Not to take a away anything that SG-1 meant to so many people, but I personally would rank other series a bit higher. Back then I was not that much of a fan for these kind of comedic elements in SciFi. But I thoroughly enjoyed The Orville last year. Maybe I give SG-1 a spin. Can you recommend other SciFi series from back in the day? Babylon5 has the best story arc on the macro and micro level from my personal opinion. There were also other series like "Space - above and beyond" or "Dark Skies" that only got a single season despite incredible potential to paint a really deep and unique universe. I stumbled over Gene Roddenberry's "Earth - Final conflict" and am inclined to binch it.

The first season of Earth - Final Conflict was good, but the story telling and writing got weaker after that. Watch past S1 if you want but it's disappointing IMO after that given the strong start it had. The spin off of SG1, Stargate Atlantis follow's the same formula pretty closely. If you enjoy SG1 you'll enjoy SGA. Person of Interest is enjoyable as well, especially if you've done software development. Good mix of drama and humor. Reimagined Battlestar Galactica series is a go to for space / sci fi opera-ish story telling without the singing. If you have any familiarity with US Navy carrier operations, you'll also appreciate all of the little nods to how a modern military conducts it'd day to day. It did suffer from the writer's strike and got a little weak last season though. Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda had a good first two seasons and then it got really weak. The concept was good though, and the designs of the Systems Commonwealth High Guard warships is some of the most unique I've seen in science fiction. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
