Arthur (tv series)

Post Reply New Topic

I grew up on the adventures of Arthur the aardvark. it wasn't until i was 14 that me and my siblings watched it religiously. By that age i could understand all the inside jokes and references that younger kids could not possibly get. Arthur is truly a cartoon that both kids and grown-ups can enjoy.

Sadly it seems alot of people feel the show has jumped the shark, most fingers point to the talking Kate and Pal episodes (which i strongly agree). The many voice acting changes over time and the need to "modernize" the show (there are many more references to cell phones and other trendy devices).

Regardless i still enjoy the show and will continue to watch it as it is currently airing it 16th season, although i hear a 17th season is planned.

Is anyone else fond of Arthur?

Does it bother anyone else that the characters stay the same age throughout the series? It sure as hell bothers me

"Francine's Not a Monkey because she doesn't have a dick"

Ha ha ha if anyone knows what this is a reference to than that would be excitingly impressive

I remember watching this when I was younger.

The Crazy Bus song! D.W. and spinach!

I used to watch Arthur as a kid on children's programmes after school, and I go through phases of watching it as an adult on Youtube.

DW reminds me of me when I was a little girl as a sister of an older brother! And George reminds me of the shy me who was quiet in class and struggled with my work (although I wasn't dyslexic). I wasn't a bit like Carl. He seems more like a classic autistic to me.

I don't
