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.
