'Dancing with the Stars: Juniors' Episode 5 postponed for 'Mickey's 90th Spectacular'

The special was a two-hour event paying tribute to the iconic Disney character, Mickey Mouse, 90 years after his first appearance in “Steamboat Willie” on November 18, 1928

It has been a wild ride on the debut season of ABC's hit reality show, 'Dancing with the Stars: Juniors', with lots of debates between fans on social media, regarding the eliminations so far. And while fans were still dealing with the last round, that saw Alana Honey Boo Boo Thompson go home, this week, they received yet another shock with the show not airing at all.

For those unaware, the competition between the kid stars took a week off from airing and postponed its episode 5 to be aired Sunday, November 11, as opposed to its expected November 4 schedule. And worry not, there's a perfectly reasonable excuse behind this.
