B% the only Sci-fic series to show a program from the guys who kept the station running, the real maintenance guys, running around with brooms, and tools and lunch boxes.

What was the last program to have the peons star.

I don't remember the title, but that is the best piece of science fiction writing ever.

Puts all the plastic officers and wimps of all SCI Fic problems to shame.

Just the regular doing his job and getting it done, no matter what is thrown at him.

I remember that B5 episode and it was a good one, too. Can't remember the name of it either, but it did give a good view of what it would be like for us average people to live in such a place. I particualt liked seeing the Brown sections, which were basically ghettos in space. No other show ever showed how the working class and poor would be living in the future. All the other shows had basically elite characters, no working stiffs. BG is showing more of that, like with the Crew Chief and the maintenance workers on the Galactica.
