Review: Arthur | Season 1 Episode 3

Episode 3A: DW All Wet

Trips to the shore is one of my favorite summer activities, but for whatever reason, D.W. Read is terrified of the water. Does it have to do with her trip to the aquarium a few weeks ago, or is her mind playing tricks on her? Let's find out...




This episode is one of my favorite Season 1 episodes. Mostly because of it's great humor, including D.W. asking where animals take a piss, the enjoyable secondary story where Buster tries to avoid wearing his embarrassing bathing cap, and the infamous scene where Arthur scares D.W. with a plastic spider. This is one of  D.W.'s many great performances and an easy recommendation. 9/10

Episode 3B: Buster's Dino Dilemma

Obsession can be a hard thing to control, and it's a crucial life-skill for all kids to learn. In "Buster's Dino Dilemma", Buster makes an astounding discovery.  Let's see what happens...



Buster is one of my very-favorite Arthur characters. He's full of surprises and lots of good chuckles. In this episode, though, his usual charm is replaced with fear and hysteria. And is this a good thing? In this case, not really. I was kind of expecting him to crack a few memorable jokes in this one, but he was very bland almost the entire way through. Since the episode is centered around Buster, you'd think he'd be fun to watch, but sadly, that's not the case. Honestly, I thought this episode was just disappointing and a HUGE expectation destroyer. 4/10
