User:Arthur Read fan



Hi, everyone! I'm Arthur Read fan, and (as you probably guessed,) I'm a big fan of Arthur!

I'm an Arthur Wiki Rollback, so I like to help out on here often (In fact, I contribute every day on here). I also have high-functioning Autism (NOT Asperger's Syndrom, just high-functioning Autism).

In the 2019 Arthur Marathon, I voted for "Arthur's Baby / D.W.'s Baby", "April 9th", and "Fountain Abbey / Arthur Calls It". These episodes ranked number 1, number 10, and number 15 in the marathon, respectively.

I like to write Arthur episode plot descriptions. You can read them here if you're interested. On top of that, I also like to write Arthur Fanfictions (You can see which ones I have written below).

Thanks for viewing my profile, and have a wonderful kind of day!

My favourite Arthur characters




Arthur Read is by far my all-time favourite Arthur character (hence my username, Arthur Read fan), even though he has some flaws and obviously isn't perfect.

Besides the fact that he's the main character, here are some reasons why I like Arthur Read:

1. He is usually kind and friendly to just about everyone, even to DW deep down inside (one big example of this is in the episode "Operation: DW!").

2. He has a really cool made-up superhero identity, Supernova, who first appeared in the episode "The Secret Origin of Supernova" (I'd really like to see Supernova again in the future).

3. Just like Arthur, I wear glasses in real life (not kidding)!





Ladonna Compson is my very close second-favourite character on Arthur, and she's also my favourite female character, even though she wasn't in Elwood City for very long (since she and her family moved to Oregon in "When Duty Calls").

Here are some reasons why I like Ladonna:

1. I like that she's very nice and friendly.

2. I also like how she's usually happy and positive.

3. I also think she has a really nice voice, especially when she sings (like the time she sings 'Alice Blue Gown' in "Messy Dress Mess").





Hmm... Who is my third-favourite character on Arthur? Is it Alan "Brain" Powers, or is it Buster Baxter? The answer is yes! Brain and Buster are BOTH my third-favourite characters, although sometimes I like Brain more than Buster, and vice versa, depending on the episode.

Here are some reasons why I like both Brain and Buster:

1. I like that Brain is very smart and intelligent, and can be sarcastic sometimes.

2. Buster is very funny, and I like how his fantasies can be hilarious (such as his story idea in "The Contest", "The Day the Earth Was Saved").

3. Though their personalities are different, Brain and Buster are both friends (one example is in the episode "On the Buster Scale").

My favourite [[File:Francine's Tough Day Arthur head 2.png]] episodes from each season
NOTE: Under Construction. (Please note that my opinions may be subject to change.)

1: Arthur's New Year's Eve. I really like this episode. It has better animation compared to most of Season 1, it has a really nice ending, and I also think that it's a really satisfying conclusion to Arthur's first season.

2: Finders Key-pers. What do you get when you add together Arthur, Binky, Brain, and a missing key? A very hilarious episode.


 * Buster Baxter, Cat Saver. This episode is funny, has a good plotline, and even has some meta references. My favourite part of the episode is when Buster says to the viewers (in his imaginary "Cat Saver" TV show): "Remember kids: Hitting and punching people is wrong. But this is no person; IT'S A HAM!"

3: Arthur's Almost Live Not Real Music Festival. This episode is one of the best in my opinion, and it features some really cool songs! My favourite songs featured in this episode are "Jekyll and Hyde" and "Library Card". (By the way, who's Dewey?)

4: The Contest. I really like how many series they parody, and the different animation styles that go with them. Buster's story is my favourite. Also, Andy and Company (which is later renamed "Alfred" in Season 16's "Baby Steps") is hilarious.

5: You Are Arthur. We get to see from Arthur's perspective for most of the episode. Adding to this episode's credit, there's a lot of funny moments, and there's even a couple of fourth-wall breaks.

6: Rhyme for Your Life. This may very well be the best episode of Arthur. It's really funny!

7: Waiting to Go has some very funny moments, such as "Kelp", the cranberries on the juice box, and the point when they realize they've only been waiting for 15 minutes, the latter of which would become the main plot for another episode.


 * The World of Tomorrow. Like Waiting to Go, this is another outstanding episode from Season 7. I like Binky's dream involving him and Thruster (Buster), and Binky's dread about going somewhere he doesn't want to go is very relatable to me.

Season 8: Desk Wars. This episode has a lot of tension that gradually builds up over time (just like the heat in Mr. Ratburn's classroom), and it results in a very comedic montage of chain reactions. I also like how everyone ends up working together to clean up the mess they made in the end.


 * Desperately Seeking Stanley. This is a really underrated episode. Poor Arthur. He feels really bad for having given his teddy bear, Stanley, to Vicita (who calls the latter 'Chico'). When he finds out that Vicita traded Stanley/Chico to the Tibbles, Arthur gets really worried. However, it turns out that Grandma Tibble fixed Stanley up, and he looks better than he ever has. This episode has a really nice ending, but I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it!

Season 9: Breezy Listening Blues. The part I really like best about this episode is when Brain has his fantasy about the 'Swelwood City Mall' while listening to 'Breezy Listening'. Bookazine, anyone?

Season 10: Happy Anniversary. Season 10 kicked off with an excellent episode. It's one of my all-time favourites. There are a lot of "hidden 10s" in the episode; I've found every single one. The episode has a very nice ending, and it's also funny how DW correctly guesses that Bionic Bunny and Dark Bunny are actually brothers, despite having not seen it.


 * Operation: DW!. This is a hidden gem in Season 10 (partially because PBS Kids hardly ever airs this episode for whatever reason). I like that Arthur is really nice to DW in this episode (which I wish we could see more of), and I also like that he shows her compassion.

