I am 13, and I am watching PBS right now. Arthur is next, and I just LOVE Arthur. If you think that is silly, well, I could recommend some books for you. Nothign kid like, but really there, like mysteries. You would like them. And I mean this for anyone!!!!!! who thinks that is silly to LOVE Arthur. I used to watch it, then get ready for kindergaten(I can't spell that!)

I used to watch it a long time ago. But the children in my family are into Dora The Explorer and Thomas And Friends. I don't get much else.

I only remember one episode where Arthur had his friend Mr. Brainerd over to his house and he was so polite and Arthur wasn't. That one always stuck with me cause I've always tried to be a Brainerd.

Everyday when you're walking down the street...everybody that you meet has an original point of view. And I say hey! What a wonderful kind of day! When you can learn to work and play and get along with each other. You've got to listen your heart, listen to the beat, listen to the rhythm, rhythm of the street...open up your eyes, open up your ears, get together and make things better by working together... <typed entirely from memory. \:D/
It's a simple messege, and it comes from your heart, believe in yourself cuz that's the place to start, and i say HEY! What a wonderful kind of day
If we could learn to work and play
And get along with each other.

Hey! What a wonderful kind of day. Hey!
What a wonderful kind of day. Hey!


I love that song!! (even tho its cheezy)

I agree with the poster who said something about in the new eps, Arthur and "The Brain"'s voices being different and squeaky, but that's because their voices are changing right? Like what our resident former Odyssey member Jimmy Barcley's voice did when he was still doing voice work. It is hard to move on from their younger voices though, then they sound totally different.
That's what I think, i like the older ones better. Now they're trying to hard to keep their voices in the higher register. It's kinda sad that arthurs growing up... That's another thing. haven't you always wondered why he's always in the 3rd grade??

I saw an episode where Binky Barnes got paired with DW for a school project and they danced! It was so beautiful. Bet you all didn't know that Binky loved to dance. Knows all the lingo and everything. Nothing more funny that him clogging and showing a little girl how to spin.

They've obviously never met some of the cast of AIO. I think if they can do the voice, let them stay!
