Legion Broadcast History

This page is written from the Real World point of view

Introduction

First attempt at assembling broadcast history in original airdate order. Still needs Legion cartoon episodes that aren't yet on a DVD page. I just copied Michael's episodes descriptions from other pages (edited Legends of the SUper-Heroes a bit), but we probably want to add more Legion-centered notes, such as what characters appear, etc.
