The intro on the show clearly explained that Kimberly is a teenager who looks like an older woman, and "Better" is not appropriate for morning television.

It doesn’t matter that they explained it, it matters that the intended audience didn’t receive it.

And I think you could make Better work on morning TV with a couple lyric changes.

Really, that's a song title? There's already a great Edward Kleban song called "Better."

And Rodgers & Hammerstein used "Maria" for a song title two years after Bernstein and Sondheim did, and Bock & Harnick used "Dear Friend" as a song title in two of their shows.
