I don't think we've seen Harry since his first appearance, so him breaking up with Bitzi doesn't matter much. He actually does ''more'' in the show after this point. Besides that, this is kind of a strange episode. Why is there a random "Happy St. Patrick's" banner in the school? Is the song that Buster plays a real one or just made for the show? (I'm inclined to believe it's real because this same episode mentions the Backstreet Boys.) How do 5 dollars and 5 unspecified coins add up to 7 dollars?

This episode has some funny moments.

The plot is interesting and Fern and Francine are good characters here. This is a '''good''' episode. | |||

Arthur has a point here, in that Buster actually wasn't doing much work. If I wrote this episode, I'd have Buster learn that he actually can't do the snow shoveling since he just got the money from doing the easy parts; once he takes the jobs, he realizes that it's harder to do alone and re-partners with Arthur. But nope, Buster earns an extra dollar than Arthur for this and his business ends up being more successful. The rest is just them advertising and eventually lowering their prices. Arthur ends up wasting his day off from school and hardly makes any money, so this is kind of a sad ending. This episode's broken moral, annoying characters, and lack of humor give it a '''bad''' rating. The only thing I really liked is how D.W. helps Arthur. | |||

Brain is annoying in this episode, I'll admit. I don't like how he thinks not being annoying is just not saying anything, even when Mr. Ratburn asks a general question to the class he knows the answer to or Arthur ''directly asks him for advice''. This episode gets a low '''okay''' from me. | |||

Revision as of 02:44, 21 April 2020
Season 7 leaned more towards good than bad. Will Season 8 continue this upwards trend?
I will rate each episode on a scale from Vomitrocious, Bad, Okay, Good, Great. At the end of my review, I'll count up how many of each rating there are in the season, and give it a rating as a whole, alongside ranking every episode in the season from best to worst.
Dear Adil
This episode is like a better version of "Sue Ellen Moves In." We see Adil early in the episode and we already know what he does and what he's like, so it makes Arthur's wrong assumptions even funnier. Arthur doesn't come off as annoying here, either. Like in "Arthur Writes a Story," he just wants his writing to be interesting and doesn't know what he's doing. There isn't a character I don't like in this episode. It's funny, has a good moral, and kept me invested. I'll give it a good rating.
Bitzi's Break-Up
I don't think we've seen Harry since his first appearance, so him breaking up with Bitzi doesn't matter much. He actually does more in the show after this point. Besides that, this is kind of a strange episode. Why is there a random "Happy St. Patrick's" banner in the school? Is the song that Buster plays a real one or just made for the show? (I'm inclined to believe it's real because this same episode mentions the Backstreet Boys.) How do 5 dollars and 5 unspecified coins add up to 7 dollars? Why exactly did Harry and Bitzi break up (it's mentioned that they just have "busy schedules" and not elaborated on more)? This episode has a few funny moments and the plot is okay, if a little confusing. I guess it gets an okay rating.
Fernfern and the Secret of Moose Mountain
This episode has some funny moments. I like how Fern just asks the ranger about people who died on the mountain, Muffy not wanting to go on the hike, and Francine getting annoyed with Fern's constant Zutzut references. The plot is interesting and Fern and Francine are good characters here. This is a good episode.
Thanks a Lot, Binky
I appreciate this episode's moral. Other than that, it's kind of boring and is pretty unremarkable. It's okay.
Arthur's Snow Biz
Arthur has a point here, in that Buster actually wasn't doing much work. If I wrote this episode, I'd have Buster learn that he actually can't do the snow shoveling since he just got the money from doing the easy parts; once he takes the jobs, he realizes that it's harder to do alone and re-partners with Arthur. But nope, Buster earns an extra dollar than Arthur for this and his business ends up being more successful. The rest is just them advertising and eventually lowering their prices. Arthur ends up wasting his day off from school and hardly makes any money, so this is kind of a sad ending. This episode's broken moral, annoying characters, and lack of humor give it a bad rating. The only thing I really liked is how D.W. helps Arthur.
Bugged
Brain is annoying in this episode, I'll admit. I don't like how he thinks not being annoying is just not saying anything, even when Mr. Ratburn asks a general question to the class he knows the answer to or Arthur directly asks him for advice. This episode gets a low okay from me.
