I know, right? Why do some people think that it's the second episode of the 23rd season, and that the actual second episode of season 23, The Pea and the Princess / DW and Dr. Whosit, is the third one?

In fact, I can answer my own question: The PBS scheduling department messed up big time.

This isn't the first time this has happened, either; in fact, it's happened several times throughout Arthur's history, even as far back as Season 4 (which is technically Series 5 in production terms, because Season 2 was technically two separate production runs, Series 2 and Series 3, aired as one long season here in the USA. Likewise, Season 3 is technically Series 4).

On CINAR's old website from circa 1999-2004 (which you can find on web.archive.org when searching for cinar.com), an old press release for Arthur in 1999 labels Season 4 (or Series 5)'s first episode as "My Music Rules / That's a Baby Show!". But yet, the PBS scheduling system puts it at the END of Season 4, even though there is proof and evidence otherwise (I'll provide a link for proof ASAP).

But yes, you're right; When Duty Calls IS the third episode of Season 23.

Have a wonderful kind of day!
