It was a two-year series on Showtime (used to be right after SG-1 when SG-1 was on Showtime), starred Luke Perry and Malcolm Jamal-Warner (and more importantly to me, Peter Stebbings (aka Malek)). The premise of the show was that a castrophic disease killed off every adult, leaving only the children to struggle in the world left behind afterward. The series starts when those kids are grown (about 15 years later).
The series is basically about the struggle between our heroes and their fragile attempt to rebuild what had fallen, and other people's attempts to stop them. The series has its flaws, I have to admit (namely glacial pacing in some eps and some cheapness that shows up occasionally), but I love the characters and the premise. Since it was also filmed in Vancouver, it has a ton of actors that show up on SG-1 or Galactica or the rest of the shows that film up there so that's also kinda fun. Part of their standing set is also the gateroom redressed. That whole similarity is what prompted this whole crossover thing in the first place -- it was just too obviously an AU to SG-1 universe.
But no one's going to have to know anything about the series for our fic, since it's told from SG-1's perspective, and they obviously don't know anything about this world they stumble into. So don't worry, you can still read it! (g)
