“Arthur” episodes you will never see on TV 1. “D.W. Rides ‘Crazy Bus’ to Ritalin-ville” 2. Arthur Gets Suspended From School for Pointing his finger and saying “Bang Bang” 3. After getting chicken pox (which he did in one episode), Arthur has encephalitis as a complication 4. Mom gets arrested after leaving DW in a hot car 5. Prunella Deegan Goes Into Heat 6. Mr. Crosswire receives a ransom note 7. A Very Special Episode: Pal the Dog Is “Put to Sleep” 8. Crossover Story Arc: Francine Frensky and Peppermint Patty embrace the love which dare not speak its name 9. “Arthur’s Mom and the Mailman” (OneCentStamp - yours was much more elegant than what I was thinking. Kudos!) ---
