| | |
| Hi, everyone! I'm Arthur Read fan, and (as you probably guessed,) I'm a big fan of Arthur! Thanks for viewing my profile, and I'll be sharing ideas, giving comments, and most importantly, helping out on the Arthur Wiki! You'll be seeing a lot from me in the future. Have a wonderful kind of day!

| | |
| ==A little trivia about me==
| |
| | |
| *I 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", which ranked number 1, number 10, and number 15, respectively.

| |
| | |
| '''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 (as is everybody). He's also my favourite male character on Arthur.
| |
| | |
| Some reasons why are because:
| |
| | |
| 1. He is the main character, first of all.
| |
| | |
| 2. He is usually kind and friendly to just about everyone (even DW deep down inside; one big example of this is in the episode "Operation: DW!").
| |
| | |
| 3. He also has a really cool made-up superhero identity, Supernova (from "The Secret Origin of Supernova"; I'd really like to see Supernova again in the future).

| |
| | |
| '''Ladonna''' '''Compson''' is my (very close) second-favourite character on Arthur, and she's also my favourite female character on Arthur.
| |
| | |
| Here are a few reasons why Ladonna is one of my all-time favourite characters:
| |
| | |
| 1. She is very nice, friendly, and positive.
| |
| | |
| 2. She also has a really nice voice, especially when she sings (like the time she sings 'Alice Blue Gown' in "Messy Dress Mess").
| |
| | |
| 3. Even though she wasn't in Arthur for very long (she moved with her family to Elwood City in Season 16's "Based on a True Story", and they moved away to Oregon in Season 23's "When Duty Calls"), Ladonna is still my second-favourite character on Arthur.

| |
| | |
| 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 of the reasons why I like Brain and Buster:
| |
| | |
| 1. I like that Brain is very smart and intelligent, and I also like Brain's sarcasm around Seasons 13 and 14, especially in the episode "Cents-Less".
| |
| | |
| 2. Buster is very funny, and I like how his fantasies can be hilarious, such as his 'South Park' parody idea in "The Contest".
| |
| | |
| 3. Though their personalities are different, Brain and Buster are both friends, as seen in the episodes "Brain's Biggest Blunder" and "On the Buster Scale".

