Regarding the April 20, 2009 Season 12 Arthur episode "The Cherry Tree/Matchmaker, Match Breaker":
The Cherry Tree:
* I like Arthur's opening "Hi tree, how's it going?" Even Francine's cat Nemo is in the tree that soon vanishes when Arthur talks about live without trees.
* Muffy's chaffuer Bailey has speaking parts (Of course we know it is done by Bruce "Binky and Arthur's Dad" Dinsmore, who isn't in the Season 12 Arthur voice credts!)
* Ed Crosswire (Muffy's father) has speaking parts in the episode as well, but though his voice - still A.J. Henderson? - isn't in the Season 12 Arthur voice credits.
* And this is the first of few episodes where George has speaking parts! George is now voiced by Samantha Reynolds.
* Did Muffy and Ed Crosswire remake a part seen in the Season 9 Arthur episode "George Blows Hit Top".
* I like George's speech about trees and the carbon dioxide/oxygen situation.
* A NEW CHARACTER: Antione - The Crosswire's next door neighbor.
* Muffy was sad to see her cherry tree cut down, but with the little branches new ones can grow and Ed Crosswire can make homemade cherry jam again!
POSTCARDS FROM YOU SEGMENT: A family in Vermont (no, not the family from the controversial Postcards from Buster "Sugartime" episode, a different family) shows how maple syrup comes out of their Vermont trees.
Matchmaker, Match Breaker:
* This is the first ever appearance of Muffy's teenage brother Chip! Chip calls Muffy "Muffler". He even has a PORTALEX cell phone like Muffy owns and what Fern once owned (so does Catherine!)
* Notice the spoofs of the 1970's comedy series Laverne and Shirley with Francine and Muffy in it? They were spoofing the L&S episode where the girls try to keep a horse in their apartment.
* LEAF BLOWER 4 is a movie takeoff of the SAW movies.
* Notice a cameo appearance of one of Catherine's friends Angie from the Season 5 "Muiffy Gets Mature" episode?
* Why would Francine and Muffy wear shades at Chicken Licken?
* I guess Chip and Catherine as well as Francine and Muffy will be friends rather than siblings.
NEXT EPISODE tomorrow on April 21, 2009: "War of the Worms/I Owe You One"