Season 11: The Making of Arthur. Another really funny episode of Arthur that sort of reminds me of "The Contest". Each video is pretty funny (especially George's 'This Old Dollhouse'), and the episode has lots of meta references. I especially like the ending, which hilariously creates a paradox.

Season 12: On This Spot. Some people may think that this episode is boring, but I think it's great. We get to learn a lot about early Elwood City history in this one, and Buster's 'Derek Montaigne Tour' is pretty funny (He even mentions Matt Damon and Mister Rogers).

Season 13: The Secret Origin of Supernova. One of my all-time favourites. The superhero references abound in this episode, and so does the humour. I think it's pretty funny how Dark Bunny is weak without his 'DB Might-a-max Energy Drink', and Arthur's superhero idea, Supernova, is awesome. I want to see Supernova again, but I sadly don't think they will. But you never know...


 * When Carl Met George (Also known as George and the Missing Puzzle Piece). This episode is funny, but also nice. Being someone who has High-Functioning Autism, I can relate to how Carl feels about some things (No, I don't have a fear of dummies, in case if that's what you're wondering).

Season 14: Around the World in 11 Minutes. The intro is funny, especially with how Arthur smiles at the viewers like that. The episode itself is also great, with how Kate, Pal, and company use their imaginations to travel around the world. A great episode overall.

Season 15: Fifteen. This is one of the best full-length episodes of Arthur in my opinion. Everyone plays a role in a race against the clock, taking humour with it along the way. From the radio show, to the Red Claw, to Arthur's Michaelangelo report, I think it's a must-watch for any Arthur fan.


 * Through the Looking Glasses. Well, I always say, "This is another great episode of Season 15". (Really, I do think that.) There are times when being out-of-character isn't funny (like in "So Funny I Forgot to Laugh"), but there are times when it CAN be funny, like in this episode.

Season 16:  On the Buster Scale. This episode has a great lesson, that not everyone is going to agree with your opinions, and it's also really funny how Buster and Brain's opinions always seem to change Francine, Muffy, and Binky's opinions. It's a really good episode, and it's one I think about a lot in life. On the Buster Scale (or rather, the Arthur Read fan Scale), a 10+!


 * Based on a True Story. This episode not only debuts the Compson family, but it also debuts my second-favourite character on the show: Ladonna!

Season 17: Brain Freeze. I wish Yumbobo was a real ice cream chain, because I would totally go there, although I can understand how Brain feels about the place, fearing that his family's ice cream shop may go out of business because of Yumbobo. It's a well-structured, nicely done, and really funny episode, even if Puk-Puk (Yumbobo's Penguin mascot) is anatomically incorrect.


 * Molina's Mulligan. This is an episode that very few people seem to talk about. Why? (Rhetorical question.) It's got a good storyline, a great lesson, and it's also about golfing, which I like.

Season 18: Staycation. Overrated? Perhaps. Stupid? Kind of. Funny? Totally. For some reason, I just really like this episode. The only thing I don't like about it is the part when the lights flicker in the house, as I think it could possibly give some people epilepsy. But other than that, it's a really funny episode.


 * Messy Dress Mess. This episode is the epitome of underrated Arthur episodes. It's one of my absolute favourites, and it features Ladonna, my second-favourite character on the show, at her best.

Season 19: The Last Day. In no other time in Arthur so far have they ever gotten this close to a series finale, and they may never again. It has some good songs, a great storyline, and I think that it would've been the perfect series finale.


 * Arthur's Toy Trouble. It has a good plotline, a great lesson, and it's got some funny moments. It even has a meta reference in the intro.

Season 20: Buster's Second Chance. This episode was actually not that bad. It's pretty funny, especially the at the parts with younger Buster.

Season 21: The Master Builders. By far, this is one of the most interesting episodes of Arthur, especially with the 3D printers. That part was pretty cool. What's also cool about this episode is that we get to see Fritz again. A pretty underrated episode in my opinion.

Season 22: Truth or Poll. A very funny and creative episode. I like all of the different polls that Binky and Brain come up with (which have hilarious results)!

Season 23: When Duty Calls. This episode made me sad the first time I watched it, since it writes out one of my all-time favourite characters, Ladonna. But after seeing it a second time, I now think that it's the best one of the season.

My least favorite [[File:Francine's Tough Day Arthur head 1.png]] episodes from each season
NOTE: Under Construction. (Please note that my opinions may be subject to change.)

1: Arthur Goes to Camp. This episode isn't funny, has a terrible plot, and is just plain pointless.

2: DW, the Picky Eater. Again, a terrible plot. I can see why so many people hate this one.


 * Arthur's Underwear. Seriously, ripping your pants ISN'T funny. Arthur's fears about losing his pants are also unrealistic, since his family would notice if he didn't have pants on before going to school.

3: Revenge of the Chip. I don't really like how inconsiderate Mrs. Read is towards DW. At least Binky cares about how DW feels.

4: Most of Season 4 isn't that great. But if I had to pick a least favourite from the season, it would have to be The Fright Stuff. It's stupid and unmemorable.

5: Muffy Gets Mature. I don't really know what to say about this episode, other than the fact that I don't like it at all.

6: Brother, Can You Spare a Clarinet?. It's super forgettable, so much to the point where I actually forget it exists. Do you remember it exists?

7: Prunella Sees the Light. Some Prunella episodes, such as "Prunella and the Haunted Locker" or "Prunella the Packrat", are good. Others, like this one, are not good at all. To boot, this is also the first episode in which Arthur, my favourite character, does not appear, which isn't a good thing in my opinion.
