I think this is my favorite D.W. episode. While she is still "D.W.", her motivation can be understood and she reaches all her goals. "I don't care if I'm 21 and I am one giant scab, I'm going to learn to this" is a probably one of the best lines D.W. ever said which makes me wonder how the writers managed to make a manipulative and spoiled brat a good role model for kids this episode.
I used to own a VHS tape of "Arthur" with this episode along with "Arthur's Cousin Catastrophe" and it's one of these home medias I am very fond of. Also, after hearing D.W. saying "Catch" then her laughing, I'm assuming that there was a deleted part where after Mr. Simple leaves, D.W. throws the cabbage at either Arthur or someone else, then something happens which triggers her laughter.
It sounds like Luke Reid, Brain's voice actor was absent too. It's kind of funny hearing the actors responding to lines that aren't being recorded here! It's interesting to hear how the same line would be said, in different ways, and which ones made the final cut.
Hello, Off Model. You may remember me from when I asked about the lost PBS Kids Vote-A-Rama event and the lost Arthur stage play. I haven't contacted Greg Bailey yet, as he hasn't posted anything on his UA-cam channel in about a year. Anyway, I was just watching the Arthur episode "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll", and I wanted to know the history and development behind that episode. Like, how did the people behind Arthur even get in touch with the Backstreet Boys? And why did they decide to have the Backstreet Boys in a show like Arthur of all places?
Hi, I'm not 100% sure how that came about but I think I remember hearing the Backstreet Boys contacted PBS about doing it for some reason...you'll have to ask Greg Bailey about that to confirm...if you leave a comment on Greg's UA-cam channel I'm sure he'll reply.
*reads title of video* Wait... Script by Marc Brown? Maybe I'm weird for being surprised by this because obviously I know Brown wrote the "Arthur" books that the TV show is based on so it makes sense for the "Arthur" staff to get his input on things like the writing. I know you mentioned being a storyboard artist in reply to my last comment on the "Grandma Thora Appreciation Day" video so I get that the writing on the show may not have been your area.. Still I can't help but fixate on this one detail about the episode. I know the show had hired writers like Joe Fallon, Peter Hirsch, and Ken Scarborough but "D.W Rides Again" is an episode I haven't seen for a long time or only seen in passing so I probably didn't notice Marc's name anywhere in the end credits as a script advisor or something like that which is why it was news to me that he apparently had an influence on the show but that's so cool. It must mean they tried their best to stay true to Marc's vision of the characters since he had some sort of influence on the writing, at least it seems on "D.W Rides Again"?
Yes, you're right...I probably should have just wrote Joe Fallon's name, but Marc Brown wrote the original book on which this episode was based so I included his name for that reason. I think Marc Brown would send notes on the scripts that the writers submitted and may have suggested storylines but, as you said, I wasn't involved with the scripts other than drawing the visuals to them.
I didn't see it but I heard it was weird...I guess they were trying to avoid from being seen as a Barbie clone because of the Mattel lawsuit a few years earlier.
Oh I see. Well at least Mattel went into the right direction of making Barbie Fashionistas. Which I've been collecting Barbie Fashionistas ever since I was a kid which is one of my most favorite Barbie lines!!!!!! 💖✨✨

Amen, Brother!
I've always really liked this episode as well. It's a really good lesson on hard work and not giving up.

And I Suppose Mark Camacho Was Unavailable That Day Too

Hi what is your thoughts on the 2015 Bratz reboot???
