B5 was wonderfully deep all the way through.  It ran here in the USA for many 
years with near daily episodes running all the seasons as they were intended 
and then starting over again and again.  I miss such shows and of course the 
actors.  A few actors can still be seen in current series.  Sadly many 
involved with B5 have Gone Beyond the Rim.  They are still fondly remembered.
