According to the SciFi Channel, Richard Dean Anderson, former star and executive producer of "Stargate SG-1," returns to the series for its historic 200th episode.
Anderson, who reprises the role of General Jack O'Neill, will also make special guest appearances in a number of episodes of both "SG-1" and "Stargate Atlantis" that are slated to air in the upcoming new seasons this summer.
The 200th episode of "SG-1" - cleverly entitled "200" - will center on the SG-1 team as they serve as advisors on a television series that bears remarkable similarities to the goings-on at Stargate Command. As they pitch to the producer the many adventures that they have been involved with over the years, the team discovers that truth really is stranger than fiction, but that nothing is stranger than the machinations of Hollywood.
With its upcoming 10th season (its fifth on SciFi, the first five aired on Showtime), "Stargate SG-1" will become the longest-running sci-fi series on American television, surpassing "The X-Files" and each of the incarnations of "Star Trek."
"Stargate SG-1" stars Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Michael Shanks, Claudia Black and Beau Bridges.
The season premieres of both "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate Atlantis" are set for July 2006. --Shannon Nolley
