Terminator : The Sarah Conner Chronicles Premieres on SyFy...

That was the great part about SG-1 and SGA. They had humor in the show without it getting in the way. The stories were serious 99% of the time (there were exceptions, but unlike say the X Files they worked well) but you had cast members that could be counted on quipping a line or making a gesture or whatever to evoke laughs.
That was actually something RDA stipulated when he took over the role of Oneill. He said "I liked what Kurt Russell did in the film, but I can't be that serious every week for season after season without losing my mind." He also stipulated the show have an ensemble cast more like ST or B5 rather than just 2 leads like the film or X Files...he really didn't want the entire show riding on his shoulders like MacGyver did.
Then there's SGU which is if anything less humorous than BSG.

For example, I was and still am a big fan of "Caprica" but I admit that it could have used a little joke or laugh here and there. I can pretty much say with confidence that from the 20 episodes that were made of Caprica there are less than 3 or 4 slightly humorous lines I can think of! LOL At least BSG had some comedy which was used sparingly but it was almost always effective. My wife got me to start watching Friday Night Lights. Same problem. "Why are these people always miserable?" They seem to thrive on just not being happy, no matter what! LOL "Intense" is good, but it's got to be tempered some. _________________________ •XBL/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite •Logitech G27 Nixim •360 Wheel •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo •X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro/Logitech Z-5500 •Win 7 64
