The science fiction genre has seen the birth of numerous science fiction franchises over the years, from Star Wars and Star Trek to cult classics like Babylon 5. One of the most underrated is the Stargatefranchise, which officially kicked off with Stargate: SG-1. Showrunners Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner deserve credit not only for launching a series that continues to hold a dedicated fanbase 25 years after its inception but also for having that series serve as a launching pad for a whole franchise. While it's common for shows like Peacemaker and Loki to spin out of feature films, SG-1 didn't have the luxury of a streaming service or an era where genre fare was commonplace. Its origin story boils down to unexpected success.
