Bananas in Pyjamas are better than Babylon 5 because...


  1. Bananas in Pyjamas play with teddy bears, they don't space them.
  2. Bananas taste great with Ice-cream and Maple syrup whereas 5 Mile long space stations tend to break your teeth.
  3. B1 and B2 are more friendly and are not likely to scramble a squadron of starfuries if you upset them.
  4. Bananas are yellow. Yellow is a safety colour. I mean, you never see a banana run over in the middle of the road. Someone is always running into someone else on B5.
  5. While B1, B2 and B5 are all phallic in shape, B1 and B2 would probably be more satisfying. (but then how the hell would I know?)
  6. The trouble makers in Bananas are teddy bears, not ancient civilisation hating monsters or corrupt psychic police forces.
  7. Your less likely to run into an Enterprise vs. the teddies house in a bananas news group. (Personally I think that Worf would make banana splits out of B1 and B2 but the bears would take him.)
  8. The bananas are on public TV so are uninterupted by advertisements.
  9. It's very easy to meet the cast of bananas in person.
  10. Members of the cast leave the show, there suits. (Still Missing Talia)
  11. No bananas withdrawal symptoms (my nephew would argue about this though)
  12. You don't cry yourself to sleep every night because you know Bananas in pyjamas is going to end in 2-3 years.
  13. You don't get into massive arguments over whether or not the Bananas are good or evil.
  14. You don't have a nervous breakdown if you miss an episode of Bananas in pyjamas.
  15. If somebody spoils you about an event that occurs in an episode of Bananas in pyjamas that you haven't seen yet, you are less inclined to stick sharp objects into each of their internal organs.
  16. You don't become suicidal if your IDIOT cousin tapes Melrose Place over one of your Bananas in pyjamas tapes!
  17. Bananas mechandise is much easier to find than B5 stuff
  18. There has so far not been any prophecies concerning the destruction of B1 and B2
  19. Centauri cruisers don't usually fire on people dressed as Bananas
  20. Bananas rarely ask 'What do you want?'
  21. Bananas don't shoot purple death-beams at you. The worst they can muster is soft pulp.
  22. B1 and B2 are human beings who have been taken over by suits which alter their very behavior, but at least they don't go on a genetic cleansing crusade against the teddies.
  23. B1 and B2 don't have 'non-arc' episodes.
  24. B1 is unlikely to be taken to the Minbari homeworld and replaced by B3.
  25. B2 won't be revealed as a mindwiped spy sometime in the second season.
  26. Unlike Vorlon Encounter Suits, Banana suits have arms.
  27. The plot is perfectly clear after only one viewing.
  28. B1 and B2 are humans with Organic technology.
