LOVE IT!
I am eleven and this is my favorite show. It has a lot of mature episodes. It once had a reference to South Park which was really funny. XD

a valuable show. there is an episode about a school fire. there is bullying in it, and mentions of getting "held back". there are two "physics". other than that it's a good show.

The best PBS Kids show!
Unlike most shows on PBS Kids (Sesame Street, Barney, Teletubbies, Comfy Couch) Arthur can be enjoyed by people older than ten, since it has actual plot. No wonder it has lasted over twelve years!

You shouldn't watch this if you're older than nine...
This show is okay if you're in second or third grade, but if you're any older than that, you've probably learned everything that the show is supposed to teach-- and it's so lame at that point that you're an easy target for a bully. I think that PBS Kids is aware of this and are trying to make it 'cool' by adding High School Musical songs in the commercial, which only makes them seem even more desperate. And no offense, but High School Musical was created for self-absorbed teenagers.

Interesting, Cute and Funny
I have watched this show from when I was very young, and I still watch it. The messages are good, the characters are entertaining, and there was never a dull moment. Arthur is one of the better kids shows, and it can be fun for adults too. I say, you are never too old for Arthur :)

Arthur Rules!
This show is excellent. It teaches kids good values. Even though sometimes kids can be bossy, they redeem themselves before the show's over. Plus,it's funny. I love it!

Amazing show for all ages that teaches about different situations and lessons!
This is an AMAZING show! I grew up with this show, and it has taught me about so many real life things, and how to solve my own problems and think for myself while still being polite and respectful to peers and adults alike. Another great message I think kids learn from Arthur is to work together and co-operate through various situations. All the characters are different, from Muffy to Brain to Francine, DW, Prunella and more, they really represent kids today! I wouldn't find anything harmful about this show, I'd probably find the oppisate! This show is very educational in that it teaches kids good morals and values, but also about different things like headlice, cancer, Aspergers, and more, and they explain them in a KID FREINDLY way, which I think is so important. The parents and kids are both good role models, but they are humans in that they still make mistakes, hurt others feelings occasionally, etc. but there's always a concequence, and they learn about why it's wrong. This is an amazing show that I still like, even as a teenager! I'd recommend this show for everyone, I still know parents who indulge in this show while their kids are napping, etc. It's THAT good!

I used to love this show, but only for about 3 years. After that I was bored out of it. PBS stuff is CRAP.

good show
Arthur is an awesome show that has positive messages and good role models. There is one bully that is friendly most of the time. Arthur and D.W. argue but that is only because they are bro and sis
