It was the Babylon 5 spin off Crusade. It was canceled.

I have been trying to find the name of a Sci Fi show I saw in August. I
only caught the last fifteen minutes of it and forgot the name. It was
similiar to Star Trek where it was set in the future with Aliens and humans
on a military type ship. One of the characters was a technomancer, he wore
a robe and had a staff, I think he was a kind of cyborg. Anyway, I haven't
seen it since and was wondering if this rang a bell for anyone here. I'm
pretty sure it was a television show, but I guess it could have also been a
movie for television. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks for your time,
Karen

It was Far Out Space Nuts: The Next Generation, and endeavor co-developed
by J. Michael Strcynzski and Larry Niven. Main character Benjamin Fife (a
direct decendant of Barney T. Fife) is a Belter in the year 2201 who
decides to leave the Sol System after the oxygen tax gets too oppressive.
He takes up with a rouge band of Kzinti telepaths and starts an
interstellar delivery service that guarantees overnight delivery at a
distance of 50 light years, and takes advantage of a Enterprise Zone on
post-occupation Wunderland.
It was based on a short story that appeared in The Man/Kzin Wars XXVII, a
graphic novel published only in certain Japanese urban centers.

Ah, yes. That's Shaggy from the old Scooby Doo series. His character,
while looking for a midnight Fudgicle fix, was accidently locked in a deep
freeze unit by the 10.5 quake that finally hit Los Angeles in 2002, and
thawed out in the present day of the series. He's in charge of the more
discrete delivery services offered by the joint Fife/Kzinti endeavor. In
the B plot of the pilot film, he investigates a haunted asteroid ore
hauling ship.

Quite so.
I help this hopes.
