Because PTEN wants to hold episodes for sweeps periods.
Nothing more.

It's accurate as far as it goes, and a pun on another level.

What, it's not enough I walked on the water here...?
No, I wish I could say otherwise, but thus far I haven't been
able to convince them to run those eps. Ah, well....

"I'm beside myself."
How then do you walk through doorways?

And sometimes even divine intervention isn't enough. By

Thank you. Working on the show, and creating this universe, is
a task that has, in sum, taken ten years of my life thus far, and it
means a great deal. I appreciate the kind words. We do try.

Yes, I believe he does write as well, including some Robotech
stuff.

He's written some of the translated scripts for the animated

Thanks. We hope to release the videos through the fan club
once it's seriously up on its feet. We're booked on scripts for this
season.

Rebecca Eschliman <76072.2345@compuserve.com> asks:
> If so, what is it that clues you in that you need a small break?
No, usually it's not a problem, except when I get physically
tired at the end of a long day. It's a full-immersion process only
from July through April; from April to June it's a bit slower, so I can
recuperate then (we don't shoot April to June). I actually have very
little trouble living in the B5 universe with half my brain, and
hanging out here and the other nets with the other half of my brain.
Granted, I don't have any brain left over for a personal life during
this period, but my personal life has always been pretty brainless, so
there you are.

York's a major film actor who's starred in many films,
including one of my personal favorites, "Cabaret." Also in the
"Logan's Run" movie.

We knew last year that Kung Fu would only go 4 seasons, as that
was what PTEN needed to make the production worthwhile. 88 episodes is
a good average syndication package.

Yes, we killed Lt. Keffer, one of our starfury pilot recurring

It's too early to tell if the Kung Fu situation will have any
impact on B5.
