Long overdue.
If the show continues on, maybe the move will prompt some fresh changes/storylines.
I'm not convinced they are moving on to the 4th grade, the episode about them finishing grade 3 was just an episode with no significants. The season that just started still has them in grade 3.
shareIf they continue the show (which we still don't know at this point), I'd be very interested in seeing the new storylines, as well as D.W. and the other kids now being students in Arthur's school. SO many opportunities there.

It's actually really funny you mentioned that about Mr. Raburn because I'm actually watching "Boy Meets World" right now 😉 My guess is that they'll end up pulling a "Boy Meets World" in another way by promoting Mr. Ratburn to school principal, especially with Mr. Haney's voice actor's death. Sure, it'd be a worn out concept by all of us older viewers, but it's the perfect set-up for the writers.

Yeah, I was a little surprised by that as well. The only episode that ever dealt with any sort of death was "So Long, Spankey" for D.W.'s bird we as viewers only briefly met. A lot of kids' shows are afraid to "go there" when it comes to deaths of characters that have become very familiar to everyone.

Arthur has never done the death of a character before. I think if done right, it could be a good episode that will also be a send off to Mr. Haney's voice actor.
And Mr. Ratburn will most likely be their fourth grade teacher or still in the show in some way. You can't get rid of Mr. Ratburn. Who else will barge into classrooms asking for cake?
Don't you hate it when horror movie posters are scarier than the movie itself?

Can't believe it took them forever. They were only in the second grade for a few of the early episodes (or seasons? I forget).

The show started with them either going into the 3rd grade or just leaving 2nd. There was never really an episode with them in the 2nd grade, basically just flashbacks like an episode when Francine reminded Muffy of her lying in the 2nd grade.
The way this show is now, I find it hard that Arthur is still only in the 3rd grade. Their mentality has never been of 3rd graders more like junior high school. But like most animated shows, the characters never really grow up. Look at Bart and Lisa Simpson, they have been kids for 25 years.

Wrong. Most of Season 1 was them in 2nd grade.
shareNo, they were already in third grade, for the most part.
shareI think you need to watch the very early episode again, bruh.

NO eposide of Arthur was every set in Gr.2. We only had TWO episode flashbacks only that had Arthur and co in Gr. 2. The one about Arthur's glasses and Muffy being new and lying about math.
