Forum:Interstitials

Do we have articles anywhere covering the live-action portion of the show which takes place between the two story segments? For example after Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone and before The Feud it begins with London in the 2nd-grade class Miss Melo who just got married to someone named Patrick (just like Mr. Ratburn's spouse) and then Haruka writes a letter to him. He then arrives and he has a beard and says he is 27 years old and teaches in the Healey School in Somerville.

I imagine a lot of fans (myself included) often just skip past this part to get to the next part of the story, but I'm wondering if in the interest of completionism we should perhaps cover this somewhere?

I just have no idea what to actually call articles on these.

I suppose since these tend to be followups for the first segment (and not relate to the 2nd) that we could name it after the (A) portion of an episode rather than the (B) portion?

Or just name it by the numbers, but in that case I think we should be documenting the otherall numbering of episodes. "Special Someone" lists s22 and e1a for example, but doesn't list the overall numbering. That would be useful information to include in the introduction and infobox, and also help with naming interstitials after that numbering.

Based on List of Arthur episodes it appears that Special+Feud were the 240th overall episode, so if we had an article on the interstitial appearing between them, it might be called episode 240 interstitial or perhaps interstitial 240 ? Thoughts? talk2ty 21:37, November 5, 2019 (UTC)
 * We have a And Now a Word from Us Kids page, although it doesn't have much info (mostly an unorganized list). I don't think the segments are page-worthy because they don't have their own names and they're only around three minutes long. Scrooge200 (talk) 21:47, November 10, 2019 (UTC)


 * I see questions online quite often like, "what episode has the word from us kids segment with _"? So, I suppose it might be useful to provide some kind of listing. Personally I don't think individual pages are necessary, but a brief synopsis of each could be plausible. PBS used to have a text description on the Arthur website for each episode through Season 12 or 13, I think, which could serve as a starting point. PrettyCoolStairs (talk) 05:54, January 13, 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't really think "Word from Us Kids" pages are needed on here, as a lot of people tend to skip them, first of all (or maybe it just seems that way to me), and second of all, these segments usually aren't included on most prints of Arthur outside of PBS telecasts. Also, several countries like the UK or Australia (like on BBC or ABC2, for example) don't receive them, either. So, I don't really think it's necessary to cover such information on here. I personally don't really like or care for most of them, anyways, and I never have, even when I was younger. Anyways, those are just my thoughts on the subject. To everyone reading this, have a wonderful kind of day! -Arthur Read fan (talk) 7:30, January 13, 2020 (UTC) (edited by Arthur Read fan 7:35, January 13, 2020 (UTC))
