Ep 2. Arthur Sells Out / Mind Your Manners

Arthur season 11 episode 2, titled "Arthur Sells Out/Mind Your Manners," features two different but equally entertaining storylines.

In the first segment, "Arthur Sells Out," Arthur and his friends are excited about a new video game called "Top Super Battle Game 2." To their disappointment, they learn that the game is only available for a new handheld device called the WowPad, which costs a lot of money. Desperate to get their hands on the game, Arthur comes up with the idea of selling homemade "What Would Binky Do?" bracelets to raise money. However, Arthur soon realizes that selling out like this might not be worth it after all.

In the second segment, "Mind Your Manners," the focus is on proper etiquette. Francine and the Brain are chosen to host a monthly show at their school called "Manners Minutes." They are tasked with teaching their fellow students about manners and proper behavior. However, their interpretations and approaches to what constitutes proper manners and behavior couldn't be more different. As the two debate and teach various manners, they learn that there is no one definition of proper behavior that works for everyone.

Both segments in this episode tie in themes of friendship and learning important life lessons. The first segment explores the idea of selling out for personal gain and how that can potentially damage relationships with friends. The second segment highlights the importance of being respectful and polite to others, regardless of their background or personalities. Overall, "Arthur Sells Out/Mind Your Manners" is a fun and educational episode for all ages.
