Stargate is well known. There's Stargate memes all over reddit and imgur.
Some of us simply don't like it. I find it too corny and superficial to watch personally. If you like it that's ok, we're allowed to like different things, but I think you may be overestimating how many people are in fact familiar with the show and do not regard it as anywhere close to the perfect sci fi show.
That said, the original Stargate movie was an adolescent favorite of mine. I just find the show unwatchable.
I liked the movie and the first season or so of the show.
It didn't keep me long past that. Writing was mediocre at best. I gave Atlantis a few episodes and completely failed to discover why anyone was watching it.
Reddit and imgur are not mainstream like say facebook and twitter.
Perfectly fine if you don't like it. I was like you though, loved the Stargate movie, didn't get SG1 after like one episode so decided I didn't like it. Much later, it was on streaming so I decided to give it another shot and I couldn't get enough of it. Being able to keep watching episodes is a different experience than one episode a week.
