Arthur's Pet Business sees Arthur opening up his own pet-sitting service to prove to his parents that he's responsible enough to own a puppy, but it's harder than he imagined. He ends up caring for a puppy named Perky, who lives up to her nickname (Jaws) as she's almost always growling and ready to pounce. Eventually, he ends up taking care of all KINDS of pets, from a sneaky serpent to a frisky frog, resulting in a series of humorous antics. Arthur faces defeat, but then he discovers that Perky had babies, and that's why she was such a handful. As a reward, the owner lets Arthur keep one of the babies, much to his joy. Arthur's Pet Business was pretty good. It showed children the importance of responsibility which is necessary for getting them ready for life. My only complaint is that this episode was VERY light on the humor. With a story about animals, there really should've been a lot of laughable shenanigans. But apart from the frog scene, there wasn't much appeal to this cartoon. 4/10
5B: D.W. The Copycat
Wanting to get Arthur to play with her, D.W. starts copying Arthur's every move, and causes some confusion among his friends. Arthur is known for it's great morals and colorful, diverse cast of characters that some kids can relate to. The latter is greatly demonstrated in this cartoon as we get enjoyable scenes of D.W. trying to fit in with Arthur's friends. Even though they only appear for a few times, there still was some pretty stellar humor throughout the cartoon. And it was pretty nice to see Arthur's sisterly bond with D.W. grow. While it doesn't seem like much, this episode was pretty enjoyable nonetheless. 6/10
