tl;dw:
  • Sue Ellen receives a gift from her pen pal: a coat made of yak wool and wears it to school. Arthur thinks it makes her look like a sheep dog, and makes a constant volley of jokes about it; at first, Sue Ellen rolls with it, but she and everyone else starts getting annoyed by it after a while.
  • Arthur draws a picture of a sheep dog with her head on its body and sticks it to her locker, which angers her. He's reprimanded by Mr. Ratburn for his bullying, and is told that he has to write a letter to Sue Ellen apologizing to her.
  • However, the letter Arthur writes is extremely passive-aggressive, and gaslights her for not being able to take a joke. Because of this, Buster, Francine, and Muffy stop talking to Arthur. (Though Buster does a bad job at it.)
  • Arthur still thinks that Sue Ellen overreacted, so he photoshops a dog's head on Sue Ellen's body and emails it to her, which makes her not only get rid of the coat, but ask to change classes so she doesn't have to deal with Arthur anymore.
  • It's only hearing this news and Arthur seeing the coat in the school's donation boxes does he realize what he did and genuinely apologizes, wearing the coat as a gesture of goodwill.

I think you're taking this topic too seriously.

when people make topics like these, it's often because of entertainment, nostalgia, and/or personal interest purposes.

plus since Arthur is coming to an end, it's also pretty topical.

Well to be fair this board moves at lightning speed sometimes. I posted something before and literally 5 min later it was already on the second page when I have 50 topics per page.

It was alright, I mainly watched it out of morbid curiosity after reading about it elsewhere. Some of it did seem out-of-character for Arthur, even considering that he had his moments in the earlier episodes. Though it's also from the Flash era (well after the point where I stopped watching the show), so the stiff animation didn't really do it much favor.

The earlier episodes were pretty great, and enjoyable for both kids and adults (there were even parodies of South Park and Beavis and Butthead). I can't really speak as much on the newer ones other than the stiff flash animation and--according to my sister--a drop in writing quality (though it could also be that we're just older and/or the current writers may be shifting more towards writing for kids).

That was never by bag, after my time. But Buster father looking human like always freaked me the fuck out. I am like what the hell .

For what it's worth, I've seen most of the series including the newer stuff. The first season when they changed animation, it was stiff. Then towards the end of the season, it highly improved. Keep in mind an Arthur season takes like 2-3 years to air all of. The season after, most episodes are fine, it's just when they do certain group movement things that it might look jarring still. Though, I guess if you haven't seen any of the new stuff, it would all still be jarring.

Geez, that's rather overly dickish even with the whole "Too young to fully understand tact and empathy".

Good on Sue Ellen though for not caving and forgiving Arthur when he still thought she was "just overreacting".

Yeah. The only unrealistic thing the entire episode was the teacher stepping in before a fight broke out or worse.
