If not, they should.

EVERYONE was in love with Annette!

She was even in a Garfield comic strip.  Garfield's flopped on the lounge. 
He's staring at the TV and wearing Mickey Mouse ears.  And he thinks/says: 
"Shake it, Annette."


Now, I had the hots for Betty Rubble!

Not as memorable as the Flintstones theme, which has even been recorded by 
jazz artists on their albums.

I can hear it in my head now. It's a bit staccato to me; lacks the flow of  
the Flintstones.

Ah now I'm going to have Fraggle Rock, Gummi Bears and Flintstones running  
through my head with the odd interuption of Ulysses and a Wheeled Warriors  
finale.

Now I just need to watch Ultimate Showdown or Avenue Q to have my head  
explode.

I watched the original run of B5 here in the UK on our Channel 4; I was 
in the sixth form when it started and I went to university halfway 
through. Not many of us had TVs so it was a real pain trying to keep up 
with it!

(before the days of Sky+ and copious repeats)

Definitely the best SF I've ever seen for television, and arguably 
cinema too.
