The video joke. Also done before when she started hosting the kids show. Get a life PBS. I'm sure there are tons of you people that did weird art school films when you were younger.
I think you went way to far in your decession please reconsider your public will love you for it because it will show that you care bout your audience. After all isn't that why you let melanie go in the 1st place?
PBS your hippocrisy knows no bounds. If you were to hold yourselves to your own standards no one would work at PBS. Firing someone for utilizing their freedoms as given by the constitution is fascist and inherent within private business.
Have some backbone. If she's doing a great job, and the kids love her, then let her do her job. Not many of us are free of embarrassing moments from our past.
Give the girl a break, I seriously doubt it really matters to the kids if they even know about it. And it they do by some chance I'd really question the respective parenting skills involved.
I found this site a year ago, and just saw that the ignorant asshumps that run the child mindwarping shows have fired this amazingly funny little actress.
I believe the firing of Melanie for something that she did years ago is absolutely insane. Really, are children so incredibly fragile that they will be ruined by something they don't even know exists? Shame on you, PBSKids.
