Yes, B5 was originally produced at WB and distributed by syndication, but was broadcast on TNT for its final year or so. Then when the sequel series B5: Crusade came out with the sponsorship of TNT some of the chimps in the programming division wanted to turn it into a sexed-up 'Buck Rogers' clone. The story was pretty big in the B5 community at the time. You can find lots of history.
