Arthur and Buster Thanksgiving Spectacular

The Arthur and Buster Thanksgiving Spectacular is a two-hour special featuring back-to-back episodes of Arthur and Postcards from Buster. It aired on PBS on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2005.

This special was hosted by Taylor and Kyle from Zoom, with original interstitial postcard segments from Buster and a small additional factoid regarding Arthur and Buster. The theme of the special was food, family and friends, topics that were focused on in each of the main feature episodes. At the end of the special, a secret password for The Tibble Super Action Challenge, a new game at the official PBS Kids Arthur website was revealed.

Episodes

The Arthur stories shown were:

• "Buster's Green Thumb"
• "Dad's Dessert Dilemma"
• "Thanks a Lot, Binky"
• "The Ballad of Buster Baxter"

The Postcards from Buster episodes shown were:

• "Best Friends"

Trivia

• In the final interstitial segment, "FETCH" is spelled with magnetic letters on the refrigerator. This is a subtle hint at the next upcoming PBS Kids Go! series Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, which also included Taylor as a cast member.
• The special aired only once, and never reran after the Thanksgiving 2005 holiday.
