List of Title Cards

Every episode of Arthur has an intertitle which displays the title, the name(s) of the writer and storyboard editor, and a short animation encompassed within a center circle. With the exception of early episodes, the title is read aloud by either Binky, Buster, Francine, or Muffy. After Season 1, the typeface for episode titles was modified. The titles names were enlarged starting with Season 10. Starting with Season 14, the center circle now features a scene from each episode.
