Stargate SG-1 is a fantastic series that ran from 1997 - 2007 giving us 10 seasons of adventure, This show is based off the movie Stargate released in 1994. The general plot of both the movie and the show is that during an archaeological dig in Egypt a device is found that allows people to travel to distant planets through a wormhole. With this discovery the US Air force is put in charge of the secret facility known as Star Gate Command (SGC).
The main focus of the show centers around the flagship team known as SG-1 traveling and exploring different planets. During their exploration they discover a race of aliens called the Goa'uld, a parasitic creature that takes over human bodies and pose as the ancient gods of Earth. Fighting, and looking for a way to defeat the Goa'uld is a large focus of the series, but does not cause the series to become stale.
Stargate SG-1 has also led to 2 additional series Stargate: Atlantis, and SGU Stargate Universe neither of witch had as many seasons as SG-1. Unfortunately I have not seen either of these two yet so i can't pass judgement on them yet. All three of these Stargate series are available on Netflix UK, so I do plan on watching them at sometime and I hope to post a review at that time.
My final suggestion on SG-1 is that any fan of Sci-Fi should watch this show if you haven't already. watching the Stargate movie first would be helpful for the first episode or two, but is not required to enjoy.
