OT: Crusader

[gregebowman]

I hate it when a network has a cliffhanger for a season finale, then cancels the show. I still remember V, the series, having a cliffhanger of an ending and then getting dumped. Or what's worse, like on 24, they have a cliffhanger for an ending, then totally skip on what happened over the past year. They have a totally new storyline, with vague references as to what happened.

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.
