History Awesome / Arthur

* Josh Herdman and Yo Yo Ma's cover of The Crazy Bus actually makes the MostAnnoyingSound become ''a lot'' more bearable.

* "Arthur Cleans Up". Pal nearly chokes to death on the Tough Customers' garbage. Arthur gets fed up, and puts them in their place. He demands that the Tough Customers help him to clean up the park, and they comply.

** "Operation D.W." Not the episode itself, but the execution of it. [[spoiler: The operation in question involves D.W. having tubes inserted into her ears, a very common solution for childhood ear infections. The beauty behind having D.W. undergo such a simple procedure is that the episode focus stays on the basics of surgery, rather than any causes of fear, stress, or pain that might come after the operation (and don't necessarily apply to everybody).]] The writers avoided scaring a lot of children unnecessarily.

* "Fifteen." [[spoiler: Arthur's report is recovered just in time to give his class a No Homework Day (which, given Nigel Ratburn, is awesome in itself), George wins a quiz show, as well as money for the school and Pal foils Nemo, and ''D.W. is nowhere in sight''.]]

* Fern gets sick of being teased for her passion, and dares her classmates to try it.

* "D.W. Rides Again." Love or hate D.W., when she taught herself to ride a two-wheeled bicycle at the end, nearly turning herself into one giant scab in the end, catching up with Arthur and his friends, and showing up the Tibble twins all in one was pretty impressive.

* ''Arthur's Big Hit''. Albeit, it was intended to be a KickTheDog moment. But, admit it. You thought that D.W. deserved to get hit.

** This also counts as Memetic Mutation thanks to good ol' Youtube.

* The show has many {{Very Special Episode}}s about things such as Cancer, 9/11, and Asperger's syndrome that are quite good both in logic and in execution.
** The Asperger's syndrome episode gives an analogy to what having Aspergers is like and is generally well done, even implying how it levels out when you get older and you become less....RainMan.

* Muffy's DreamSequence in ''Lights, Camera, Opera!'' in which Muffy, Binky, Francine, Prunella, George, Buster and [[InkSuitActor Rod]][[AsHimself ney]] [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Gilfry]] perform an {{Arthur}}-ized interpretation of Bizet's ''Carmen''. The characters sing ingeniously-plot-relevant lyrics to the famous melodies from ''Carmen''; Muffy's rendition of ''Habanera'' is particularly [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome awesome.]]

* ''Attack of the Turbo Tibbles'' has one of the Tibbles hit D.W. with a swing. Unlike the Big Hit example above, D.W. didn't deserve it and it felt more as a KickTheDog moment, but considering that D.W. is regarded as TheScrappy and how she usually gets away scot free in most episodes, this felt like LaserGuidedKarma. Not to mention that she was hit so hard that she had to get stitches. The Tibbles actually caused more damage onto her than what Arthur gave.

* "I'd Rather Read it Myself." D.W. spends an entire episode pretending to read to the Tibble twins. She weaves a shedload of ContinuityPorn into a compelling tale, leaving the boys in suspense the entire time. After borrowing the book, the boys are told that it's really about LeonardoDaVinci. D.W.'s gimmick stays intact, because they think that the book is different every time that it's read. It makes sense that they would think this way; they're four years old.
