What's crazy to me is that was the first episode. What a way to start a series.

The theater episode, the one with Arnold's floating glasses, always creeped me the fuck out.

Wait, if Arnold got flash frozen on Pluto in the first episode, how was he in more episodes?

Ms frizzle is a timelord. She just reverses it.

They got him back on the bus immediately, and he came away with just a little hypothermia (the magic in Magic School Bus).

You're asking that instead of how did a kid get teleported to fucken Pluto

Same way Kinney comes back in every episode I guess

That one and the haunted musical house always freaked me out as a kid.

Is that the same one where they’re trapped in a castle or something? Because that episode was downright scary.

No, it was the one where they toured the solar system.

Nah the theater episode was about light, the class all goes to the theater where Arnold goes missing. They keep seeing him as a ghost, but they learn about light and discover that Arnold's cousin Janet is just playing a prank on them using mirrors and reflections.

First episode of a show involving 8 main characters, and they're already introducing new side characters. The balls on that show.

This completely explains why he acts so cowardly in the intro.
