About Arthur

Arthur was produced by WGBH for PBS, starring Daniel Brochu as Arthur with Jodie Resther as Francine and Arthur Holden as Buster. Early seasons ran 30 episodes yearly in the late 1990s, later seasons shortened toward the 2022 finale with Mr Ratburn wedding and finale arcs.

Specials include Perfect Christmas (2000) and Missing Pal (2006) plus D W and the Beastly Birthday shorts. Watch seasons one through twenty five in broadcast order, since school grade and sister D W growth recur. The films post covers the unrelated Dudley Moore movies, kept fully separate from this aardvark run.

Good to know

Broadcast order matches school order across 25 seasons with no reshuffle. Start with season one for Elwood City enrollment setup that powers later friend arcs. Later wedding and finale payoffs land best after full early context. As an ended run, the seasons plus specials form the complete cartoon guide apart from the films post.
