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.
