Revision as of 23:55, 13 June 2014
Hello there. I am a major fan of Arthur. I have seen every episode at least once and the vast majority several times. I was born just a couple years before the series premiere, so I was practically raised on this show. The original seasons are the best, of course. Seasons 5 and 7 are my favorites. I also really enjoy Season 15.
Favorite Characters
Of course, I like Arthur as the main character, and D.W. and Buster provide comedy here and there, but there are others I think have had great character development and some interesting stories:
- Muffy: Strong character from the very beginning. Spoiled rotten yet mature. Her relationships with other characters are often very strong as well (i.e. Bailey, Francine, etc.) Voice actress consistency is also great.
- George: I love seeing his progression from being the shy kid to getting out of his shell a bit. I think it is perfect that the writers let him befriend Carl.
- James: The random background character who is slowly gaining some air time in the show. I love the stories the writers put him in. Night of the Tibble is actually one of my favorite episodes of the later seasons.
- Bailey: Another somewhat minor character slowing gaining air time and character. His relationship with Muffy is great, and I love the little humorous bits with him in the show.
- Bitzi: An average over-protective mother, yes. But she's also a strong woman who has it together pretty well for being a single mother and holding a pretty decent job at the local paper. Very sweet too.
- Mrs. MacGrady: It's great to see an older person being a positive influence on the Lakewood kids. Wish she would be featured more often.
- Maria: I'm a fan of developing background characters. I CANNOT wait until Season 19's episode about her!

- Season 1 : Arthur Accused! - The Half-Baked Sale - D.W. Gets Lost
- It's very hard to pick just 3 out of 60.

- Season 4 : The Blizzard - The Contest - Arthur's Big Hit

- This is my one of my favorite seasons along with Season 5; essentially any episode could have been top 3.

- Season 10 : Flaw and Order - Do You Speak George? - The Squirrels
