B5 Columbia House Home Video
The release of Babylon 5 via the Columbia House mail order home video program preceded the commercial release of B5 episodes to video stores by some months, and it remains of interest for being the only official, factory, U.S. release of The Gathering in its original, 1993, un-special-edition form.
B5 Local Spot Londo 1995
B5 Local Spot Sheridan 1996
These aired in Phoenix during the show's run on the local UPN affiliate, KUTP-45, circa 1995-97. The years are approximate, but the Bruce spot can only date from mid-season 3 or season 4, as he's in the black uniform. Presumably there were more of these for other markets
B5 Mystery Alien Sweepstakes
Circa winter-spring 1996. One week of the contest is represented here and features the Lennier silhouette.
B5 MTV Ad Spring 1994
Aired early in Season 1. Notable for featuring only CGI footage and generic quotes from critics. The belief is that PTEN wanted to get the Beavis & Butt-Head audience interested in B5, and so placed it on MTV.
B5 PTEN Bumper 1997
B5 PTEN Bumpers
B5 UPN Generic Bumpers
These are included for completeness, as these PTEN bumpers have nostalgic value for fans who watched the show on its original run.
