What about cutting up the episodes to fit more commercials in? I don't know
about Sci-Fi but FX is notorious for hacking shows. Just a thought. How
detailed is the agreement between WB and Sci-Fi?
Last question: Does this sitiuation help the chances of Crusade being shown?
I don't know if I'm the first to ask this question. If this jinxes any
chances or plans please delete me. ; )
Thanks,
Dave Chapple

I believe that B5 was at the legal maximum under FCC regs for commercials.

>Last question: Does this sitiuation help the chances of Crusade being shown?

Way, way, way too early for that to even be discussed.
