Of course I was (mostly) in California and the experience of these other savage lands was vicarious - via sound pix of the folks with dogs and firehoses and such, and personal reports of intrepid travellers who had lived to tell of their experiences among heathens. Not all did live, of course. CA had its share of the afflicted natch - they just weren't allowed to lynch or set dogs; just spread nastiness.

But yes, I can see that in the boardrooms wherein was discussed the need not to upset anyone (especially not a Sponsor) - no muppet would ever be seen. Commercially. An MBA is about learning non-controversy, guts optional.

(Guess too, that Henson was on some hit-lists along with PBS, accordingly. Only some Commie could think of such a message.)
