I'm curious as to how much power TNT will have to modify B5 episodes,
come re-run time. In general, they seem pretty merciless (and arbitrary)
when it comes to cutting scenes, or, as in the case of cartoons, speeding
up the playback. 

Will any edits made by TNT have to be approved by you/your office, or
do they have the right to do whatever they want?

Usually, you get big cuts in shows going from network to cable because the
restrictions on the number of commercials are greater for the former than
the latter.  However, the number of spots in syndication are about the
same as for cable, so there shouldn't be any need for cuts.  Also, once
the show hits TNT, you won't be using the Kung Fu (certainly) or B5
(probably) promos anymore, which frees up another 30-45 seconds for
commercials.

So overall, I shouldn't think there'd be much need for editing.
