Talk:Season 23/@comment-43797581-20191012232953

It's hard to believe, but it's only TWO DAYS until Arthur season 23 premieres! I sure am excited to see these new episodes. And I've also seen the preview clips / screenshots over the past week or so.

My final thoughts about season 23 before its official release on October 14:

Fright Night:

It looks as though my theory / hypothesis about Buster's Uncle Stu and Uncle Bob being the same person has been proven false, based on a promotional screenshot (the latter is being voiced by RL Stine, by the way). For comparison, here's Uncle Bob.



And here's Uncle Stu.



Completely different.

Although, now that I think about it, Uncle Bob looks kind of like Buster's dad, Bo Baxter, in some ways (meaning his Postcards from Buster design). But either way, I'm going to see one.

Citizen Cheikh:

I'm REALLY looking forward to this episode in particular. In fact, it's the one I'm looking forward to most. I also REALLY hope that there's a song in this episode, like "In My Africa" did! Only time will tell!

An interesting trivia: When this episode airs, it'll be nine years since the episode where Cheikh first appeared, "In My Africa", first aired in Australia in October 2010.

The Pea and the Princess:

After seeing the preview clip for this one not that long ago (it was yesterday), on top of the fact that it's at the bottom of my list of season 23 episodes that I'm looking forward to, I don't think that this one is going to be good (in my opinion).

On a side note, I actually think that this episode would've been much better as a Kate and Pal type of episode, where Arthur and DW bring Kate and Pal over to Binky and Mei Lin's house, and find out that Mei Lin doesn't like to eat peas, so Pepe and Sale (the fleas from the episode "Flea to Be You and Me") tell Mei Lin a story called 'The Pea and the Princess' to get her to eat vegetables (and peas).

DW and Dr. Whosit:

I have a possible theory about this episode: I wonder if DW is being pressured by her friends to watch 'Dr. Whosit', and if so, which one(s)?

In other words, if it's about not giving in to peer presure, then it would be great. But if it's not, and DW is just deliberately disobeying her parents, then that WOULDN'T be great.

When Duty Calls:

I'll be honest here: When I saw the preview clip for this episode, I almost starting crying. I also have another theory (that may come true): Bud will "give" Rapty to DW. If you see (or have seen) the preview clip, you'll see what I mean.

But I guess we'll just have to see these episodes for ourselves when they release. Until then, have a wonderful kind of day!
