Just been confirmed by GateWorld today. Stagate SG-1 will be:

[...] the longest-running science fiction series in U.S. television history, surpassing the nine years and 202 episodes of The X-Files. The series will air its remarkable 200th episode early in Season Ten.

This is a great news for a show that learned to evolve over the years and make sure they don't loop back to themes previously used in the show. Even with the important cast change of season nine the shows rating is still strong and it sure convinced Scifi Channel to renew the show for an other 20 episodes. Even before the departure of Richard Dean Anderson in season nine, Scifi downgraded the seasons length by cutting them from 22 to 20 episodes starting in season eight. This choice did not affect the show in it self but might be a sign that the series is starting to fade...

But lets not look at the downside and hope they still make great entertainment! Let's mention that the Stargate spin-off series has also been renewed for a third year. Stargate Atlantis starring Joe Flannigan will continue the current season in January joining SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica for new episodes.
