| Seasonally appropriate new episode |
[Oct. 17th, 2010|10:31 pm] |
Hi there, Elwood City! I've resurfaced from busy life for a moment to give a heads up for those of you Arthur fans who also love Neil Gaiman. The author will be making an animated appearance on the upcoming episode "Falafelosophy."
This episode airs on October 25. Check your local times.
A short article can be found here:
http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2010/09/neil-gaiman-gets-animated-on-arthur/
I've only just begun reading his work a couple of years ago, and have a lot more titles to read through, but I'm excited! :) |

| Arthur Poseable Figures |
[Jan. 27th, 2010|05:16 pm] |
Selling 5" figures circa 1995-7:$5.50 + S&H - NEW "On Vacation Arthur" Figure
$5.50 + S&H - NEW "Soccer Player Arthur" Figure
All three are still sealed and brand-new, although with minor dents in the cardboard. Is anyone interested? I will accept PayPal or well-concealed cash at your own risk if PayPal is impossible.
Shipping will probably be around $3 USD, please specify which state you're from to get an exact amount.
I don't have photos of mine yet, but if you click the names of the figures above, you'll be linked to an eBay auction of the same figure but being sold used. I looked for the cheapest auctions for price comparison. There wasn't a soccer player Arthur for sale by himself.
Comments will be screened. |

| IMPORTANT QUESTION |
[Jan. 8th, 2010|08:41 pm] |
I pose a question to the entire Elwood City community (it's extremely important): which Arthur episode contains the "Word from Us Kids" where they sing, "What is a hero? What is a heroine? A person admired for qualities and achievments, for qualities and achievments!"? It's not Locked in the Library or Buster Baxter, Cat Saver. We already tried that. No luck. We suspect it may be the Michelle Kwan episode, but have been unable to receive confimation on this theory.
Please respond with any leads; the situation is quite desperate (a.k.a. the future of Elwood City is at stake!). |

| New episode info |
[Aug. 17th, 2009|10:48 pm] |
Got this from dorawinifred.net
Season 13 starts airing on October 12.
The highlight of the season is the two-parter "The Great MacGrady", a Very Special Episode in which Mrs. McGrady is diagnosed with cancer.
From the WGBH Pressroom:
When Lakewood Elementary's beloved lunch lady Mrs. MacGrady is diagnosed with cancer, Arthur and his friends all react differently to the news:Arthur and D.W. rush to her side with heaps of chicken soup and stuffed animals, Muffy tries to pretend that nothing in her life has changed, and Francine is so upset she can't even bring herself to visit Mrs. MacGrady. In this moving episode, both parents and kids learn how they can come together to support Mrs. MacGrady and each other; and Lance Armstrong makes a special appearance to show Francine and the Elwood City residents how they can take a stand, or ride a bike, for cancer survivors.
"The Great MacGrady" will air every day the week of Monday, October 19.
The other episodes not mentioned in the last update are:
Looking for Bonnie: Famous rock musician Dean Lomax visits Elwood City and calls on George's dad to fix his equally famous guitar, Bonnie. Legend says that Bonnie is magical, and Buster and George are convinced that just one strum will give them special powers. And, during one late-night sleepover, they sneak into George's dad's workshop to find out if it is true.
The Pride of Lakewood :To boost school pride, Arthur and his classmates form the Lakewood Pride Committee, which immediately and fervently adds members, distributes buttons and creates special chants. But Brain and Sue Ellen, feeling pressured, decide that they do not want to join, and are accused of not loving their school. Can they prove that they are proud of Lakewood Elementary even if they are not part of this new group?
The Secret Origin of Supernova:Arthur is dismayed when he learns that an energy drink endorsed by his favourite comic book character is full of sugar, and that it will not give him any special energy or magic powers at all! Are there any superheroes who are not just out to make money, or must Arthur create his own?
Kung Fool:Fern volunteers to help an elderly neighbour, Tony Wu, with his household chores, and then discovers his past life as a kung fu celebrity. Suddenly she imagines herself as his student, and she will soon be a kung fu master herself! But will Fern be disappointed to learn that dish cleaning and laundry folding are not really part of some special martial arts training? Or can she learn a valuable lesson in acceptance and friendship?
The Secret Guardians: When Arthur, Binky and Sue Ellen stumble upon a beautiful and private woodland oasis right by their homes, they vow to tell no-one and keep it as their secret spot. Before long, however, they start to find evidence of human habitation; have they discovered an ancient civilisation? Or has someone known about this special secret place all along?
There should be one more episode I don't have the info for. Also, the episode pairings might not be the same as how I've listed them-I'm just getting the descriptons where I can.
Some of these episodes have aired ahead of schedule on certain stations.
Also, Philip Seymour Hoffman guest stars in "Fernlets by Fern", which was already mentioned in the previous update.
In other news, the Arthur Character Search is over:
Connor Gordon, 11, of Savage Minn., is about to make
his television debut. As the grand prize winner of the ARTHUR/All Kids Can Character Search, Connor along
with his character, Lydia Fox, will be featured on the live-action segment of an ARTHUR episode Tuesday, June
30 on PBS KIDS GO! (check local listings). The segment features Connor, an aspiring artist, meeting
ARTHUR creator and author Marc Brown.
In February 2009, ARTHUR, the award-winning PBS KIDS GO! television series, and CVS Caremark All Kids
Can, a program dedicated to making life easier for kids with disabilities, invited children ages 6-12 to create anew friend for ARTHUR. The search was designed to educate children about the importance of inclusion andhow children of all abilities can play together. It also encouraged parents and children to think about what life is like for someone they know who has a disability.
Connor went right to the drawing board. Selected out of an overwhelming 8,500 entries, he won top honors for his character Lydia Fox:a 10-year old girl fox who uses a wheelchair and loves to draw and play basketball.
Producers of the ARTHUR show were so impressed that they already have plans to include Lydia in two additional
future episodes.
So, keep a lookout for this new character.

Does it bother anyone else that lately, every single episode features that episode's main character having a dream relevant to their situation? What, is the moral supposed to be "learn from your dreams"? :\ |

| I HAVE TO SAY THIS: |

I DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF THE NEW EPISODES. :(
They look too animated. I mean I know Arthur's a cartoon, but the newer episodes look..weird. Does anyone agree/disagree with me?

Hello everybody !
Happy new year by the way :) Just to let you know that the third season of Arthur will be released in the UK on March 23. You can already pre-order it on Amazon UK. No word on the US release of the first season yet, but I'm sure it'll be released this year.
Please note that this isn't the complete series three. It's the end of series two that wasn't on the so-called "complete series two". I really want to send Delta Music (the ones who made the DVD) an email about that because it's really not clear. |
