Play it Again, D.W.

"Play it Again, D.W." is the second half of the 6th episode of the animated children's series Arthur. It originally aired on October 27th, 1997.

Plot
D.W. is still playing her "Crazy Bus" CD (since "Buster Baxter, Cat Saver") and Arthur is getting annoyed by it. She plays her CD constantly and brings the Raido with her, everywhere she goes, and when she's not listening to it she's humming it and playing with its merchandise. At one point, Arthur recorded D.W. as having played the song a whopping 532 times in a single week! Unfortunately, neither his friends or parents seem to find it as being too much, annoying him even more. D.W. then surprises Arthur with four tickets to "Crazy Bus Live", which he has to attend against his will. Arthur is embarrassed to be there and wears a silly disguise under the name "Steve" to avoid being seen. He then finds Buster enjoying the show, much to his horror. Arthur has a nightmare where all of his friends and family are riding Crazy Bus, and he desperately tries to find a way off.

One night while Arthur is doing his homework, D.W. plays the song yet again and at full volume. Arthur was so frustrated, that he threatens to wreck the "Crazy Bus" CD, scaring D.W. and prompting her to tell on Arthur while her parents are searching for music to listen to at a high school reunion. They send Arthur to his room as a punishment and he got banned from watching TV. Later, D.W. has a panic attack and flips out when she discovers that her CD is missing. She accuses Arthur of stealing it, but he denies it. D.W. goes so far to bring up the snowball incident again, which he immediately shoots down. D.W. begins to harass Arthur endlessly as she is convinced he is the thief, and Arthur is unable to prove his innocence. Later that week, Francine's sister Catherine is asked to babysit for the kids while their parents go to their reunion, and all the while D.W. spies on Arthur, trying to catch him with the CD. She goes so far as to destroy Arthur's room in an attempt to find it. Arthur loses his patience, forcing Catherine to improvise. She ties tape down in the den and forces the two kids to opposite sides of the room. When Arthur tries to retrieve his jacket from D.W.'s side, she says her CD is in the jacket and she tries to take it, and end up aruging over.

At the reunion, Mr. Read puts on the music for his friends, only to discover that he accidentally took Crazy Bus! Their mom calls the house and reveals that they took the CD by accident, not Arthur. D.W. stops fighting and takes off the tape, but Arthur is furious that the CD was found the whole time! That night, they give the CD back to her, but she doesn't want to listen to it anymore, much to Arthur's surprise. Instead, she watches a Crazy Bus tape Grandma Thora gave her! Arthur runs off in frustration once again, and shouts for his mom. Then the episode ends.

Trivia

 * D.W. first played Crazy Bus during Buster Baxter, Cat Saver. Arthur gave her headphones so she could play it without bothering Arthur, but by this episode she ended up breaking them.
 * The snowball incident is brought up again in this episode.
 * D.W. played Crazy Bus over 500 times during the course of a single week. Strangely, her own parents don't seem to recognize this as a sign of an unhealthy obsession with the music, and are of little help to Arthur throughout the episode. His complaints about the song are quite justified, seeing as D.W. managed to distract him from doing anything important because she can't stop playing it.
