Summary
Arthur is embarrassed to admit that he's hooked on a new TV show that's really for younger kids.
Plot
Arthur learns from Buster and Francine about a new show called Dark Bunny. Eagerly he goes home to see it, only to find D.W. already watching "Mary Moo Cow".
As Mary Moo Cow ends, Arthur is about to change the television to the channel on which Dark Bunny airs, but instead ends up watching "The Love Ducks", which according to D.W. is a "baby show". Arthur is intrigued by it because it's "weird".
Arthur watches The Love Ducks every day instead of Dark Bunny, and, as a result, has difficulty discussing Dark Bunny in any depth with his friends. One day, Buster and Francine see him watching The Love Ducks, and Francine tells everyone about it.
When Buster happens to see The Love Ducks on a television set in a store window, he likes what he sees, and goes to buy a Love Ducks CD. Arthur and his friends gather at his house to watch the show with Baby Kate. All his friends, even Francine, admit to being fans of "The Love Ducks" because of its strangeness.
