I suspect they thing "Jessie's Song" is unsuitable due to the drugs storyline. I say this because they aired another drugs related episode, the one where the famous actor comes to Bayside for the Anti Drugs commerical shoot, maybe once or twice before pulling it from their SBTB line up. Maybe they changed their minds about airing the episode or got complaints from parents. Nick here is aimed at kids from about 8 to 15, maybe some parents thought the episode was too strong?
They also fail to show the episode, Running Zack, where a teacher dies. Again maybe they feel because it's too heavy?
I don't know why they wouldn't show the Earthquake ep though. How bad could it be really? And no way would a birth be graphic in a show like SBTB.
It's annoying, but in a way I can sort of see why a channel like Nick, aimed at childrend and young teens, would want to play it safe.
Besides I managed to download all the unaired episodes (bar the Earthquake one which I couldn't ever find) from Kazaa so I'm okay. ;)
