"We previewed the episode in question because content decisions that affect our smallest viewers and their parents are a major concern for us,” a spokesperson for Arkansas Educational Television Network told WVTM. “While, ideally, parents watch our programming with their children and discuss it with them afterwards, the reality is that many children, some of them younger than age four, watch when a parent is not in the room. In realizing that many parents may not have been aware of the topics of the episode beforehand, we made the decision not to air it."
