==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *This episode was banned because Buster's story resembled ''South Park'', which was rated TV-MA, but ''Arthur'' was rated TV-Y''. '' | ||
*In ''The Amazing Fight'', everyone (except Arthur) are cartoon humans. | |||
*Arthur and his friends did not actually write the stories for the contest. Five children from across America and Canada wrote them for the show - and one girl, named Holly Holland, had an idea for an episode about a contest. This was mentioned in the ''[[And Now a Word from Us Kids]]'' segment following it. | |||
*The show Arthur and his friends watch (''Andy and Company'') is clearly a parody of the show itself. | |||
*The | *The way [[Francine]] says that Andy is a mouse (Arthur correcting her of him being something else) may refer to the fact how people mistake Arthur as a bear or a mouse instead of an aardvark. | ||
* | ===Cultural References=== | ||
*The way [[ | *Each of the kids' stories reference other TV shows: Buster's story resembles ''South Park'', Muffy's resembles ''Beavis and Butt-head'', Binky's resembles ''WWE,'' Brain's resembles ''Dexter's Labratory ''and Arthur's resembles ''Dr. Katz.'' | ||
*In ''My Life as a TV Show,'' Arthur and Buster call Muffy the ''5th Teletubby'' (which makes sense because her dress resemble Dipsy) as Beavis and Butt-head. | |||
===Errors/Goofs=== | |||
*In Arthur's story he didn't include any of his friends in the story and in Binky and Francine's story they only included Arthur and not themselves so it would have been unlikely that either one of them would've had a shot at winning the contest because the contest was to write a story about you and your friend. | |||
*In Arthur's story he is supposed to be 18 and has D.W. go and pick up his car but D.W. is only 4 years younger than Arthur and would have been 14 at the time the story takes place. Therefore, it would have been illegal for her to drive his car because in America the law states that people must be 16 or older to drive vehicles. | |||
