There are some strange going-ons when it comes to Arthur, that should be fleshed out by the paragons of knowledge that is GBS. Among the issues are Why did Arthur's family have a pet? Arthur was an aardvark, and some of his classmates were dogs. And yet here, we have Arthur with a pet dog.  Was Arthur illegally keeping people as his slave? Is there some form of indentured servitude in the Arthur universe? Another issue to emerge is Binky does not seem to be an actual bully.  Binky is portrayed as being a bully to some extent, however he is never actually seen being a bully, at least not in the episodes I've watched. He's actually a complex person with similar interests (arguably more cultured interests, with proof being his interest in the clarinet) to the rest of the group. However he is pigeonholed as being a bully. A part of this definitely seems to be based on class, so is he part of this indentured class of people that may possibly exist, as mentioned above? Lastly, another issue is What species is Buster's dad? He shares some traits with a rabbit, however as one sees below, shares more traits with a human than a rabbit.  He almost looks like a human trying to pass himself off as a rabbit. The latter issue brings up a more far sweeping discussion of just what is the Arthur universe? Is it some type of post-Doctor Moreau type future, where hybrid animals have taken over the planet? Is it some sort of alternate dimension? Who knows?

Buster was particularly condescending in some episodes. If anything, I almost felt like Binky was a good guy, and we were seeing the show from the perspective of the real bullies; Buster and Arthur.

Applewhite posted:Arthur has quietly been on the air, offending no-one and teaching kids good lessons for twenty years. It might actually be the best show on TV.  In the mid-00's my roommates and I would get high, drunk or what have you, and deconstruct a lot of stuff on TV. That short-lived Boohbah show was something else when tripping balls FYI.

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.

Ein cooler Typ posted:this thread was good when it was serious discussion of the TV showbut it got ruined by unfunny vulgar memes This thread was mainly an attempt to rehabilitate Binky's shattered and erroneous image of being a bully. But then it became about Arthur and D.W's forbidden love.

Binky is actually one of the few people in the show who has headphones that aren't strictly ornamental.

I actually watched an episode for the first time in ten years. Holy poo poo has Arthur become a stupid show since I last watched. In the one I saw Matt Damon (literally Matt Damon) is feuding with Arthur or Binky or something.
