I'm using "off his rocker" as an idiom, meaning out of his mind, crazy, or very out of the ordinary. Just look at the previous comments on this page. General consensus is that episode sucks, lol. I'm "just saying" because I typically have huge respect for Mr. Hirsch and all he's done in for Arthur.

Voice acting aside, Arthur is very much out of character in this episode. Quite frankly, I'm surprised Sue Ellen takes such offense by Arthur's comments toward her, since she's usually such a strong-willed character who's willing to stand up for herself. Recall, that she is the first one to stand up to Binky Barnes in Season 1.

It seems like PBS really likes the episode for its anti-bullying message, and I can see how they might like the idea that anyone can be a bully (and not realize it) and anyone can be bullied (even someone who usually stands firm). While this episode might get that message across, it's executed poorly.
