Its had five multi-season TV series, ten movies, and people are finally tuning out because its run its course. Its being cancelled because of low ratings, so people just aren't watching. Crusade was the last real attempt at another Babylon 5 series. Due to creative disagreements between JMS and TNT, they cancelled the series before it even aired. It never had a chance to succeed. Other attempts have failed not because of ratings issues, in fact it was one of the best rated scifis in syndication when it was on the air, but because of cost concerns and business people dragging their feet. Apparently it makes more sense to these people to try out new untried series and then cancel them than to create one that is attached to an already successful series. So no, the two are really not the same at all. In fact, I would say that they're polar opposites from one another. One has been rejected by the viewership while the other has been rejected by a bunch of clueless moneymen.</blockquote>
