Arthur S02 EP07 PT01 - Arthur's TV-Free Week/Night Fright

[therunningman09]

Ah yes the 90s when our parents tried to get us to stop watching TV, don't see parents doing that nowadays, well its not like there's anything worth rotting your brain cells on the old tube anyway.

[MrCheesehed1000]

Arthur: Buster don't you think you've had enough? Buster: HEY! You don't tell me when I've had enough!I'll tell YOU when I've had enough!!!!

[MrCheesehed1000]

@Nockyout mean either. I play Minecraft like all day.

[Nockyout]

I don't even watch TV anymore.

[ren87x]

Go to 12:00. "Aw, those gold badges look wicked!" I can't believe Arthur said that, haha.

[GroverKent]

I could TV-free week easily, there's rarely anything good on TV anymore anyway... now internet-free week on the other hand, that's a different story... I was without internet in my home for a month last year, I almost died.

[Anticoolman123]

why didn't they watch stuff online like we all are?

[GroverKent]

@Anticoolman123 Because internet wasn't as easily accessible in those days (1997), and it certainly wasn't in everybody's homes back then.

[314walker]

why dont they just lie and said they watched tv

[BluefeatherandClover]

One time I went a day without watching tv

[oizaphinney]

Everyones audit and Arthur

[oizaphinney]

Arthur is in forth grade

[LILYOYA7]

[KittyKatSoftpaws]

[MrRainbowTacos]

They could've lied

[101milana]

[The23op]

[SexAndCandyHair92]

They should do a facebook free week haha.

[kyleo000]

a gold badge that says "I am a Faggot"

[ZeniJocasta]

I remember doing this in elementary school, it was hard but my family managed to do it each year somehow. Nowadays, where they include any 'entertainment' electronics,(tv, computer, game consuls) it would be twice as hard. XD

[raindropsonroses6]

All My Chickens?? Hahahaha and D.W. at 6:46

[wazup386]

for me...its coommmpppuuuutttteeerrrrr

[baileybushey]

@wazup386 mine isssssss ummmmmmm AHGGGGGG I CANT THINK OF OF ANYTHING!

[polevaultgirl33]

Eel of Fortune. Hahaha.

[polevaultgirl33]

Mr. Haney is so funny. The school would totally fall apart without Mrs. Tingley.

[caseymanyo]

uhh, jane. its sounds so weird when they dont call her mom.

[EmmJanee2012]

I miss watchin this

[jtagen1]

Pause at 5:55 and look at Sue Ellen in the background.

[polevaultgirl33]

@jtagen1 HAHA SHE'S NOT MOVING!



[SexAndCandyHair92]

@jtagen1 HAHA! She's sleeping XD

[HALIHALAO]

D.W. takes the TV-Free Week EASY THAN ARTHUR!!!!

[larryboyrocksalot]

Mrs. Read's Name Is Jane?

[larryboyrocksalot]

Like that is going to work nowadays. WE'VE GOT THE INTERNET!!! Loophole! LOOPHOLE!!! Those are so Epic.

[iq12212]

no TV but they didnt say no porn

[Butterflygal0222]

TAKE AWAY MY MILKSHAKES TOO HUH WELL I WON'T LET YOU!

[jtagen1]

Eel of Fortune? What would that be about?

[iisquishyy]

I decided i'd fo TV-Free week aswell. That's why i'm watching this from the internet.

[mbouzi777]

If my school ever had a TV-free week, I have a simple loophole: Youtube.

[HALIHALAO]

i love dw she is so funny!!!!!!!!!

[TheEpic303]

i dont really watch tv i could survive that long

[hockeyqueen]

Only in the 90's would kids give up TV just for a gold badge. Nowadays they'd want an iPhone or something lol

[agentofshield1]

As if anyone in real life would actually sign up for that. lol.

[zapleman555]

hey wait why does DW have a magazine? she can't read

[MsRoguey]

its so easy coz just play computer all day :D

[iantrack]

Have you noticed that at 5:54 until 6:00, Sue Ellens face in the backround doesn't move???!!!!

[RayquazasLilGirl]

@iantrack OMG YES and fern

[rhiane3816]

if i had tv free week ill just watch stuff on here

[KroMcLovinFaSho]

I know what I'd do - SMOKE WEED.

[cedarpaw23]

I'm just like Buster-I can do full Spongebob episodes in my head.

[Gibbs17Slayer]

Buster sure can get too paranoid.

[Cerise4697]

Not going to work these days...we have the internet xD

[blacktsunami101]

turn on tge xbox all ready!!!!!

[XCisAwesome]

7:22... This it totally an alcohol addiction reference.

[littlefrank103]

This is when the episodes take imagination to a whole new level lol

[eurasianchica]

Arthur's going to grow up to be an English teacher with two kids. Buster's going to be a stoner with the munchies. Francine's going to be a angry feminist. Muffy's going to be a socialite celebrity trainwreck. Binky's going to be a redneck in the backwoods. Brain's going to be a bioengineer or physics professor. DW's going to be single mother. Sue Ellen's going to be a philosophy major or leftist politico. And of course, the Tibbles are going to be cocaine dealing mobsters.

Ah, the diversity!

[DaLesbianOctopus]

@eurasianchica Gold. That was pure gold.

[fifared12]

lol crap

[cdolcimascolo1]

Who needs tv u can just watch it on the iPad or your pc or on u tube

[iThomasPee]

It says 8:88 on Buster's alarm clock. LOL.

[Gibbs17Slayer]

"Umm, Lots of stuff." ROFL

[agluva4ever]

who needs T.V when you have a computer?

[TabethaMiller]

[TabethaMiller]

[Rageah0lic]

binky was the original troll

[bigbang2054]

it would be hipno criminal

.

