User blog:Scrooge200/Season 6 Review

Season 5 was a very mediocre season, having no great or vomitrocious episodes. Will Season 6 prove to be more exciting?

I will rate each episode on a scale from Vomitrocious, Bad, Okay, Good, Great. At the end of my review, I'll count up how many of each rating there are in the season, and give it a rating as a whole, alongside ranking every episode in the season from best to worst.

Sue Ellen Gets Her Goose Cooked
I quite enjoy this episode. I can't say I've ever been that obsessed with a video game, but I do get the moral. I even like the subplot with D.W. and how she ends up winning Virtual Goose. This episode has some good jokes, like Sue Ellen throwing peas at Francine, the "rocks in a box" game, the vanilla ice cream with vanilla sprinkles and extra vanilla sauce, and the Chinese Virtual Goose player. This is a good episode.

Best of the Nest
I like how this episode is a direct sequel to the previous one. It's really funny, too, with Mr. Ratburn using the computer, all the ridiculous questions in the game, the shark in the river, Buster confusing Mr. Ratburn for Prunella, and D.W. ending Arthur's game. The plot is interesting and I really liked watching this episode. The only downside is that this episode doesn't have an actual ending, which lowered my rating for it a bit. This episode is C, do the hokey-pokey; or good.

Arthur Plays the Blues
You know, I had completely forgot about this episode before I watched it for this review. I don't like Arthur in this episode. He chose not to practice and procrastinated on it despite everyone reminding him. This episode is like a mix of "Arthur vs. the Piano" and "Arthur and the Real Mr. Ratburn." And I don't get what the ending implies. Arthur is still can't play the piece correctly and I don't think he'll be re-hired, so what's the point? This is an okay episode.

Buster's Sweet Success
This episode is just so disjointed. Buster wants to sell chocolates, but he can't, he eats them, he makes new chocolates, and then he works in a store. Buster brought this problem upon himself, taking more boxes than he can realistically sell and even eating all the chocolates, so it's kind of hard to feel bad for him. He and Arthur even cook new chocolates without the help of Arthur's dad, who's a chef. It's not like this is the first time we've had a "character does stuff to raise money" plot, either. "Arthur Bounces Back" already tried this plot and it failed miserably. This is a bad episode.

Season Notes

 * There's some techno remix of the theme song in the credits. I heard it sometimes as a kid and it always kinda creeped me out, but now I like it. D.W. saying "Yeah, mama!" always makes me laugh.
