Top 10 Worst Moments from Arthur

If that were me, she could keep on crying until she tires herself out as far as I'm concerned. She already intruded on Arthur and David's trip to the museum, and that should have been more than enough for her. Yet, she has the nerve to say it isn't fair that she can't go on their father-son fishing trip. It doesn't matter how old the kid is. She needs to be told firmly that no means no.

The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Read prioritize D.W. over Arthur is absolutely disgraceful. This episode proves it. Arthur was supposed to have two trips just for him and his father, but D.W. fake cries (no tears are shown in any of the scenes) until she gets what she wants. At 4 years old, she should know not to throw tantrums like this. In life, you cannot always get what you want. All Arthur wanted was some father-son time, and because Mr. and Mrs. Read don't tell D.W. "no," it is unacceptable.

I'm not saying that Arthur is a perfect angel, as he has times when he is unlikable, but those moments are few and far between. D.W. is almost never likable in my opinion, and this episode demonstrates just that. The only thing I actually like about this episode is at the end when Arthur got to see the whale at the lake, so he at least somewhat won in the end.

We all know that being left out sucks. It certainly does, no matter what age you are. D.W.'s parents should have done more to control her since she was basically insufferable throughout most of the episode.

D.W. acts like a complete brat for the entirety of the episode, and the show expects us to sympathize with her. Oh, and she is never punished and instead gets to go to Francine's birthday party to make Lisa and her friends - the girl whose party she wasn't invited to - jealous.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why D.W. sucks.

Sue Ellen has always been my favorite character, and she's arguably one of the nicest. Her own friend bullying her to the point that she cried was heartbreaking. Arthur absolutely does not deserve her.

It was not like Arthur to do that sort of thing.

Even Mr. Ratburn tells Arthur that he's acting out of character.

Even though she's only four, she's old enough to be punished for what she did. She was also told numerous times not to touch the plane. Don't let little kids off easy because of the so-called "cuteness factor" or any nonsense like that. If they do something wrong, then they need consequences - simple as that.

This should indeed always be considered the worst moment in all of Arthur ever. She didn't even know or understand that a model plane is not made or meant to fly itself - it's just for pretend, make-believe. That's similar to Buzz Lightyear not being a flying toy.

Muffy was never really a favorite character of mine. With the things she does, it's a wonder how she still has any friends at all. If I had a friend like that, you can bet I would drop that friend real fast. Arthur got annoyed with all those unnecessary pep rallies and nonsense, and who could really blame him? Real friends would be considerate and back off if asked nicely.

After Arthur gets super angry at everyone for endlessly pestering him during a rally over a checkers tournament, Muffy makes a very biased web video portraying Arthur negatively and replaying the footage of him yelling at the top of his lungs.

D.W. learns a bad word after overhearing an older kid, the Tibbles, tell her that adults hate it because it turns them into mindless slaves. Not believing them, she tests it out by tricking her neighbor, Vicita, into using the swear word while she watches to see what happens. While this is happening, Mom calls her down for dinner. Annoyed by this, D.W. actually uses the swear word on her mom after seeing Vicita use the word and get in trouble for it.

As D.W. then realizes that she too is in trouble, Mom shows up shocked by what D.W. just said. But the most unsettling part of the episode is at the end when all the little kids begin using the swear word and then thank D.W. for teaching them the word.

It's understandable if someone's not feeling well and needs to be tended to. But sometimes even the unwell can take too much advantage of someone waiting on them hand and foot. The best way to handle that is to get them a couple of things so that they can occupy themselves for a little while. If I were Arthur, that's what I would do for D.W., and I would tell her plainly not to ring the bell unless there's something she really needs.

D.W. loses her voice, and Arthur's mom makes Arthur take care of her by giving her a bell to get him to do or give her anything she wants. Then Arthur finds out she got her voice back and makes the foolish mistake of barging in on her. D.W. continues to fake being sick so Arthur will continue to be her slave.

Another example of Muffy being such a terrible friend. She acts like a baby when staying with Francine and her family just because the accommodations weren't good enough for her. She was nothing but ungrateful. If she expected "The Ritz," she could have gone elsewhere with the wealth her family has.

One of the many reasons why I really don't like Muffy is that Francine is kind enough to invite Muffy to stay with her while they're fixing the carpet, and Muffy acts so spoiled and rude, only thinking about her own needs. This gets summed up in one line: "Let me get this straight, I can't have food I like, I can't watch the TV channels I want, and now I can't play my music."

Everyone convinces Mr. Ratburn to give Francine a good role, which she gets as the lead role of Thomas Edison. Francine then goes way overboard, bossing everyone around and being abusive toward them.

In response, everyone purposely ruins the show for the kindergartners, bringing Francine to tears. She accuses them of ruining her show, but they remind her that it's not just her show. In the end, they reconcile and put on the show. However, Francine never truly apologizes for how she acted in this episode.

Francine clearly told Muffy time and time again that she couldn't go to her party because of Hanukkah. Muffy has the nerve to yell at her over the phone for not being there, and she goes one step further by telling her, "It's not like Hanukkah is as important as Christmas!" This really offends Francine.

I hated how inconsiderate Muffy was. Francine told her 28 times that she couldn't attend her Christmas party because she had plans of her own. To think Muffy said Francine was rude when she was the one being rude - she thinks she's the exception. Muffy was a major creep in this episode.

It's about time their grandmother finally chastised them for their behavior. She means well, but she needs to put those two gremlin grandsons in line more often. It's no wonder nobody other than Arthur will look after them.

I'm glad Mrs. Tibble, their grandma, scolded them for the damage.

Ms. Tingly is pure evil, and what's worse is that George is completely out of character. In the end, he never apologizes to his friends for being rude. Also, Mr. Haney should have left Lakewood, and Binky would have been a better Hall Monitor than George!

It's just a rip-off of the Hey Arnold! episode where Phoebe becomes a hall monitor.

It was mostly Jane Read's fault for demanding D.W. get rid of her toys before all this happened!

The Tibbles are completely at their worst! I felt bad for D.W. for the torture she endured.

This is more like a rip-off of Arthur's Faraway Friend. The ending was very bad because the Compsons left Elwood City. The episode would have been better if the Tibble Twins had moved away to Oregon instead, and Ladonna and D.W. would have taken Fern's role.

This episode would have been better if the Tibbles moved away instead of the Compsons, so Ladonna and D.W. could still appear, but in Fern's role.

It's not a terrible episode, but the subject matter is too unnerving for me personally.

It was quite inconsiderate of Jane to have done that. It's unbelievable that she said yes to Bitzi about putting it in the paper. How hard is it to keep your mouth shut and not embarrass the kid? I know sometimes parents do embarrass their children unintentionally, but after D.W. confronted her mother about it, Jane said she'd never tell that story again.

Only then, when they go to "Wonder World," Jane blabs about it to Mrs. McGrady, and that results in D.W. running off in tears. You'd think she'd get the message after her daughter asked her to stop the first time.

The scene would have been better if Ladonna had put her like list in her pocket. That way, George wouldn't have seen it on the ground.
