    When watching I want to get some glasses. Arthur need glasses too. I cannot see. When I likeed it, Francine's Bad Hair Day is what I like. I was suprised when Francine got a bad hair due. I do not have bad hair but Sarah does. Maybe I should call her Sarahneea.
  • The first episode of the show Arthur.

    About 6 years ago, I saw the first episode of Arthur. It got me into liking the Arthur character. In Arhur\'s glasses, Arthur learns that he needs to get glasses and becomese embarresed at school. Eventually he learns that many people have glasses and that he\'s not the only one. In Francine\'s Bad Hair Day, it\'s school picture day at school. Muffy, Francine\'s friend, persuades her to have a nice hairdo for the picture. By the time she goes to get her picture, it\'s all messed up. These episodes are events that happen to the typical kid.moreless

    This was the very first ep I ever saw. I remeber it vividally. I was bouncing on the couch waiting for Puzzle Place to come on. Then all of a sudden this new show had taken over my TV. At first I figured I would hate it, but this first ep got me hooked. Arthur getting his glasses was great. I wanted glasses after watching him get to try all of them on. Then when Francine got her hairdo I couldn't really relate to that but, I liked how everybodies pics were messed up. Its becuase of his ep I watch Arthur today.moreless

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (9)

    • When Arthur asks Francine why she can't play, the green bow is missing but in the next shot, the bow is back.

    • "Francine's Bad Hair Day"- When Prunella screams about Francine getting the ball, you can see Francine looking at Prunella.

    • "Francine's Bad Hair Day"- In Francine's dream when Arthur is holding the ball, he has no pupils.

    • When the teacher hands him his test paper, the paper just says Arthur's name and the rest of the paper is blank!

    • When Arthur comes out of the girl's bathroom when everyone is staring at him, you can see D.W. and Mrs. Woods(not introduced yet). Why are they there? They don't go to that school.

    • "Arthur's Eyes"- Muffy is in this episode and he gets his glasses, but in "Arthur and the True Francine" he already has his glasses and she moves in.

    • In "Arthur's Eyes", Arthur is seen without his glasses for most of the show. They appear to be fairly standard, white circles with black pupils. In later episodes when his glasses come off, they appear as tiny black dots.

    • In theme song, Arthur is seen walking around a globe of the Earth. Unfortunately, he walks over the Pacific Ocean. A special land mass had to be invented between the Americas and Asia to even out the look of the landmasses.

      Editor's reply: It's a theme song animation! Anything can happen in it! Like how could Arthur jump through a brick wall? Theme song, people, theme song!

    • Alright, in the beginning of "Arthur's Eyes", pay attention to when they're playing basketball. Watch throughout the whole game. Every now and then, you see Sue Ellen, who didn't come to their school 'til way after Arthur got his glasses. Oops

  • QUOTES (5)

    • (Arthur, without his glasses, enters the girls' room unintentionally.)

      Francine: I said if I'm not batting cleanup, I'm not playing.
      Arthur: Francine?!
      (Francine and Muffy yell upon seeing Arthur.)
      Arthur and Francine: What are you doing in here?!?!
      Francine: This is the girls' room. Get outta here!

    • Buster: (as he has his school picture taken) Remember me? I'm the one who burped. (Camera takes his picture with Buster's eyes closed.)

    • Francine: (after Arthur fails his eye exam) Arthur's in trouble!
      Muffy: How do you get in trouble with the nurse?

    • Buster: (when Francine's hairclip flies across the hallway) It's alive!

    • Francine: Hey, Buster, look! There's Arthur the 'Four-Eyes'.

  • NOTES (2)

    • The story "Arthur's Eyes" is based off the 1979 book of the same name by Marc Brown. Even though it wasn't the first book in the Arthur Adventure series, it was the first to feature Arthur's trademark glasses. Many of the elements in the book are the same as this episode, except Arthur tries to destroy his glasses by putting them in the laundry (instead of having D.W. try to smash them), and Arthur notices that his teacher's reading glasses look exactly like Arthur's own glasses (like Wilbur Rabbit's glasses in the TV show.) The book version also ends with the class having their school picture taken (and Francine wears her movie star glasses for them.) The book was also adapted into an episode of Reading Rainbow in 1983, read by Bill Cosby.

    • If you look closely, you can see Sue Ellen in Arthur's second grade class in Arthur's Eyes and other flashback episodes to the second grade.
