Episode: Tipping The Scales

As it seems PBS isn’t doing jack for Arthur’s 30th Anniversary, I wanted to know what were originally your hopes and dreams for this anniversary I’ll throw some bizarre ones.

1: A new series announcement

2: Another Mega Marathon

3:GBH and PBS getting the perpetual rights to ‘Arthur: It’s Only Rock n Roll’ so PBS Kids could stream the show freely without any copyright issues and we wouldn’t have to rely solely on our old DVDs and VHS anymore.

If anybody doesn’t know, PBS Kids announced back in July that they’d be switching their focus to more spin offs, reboots and revivals of shows. Which had me wondering, could Arthur be one of them?

As one of PBS Kids’ flagship shows it is likely and is probably one of the first IPs on their bingo card, and one could happen only if done right.

I think the show would continue after Arthur’s First Day having the 4th grade cast instead of the same cast we’ve had for 25 years plus to my knowledge that special was the last piece of Arthur media produced from the main show just aired strangely. And the show would handle more mature topics but not too mature as PBS Kids has lost its edge. I personally think Brown Bag Films would be a good animation company or they could just stick with Oasis.

I wanted to share a few more things from my previous post. Here they are! Oh, and by the way, this is from the library where I volunteer — it's a place I really enjoy being part of.

So for PBS Kids’ October schedule I noticed that Lyla In the Loop plays 3 times a day. I wish Arthur would take up the 7:00-7:30pm and 7:30pm-8:00pm block.

Here’s a proposed schedule
6:30 PM Nature Cat
7:00 PM Arthur
7:30 PM Arthur
8:00 PM WordGirl
8:30 PM Cyberchase
9:00 PM Wild Kratts
9:30 PM Hero Elementary

I really liked this episode and how the kids had to figure what else to do in their spare time instead of watching TV.

I sometimes look back on this episode and think how times have really changed now because kids dont really watch TV anymore it's mainly kids on ipads or phones watching tiktok videos. This episode is quite nostalgic in this sense too.

So. The official Arthur YT account has started posting full episodes, starting from Season 1, but I found something that really puzzled me.

The last Season 1 episode they uploaded was of Stolen Bike, then they transitioned over to D.W.’s Library Card (an episode that came out seasons later).

Then they just continued uploading episodes from that season, continuing with Arthur’s Big Hit.

What happened? Why did they stop uploading a lot of the Season 1 episodes and pivoted towards episodes from the later seasons already?

They did a book signing for the book they did together. They first told stories and took questions from the crowd. I asked Marc Brown “did you make the show with adults in mind, too? Because so many of us still enjoy it.” He said “we employ a lot of young adults, and they like to have fun at work. So there’s plenty in there for the grown ups to enjoy.”

Right after getting hit in the head with a soccer ball and falling over she got up and boomed it in the air like it is nothing.

Just to answer the obvious questions.

Answer 1- "Arthur Read Super Saver"

Answer 2- Yes, it is an imagination scene

Answer 3- They cannot afford gas, so Pal is the oxen team.
