So I read in another article that the first six season one episodes of
B5 averaged a 1.85.  Now, for a prime time first run broadcast network,
that would really suck.  However, I lack a frame of reference for
pre-prime time syndicated strips.  In particular, how is B5 doing
compared to Lois and Clark, especially how did Lois and Clark do last
month when it ran in B5's current time slot?

The daily ratings have been substantially higher in both number, and in the
demographics, which is crucial for advertisers who want to reach a specific
audience.  L&C did about a 1.4 or 1.5 average, which they'd be happy if B5
reached or equaled.  The first 3 B5 eps of this week, for instance, all I have
so far for this week, were all 2.0...so TNT is delerious.
