Without PBS Kids, Arkansas children are raised by the Weather Channel, developing advanced storm awareness and absolutely no concept of letters, believing the alphabet ends at Q. “Antiques Roadshow” is outlawed after too many residents learn that history has resale value. Arkansas replaces PBS with “DIYBS,” a channel devoted entirely to fixing problems that didn’t exist until PBS left. “Masterpiece Theatre” becomes “Masterpiece Trailer,” a gritty prestige drama about a couch that’s been on the porch since 1997. Go figure.
