Bloody Fox.

It wouldn't surprise me. Fox likes to mess with good shows, it also likes to cancel them.

Babylon 5 ran for only five years - but this length was planned originally by its creator, J Michael Straczynski (sp?) (he wrote a proper 5 year story arc, rather than just make it up as he went along).

It has had a few different TV movies, set before & after the original B5 series.

There was also a shortlived spin-off series, called Crusade. I think there may have been plans for another too.

Wow, I remember when it started, they used Amiga 4000s to create the special effects.
LOL, yeah. A4000s running Video Toasters IIRC.
