The Boy Who Cried Comet

Summary
Buster uses Muffy's new telescope to try to prove that the UFOs he's been seeing are real, but discovers something even more frightening: a comet headed straight for Earth!

Trivia

 * The name of the episode is based off of the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf', where a boy claims many times that he sees a wolf and when there actually is one, nobody comes to help him.
 * The opening of the episode is a parody of the opening for the show, The Twilight Zone. Arthur refers to the next stop the viewers are about to enter as "The Buster Zone", and is dressed in a similar manner as the host of the original show.
 * The Preschoolers are seen at the playground at Lakewood. They were most likely being used as kindergartners.
 * The newspaper refers to Buster as "Cat Saver", referring to the name given to him for his actions in "Buster Baxter, Cat Saver"; this is odd, as it had since become known that Buster's actions in saving the cat in that episode were not truly heroic.
 * The telescope part that Fern picked up appears to be a fastening bolt for the telescope tripod and the telescope, however this part does not appear to be a computer part, so the computer shouldn't have malfunctioned without it.

Errors

 * D.W., the Tibble Twins, and several preschoolers are seen briefly in the background when Buster climbs up the jungle gym.
