Every episode of ''[[Arthur (TV series)|Arthur]]'' has a '''title card''' which displays the title, the name(s) of the writer and storyboard artist, and a short animation encompassed within a center circle. Season 1 originally used six different title cards, but later seasons introduced more. With the exception of early versions of [[Season 1]] episodes, the title is spoken aloud by either [[Binky Barnes|Binky]], [[Buster Baxter|Buster]], [[Francine Frensky|Francine]], [[D.W. Read|D.W.]], [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]], [[Alan Powers|Brain]], [[George Lundgren|George]], [[Sue Ellen Armstrong|Sue Ellen]], [[Ladonna Compson|Ladonna]], and [[Arthur Read|Arthur]]. The title card occurs 0:40 - 2:15 minutes into the episode. After Season 1, the typeface for episode titles was modified and have double-story lowercase "a"'s instead of single-story ones. The title names were enlarged starting with [[Season 10]]. The title cards were replaced with a scene from the episode, making them all unique, starting with [[Season 16]] in the United States and [[Season 14]] internationally. | |||
In the following list, each title card has a list of episodes that use it. The name in parentheses is the character who reads the title aloud. | |||

Sonar | The center circle is full of water. We see fish swim by, followed by [[Pal]], followed by [[Arthur Read|Arthur]]. He says "Hi!", but sometimes he will say something else like "Yay!". Sonar sounds are audible in the background. | ||
This title card is usually used in episodes in which Arthur is the central character (or Pal, in early episodes). The first title card made for the series, it was the first out of the original six title cards to be made for Season 1. It was retired after Season 14 in the United States, and after Season 13 internationally. | |||
In "[[Fern's Slumber Party]]", when Fern suggests thatthey should move on to the title card, she says "Maybe that swimming one", also breaking the fourth wall saying it. | |||

== | ==Francine Hits a Gong== | ||
[[File:Francine's Bad Hair Day title card.png|thumb|200px]] In a parody of the Rank Group logo, [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] walks up and hits the center circle with a banging noise similar to a gong. This causes [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] to yelp and begin shaking. The sound of Arthur yelping was changed in Season 11. Initially, Arthur would yelp the instant he comes up, but in later seasons, he would do so after he comes up, and in some occasional cases he is silent. | |||
This title card is commonly used for episodes in which Francine is the central character. This was the second title card of the original six made for [[Season 1]]. Out of all the title cards used, this one was shown the most (30 times), along with Arthur Looks for an Umbrella. This title card was used at least once per season for Seasons 1 through 14. | |||
In Israel, this title card is used as the series title card, appearing at the end of the [[Believe in Yourself|intro]]. | |||

[[File:Arthur's Teacher Trouble title card.png|thumb|200px]] [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] walks into the circle, and roars (a parody of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_the_Lion_(MGM) MGM Lion logo]), burps, trumpets like an elephant, or another different sort of sound (such as a rooster or a horse sound) for most title cards. After he does, Arthur walks up beside him and laughs. The sound of Arthur laughing was changed in Season 3, but the original sound returned in Season 12, although the original sound was retained in the Season 5 episode, Nerves of Steal. | |||

[[File:D.W. All Wet title card.png|thumb|200px]][[Arthur Read|Arthur]] is in the title's central circle when [[D.W.]] dressed like a super-heroine, swoops in, causing Arthur to spin, and says "Ta-da!". In some episodes of [[Season 1]], [[Bionic Bunny (character)|Bionic Bunny]] can be heard saying "Faster and more annoying than a mosquito...it's super sister!", "Peskier than the mosquito! It's super sister!", "More powerful than a locomotive...it's super sister! or "Faster than a speeding bullet, it's super sister!", but these quotations were removed after Season 1. On Season 3-4, D.W. occasionally becomes silent when she swoops in, as well as Season 12-13. | |||

==Arthur Playing a Slot Machine== | |||
[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] pulls down a lever and a picture of the center character appears. The only 4 characters seen for this title card are George, Muffy, Sue Ellen, and the Brain, whom there's only one for. A slot machine sound is heard when each section of the face appears. Arthur does a ta-da pose. | |||
This title card was introduced in [[Season 5]]. The character fully shown in the slot machine is who the episode focuses on. This title card was used twice in the half-hour episode [[Do You Speak George?]]/[[World Girls]], disregarding the difference in character face shown. | |||

List of Title Cards has a gallery at the Elwood City Art Museum.
| ||
Every episode of Arthur has a title card which displays the title, the name(s) of the writer and storyboard artist, and a short animation encompassed within a center circle. Season 1 originally used six different title cards, but later seasons introduced more. With the exception of early versions of Season 1 episodes, the title is spoken aloud by either Binky, Buster, Francine, D.W., Muffy, Brain, George, Sue Ellen, Ladonna, and Arthur. The title card occurs 0:40 - 2:15 minutes into the episode. After Season 1, the typeface for episode titles was modified and have double-story lowercase "a"'s instead of single-story ones. The title names were enlarged starting with Season 10. The title cards were replaced with a scene from the episode, making them all unique, starting with Season 16 in the United States and Season 14 internationally.
In the following list, each title card has a list of episodes that use it. The name in parentheses is the character who reads the title aloud.
Arthur Underwater
The center circle is full of water. We see fish swim by, followed by Pal, followed by Arthur. He says "Hi!", but sometimes he will say something else like "Yay!". Sonar sounds are audible in the background.
This title card is usually used in episodes in which Arthur is the central character (or Pal, in early episodes). The first title card made for the series, it was the first out of the original six title cards to be made for Season 1. It was retired after Season 14 in the United States, and after Season 13 internationally.
In "Fern's Slumber Party", when Fern suggests thatthey should move on to the title card, she says "Maybe that swimming one", also breaking the fourth wall saying it.

Francine Hits a Gong
In a parody of the Rank Group logo, Francine walks up and hits the center circle with a banging noise similar to a gong. This causes Arthur to yelp and begin shaking. The sound of Arthur yelping was changed in Season 11. Initially, Arthur would yelp the instant he comes up, but in later seasons, he would do so after he comes up, and in some occasional cases he is silent.
This title card is commonly used for episodes in which Francine is the central character. This was the second title card of the original six made for Season 1. Out of all the title cards used, this one was shown the most (30 times), along with Arthur Looks for an Umbrella. This title card was used at least once per season for Seasons 1 through 14.
In Israel, this title card is used as the series title card, appearing at the end of the intro.

Buster Makes Sounds
Buster walks into the circle, and roars (a parody of the MGM Lion logo), burps, trumpets like an elephant, or another different sort of sound (such as a rooster or a horse sound) for most title cards. After he does, Arthur walks up beside him and laughs. The sound of Arthur laughing was changed in Season 3, but the original sound returned in Season 12, although the original sound was retained in the Season 5 episode, Nerves of Steal.
This title card is commonly used for episodes in which Buster, and/or Arthur is/are the central character(s). This was the third title card of the original six made for Season 1.
