Dean Anderson is in it! Another great season!

Four is the charm!
For the first three seasons, Stargate SG-1 was to me a thoroughly watchable and entertaing "also ran" sci-fi show with a very likeable cast and a great premise for space travel that eliminated the need for spaceships, thus allowing humans from today to embark on the kinds of outer space adventure usually reserved for our descendants centuries hence.
But something magic happened in season four! Was it the writing? The special effects budget? The actors getting comfortable in their roles? Maybe a combination, but to me this season is where Stargate SG-1 left the "also ran" space opras behind and began its ascension (pun intended for you fans) to where it stands today as one of the great epic sci-fi TV series that people will be watching decades from now, I hope.
I had just completed watching all the way through season 8 on my own when my wife, who doesn't particularly like sci-fi as a genra, suddenly latched onto this series (another tribute to it's greatness, that non sci-fi fans can enjoy it) and had me watching it again from the first season forward. I promised to filter the episodes for her and make it a "best of Stargate SG-1" kind of thing.
During the first three seasons, I enjoyed re-watching the great episodes that established the goa'old (or gooy-old or whatever, even the Stargate actors themselves can't pronounce it consistently) and introduced us to the Nox and other aliens, but there were a number of episodes in each season we could just skip without missing much, and I didn't particularly care to see them again.
Then came season four! Which ones to skip? They're all, like, really good, and some are brilliant stand alone examples of sci-fi storytelling. And, they started doing commentaries for each episode! So, you could watch them once and then relive them through the eyes of the creators of the show.
Well, I won't go into each episode, but it's season four that contains the episode that officially made me a Stargate SG-1 fan, and that was "Window of Opportunity". This has got to be one of classic episodic sci-fi episodes ever written for any series, kind of like "The Inner Light" was for Star Trek Next Generation. I saw "Window of Opportunity" on TV and thought "Wow, this show has some writers who know what they're doing", and then I started buying the series sets and watching from episode one. The great thing about this episode is not only the Groundhog Day premise, but the sad and thoughtful ending.
Anyway, here's your window of opportunity to watch great sci-fi. Don't be surprised if you end up watching some of them more than once.

One of the Best
This is one of the best seasons of Stargate SG1! It has many of the most memorable moments and the special features are entertaining.
