WARNING: Moebius spoilers. Sort of.
The Irrepressible Mr. Anderson 
[Rick is trying out ridiculous pie-like hat. Everyone is laughing at him.]
Peter DeLuise: We've gotta give you a better... No, it's making me laugh, Rick. Come on.
RDA: [Unwilling to relinquish the hat] Well, then it's working.
PDL: See, everyone else looks cool. You wanna be the only one who doesn't look cool?
RDA: YES! [Much handwaving] Don't you get it?! I've built a career on that!
PDL: If we go for funny, it should look more funny.
RDA: What is the option so we can appease Mr. DeLuise's conservative approach to filmmaking? [Tries on hat that resembles a pile of fat noodles.] How's that?
PDL: No, it's too funny.
RDA: What? God! It works. Let me see. [Looks in mirror, adjusts hat.] There, it's good. It's not a flattop.
[Turns head abruptly to make hat strings swing. Everyone laughs.]
RDA [Slightly contrite] I'll make it work. I won't make it funny.
PDL: [Dubiously] You're just gonna act not-funny?
RDA: [Unconvincingly] Yes.
RDA: [Looks at camera as he's given new hat.] Are you chronicling how difficult we are?
[Someone puts weird kind of tight dishrag on his head. Everyone laughs.]
[Yet another new hat. This one seems to be the one they finally went with.]
PDL: This is gonna look good.
RDA: [Tones of gloom] It'll look boring.
PDL: Boring, but not funny. [Rick has managed to put the hat on over his eyes. PDL corrects hat so it sits normally.] Good. Better. Much better. Okay. Now we shoot.
RDA: It must be dull.
PDL: [Trying to tempt Rick with the shiny?] Lawrence of Arabia.
RDA: [Tucks hat behind his ears. Quiet satisfaction.] That's the look I was going for.

I read somewhere - Gateworld, I think - about a blooper reel, and that they were thinking of putting it out with... something... maybe the movie... *goes to check* ... *can't find it* Did I dream that?
*gets on loud angry American soapbox w/tongue firmly in cheek*
Damn it! It's an American show about American Air Force officers based on an American movie? Why do we have to wait to see it?
*Tongue out of cheek but no less angry*
It's because nearly everyone that works for the Scifi channel has to be on some serious drugs. They really just shoot themselves in the foot the way they break up seasons and shuffle schedules. And make really stupid movies like Mansqito.
During season 8 I had a friend of mine download the eps we didn't get yet since I didn't have high speed internet at the time. My dad would call me the day it aired to see if my pal had got it yet. Neither my dad nor I are as excited over season 9 and 10 to make the effort. I did have to see the second half of SGA's The Return for RDA though.
Programme schedulers, though, I've heard many a rant about - and ranted about myself a time or two. They're wonderfully effective at killing what should be popular shows stone ded.
They're threatening to postpone Doctor Who because of football, this weekend. *growls* Apparently they don't feel obligated towards the percentage of people that doesn't like goddamn football.
*end rant*
Totally the ones I was going to cite. *g*
They buggered about with Monty Python a lot, too, apparently - I know this because my partner is a big fan, and has pointed out various sketches where they talk about the intelligence (or lack thereof) of BBC Programme Schedulers. None of which I can remember, of course.
