Marc Brown, the cartoon’s creator, is from my area, and he came to my elementary school when Arthur was first big. He had a big easel and a giant sketch pad and he just showed us how he drew Arthur, and I think I remember we created a fictional animal by calling out different animal body parts and he would illustrate what we envisioned. I don’t think I watched it much, I was more into He-Man and G. I. Joe at that time, I think. End of an era, either way.

I was 33 when Arthur debuted. I didn't even know he was an aardvark until yesterday.

While I never watched the show, I did notice that they had characters who obviously were of different races and I thought that was good.

However, I am a Blues Clues man. Give me Steve, Joe, Blue, etc before Arthur anyday.

Arthur and the Teletubbies were the only kids tv shows I ever watched after 18, I have no idea why they would delete such an amazing program on tv.

My grown son was a big fan. I watched on occasion. It was a pretty good 'toon. 1000% better than Barney and Friends. Ugh. I liked Spongebob and Elmo, also.

Really? Damn that was my show back in the 2000s! It was kind of weird for a kids show. A kids show that made references to adult shows like South Park and Beavis & Butthead! Lol I loved it.

The guy that invented Arthur lived near me. When my kids were little he used to read read to the kids at the library dressed up like a giant aardvrk.

I watched it when I was a kid but I really hated D. W, she was very annoying.

OddBeMe · Answer

Can’t beleive it. It’s all the kids talk about. Will Arthur learn his his true identity, sleep with the queen of dragons and inherit the throne?

I wish PBS would get canceled. They just indoctrinate the children. That is why all the 30 and unders here are so stupid.