[JustPhilNY]

I find it ironic that a TV show has an episode about not watching TV, especially on PBS which is dependent on viewers like you.

Thank you.

[TheCarolStreamKid]

@JustPhilNY thank you

[RayquazasLilGirl]

you can take away my tv, but not my ipod!

[arlei26]

HAHAHAHA!!! LMAO good thing my school NEVER have TV-free week I'm so lucky LOL ;)

[jamilbigj]

brain lost cuz he saw tv thru a telescope

[NessieCullen8898]

who thinks they should make an Arthur movie!

[arlei26]

@NessieCullen8898 true to that! I'm agreed good thing they should have a real movie of Arthur! :D

[schinsen]

@NessieCullen8898 Arthur's Perfect Christmas will be available on iTunes around Dec 5!

[EveryClickCounts]

@Dahdevil100 In the time this takes place in, they couldn't get videos on their computers.

[spinyfan15]

I like the idea of tv free week, maybe even year. But Binky has some stupid reasoning. He didn't dign up because TV is his life, the rest of it is bullying. So THAT'S why he's so fat. what a dumbass.

[Zinlol]

If I was trapped on a dessert Island, I'd probably want a boat.

4:27 lol

5:23 "No, must...have....discipline...

6:38 "All My Chickens" haha

[kirbycookieful]

i went without tv for I think over 9 months.

[kirbycookieful]

tv stinks. Video games are cool.

[evergreenstater]

Buster is making up for the lack of TV with all that food. Sounds like a precursor to binge eating.

[screamDiNA]

I remembering doing TV-Free week in the 4th grade

[ABroadwaystar2534]

@screamDiNA me too, i had to do it in mast landing school. believe me, it was hard in the 3rd grade but it got easier in 4th and 5th grade!

[cherrimrocks]

i tried to go without tv for a week once. dont try it. IT DOES THINGS TO YOUR BRAIN

[ProdigiousHdawg]

Kids now-a-days could really benefit from an Internet-Free (and t.v. free) Week...That oughta be interesting.

I should propose that to my principal. I think it would be good for this generation to pull their heads out of the box of the flickering screen and back into reality. To get bored and get creative again, like we all used to do.

YEAH! :D

[Jopo1226]

@ProdigiousHdawg Yes great idea lets bring back 70's ideas to solve the problems of 2011 really super idea.

[Jopo1226]

@ProdigiousHdawg Loophole. Nintendo DS or some other handheld game system. I would have to be No electronics weeks

[YankeeMike132]

ARTHER: HEY FRANCINE YOUR SISTER DID TV FREE WEEK DID SHE SAY IT WAS HARD?

FRANCINE: NO SHE SAID IT WENT BY VERY QUICKLY AND AT THE END SHE GOT A GOLD BADGE IN SHAPED LIKE A TV

BUSTER: GOLD BADGES........ COOL

[BillyFred5]

eel of fortune! lol

[RedDaVincy]

3:32 Chinese Binky

[TheGeekThinker]

So instead of all my children, it's all my chicken... hmmm

[Ashfangirl22]

LOL I see a lot of rabbits in that school, weird. LOL Buster almost went crazy and poor Arthur, his imagination is getting the better of him.

[moppie209]

on 4:29 mrs. read looks mad

[ericdanzig13]

[HarryPotter87]

05:54 Sue Ellen looks like she's asleep and... is she holding a knife?

[GBD1000]

@HarryPotter87 Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!

[kuromi714]

Buster has a lot of "coconuts" LOL.

[ChrisMolyneaux93]

Buster is so dramatic.

[dianedecembear3]

They all don't have computers and internet ?

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

I WISH D.W. WAS IN BOOT CAMP on the Next Season. SHE'S FAR TOO MUCH TO BEAR!!

[cedarpaw23]

Do none of them have VCR's?

[MiCHAELJLYSSAPAC]

I have lived without a t.v for about 3 years now. It's fine. No internet on the

other hand...that's a whole different story

[BJ29035]

Sue Ellen: Elwood city marks thru the dead.

Arthur: BUT You Cant'!

Sue Ellen: And Please don't attempt at home or anyone else!

[asile456]

PS holy sh!t its a spoof of pepsi at 1:35!

[Chizboy101]

[kuromi714]

LOL, 6 "coconuts". ;D

[Eragarev]

So, his mom's name is Jane, huh?

[Vanessa4everable]

i dont get it. They all have computers! Cant they just watch their shows ONLINE??!!

[ZeeJeff]

@Vanessa4everable This episode aired in 1997. I don't know if you were alive then but, Internet back then was VERY SLOW and practically nobody was streaming videos that long.

[ShadowLinkxMaster]

@ZeeJeff I bet in 1997 video streaming wasn't even invented yet :P

[MarleHunter85]

@ZeeJeff @Vanessa4everable

Although it's not impossible find TV-shows in web, all shows cannot always be found, what they appears from TV. My opinion, many people cannot live without TV, even though if we have only computer like me. (However, I have computer and TV) I have 20 free channel from company of apartment house, but all channels (including 5-6 main channel) are mostly sports, news and something like that. (minus Cartoon Network & Canal+)

[GrandMasterFreshMpls]

@Vanessa4everable Haha this episode came out long before Hulu, etc.

[habs4life9]

first of all, if they do watch tv during the week, who at the school is going to know? and also, it's VERY easy to not watch tv, and even to live without tv. it's called the internet. why do they always say ppl can't live without tv when there's the internet?

[gigglebuches]

@habs4life9 This was made in the '90s. While there was internet back then it wasn't the same convenience as it is now.

[Geneobeats]

If this episode was re-made today with internet and all, it would be re-titled Arthur's Youtube-free week. Now THAT'S hard

[EeveelutionStorm]

@Geneobeats That would be awful.

[Jojo13Lorin]
