i never did get why some people made such a big deal about that episode. a lot of people, (mostly oversensitive parents.) wanted it banned. i personally think that it would be one of the better episodes, and i would let my kids watch it. i would watch it a lot more often, but the last time i did, my mom yelled, "what are you watching?!?" me, "oh, just Arthur, mom!" mom, *hairy eyeball.* i don't think my mom trusts Arthur anymore.
