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. With the exception of early versions of episodes from Season 1, the title is read aloud by either Binky, Buster, Francine, or Muffy. The title card occurs 0:40 - 2:15 minutes into the episode. After Season 1, the typeface for episode titles was modified. The title names were enlarged starting with Season 10. Starting in Season 14, the title cards were replaced with a scene from the episode, making them all unique.
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 noises are audible in the background. This title card is most likely used in episodes in which Arthur is the central character.

Notes
- In Fern's Slumber Party, when Fern suggests they should move onto the title card, she says "Maybe that swimming one." She breaks the fourth wall saying it.
Francine Hits Gong
Francine walks up and hits the center circle with a banging noise similar to a gong. This causes Arthur to yelp "Agh!" and begin shaking. 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.
