Joe,

Outside of a sixth B5 season which you've said would be "Tales of..."
eps, would you ever consider creating an anthology series for
television?  Are anthology series as tough to get started and keep
rolling as I've heard?  Are they more expensive to produce?

Might give you a chance to work with some of the writers you weren't
able to fit into the B5 schedule?  The project is something I'd really
like to see you organize. (Now if I could just get that job heading a
major studio, I could fund it for you...)

Don

P.S. Just wanted to mention I'm new to this forum (as well as discussion
groups in general) and just read John D. Hardin's post under the .info
group.  I didn't know that you didn't want email sent to your Compuserve
account and I've sent things in the past.  I apologize for that.

We shall not cease from exploration
And in the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Actually, I've tried several times to get anthology series off the ground, but
 unless they're tied to a pre-sold name, nobody's interested.
