In 2006, Stargate SG-1 was recognized as the longest running consecutive sci-fi series by Guinness World Records. Stargate refers to the science fiction media franchise beginning with the 1994 feature film Stargate, and the subsequent body of works that detail an elaborate fictional universe. The story of the film was continued in novel form, in two live-action television series (Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis), one animated series (Stargate Infinity), and in other derivative works.
Owned by MGM, the franchise has proved successful even 12 years after its conception.[1] However, due to multiple developers working separately and independently on the franchise over the years, as a whole, the various Stargate productions are not entirely coherent. Although no set of works form a "correct" canon, the largest fanbase exists for the story which begins with the original film, and continues with Stargate SG-1 (1997-Present)
