On The Air: Arthur (1996)

Marc Brown's Arthur has become a fixture on PBS for nearly 20 years, merrily rolling along as the series, and the books they're based on, teach kids plenty of life lessons.

I haven't watched enough of the show to form an opinion, so there's no rating. On the other hand, since school is out for the year, let's take a look at the intro:



Arthur did produce a spin-off, Postcards From Buster, which ran into a bit of controversy 10 years ago. We'll discuss that another time.

When my niece was little we used to watch Arthur together. I always hated his sister with a passion! She caused all sort of destructive mayhem (often ruining her brother's science project or other personal possession) and was NEVER punished for it! I actually felt bad for Arthur!

Some kids are priveleged, if but because parents don't know the whole story......

Can’t believe PBS is cancelling this show after the 25th season. How could PBS sell their soul to Satan to commit this horrible crime against humanity? The only cash cow show that deserves to die a horrible death is TTG.

This might've been a mutual decision between PBS, the producers, and Marc Brown.
