I do find it nuts that Babylon 5 got to run for five seasons. It was a new scifi franchise (meaning no pre-existing fandom) that was basically going head to head with Star Trek Deep Space 9, and it had multiple actors in major parts drop out of the show.

And the distribution company died in the middle too.

They were basically backed by Criss-Craft boats who had massive financial scaldals and collapsed taking PTEN down with them.
