Trivia: Originally the show was to finish around the time Apophis was finally killed (which we saw in season 5 episode 1) Later on the show was supposed to finish at end of season 7 with a feature film but ratings made the show continue on from season 7. After season 10 there were two feature films. Any other planned films to do with SG1 where cancelled due to the show's production company running out of money. One of the cancelled feature films was about Jack O'Neill and introducing the Stargate to the public.
Trivia: In this show, Amanda Tapping played an Air Force scientist, who explored other worlds through the stargate. In Due South: Starman (1996), she played an Air Force scientist, who was apparently studying U.F.O.s on Earth.
Answer: While the series was undeniably successful, filming it is a long process, taking many months of often long days. Anderson, after several years of doing this, wished to spend more time with his young daughter, who he felt he was neglecting, and requested that his role in the series be scaled back. Ultimately, he decided to leave the main cast altogether and only make occasional guest appearances.
