TV Review: Postcards from Buster
Postcards from Buster is a spin-off from Arthur. The show features Arthur’s friend Buster traveling with his father, who is a pilot for a band that is on tour. The show is basically about Buster making video postcards about his travels that he sends back to Arthur and friends. The show is part animation and part live action.
In the show Buster meets kids in the local place he is and goes on different adventures that usually involve learning about local things. It is usually a pretty interesting show and it shows kids of a variety of backgrounds going about their lives. The show tends to show how the life of the kids are different from Buster’s while also pointing out things that make them similar.
In the first two seasons Buster traveled around the US and the episodes show him meeting kids in the local places. I have seen a lot of these episodes and I have yet to see a bad one. The new season started this month and features Buster going to international destinations. I imagine these new episodes are even more interesting if not way better than the first two seasons, however, I have not been able to see them. My local listings showed the new episodes playing several times, but then as the day approached the listings changed and the new season has yet to air on my local station. I have a feeling this show is continuing to be banned from some stations due to the controversies that contributed to the third season taking so long to come along. Please share if you have been able to see the new season.
