Alfred (TV series)

Alfred (formerly known as Andy and Company) is a TV show that is an inside parody of Arthur itself.

Andy is not actually a mouse; it is unknown what animal he is. Andy lives with his family in a mushroom house. His sister is constantly pestering him, and he always calls his mother instead of solving the problem himself. Andy also has a pet dog.

It first appeared in "The Contest", where Andy hosted a contest for kids to write their own story ideas and send them in to the show. It would take the show 5 years to announce the winner.

It later appears briefly in "Baby Steps", where Arthur and Binky watch it until Mei-Lin distracts them with the piano. In this appearance, it is renamed Alfred and Alfred and his sister's clothes resemble Arthur and D.W.'s clothes.

Trivia

 * Andy's sister's glasses, nose, and moustache are proven fake when she is seen without them in "Baby Steps".
 * The outfits worn by the characters are identical to clothing worn on The Little Lulu Show. The sister's dress, for example, is the same kind worn by Lulu herself. Additionally, The Little Lulu Show was produced by CINAR, just as Arthur originally was.
