Talk:Shelter from the Storm/@comment-24669562-20150909061909

I finally watched it, another good episode! Kid-friendly but good episode. No tornadoes included but that's okay.

I have wondered what it would be like for Muffy and her family to leave the comfort of their home. They're house wasn't affected too badly, just the first floor was flooeded and they had no power (not the first time this happened to them, mostly likely not the second but the first time or third time, they've probably had many outages before but I know there was an outage during "The Blizzard" as said in the Trivia and may have also happened in the later episode "The Blackout" http://arthur.wikia.com/wiki/The_Blackout but I don't know for sure. I don't think Muffy or her house was included in this episode. I'd need to watch it again.

And Muffy has had to leave her house in "Poor Muffy" due to being allergic to her carpet. http://arthur.wikia.com/wiki/Poor_Muffy

But I have thought of Muffy and her family having to leave their house or be displaced but due to them having finacial problems like what happened to Rhonda and the her parents (Hey Arnold, a cartoon I don't watch anymore) and some rich people don't stay rich. I don't know if they'll ever make such an episode.

Muffy was better than she was in "The Great MacGradey," when she met this girl in the shelter. That poor girl (I forget her name right now) and her mother who lost their home. And it was very nice of Muffy to offer her to stay with them, I mean this isn't like Muffy, but she can be nice and offering and sympathetic, at least she was this time. What if they had stayed there? Woud Muffy and that girl given each other a hard time? Some things work out for the best. If I stayed with Muffy whether for a short or especially long time, I'd want to leave and woudn't want to go back.

Brain, as smart as he is, was being presumptuous and over-confident again. He was all right at first but later he does have psychological issues because of the Hurricane. He was presumptuous once before in the episode "S.W.E.A.T." Sorry Brain, but nobody knows everything, not even you. But I suffer from psychological problems myself so I kind of know how Brain feels. I've never been through a Hurricane before and never want to (which is why I hate living on the coast of any place. We almost moved back to Florida in mid 2012 but my mother decided against it and good thing too. We were supposed to move to St. Petersburg, but we didn't and it's a good thing because a Hurricane or some big storm happened there, although I don't think it was Hurricane Sandy, which did occur sometime later that year. But I have been through a tornado, only I didn't know it at the time, and this happened in northern Florida (hence me saying "back to Flordia" earlier because I was in Florida before and we had a big storm that night, and we were on the Freeway of all places! I later learned that big storm wasn't just any storm, there were actually tornadoes! My mother even said there was one in front of us and one behind us! Thankfully we pulled into a rest stop and we survived but couldn't go to the bathroom until the next morning. My my my. That's the only natural disaster I've ever been through in my life. "Don't worry William, you'll go through another one someday."

I also don't want to live near a volcano! I live in Tucson, AZ, so we're fine weather-wise, the worst we get are microbursts. We also have heat to deal with and we don't always get the rain we need athoguh this year El Nino is occuring so we're supposed to have thunderstorms happening even after monsoon season ends (and it's happened before, it happened back in 2000 and 2001, and I didn't like it then.) But we can have an earthquake since we're next door to California and right above Mexico and we've felt California's earthquakes (although I don't remember feeling any personally but will if I'm fortunate enough, and tornadoes have occured in Southern Arizona but usually we get funnel clouds and that's it. But something might just happen in Tucson, although it sure would stink if we had an earthquake and a tornado at the same time in Tucson. I have a feeling something will happen in Tucson, I just don't know what or when or how severe it'll be, but I have a hunch something will happen in Tucson.

Getting back to this episode, I was thinking, we could write our versions of this episode. In fact, if you weren't satisfied with the content of this episode and wanted something more intense or more graphic, you could write your version of this episode, I'm thinking of doing so. Please note that, and I was told this earlier (see my prior comment below) that this show is more for little kids than for older viewers like myself, that's why we didn't see some things happen or why some things didn't happen, Like Arthur's house or Buster's house being destroyed, and that's also why tornadoes didn't occur like I would have liked to see (or the people making this episode just decided not to include any or whatever), but that's what fanfics are for, to write things we don't get to see on TV or on our favorite TV shows. I'm considering writing my version of Shelter from the Storm but I don't know if I ever will, but if I do, it will be more graphic than what we saw but not too graphic (for one, I will not include cuss words) and likely I will include a tornado or some tornadoes. Maybe add more detail to the storm, maybe a little more panic or pandamonium.

Remember, this is Arthur, not The Simpsons, or whatever other cartoons or shows that do things you don't see on Arthur. although Arthur has crossed some bounds and had some controversial events, but there are some things we will never see on Arthur, some things we shouldn't even want to see. Think back on the episode "The Squirells" they didn't go too into detail with that, at least not the movie. And "April 9th," they didn't show the fire for every long and didn't show the flames spreading. And in "The Great MacGrady," they didn't have Mrs. MacGradey having a near-death experiene with cancer, as Mr. Ratburn said, "They caught it."

Arthur does include real-life events but they make it light or keep out the more graphic things, or, hopefully you guys know what I'm trying to say. And though Arthur is Rated TV-Y, it is a little close to TV-Y7 to me.

Oh, one more thing I liked about this episode, I got to see Ladonna's entire family! I honestly hope Bud isn't psychic! But Bud sure is a freak of nature if you ask me! Like his "Power Stare." But isn't evil and is very kind and caring, still you better watch out for him! He's no hurricane but he might be "unpredictable" (coming from what the Powers said in this episode.)

I'd like to see more of Gussie and what he's like. Was nice to see Captain Rufus Tucker in action and to hear him talk, though he doesn't look the way I'd expect him to. Plus, he and Rattle's Stepfather to be, look alike, except Mr. Compson has red hair and Rattle's stepfather has blond hair.

Okay I'm gonna be quiet now, this comment has gotten too long, except that I'm glad I finally got to see this episode. Any response? (hopefully and preferaby nice ones)
