EP3 Buster's Baseball Merengue (Dominican Republic) Dec 11, 2006

When Buster learns that Damon and Bateria, two of his favorite players on the Elwood City Grebes, have been traded, he's shocked. Having learned a hard lesson that sometimes players that were thought to be loyal will go elsewhere for more money, he scouts the Dominican Republic at Harry's urging for new talent. Los Viajeros happened to be going on a trip there. He stays at the house of Patrizia and her daughter Patty, who he learns is a concert pianist and also talented at soccer. With her assitance, Buster helps Los Viajeros to develop an album of merengue music (a style native to the Dominican Republic) while also meeting up with a new friend to watch baseball. He discovers some amazing local talent and also finds someone he never expected --- a player from the Elwood City Grebes!

Synopsis

Postcards from Buster is a children's television series for children aged 6–12, containing both animation and live-action that originally aired on Public Broadcasting Service. It is a spin-off of the Arthur cartoon series. The show stars Arthur's best friend, 8-year-old rabbit Buster Baxter. Inspired by a 2003 episode of Arthur entitled "Postcards from Buster", the television series was produced by Cinar and Marc Brown Studios. It first aired October 11, 2004, on PBS Kids Go!. Buster's interests include eating anything, reading comic books, and playing video games. Buster's personality is that of a fairly intelligent and curious child. He also believes that extraterrestrials are real. Buster's parents are divorced; in this series, Buster is seen with his father, Bo Baxter. Arthur Read and many other characters from the PBS Kids Go! animated television series Arthur make cameo appearances in this series, and most episodes have an Arthur character playing a minor role. The series went through a hiatus between November 2008 and February 2012.

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
TheCartoonfaxuator Postcards from buster is a spin off cartoon of the very well-known cartoon series Arthur. The show was shown during the time Buster went on a long vacation with his dad. I must say Buster must have been having a good time, but for the viewer I'm for sure wasn't. Postcards from Buster is the most boring cartoon PBS has ever made. The main reason is because the show points to kids of the age of 8 to 12, but the thing is that only adults understand the show. It's just too boring to entertain and educate a kid about the world. What I'm about to say may sound like an exaggeration, but trust me it's a fact. The first time I watched this show I was forced by my mother, and after I watched it, I told my sister it was the most boring thing I have ever watched. At first she thought I was complaining because I had to watch it, then I told her to watch it with me the next day, and she agreed. Really quick fact, I was only 9 when I saw this and my sister was 15. just wanted to let you know. So the two of us watched the next day, and within the first three minutes, we agreed that this was a horribly boring show. With my sister's help we were able to convince my mother to spare me from watching Postcards from Buster ever again. Word to the wise, just because there is something on the TV that can entertain and educate a kid doesn't mean it's doing the right job.
pyro_girl_bl I can't get enough of the show & I'm almost 18 yrs. old, so you can't say it's just for kids. I'm totally obsessed with Carlos & Mora. They are so awesome!! I know it's kind of odd, but, it makes me happy! The only thing I have to complain about is that there's not enough of Carlos & Mora in the show (well, not enough for me anyway. Although, maybe there will never be enough for me). They are so cool & so cute together, such a cute couple! I love how he'll walk with his arm around her & all that kind of stuff! My 11 yr.old sister laughed at me for liking this show, but now it's growing on her, too. It has a lot of educational stuff to it, but the main reason I watch it is for Carlos & Mora. Their songs are also very catchy. I could go on & on about Carlos & Mora all day... I even taped some of the songs & got Postcards From Buster DVDs.
mpcohen I do not know how well this show goes over with its intended audience, but as an adult I am impressed by how it is put together. The premise of the show is of an animated rabbit traveling around the world with his father getting to know children and their families and taking videos. I do not know how much of the show is scripted, but it comes across as being a spontaneous interaction of the people being filmed with Buster and with one another. Sort of like a cross between a travelogue and reality TV for kids, with everyone being nice to one another.One small thing that I find disconcerting is that while Buster is more or less given the face of a rabbit, the rest of his family look like humans with rabbit ears appended.
MichaelaTrutt Love it, love it, love it. Ahem, or rather I love a certain person, whom wears a *very* fashionable outfit of red and black.... (no comment). It is very informative, I love the songs, and everything Pbs does, anything Marc Brown does, anything with Elyzabeth Diaga or (especially) Norman Groulx and Marcel Jeanin in it, is perfectly genius. I don't know what else to say, this humorous, slightly...gay, creative show shows Americans at their best (which is an honorable feat, since America doesn't seem to have a best lately)and inspires children of all ages-take me I'm 20- to do their best. The website is wittily handled, and is very helpful for parents, and fun for children. If you ask any one of my friends, you'll know I'm extremely obsessed, and won't shut up about... ahem. If the red/black thing didn't give you a hint, here's another: Married to a blue shirt/black mini that barely covers her.....Anyways, PFB is a funny, cute, *hot*, show that should help kids with geography, culture, and corny jokes. Warning!: If your child starts walking around singing, thank Carlos (ahem) and Mora. However, do not be alarmed, because your children WILL pass the history sol's and will know their way around New York.
