[QUOTE="Orius, post: 2328679, member: 8863"] Oh, well then you're waaay ahead of where I thought you might be. Yankees? Arrg, B5 is the reason I hate the Yankees in the first place. Back when the show was on the air around here, the local Fox affiliate aired the show in syndication. Unfortunately, near the end of Season 3, Fox was broadcasting the World Series playoffs or something around the same time. This goes back to the wonky airing schedule I mentiioned earlier. In any case, one of the playoff games was on earlier in the evening before B5 game on. The game went into extra innings (something like 12 innings or so), and ran over the alloted time. So instead of preempting B5 by 40 minutes, they joined the episode already in progress (and made sure to air all the commercial first). This episode was the one where Sheridan takes his fleet and kicks the Shadows' ass right before going off to Z'ha'dum. Needless to say I was quite pissed. Damn Yankees. Though I suppose the management at the local TV station were more to blame; the workers probably wanted to go home for the night rather than sticking around another 40 minutes. I'm certainly glad they didn't pull that crap for the next episode. [/QUOTE]
