This cartoon sees Arthur and his friends go to Camp Meadowcroak for the week. But once they get there, EVERYTHING turns into a competition between the boys and the girls. We get some pretty funny moments of the girls constantly outscoring the boys throughout the episode, as well as some of their dirty tricks. But when the annual scavenger hunt against Camp Horsewater (Meadowcroak's rival camp) fast approaches, it's up to Arthur to get the girls and boys to work together to win. At first, he is unsuccessful, but when he tells everyone he has a secret plan up his sleeve, everyone agrees to cooperate. When Horsewater manages to beat Meadowcroak to all of the items on the list, Arthur's plan is set into action, by having one of Meadowcroak's members dress up like a bear, scaring Horsewater's members away, leaving the stuff they collected behind. Meadowcroak ends up winning, and after that there's no more competition. This episode was EXTREMELY dull and aside from the humor, this cartoon is easily forgettable and I wouldn't recommend it. 3/10
7B: Buster Makes The Grade
This cartoon sees Buster failing his math quiz, and if he doesn't get at least a B on the upcoming test, he'll flunk the third grade. So his friends try to help him study, which is not easy, as Buster is very easily distracted, and we're treated to some humorous scenes of Buster constantly stalling on his studying all through the episode. This cartoon also shows how much Arthur and his friends really do care about Buster, and they want him to succeed. Near the end, Buster gains more confidence and starts studying really hard, and even go as far as to rehearse his times tables in the middle of the park. Buster ends up getting a B+, and thanks his friends for helping him. While not one of the best Buster episodes out there, it did do a good job of setting across it's message in a quirky, goofy way by having a character whose careless attitude when it comes to studying is relatable to a lot of kids be the main focus. Despite not exactly being a season highlight, it's very far from a bad watch. 6/10
