Trivia
Notes
- The Rat Who Came to Dinner became adapted into a book in the Arthur Adventure series and re-titled as Arthur's Teacher Moves In.
- When the roof of his house cracked and fell apart, You can see his teeth chattering because it was cold.
- The Blizzard was also a "Snowy" story. So that's 2 stories with snow in 1 episode.
- Just because Mr. Ratburn was still with Arthur for a few days, Doesn't mean, His friends would get no attention from Arthur.
- After making Arthur feel bad, His friends should've apologized.
- Arthur's phone only has 9 buttons.
- Some of Arthur's friends were shocked of Mr. Ratburn's ideas to him until he cheered them up while this episode ended.
- A running gag throughout this episode is that D.W. is constantly butchering Mr. Ratburn's name, and Mr. Ratburn ignores her.
- During the intro, in Arthur's dream where his parents and sister D.W. and his dog Pal have Mr. Ratburn's face, those faces are a close reference to the slang word "ratface.
Comments
- Assuming Spooky Poo aired around the early 1970's like Scooby Doo did, that makes Arthur's Mom roughly 30 or so, based on when this episode aired.
- As we indirectly know from #41002 - "That's a Baby Show", Spooky Poo is still on TV -- it airs after Love Ducks and Mary Moo Cow.
