It got so popular, had occasional Star Trek references, even a cameo by Leonard Nimoy, and I still couldn't get myself to enjoy it. It's such a a shame.
My grandparents used to watch it. I think it had one (1) funny moment I saw in all the show's run that I caught when living with them - when Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls up Bill Nye and says "I hear you've been talking shit about me", and Nye immediately hangs up the phone in abject terror.
Their cameos in SGA were funnier. "Way to make all the kiddies cry neil, feel like a big man??"
I watched a lot of it back in the day and by like season 10 (I have no clue how long it ran) I realized it was super boring and bad. There would be jokes as lame as “dude owns a Nintendo 64”. That was the entirety of the joke.
Also there is a long running arc about a main character who is physically incapable of talking to women unless he is intoxicated (aka alcohol).
At some point the "humour" was just pop culture references.
