The fourteenth season of ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'' debuted in November 1983 with a five-episode arc titled '''"Conflict"''', a direct response to the ABC telefilm ''The Day After'', which featured graphic nuclear-war imagery. This arc focused on the Neighborhood of Make-Believe where they almost go to war by jumping to conclusions. Due to both the episodes and news of the time involving war, the arc was pulled from regular rotation on April 5, 1996.<ref name=":0">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_Rogers%27_Neighborhood_%28season_14%29#Episode_5_.28Conflict.29 Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (season 14) - Wikipedia]</ref>
