'''''Babylon 5''''', a [[The Nineties|Nineties]] [[Space Opera]] created by [[J. Michael Straczynski]], ran from 1994-1998 (a two-hour pilot, "The Gathering", had aired in 1993). It was syndicated as apart of the [[PTEN]] network package for its first four seasons, and was shown on TNT in its fifth.
''Babylon 5'' took the use of [[Story Arc|Story Arcs]] to new heights, and introduced the concept of the [[Wham! Episode]], with probably over half of its episodes contributing to one major series-long arc (a [[Myth Arc]]). JMS had plotted out much of the arc before the series began, and occasionally referred to it as a five-year long [[Miniseries]]. (The fourth and fifth seasons had to be telescoped into one when the show was going to be [[Cut Short|prematurely ended]]. Then it was [[Uncancelled]] and picked up by TNT, and they had to scramble to create [[Post Script Season|a fifth season]], which was not as well-liked by most fans.)
