From what I remember... CBS and it's executives took a stand over Beakman explaining to a viewer's letter of "why" flatulence "had sound" and Beakman explained in nutritional and clinical terms of what happens to the body as it passes gas. Remember this is the same Network as "Touched By An Angel" and "Murder She Wrote". Hello... They canceled Pee-Wee for something the Actor did in his free time. (Ok... not so good for kids to know, But...) Although their standards have loosened, at that time, such terminology (like "Sphinkter") in a teaching show for children, was unacceptable. I wish I could remember the name of the episode. IMDb is limited in the episode content.
