TV Specials Produced
--------------------
E! Televsion produced a "Behind the Scenes" special on the pilot movie
which has aired on E! Television and occasionally turns up on the channel.
Note that one segment of the special focused on some of the animatronics
used for background characters seen only briefly (if at all).
PTEN produced several short features (five minutes or less) introducing
Babylon 5's pilot, and the launch of the series. These were fed on satellite
and may have been broadcast at odd times on local stations.
For the launch of the series, PTEN produced a "Making of Babylon 5" special
hosted by Walter Koenig. This aired approximately a week before the series
opener.
An early rendering of Babylon 5 and some ships can be found on a demo
videotape of the Video Toaster. Call NewTek at (800) 765-3406 and request a
copy of their latest demo tape for the Video Toaster.
