Talk:D.W. and Dr. Whosit/@comment-32560263-20191108191737

Rethinking this episode, it certainly is vomitrocious. Its similarities to "Arthur Rides the Bandwagon" do not help. Some random TV show becoming so popular that everybody says the catchphrase, from 3rd graders to adults, randomly out in public is too hard for me to take seriously. Yeah, Dr. Who was decently popular, but if you ever shouted stuff about it in public, people would think you're insane.

I can get the moral that some stuff isn't for kids and that your parents have rules in place because they know what's best for you. That's a good message, especially on TV. But this episode completely breaks that moral.

D.W. and Bud do end up watching Dr. Whosit. Nothing really bad comes out of it, they just find the show boring. D.W. gets punished with no TV for a week and Bud gets off with no punishment. Arthur is not allowed to watch Dr. Whosit anymore, either, so... D.W. wins in the end? She got to watch the show, learned that she doesn't like it anyways, got a week-long punishment, and Arthur won't be able to watch the show for at least a few years.

D.W. trying to get the password and even stealing her parents' password book... I genuinely could not believe what I was watching. That's such a bad thing to be showing to kids. I bet that a few kids have found their parents' passwords because of this episode and watched things they weren't supposed to see. This episode feels like it was left over from Season 1 with how bad it is.
