SG1 was the kind of show that I would feel comfortable watching with my nephew (age 9), but still highly enjoyable for a more mature audience. Atlantis, too, seemed a family-friendly show. SGU is dark, creepy, and incredibly adult. It is another type of show entirely. It seems to have a similar grittiness to Caprica and Battlestar Galactica (not Classic), as if it is trying to attract their fan base. In the process, though, they have cut out the young sic-fi watching crowd whose parents are more comfortable with them watching Clone Wars and Ben 10. It is sad to me that Stargate has moved in this direction, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying SGU. I'm sure it would have been different if Stargate Infinity (animated,children's show) had taken off.
