[edit] 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)


[edit] 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)

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Postcardsbuster.gif

Image:Postcardsbuster.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)
