   To the online backinh and forthing...some hard facts. Because Babylon 5    
   isn't on the air in the US anywhere, it's impossible for the show to add    
   new viewers except one at a time, friend to friend, or if you've heard    
   about it enough to want to shell out the money for the DVDs. Casual    
   viewers can't stumble across it while channel surfing. (As we all know,    
   after Trek was canceled for poor ratings, it found its audience in    
   syndication.) So in answer to the photo below, either WB has to be    
   convinced to release the show somewhere, or a network like Syfy or    
   Chiller or another along those lines has to be prompted to pick it up.    
   If not, quite honestly, and without any way to add new viewers, the show    
   will eventually slide into obscurity. This ain't something I can do, or    
   even directly participate in. It's up to the fans now.
