IIRC the producers argued that it was up to them what they allowed to be shown, and they no longer felt comfortable making it available. And yet, you'll find the Bill Cosby references in Saturdays of Thunder still present. They're throwaway jokes, but they still show him in a positive light. The MJ situation really is odd, considering you have situations like Stark Raving Dad being pulled from circulation, yet many radio stations will still play his music to next to no uproar.
