Arthur

There seems to be absolutely no love for the animated TV show called Arthur on here. So, I decided to make a thread just for the show!

 

Yesterday, a Season 4 episode was on and today, it's a Season 5.

Hm... I sense a pattern here.

 

Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card!

 

Love it! Ziggy Marley sings the theme (at least in the 90s and early 00s when I was watching with my kids)

 

Have you seen the video with Stephen Colbert and Chance The Rapper? Ziggy himself is also in it.

 

I think it's a great show. My kids watched it all the time when they were little. It wasn't afraid to tackle "sensitive" subjects that are pretty commonplace now but were not 15 years ago.

They also liked "Postcards from Buster," which had another great theme song from Wyclef Jean:

 

Arguably the most talked about moment on the show.

 

I did - but, unsurprisingly as a member of this somewhat reactionary forum, I prefer the original!!

 

Wyclef Jean did a theme song besides PFB?

 

No, I mean it's another great theme song (like the Arthur one), and Wyclef Jean did it. It's funny; I was going to put a comma in that sentence because I thought it might be misread that way!

 

I thought for a minute you meant this one:



But, yeah, I like the other one and my daughter loves it.

 

We never watched the show, but we had a lot of Arthur books that we read to our kids growing up.

John K.

 

Nope. That’s not the cartoon.

 

Give the show a try.

 

Could the show be done once and for all?

The End?

 

It had a good run. It's time for the cast and crew to move on to other stuff.

Also, the first three seasons (basically the first 65 episodes) were the best. Nothing the show did after that will ever top those.

 

Singing "if you get caught between the moon and New York City"... Whoops wrong Arthur!

When I first read the title to the thread I thought about the song by Christopher Cross. As for the cartoon, haven't seen it in ages but used to watch it all the time with my kids. We still have some of the DVDs. Need to revisit it sometime.

 

Havent seen this in years

When I was younger I would get out of school and watch the 3:30 episode of Arthur on PBS

Damn... memories are coming back

 

I should’ve changed it to Arthur on PBS.

 

I;m not sure when I stopped watchign Arthur

I wanna say season 6?

I just grew up
