Oh, "Stargate: SG-1" (6, 9 p.m., Sci Fi), just when I found you, I lost you.

OK, I found you three years ago, but still, our time together has been much too short. We could have had a "Dr. Who"-like relationship where the show and I grew old together.

Alas, it was not meant to be. The Sci Fi Channel canceled the long-running series, kind of at the last minute, forcing the writers to come up with a series finale that isn't exactly final.

The show sort of concludes with those precious alien Asgards trying to transfer the fruits of their vast wisdom to humans before their entire race dies.

As the SG-1 team installs untested Asgard technology on its ship, the Odyssey, the evil Ori attack. Every time SG-1 tries to flee through hyperspace, the Ori stalk them, until resident genius Sam Carter (Amanda Tapping) finds a way to slow time way down.

Trapped on the Odyssey, the members of SG-1 must live out the rest of their lives together hoping Carter can figure out a way to save the ship from destruction.

No pressure there at all.

Like every other "Stargate" episode involving time travel, time stoppage or time loops - and in 10 years, there have been a few - this one managed to make me laugh, and almost cry, too.

Let's all have a moment of silence in honor of my canceled homies.

Sniff, sniff.

"Man vs. Wild" (7, 11 p.m., Discovery) frightens me.

It's this guy, Bear Grylls, deliberately putting himself in situations in nature where he could be killed. Then he offers us tips on how we can survive if we ever find ourselves unhappily trekking through the Everglades.

The things he does to make it out alive and unscathed are all sorts of disgusting, especially his food choices. He has eaten eggs straight from the nest, snake-on-a-stick and toads.

Eeew!

Tonight, the hardy Scotsman braces for the cold of Iceland, offering survival tips that include how to build a snow cave, live through a blizzard and avoid frostbite and forage for food.

Note to self: Do not travel to Iceland - ever.
