There could be any number of reasons!

Cum can be educational.

I remember hating Arthur every time I came on. Could not turn it fast enough. As a kid Arhtur's whole physical look was off-putting for me. Not sure why.

Wait holy poo poo they still do new episodes of Arthur? Here's the most recent episode title.

"Buster's Second Chance/Arthur and the Whole Truth"

Into it

I want to get the Arthur theme song and get some tricked out sound system for my car, or use some stereo on public transit, and play it so everyone can hear it.

Imagine the scene from Star Trek IV with the punk rock dude, but it'd be me, playing the Arthur theme song.

My favorite episode of Arthur is the one where Binky and bully pals realize that bullies aren't hip or modern anymore so while they are trying to find their place in society they become a gang that violently shh people at the library.

I remember there was an episode where Arthur ripped his pants at school and everybody saw his shameful tighty-whiteys, and I found it hard to watch because that was my greatest fear as a six-year-old, apart from nuclear holocaust.

Lol wait was he Jewish? The fat bully kid from hey arnold was Jewish too.

Is this some sort of zionist media conspiracy to use cartoons to make kids think Jewish kids are tough and not to gently caress with them?

No man, I was talking about the Fat Bully Kid from Hey Arnold. I don't think Binky is a Jew.

How problematic. Also found out the bear named Alan was voiced by Steven Crowder and was supposed to be Senegalese.

It makes sense they're monkeys, I'm at ease.

Binky is good and is a continual victim of bullying. By both the system as well as his classmates.

the holy poopacy: May 16, 2009; hey! check this out; Fun Shoe

Arthur treats women very poorly, especially Lana who he frequently calls by racial slurs. He is very irresponsible and frequently abuses and neglects his friends. I do not think this show is appropriate for children at all.
