Plot[edit]

  • Trailer: Arthur is getting ready to start his new podcast. He has his recording equipment set up in his bedroom, but D.W. is curious and eager to interrupt. She wants to make the show all about her instead. Arthur explains that the podcast will be about his friends and family.
  • Spelling Trubble: Arthur is surprised when he and Brain are chosen to represent Mr. Ratburn’s class in the school-wide spellathon. Arthur didn’t study! How will he be able to compete against the smartest kid in the school and last year’s reigning champ?

  • Long Dull Winter: When Arthur and his friends catch a case of the winter blues, they decide that having a holiday to celebrate is the only way to cure it. Since there are no major holidays coming up, they take it upon themselves to create a brand new one!
  • Crunch Cereal: Arthur is determined to win the new Crunch Cereal Jingle contest! All he needs is a band…and lyrics…and a melody.
  • Arthurs Pet Business: To prove to his parents that he’s responsible enough to have a dog of his own, Arthur creates his own pet sitting business. But managing all these pets turns out to be harder than he bargained for!
  • The World Record: Arthur and his friends want to break a world record, but can’t seem to agree on which record to break!

  • Speak Up, Francine: After discovering that the local creek is polluted, Francine is determined to get the word out during Elwood City’s Earth Day Rally. But will her fear of public speaking get in her way?
  • Desk Wars: It’s the hottest school day of the year and tempers are even hotter. The tension comes to a head when Mr. Ratburn moves Brain and Arthur away from their usual desks and sets off the most dramatic desk war in third grade history!
  • The Case Of the Girl with the Long Face: Fern has been feeling down, but none of her friends know why! Buster Baxter, private eye, is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery.
  • Arthur's New Old Vacation: Arthur’s family goes on the same summer vacation every year to Codpocket Lake. But this year, Arthur wants to go to the pirate-themed amusement park: Dead Man’s Cove. Can he convince his family to change up their usual vacation destination?
  • Arthur's Big Meltdown: Arthur is usually pretty calm, but even the most mild-mannered kid gets upset sometimes! When his friends ruin his brand new pair of sneakers, Arthur flips out. Will he be able to salvage his reputation—and his friendships?
  • How the Cookie Crumbles: Muffy is determined to win the cookie competition at this year’s Strawberry Festival. Together with her friends, she makes the perfect batch of cookies with a brand new recipe. But she’ll have to decide which is more important: getting all the credit, or keeping her friends!
  • Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone: Arthur’s third grade class is shocked when they discover that Mr. Ratburn is getting married. When they overhear Mr. Ratburn talking about a wedding with a woman named Patty, the kids worry that he’s marrying someone even tougher than he is!

Trivia[edit]

Errors[edit]

  • Scare-Your-Pants-Off: The plot on YouTube misspelled as "When a group called “Parents Against Weird Stories” trird to ban the “Scare-Your-Pants-Off” books, it’s up to Arthur and his friends to save their favorite book series!"

References[edit]

  • Locked In The Library: Historical figures Joan of Arc and Harriet Tubman are mentioned.
  • Desk Wars:
    • This title is similar to Star Wars and Heli Wars and Base Wars, which the latter two are Roblox games.
    • This episode is reminiscent of World War I because various alliances and incidents dragged countries into the conflict just like how the students were forming alliances and causing conflict amongst one another
    • The students are also writing reports on the United Nations, an intergovernmental organization.

Differences from the T.V. show[edit]

  • Desk Wars:
    • Unlike the television episode, the man who intervenes the chaos is Mr. Ratburn instead of Mr. Haney. This is likely due to the 2014 passing of Haney's voice actor, Walter Massey.
    • George's role is substituted by Fern in the podcast. Many of George's original speaking lines remain the same, except Fern says them.
    • Sue Ellen plays a small role in the original television episode, but she is only mentioned in the podcast.
    • In the television episode, the chaos is triggered when George's gummy dinosaur model is squashed, while in the podcast the trigger is Fern sharpening Brain's pencil.
