Trivia

Notes

• This is one of the few episodes that show a real life TV show interlaced with the animation. In this case, Nova
  • This is said to be coincidental (or by some, ironic), since Nova and Arthur both air on PBS and are produced by WGBH Boston.

Quotes

Arthur: Dad, D.W. is about to bother us.

D.W.: I haven't done anything yet.

Arthur: I know you. You're going to start saying, "What are you watching?", "What's that?", "What's happening?"

---

:D.W.: Oh yeah! PROVE IT!

---

Arthur: Now do you see how stuff really works and how all your crazy experiments were wrong?

D.W.: I only had one experiment, Arthur. I said one day you'd beg to take me here, and here I am. My experiment was a complete success: I proved I'm smarter than you.

Arthur: Did what I think happened... happen?
