"Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone" is the first segment of the first episode of the 22nd season of the animated edutainment television series Arthur. It was the first episode of Arthur to feature a same-sex wedding, a depiction that resulted in two PBS member stations in Arkansas and Alabama choosing not to air the episode's premiere on May 13, 2019. In the segment, Arthur and his friends mistakenly believe their teacher Mr. Ratburn is marrying a woman named Patty (voiced by guest star Jane Lynch) who will make him an even tougher educator, only to later learn that he is marrying a kind chocolatier named Patrick. "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone" received positive critical reviews and a nomination for the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Kids and Family Programming but garnered a negative response from the Christian fundamentalist website One Million Moms.
