    I missed the original post, but a friend of mine is worried that the CW is going to take a crap on B5. Any details on the reboot?

    What's the CW? Forgive my ignorance..

    Not sure about reboots..although quite liked the new Battlestar.

    It is a US over the air television network.

    The CW is the Warner Brothers Network. I don't know exactly what it stands for, but that is the network rumored to pick up B5.

    The "C" might stand for Columbia, as in CBS.

    The CW was the result of the merger of the WB Network (Warner) and UPN
    (United Paramount). Paramount is aligned with CBS and, by the time they merged, CBS/Paramount had bought out United. Both networks were founded in
    the mid-1990's and merged sometime in the mid-2000's.

    CBS/Paramount and Warner are still joint owners, which is why some shows
    that started on CBS got migrated to CW when they had a following but were
    not successful enough for the "top" network. Now I think they get migrated
    to streaming.
