Is Babylon 5 good?

I can't understand why Sheldon Coper hates Babylon 5, it's an absolute terrific series. So much tension and drama between the different sides. A complex and excellent show. I guess one thing that makes it so great is that this is a five season long tale. All the seasons were planned out to make one story before they started producing it. I wish more series could try that.
