Maybe you're right. I mean, I'd still like to see a tornado in this cartoon, but I see your point and I have to try not to be selfish. I don't want kids to be traumatized.

When I first watched TWISTER (1996), though I became interested in tornadoes after that, I was also a bit terrified. I was 11 at the time I watched it. And seeing that F4 tornado made an impression on me. The one that hit the Drive In movie, and later Aunt Meg's town. I've never seen a tornado that big! And then that ugly looking F5 tornado that followed! Whew! And man, seeing Jo's father get sucked right out of the cellar! That movie changed and affected me, for the good and bad, and changed how I saw this world. Well something changed in me.

And watching Volcano, with Tommy Lee Jones, I also watched that when I was 11 but a few months later in the following year, that was also terrifying and moreso than Twister. And when I saw Dante's Peak a few months later that same year, 3 days before I started 6th Grade, that also terrified me.

Like I said, I'd still like to see a tornado on Arthur just to see what it would be like, and it doesn't have to be an F5 tornado, I'd settle for sn F1 or F0. But you're right, I don't want kids to be terrified. In fact, it could probably traumatize autistic children, including children with Asperger's. I have Asperger's myself so I can understand and relate, and I watched Carl in George and the Missing Puzzle Piece.

I also know how it feels to be turned off from T.V. shows and not want to watch them for a time. I stopped watching Fairly Odd Parents due to male fairy pregnancy, which I still hate, but started watching it again a few months later. And believe it or not, I stopped watching Arthur in 2009 and didn't watch it again until 2012. It's a long story why I expelled Arthur from my life, but I had to put my watching of Arthur on hiatus. Thankfully the hiatus is over and hopefully there won't be another one. But the bottom line, I don't want anyone turned off from Arthur.

Besides, there's a fanfic about a tornado in Elwood City, and I've been thinking of writing an Arthur-Tornado fanfic myself.

It would be nice if there was an Arthur series for more mature audiences, but NOT too mature. It should be as high as TVG and no higher. Okay maybe that's a bad idea, in fact stupid idea. Arthur is fine just the way it is and will never go higher than rated TV-Y. And I doubt Brown will give permission to make a more mature version of Arthur the series, whether it's TV-Y7, TV-G,TV-PG. If it was TV-14, i'm not sure I'd watch it, probably not. And TV-MA, DEFINITELY NOT! No maybe about that.

But you're right RSully94. I didn't think about that and wouldn't have had you not told me.