| |
| ==My favourite episodes==
| |
| | |
| (Note: My opinions may be subject to change.)
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 1'''
| |
| | |
| '''''Arthur's New Year's Eve'''''
| |
| | |
| I really like this episode. I think it's a really satisfying conclusion
| |
| to Arthur's first season. It's also humourous, has better animation
| |
| compared to most of the first season, and the ending is really nice.
| |
| Overall, it's one of my favourite episodes of Arthur, and I look forward
| |
| to seeing it again around New Year's Eve.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 2'''
| |
| | |
| '''''Finders Key-pers'''''
| |
| | |
| To me, this one is very humourous. It all starts innocently enough
| |
| with Arthur, Binky, and Brain finding a key on the ground in
| |
| the dusty baseball field. Then they agree to split it 50-50-50, but
| |
| they all want it for themselves, each thinking that it goes to something
| |
| (Arthur thinks it's the Key to the City, Binky thinks that it goes to
| |
| a sports car, and Brain thinks that it goes to the new science museum).
| |
| Then, after hilariously fighting over the key, they find out from Mr. Morris
| |
| that it goes to the sprinklers for the baseball field where they found
| |
| the key in the first place. In my opinion, it's definitely more funny
| |
| than educational, and it's also my favourite Arthur episode from Season 2.
| |
| | |
| *'''''Buster Baxter, Cat Saver'''''
| |
| | |
| This is another one of my favourite Season 2 Arthur episodes that I
| |
| feel like mentioning here. In my opinion, it's funny, has a good plotline,
| |
| and even has some meta references. My favourite part of this 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!"
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 3'''
| |
| | |
| '''''Arthur's Almost Live Not Real Music Festival'''''
| |
| | |
| Of course! This is one of the greatest Arthur episodes of all time in
| |
| my opinion, and it's my favourite episode from Season 3. It's really
| |
| a shame that this episode lost to a few other not-as-good episodes in the 2019
| |
| Arthur Marathon that took place on PBS Kids from May 11-12, 2019,
| |
| because this episode features some really cool songs! My favourite songs
| |
| featured in this episode are 'Jekell and Hyde' and 'Library Card'.
| |
| And by the way, who's Dewey?
| |
| | |
| *'''''The Ballad of Buster Baxter'''''
| |
| | |
| Another Arthur episode in this season that not only is one of my other
| |
| favourites from Season 3, but it also features a song! Art Garfunkel
| |
| makes a good singing moose, and it's also funny how he makes appearances
| |
| throughout the episode, sometimes in the most unexpected of places,
| |
| like at the Kresblain Club Meeting (Speaking of Kresblain, it's
| |
| kind of a shame that he never reappears after this episode. But either
| |
| way, Buster definitely does NOT like Kresblain)! My favourite part of
| |
| The Ballad of Buster Baxter is when Art Garfunkel sings, "Life can be
| |
| tough as nails when your friends think you're a guy who likes to eat
| |
| snails!"
| |
| | |
| ---- | |
| '''Season 4'''
| |
| | |
| '''''The Contest'''''
| |
| | |
| I really like this one. I also 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' (later renamed 'Alfred' in Season 16's "Baby Steps")
| |
| is hilarious. Needless to say, The Contest is my favourite Arthur
| |
| episode from Season 4.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 5'''
| |
| | |
| '''''Pet Peeved'''''
| |
| | |
| Binky really cares about Nemo in this episode. Sometimes I wonder if
| |
| Binky's right about Francine treating Nemo poorly (It would
| |
| explain why Nemo acts so mean in some other episodes).
| |
| | |
| *'''''You Are Arthur'''''
| |
| | |
| This episode is awesome. 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.
| |
| A great episode overall.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 6'''
| |
| | |
| '''''Rhyme for Your Life'''''
| |
| | |
| This may very well be the best episode of Arthur ever in my opinion.
| |
| Rhyme for Your Life contains lots of humour, some very funny moments,
| |
| and it's overall a really great episode of Arthur.
| |
| | |
| *'''''Best of the Nest'''''
| |
| | |
| Another great episode from Season 6 that I feel like
| |
| giving a shout-out to. It's really funny how Answer C in the game
| |
| is always 'Do the hokey-pokey'!
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 7'''
| |
| | |
| '''''Waiting to Go'''''
| |
| | |
| It was a really tough call to decide which episode was the
| |
| best from Season 7: Waiting to Go, or The World of Tomorrow?
| |
| Ultimately, it was this one (meaning Waiting to Go). It's
| |
| got some very funny moments.
| |
| | |
| Just so that it gets mentioned, since it's my second-favourite from
| |
| Season 7:
| |
| | |
| *'''''The World of Tomorrow'''''
| |
| | |
| Like Waiting to Go, this is another outstanding episode.
| |
| I like Binky's dream involving him and 'Thruster' (Buster).
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''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'''''
| |
| | |
| 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! This is a really underrated episode of
| |
| Arthur that is really nice.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 9'''
| |
| | |
| '''''Breezy Listening Blues'''''
| |
| | |
| The part I really like best about this episode is when Brain has
| |
| his fantasy 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!'''''
| |
| | |
| Operation: DW! is a hidden gem in Season 10 (partially because PBS Kids
| |
| hardly ever airs this episode for whatever reason). Arthur is really
| |
| nice to DW in this episode (which I wish we could see more of), and he shows her compassion.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 11'''
| |
| | |
| '''''The Making of Arthur'''''
| |
| | |
| Another really funny episode of Arthur that sort of reminds me
| |
| of "The Contest" (my favourite Arthur episode from Season 4).
| |
| Each video is pretty funny (especially George's 'This Old Dollhouse'),
| |
| and the episode has lots of meta references. The ending of The Making
| |
| of Arthur 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'''''
| |
| | |
| The superhero references abound in this episode, and so does
| |
| the humour. 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. I actually have high-functioning
| |
| autism (not Asperger's Syndrom), so I can sort of relate to how Carl
| |
| feels about some things (No, I don't have a fear of dummies, if that's
| |
| what you're wondering).
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 14'''
| |
| | |
| '''''Around the World in 11 Minutes'''''
| |
| | |
| The intro is funny, with how Arthur smiles like that. The
| |
| episode itself is also great, with how Kate, Pal,
| |
| and company use their imaginations to travel around the world.
| |
| Great episode overall.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 15'''
| |
| | |
| '''''Fifteen'''''
| |
| | |
| Fifteen 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. Oh yeah, I also won't
| |
| say "Well, I always say" again for the rest of this blog post.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 16'''
| |
| | |
| '''''On the Buster Scale'''''
| |
| | |
| This episode has a great lesson, that not everyone is going to
| |
| agree with your opinions (which I think really applies to this blog
| |
| post), 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 after Arthur Read: 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, 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 have they ever gotten this close to a series finale,
| |
| and they may never again. It has some good songs, a great storyline, and
| |
| would've been the perfect series finale. It's my favourite from Season 19.
| |
| | |
| *'''''Arthur's Toy Trouble'''''
| |
| | |
| It's got a good plot, some meta references (mostly in the intro),
| |
| some humour, and is another one of my favourites from Season 19.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''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, 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, and it's my favourite from Season 21.
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| '''Season 22'''
| |
| | |
| '''''When Rivals Came to Roost'''''
| |
| | |
| This one was a nice throwback to "April 9th" (another one of my
| |
| favourites, by the way). Though the plot was predictable, with how the
| |
| two schools (Lakewood and Mighty Mountain) ended up working together
| |
| in the end, it was okay.
