O’Neill: “Teal’c, what is that?” Teal’c: “It is a Gua’uld long range visual communication device, somewhat like your television, only much more advanced.” O’Neill: “Huh. Think it gets Showtime?”

(SG-1 was originally on Showtime before moving to what was then the Sci Fi Channel.)

I must have forgotten about this one. 😀 I can’t actually recall others beyond the whole Wormhole X-Treme thing.

In the first or second episode Sam makes a MacGyver reference.

When I tried to find the quote, some people are saying it was editing out for tv and only on the DVDs. Weird.

“It took us fifteen years and three supercomputers to MacGuyver a system for the gate on Earth…”

Soon as I heard that I started singing the opening bars to the MacGuyver theme. It was one of my favorite shows alongside the legendary Airwolf.

the legendary Airwolf

Maybe it would interest you to know that the flying shots in the episode The Other Side was aerial stock footage from Airwolf!

edit: Sorry, incorrect. It was actually the film Firefox

I’m familiar with Firefox, which is also a cool movie! Never gets mentioned that it’s an Eastwood flick.

It's from the pilot, and it's removed from the extended cut version, along with the reproductive organs on the inside line. It's a terrible decision, especially as the genitals line is referenced not once but twice later on.

not the only time the cast references macgyver, tho this didn’t make the cut obviously haha

I could have sworn that was said during an outtake.

Pretty sure that was the ice cave episode (bounced to antarctic gate)
