Next season producers are planning to do three specials, sending Buster to Africa, the Middle East and China.
“If you’re not a military family, you can see how you might feel to be in this situation.” “If you’re a military family, it will give you an opportunity to discuss how you may feel, especially if someone is deployed,” she said.

Munoz tells Buster afterward, “but then we’re sad ’cause we remember we miss him.” In one sequence the cameras catch a phone call from Erin’s dad, Steve, who at the time had been in Iraq for only a week. In the episode from Fort Leonard Wood, for example, Buster must be shown where Iraq is on a globe, and he worries about being asked to do push-ups. Buster does this, he said, by looking at the world through a child’s eyes.

But the “Sugartime!” controversy made finding funds for a second season difficult. It said that 57 of 349 stations broadcast the episode in March 2005, making it available to more than half of PBS viewers. WGBH responded by independently offering “Sugartime!” to each PBS station.
