25 years wow now I feel old.

Actually, that interview was published April 2019, but I've only just seen it. You might be a little older than you feel.

Interesting interview and on how the TV production world has been changed by it.

25 years, yes. We've not rewatched B5 every year, we might have re-watched it every two or three years. Call it 2.5 that would be watched it 10 times...

I haven't watched it for a long time. I lent my DVD's to someone at work and my best friend in France has started watching it for the first time. Both are enjoying it, but it gives me a yen for a rewatch. Anyone know where I can stream it?

Our mandate with the PTEN network was that every year, we had to show a profit for the network. And every year, we showed a profit (even though on paper we’re still in the red as far as profit definition is concerned, which is why, to this day, I’ve never made a dime of profit on Babylon 5. We’re still allegedly 30 million dollars in the red).
