So... That's where everybody went!

Some people watch the Super Bowl just for the commmercials. Are Stargate fans in for a treat this year! Former Stargate SG-1 leading man Richard Dean Anderson ("Jack O'Neill") is jumpstarting the rest of his career with a new commercial for MasterCard. At the end of December he shot the commercial for their "Priceless" campaign, which is now set to air during Super Bowl XL on Sunday, February 5.
In the ad Anderson slides down a wire, drives a semi truck through a fence, and blows up a building -- then is found in a convenience store purchasing replacements for all the things he used to make his escape "priceless." The actor filmed a 30-second and 60-second version to begin airing in regular rotation March 6.
"While I've had offers to bring the MacGyver character back to life, MasterCard had the sense of humor I felt was needed to bring the character back," Anderson said. "The commercial really speaks to how oftentimes everyday items are truly 'priceless' and can serve as life savers."
The ad will air during the game's fourth quarter. Following the premiere, MasterCard's Priceless.com will offer behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from the filming of the spot.

So... That's where everybody went!
The 6:00pm weekday run on SciFi Channel is in Season Six.
The Monday night 8-11pm three hour block of SG-1 is in early Season One. (The 12th, 13th, & 14th Episodes of the series air next Monday.)
The Friday night new episodes are in the middle of Season Nine.
Thanks GreenLanternCorps that gives me some grounding as to where I am in the series.
"what a load of crap that Macgyver was. and truly leftist too."
Come on! I'll bet you couldn't fashion a small nuclear warhead from a wad of used gum, a tampon, and an old accordian....
Who needs an actress. I don't want her faking it.
You're welcome. I just got hooked on SG-1 myself. I bought the Season One DVD's and am slowly working my way through them. I've also been reading way too much SG-1 fan fiction on the web... (Cuts into my freeping time, don't tell JimRob...)
correct.....I would have needed some YELLOW CAKE too....
either Betty Crocker or Duncan Heinz
They have P90's in the later episodes, not sure if they switched from MP5's at some past season, I'd have to find a Season 1 DVD to confirm.
That is one of my favorite episodes. I hate what they have done so much I am watching it from the beginning instead of watching the new shows.
I THINK she is married, and she was out at the beginning of the season on maternity leave.
Yes, Amanda Tapping did miss several episodes due to maternity leave.
In the SG-1 universe Samantha Carter was working at Area 51.
(I am reading and watching way to much of this show!)
I think they went to the P90s in Season 3 or 4. Before that it was H&Ks. I never really liked the new guns.
If I were in charge, though, I would get them someting with a bit more stopping power. 20 shots on target to put down one Jaffa is just too many!
Richard Dean Anderson/SG-1 ping
Thanks for the ping! SG-1 Season 9 is a little duller without Anderson. He's probably a left wing whacko but, heck, I just like to look at him; I don't have to try to carry on a conversation with him - thank goodness. I still like the Free Jaffa and all their troubles in working out their new nation. And I'm really enjoying Atlantis' second season - lots of action and effects.
Just watched Atlantis "Grace Under Pressure" episode. My husband and I were ROTFLOAO from some of the lines between McKay and Carter. She needs to show up for real a few times...
;D
McKay is so great on Atlantis! And "Grace Under Pressure" showed him at his best (nuttiest?) with his interaction with Carter.
