Heads-up! New episodes of Arthur begin this coming Friday, April 22. It begins with "Follow the Bouncing Ball / Buster Baxter and the Letter From the Sea," described as follows: Alberto Molina loses his soccer ball, signed by his favorite player El Boomerang; Buster finds a message in a bottle. I believe that the outdoorish theme of this episode may be designed to coordinate with Earth Day, as PBSKids is airing a bevy of other Earth Day-themed programming on that day, including new episodes of some of its shows.
The fun continues the week after, starting on April 25.
April 25 - "Around the World in 11 Minutes / Muffy and the Big Bad Blog" - "Nemo dares his friends to travel around the world and return within 11 minutes; Muffy goes too far with her web-blogging." (Note: I have already seen the second half online - it's very entertaining.)
April 26 - "Arthur Unravels / All the Rage" - "Grandma Thora teaches Arthur how to knit; Muffy wants to create a fashion fad."
April 27 - "D.W., Queen of the Comeback / In My Africa" - "D.W. responds to teasing; D.W., Brain, and Cheikh write a song about African countries."
April 28 - "Buster Spaces Out / The Long Road Home" - "Buster wants to go to outer space; George is determined to walk from Crown City to Elwood City to raise money for charity."
