Look at how they killed SG-1 in the middle of the Ori saga. They had a 200th show party for the cast and crew and one of the big wigs walked out on stage and wished them all the best in their future endeavours for no reason at all.

And that is probably the most popular show they have ever had, really.

I was also upset at Atlantis getting killed, but whatever. Kill the 2 good Stargate shows and replace them with that shit Universe show. Which they also killed on a cliffhanger.

FUCK SYFY. >_<

(Still bitter they killed First Wave)
Stargate SG-1 was even worse because it was still like their best rated show at the time.

I'm betting the real reason was money: The cast was expensive and Sci Fi is cheap.

Atlantis I was okay with because at least it finished all its shit up without the need for extra stories. It annoys the fuck out of me that after 10 years (Not all on Sci Fi, but still), SG-1 got the "Peacekeeper Wars" treatment. Granted, I liked Atlantis more at the end than the beginning and would have liked to have seen more, but it was complete.

Honestly, though, this is nothing new. Look at Sliders. Sci Fi ruined it the minute they got their mitts on it and while the decay wasn't immediate, it was pretty fast.

I mean, trying to do the "B-movie rip-off of the week?" LAME.

Just look at the last 2 weeks offerings. Alien Tornado and Space Twister. Sometimes it baffles me that these are the same people running USA, which has an abundance of great shows imo.
Hence I mocked it as nerdrage. Also...Seriously? Alien Tornado and Space Twister?

It's been bizarre to see them waffle, especially.

"We don't want to do outer space anymore."
"Catch Stargate Atlantis, starting...."
"Science Fiction is passé. We want more terrestrial stories like 'the Sixth Sense.'"
"Battlestar Galactica did how many viewers? Let's get on that shit!"

Also, it annoys me that I like Eureka so much, since the Hollywood cliché of "herp derp, the geniuses need the help of a retard to save the day!" is such bullshit.
