At least we got the memes out of it, including gay rat wedding.

And it always hurts a bit when I realize that Stephen Crowder was once attached to the show. Ugh.

Is there a reason why it's ending?

This kind of bums me out. Ive watched some of the recent episodes and the quality is still there. I know they were doing Pandemic stuff last year too.

Man, how do you even write a finale for Arthur? Surely it's not just gonna end?
There probably won't be a proper finale and it'll just end without any acknowledgement so they can keep looping it in reruns without kids realizing that no new episodes are coming out. Y'know, like the good ol' days.

I loved the older ones . The new animation style and narrator are trash. RIP to a 'word from us kids' too.

Noooooooooo!

Even though I stopped following Arthur after middle school, I have a strong nostalgic attachment to this show.

I was really, really hoping it would beat out the Simpsons as longest running animated TV show. I believe it was tied for second with another show.

Fuck.

I thought it ended years ago? At least I remember they always played the same episodes over and over.

RIP. Arthur was a staple of my childhood. Shoutout to all the kids who never had cable... this was all we had.

Is there anywhere to watch the first few seasons? This show is as iconic for me as The Simpsons.

Wasn't there a comic creator for Arthur with a thread on the old site that was fuckin hilarious. Not to mention the memes from Black Twitter about Arthur. Show was fantastic.
 
This is definitely one of those shows that punched surprisingly above it's weight in terms of treating kids like they could handle complicated emotions and circumstances. It definitely felt like it could just "show kids the world", including the adult side, and trust them to follow along and absorb it. It's a shame it's ending. I'm not sure what's currently in the educational space that could replace it
Yes. Arthur was a very intelligently written show. I hope kids will learn from it for quite some time.

End of an era. I'll always have a special place in my heart for it, my grandfather would make me cheese fries after school and I'd watch Arthur while eating them.
