Talk:Postcards from Buster

Merge Request

There's already a more developed Postcards From Buster (note the capital-F in "From") article published. Anthony Dean 02:43, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

The merge appears to have already happened. 70.19.82.240 23:08, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Three Final Listed Episodes

Can anyone verify the veracity of the following episodes:

1. "Let's Go Bowling!!!" (Fitchburg, Massachusetts)
2. "Buster's Birthday" (Dallas, Texas)
3. "Oktober Fest of the Tuba" (San Antonio, Texas)

As far as I can tell, this is just fanfic. There are more episodes known to be coming soon, but I can't verify these titles from any official source. Agent0042 19:38, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Pilot episode

Should the pilot episode get it's own article? It started the series. --68.98.129.158 (talk) 14:53, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Individual episodes are not notable enough for their own articles (except in the case of The Simpsons). The info on the pilot episode is already stated on List of Arthur episodes (season 8). trainfan01 talk 8:20, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Latino

i have never heard anyone in Texas being called Latino and i'm changing it to Hispanic. Tennis Dynamite 23:22, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

What an idiot. I live in Texas and I am Hispanic. Not only do I use the word Latino, but also many of the people I know use it regardless of being Hispanic/Latino. Don't listen to this person. He/she knows nothing.

Why only in the US?

In all episodes I have viewed, Buster never leaves the United States or its territories. Why is this so? I mean, we never see him go to France or China or anything, and in Arthur we see him in Rome, so why doesn't he actually go there? KFan II 22:47, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

There are episodes where he goes to Canada and Mexico, which aren't in the US.

Criticism

The criticism section is dead-on. I'm glad it was included because I thought I was going to have to add it.203.131.167.26 03:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately it doesn't cite any sources for criticism. Include links to some website & blogs at least. {{subst:unsigne70.19.82.240}}

No supporting citations given. This section will eventually be removed if sourcing is not found. --Markzero 04:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Looks like the section has been revised to include only sourced criticism. Good job. --Markzero 07:12, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Oops. I have revised the section heading to reflect the single subtopic remaining: controversial episodes. --Markzero 07:15, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

New Episodes?

Just recently, I've seen an episode where Buster goes to Hawaii, and the show ends with a "Postcard from You" segment at the end. I think it's a new one. --Addict 2006 18:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't have the bit at the end where Buster says he learned something from the city where he went to, unlike past episodes. (The one bit where the plane icon leaves but then suddenly stops and turns back toward the city.) --Addict 2006 18:05, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Banned?

Were the episodes "Lowriders" and "Sugartime!" Banned Episodes?-User:Kongsaurus12.

They weren't actually banned. But few stations went and acquired the "Sugartime!" episode, which was edited out of the teacher's guide. If there is interest, I'll post a list of the stations that I know stood up and showed it at least once. --Markzero 04:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Season 3

I am putting these here for when they actually are official; in the meantime, they do not belong in the article. The only source I can find for these episodes are WP mirrors--obviously that doesn't work.

Season 3 (TBA)

1. The Rocky Roads of Oklahoma (Tulsa, Oklahoma) (TBA)
2. Thats So Reno (Reno, Nevada) (TBA)
3. What Chocolate Can Do (Hershey, Pennsylvania) (TBA)
4. Buster and the Minutemen (Lexington, Massachusetts) (TBA)
5. The Inferno Glacier (Juneau, Alaska)
6. Boise Wonder (Boise, Idaho)
7. Rouge Lover (Baton Rouge, Louisiana)

When those appear at PBSKids.com or another WP:VER source, then we can put them back in. Otherwise they're just crystal-ballery. Gladys J Cortez 22:24, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

An episode is airing as I type called "Ciao Buster" that seemed pretty new (new voices and animation, etc). They went to venice. And there was a very big allusion to Wiis. Arthur and Buster were playing it at the beginning and it was the same make. Mew Mitsuki (talk) 21:11, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

What happened to the season 3 episodes on this page? There were 3 confirmed episodes in Venice, Egypt, and Beijing.Angiex3-2 (talk) 22:37, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Lowriders

Examination of the source and brief searching of the wider internet shows nothing about that episode and gangs specifically, so I removed that part. If anyone has better sources, feel free to add back the info (but maybe under the Controversy section? I'm not sure.)

Link to wrong actor

The link to Robert Naylor should be to Robert Naylor (actor) and not the one being linked currently. I was not sure how to modify it on the page? Winniep32 (talk) 12:04, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Why did the series get removed from there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.112.215 (talk) 00:47, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

VANDALISM!

People have put random actors and some American actors the show is Canadian and used the Season 8 voice cast of Arthur for Season 1 70.249.220.6 (talk) 00:35, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Cast

Why are American actors like Helena Bonham Carter, Janice Kawaye and Lacey Chabert in the cast? I believe the show uses the Seasons 9-12 voice cast of Arthur

Same sex family story lines avoided in Arthur because of Sugartime incident?

Since I stopped watching Arthur as a kid in the late 90's I wanted to see how the show had progressed into the 21st century. I was impressed at the range of modern issues the show appeared to be covering such as Autism. I was very disappointed to find out that the show had not yet covered same sex families. I can definitely see the child of a same sex family being added as a minor character on the show. Perplexed about why they had skipped over this while covering most other modern topics I stumbled upon the Sugartime episode incident. Now I am wondering if the network and or the shows producers are avoiding the topic of same sex families in fear of producing another controversy. What do you think?

Split proposed

I believe that the "Sugartime!" controversy section should be split off to a dedicated article on the episode. The section takes up a majority of the article and has WP:SUSTAINED coverage. (Oinkers42) (talk) 20:50, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Agree based on above, it has enough coverage and context to stand on its own. HighlandFacts (talk) 02:54, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Support. There's way more info about the episode than the show overall. Splitting can also give potential expansion of further info from these same sources. Carlinal (talk) 04:15, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
