I received a postcard from Buster

Actually it is a canned email, but here it is.....(& by the way, they have not updated their "recipies" page). If you are following the "Buster" saga, read the thread in the Massachusetts (home of WGBH) forum.

The maple sugar episode has been offered to affiliate stations for broadcast on March 23.

Thank you for your recent e-mail about the Vermont episode of Postcards from Buster. We appreciate your your support of the series.

As you may be aware, the Vermont episode was part of the overall series’ goal to present a realistic and authentic representation of the lives and culture of kids all across America. To do this, Buster Baxter experiences, in a very kid-like way, the many expressions of children’s culture-- from the sports kids play, to the food they eat, the music they enjoy, the customs they celebrate, the family structures they live-in, and the role religion plays in their lives.
Ultimately, we hope to provide an educational program that children and their parents can watch, enjoy, and learn from together.

Again, we appreciate receiving your support and hope you continue to enjoy watching Postcards From Buster with your family.

Sincerely,

The Postcards From Buster Production Team

1. I saw this episode on WITF in central Pa.

They showed it at it's regular time in the afternoon. The only way I knew it'd be on was a blurb in the local paper prompted by the Sec. Ed.'s crazy rant.
So far I can report no outbreak of lesbianism or maple sugar addiction among the good folks of central Pa. And thankfully also no controversy.
