The World of Tomorrow

The World of Tomorrow is the first-half of the eighth episode of Season 7. It first aired on November 27, 2002.

Premise

Since Binky's repeating third grade, he's totally dreading Mr. Ratburn's annual class sleepover at the Science Museum. After all, he remembers how boring it was last year... wouldn't the second time around be twice as dull? But an enticing new exhibit - on visions of the future! - shows Binky that science knowledge can really come in handy.

Trivia

Notes

• In "The World of Tomorrow," while at the museum, Sue Ellen and George do the same thing that their look alikes did last year. Sue Ellen (and her look alike) rubs their feet on the carpet and shock Binky, at the static electricity exhibit. George (and his look alike) set off an alarm by sneaking and stealing a model car from an exhibit.
• Viewers learn in "The World of Tomorrow" that Binky was in Mr. Ratburn's class the year before. Previously, it had only been stated that he was made to repeat third grade.
• In Mr. Ratburn's other third grade class, the one Binky was in, there are kids that look, wear colors, and have characteristics just like Francine, Sue Ellen, Fern, Jenna, Arthur, Buster, George, and the Brain. The same thing applies to the students in Mr. Price-Jones' class.

Goofs

• In this episode, Binky hates mac'n'cheese, but in "Francine Redecorates" he says he loves mac'n'cheese!
• If Mr. Ratburn wanted the class to go to sleep rather than talk, that would include Binky.

Quotes

• Buster: Whoa, this is so cool. Did they have this exhibit here last year?
• Binky: That's the coat room, doofus!

---

• Mr. Ratburn: Lights out, everyone. No talking. Sleep well. (Turns lights off)
• (Everyone except Binky make sounds & laugh until.....)
• Binky: HEY! THE MAN SAID "NO TALKING!" MOW, EVERYBODY, GET...TO...SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
