| 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. | |
