So glad that someone finally made a documentary about Arthur. It is one of the most monumental children shows of all time and will live forever. It really is a shame there isn't more about this stuff and it's basically all compilation videos and "savage moments." Which is cool and all but it's just not this.

Well like a lot of shows, the reason we don't see much episodes on KZbin is because of copyright. 10 years ago, there was hundreds of Arthur episodes on KZbin, no ads, great audio, clear picture, and it was the full episodes too. Nowadays, you can still find some, but not all.

[@joeybaseball7352]

Arthur was an outstanding show. It never got the hype franchises like Rugrats or SpongeBob SquarePants got. But that worked in it's favor, as it was a slow burn, that flew under the radar. Arthur is one of those IPs that you don't realize just how successful it was until you see it's brag sheet on paper, and you're like "holy shit!" A book series, a cartoon series, movies, video games, toys, DVDs, etc. There's even Arthur cookies. Arthur cookies! It was (and still is) a media empire.

Hard to believe it’s been on 25 years, I remember in 1997 my 8th grade English and and homeroom teacher loved the show, so sometimes we’d watch episodes in class rather than book work.

Came here because the show finally ended its run recently. SPOILER: The show ends with a grown up Arthur Read, now a author of a autobiographical graphic novel, previewing his book to his friends. First chapter actually explaining the very first episode. Meta but nice ending. (The original voice actor came back to reprise his role as Arthur in the finale.) I use to watch this everyday as a kid. Even though I'll miss it, I'm glad it ended on a good note as it didn't overstay its welcome like what the Simpsons is doing. EDIT: It is also so far the ONLY PBS KIDS show to have a conclusive ending. Most shows end abruptly because of having enough episode to have reruns last for years or low ratings.

Only time I would catch Arthur was late at night on the kids channel. Was very nostalgic to watch old reruns, and was happy to see a few years ago that the christmas special was still played. I'll miss the show. But so happy that the KZbin trend is going towards highlighting the amazingly humorous PBS kids cartoons like Arthur, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Martha Speaks, Word Girl, and hopefully others.
