Babylon Park is a spoof of "Babylon 5" and "South Park" that debuted on the internet in 1998, created by Christopher Russo. It presents the "Babylon 5" cast with "South Park" character designs. It spawned several short films, including later productions with actual cast and crew from "Babylon 5".
"Babylon Park" was born from a comment Christopher Russo made on rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated: "Oh my God, they killed Koshi!" That comment spawned a website expounding on the joke. Shortly after the debut of that site, Russo was approached by the Atlanta, Georgia-based NicholsFilm group, who desired to make a short fan film based on the concept. Russo granted permission, and "Babylon Park: The Movie" made its debut at the 1998 DragonCon, along with Russo's own short "Spoohunter". The movie portion was written and directed by Alyssa Gobelle, and was an instant hit not only with fans, but with the "Babylon 5" cast and crew, many of whom were in attendance at the convention.
After the DragonCon premiere, Russo went forward with plans to make more shorts, but without the involvement of Gobelle or the Nicholsfilm crew. Nicholsfilm would later produce another parody, "Crusade Wars", lampooning the network bureaucracy that plagued the "Babylon 5" spinoff "Crusade".
The later "Babylon Park" episodes were released by Russo's iNFiNiCorp Transgalactic, and are as follows:
