SciFi has been talking about how SGA has been getting worse ratings than their other shows. What they don't realize is it's the timeslot they stuck Atlantis in. Most people have stuff they need to do on Friday night and don't have time to watch Stargate live. They should take a look at their Live+7 ratings not just their Live ones.
I personally watch SGA several times on my DVR after Friday. I veiw it at least four times on Saturday unless I have a full day. Also, I watch it at least twice on Sunday. Then, I watch it everyday when I come home from school for the next week.
I'm amazed that SciFi Channel can be stupid enough to think that canceling Atlantis will not flush their ratings down the crapper.
I support this petition.
Please don't cancel this show when it's in its prime!
The show & the fans deserve more - keep SGA on the air in it's current incarnation, not as a couple of 2 hour movies!
I support this petition. First SG-1 now Atlantis, why do networks cancel great shows esp when the ratings are up.
Movies are great but 2 hours do not replace 20. Please reconsider!!!!!
I support this petition. I was very disappointed when I heard about the decision to cancel Stargate: Atlantis. There are so few good sci-fi shows on television, and this is one of the best ever done. I have friends who watch this show and don't even watch any other programs in the sci-fi genre. Stargate: Atlantis is bringing viewers to the Sci-Fi Channel who wouldn't normally be there, so I can't imagine cancelling this show in favor of tv or dvd movies, which wouldn't be bringing in the weekly viewers. These characters and stories deserve a broader episodic canvas on which to entertain us. I truly hope Sci-Fi Channel and all parties involved can reach a decision to continue Stargate: Atlantis for a 6th season.
I support this petition. My sister stopped watching Stargate after SG-1 was cancelled. I'll be stopping after Atlantis. Sorry Stargate Universe.

I support this petition.
I DEFINITLY SUPPORT THIS PETITION!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!!!
CANCEL SG-A?!!!
IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!
CoME ON GUYS!!! EVERYONE MUST SEND LETTERS TO SCI FI AND MGM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you know, i really hope sci-fi suffer a dramatic loss of ratings next year and regret this mistake... really hope, then justice will be served...won't make it any better, since stargate is the only decent thing on tv anymore, but oh well...
I am so sick of my favorite shows getting the axe. I am almost to the point of giving up on TV all together. Anytime I get into something it always goes away.
I support this petition. The fifth season began only this week in the UK, and now this. Even if SG: Universe is green-lit, it does nothing to soften this blow.
Seriously? Let's see first SG-1 which I was annoyed with, but even though I thought it had a few seasons left I accepted due to the ten year run of the show it was what it was. So no SG-1, BSG is gone after this year and Doctor Who is taking a year off. So what does Sci-Fi do? Take off it's only other good show. Great job! Let me guess another night of Ghost Hunters or better yet how about a craptastic sci-fi movie of the week. This is so disappointing. Atlantis has such a fun cast and stories. Oh well!
I support this petition. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO START SENDING EMAILS TO THE BIG WEBSITES THAT REPRESENT TH STARGATE COMMUNITY E.G. GATEWORLD AND ASK THEM TO START AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE TO SAVE ATLANTIS, THESE PETITIONSPOT PETITIONS DONT WORK WE NEED SOMETHIGN OFFICIAL. SOMETHING LIKE THE SAVE CARSON BECKETT CAMPAIGN ONLY THIS TIME INSTEAD OF A RALLY OUTSIDE THE STARGATE STUDIOS WE NEED TO RALLY INFRONT OF EVERY MGM OFFICE IN THE WORLD - AUSTRALIA, US, UK, ITALY, CANADA EVERY COUNTRY THAT HAS AN MGM OFFICE HAS AN ATLANTIS FAN AND WE NEED TO MAKE OUR COLLECTIVE VOICES HEARD. START SENDING THOSE EMAILS, THE SOONER WE GET AN OFFICLA WEBISTE, THE SOONER WE CAN START ORGANISING OUR PLAN OF ATTACK.
I support this petition.
Please don't cancel such an original series just because the ratings haven't been what you've expected.
This WILL hurt the SciFi network, and a Tv movie simply won't retain veiwership.
The other shows on Scifi don't interest me in the slightest, mostly because they are lame and pointless.
To cancel the best show you have after canceling Sg-1 and battlestar galactica only proves that someone is trying to ruin this network from the inside.
I support this petition. SGA is the best SciFi show around, cancelling it prematurely is as bad as blowing up a solar system *nod* Let the show go on, it must!
I support this petition. To judge by same day ratings in this modern technological age is stupidity. Fox learned that lesson with Family guy. This is an incredibly popular show and deserves to continue. How come Andromeda managed to survive for years? THAT was an awful show that deserved cancellation but somehow never had it. Stargate Universe won't be received well and will surely be more expensive to produce than Atlantis ever was because of the continual need for new set pieces and new races.
