   I'm not sure that "small" is entirely correct, though it's certainly not   
   "large".  And it's not merely "extremely loyal", it's also relatively   
   select.  I was just talking today to my 80-something church organist   
   emeritus, a highly educated woman, who calls B5 "the most moral show on   
   television" and "like Shakespeare".  (I've said, myself, for years that   
   if Shakespeare had been living in Los Angeles in the 90's, B5 is the   
   show he would have been pitching to.)
