This are who I ship together:
Arthur/Francine
Buster/Fern
Binky/Sue Ellen
Muffy/Buster(They'd be in a relationship until she found out just HOW disguisting Buster truely is and she'd get together with some rich guy,while Fern,who I'll say has had a crush on Buster for a long time,consoles Buster after the breakup and thus he falls for her)
Brain/Prunella
Rattles/Molly(While Slink would have a major crush on Molly)
D.W./Tommy Tibble
Emily/James
I really never think about Arthur relationships, but I would say this is exactly how I would imagine them.

The only relationship that I had thought about before was Binky/Sue Ellen. I always thought that this one was pretty obvious. I can't recall any episodes off the top of my head at the moment, but I've always picked up some subtle hints throughout the series that made me pair them up in my head.

the newer episodes become less complex entirely, going from, say, wishing you were more mature, or being poor when you have a rich friend, to cupcakes being stolen.)
That episode did have a complex meaning, it showed that if a person was truly guilty of a crime, their guiltiness can almost always be proven with law and order, which is a much better system than blind revenge. Also, it gave an idea (no matter how vague) as to how the United States court system works.

I think that the episodes will become as good as they were pre-season 16 beginning with season 17. I actually kind of liked season 16, but I will admit that it was sub-par compared to most other seasons. I do believe that this was just a rough patch for Arthur, mostly due to the animation changing hands.

For instance, remember when Ratburn was trying to tell the kids what record players were? "Before CDs were invented?" CDs, for example, are kind of passe now what with MP3 players, iPods and such, kids today probably don't really know much about CDs (though I personally never made the upgrade from CDs myself). There's also a lot of references to VHS tapes, which we all know have been obsolete for years now. Video cameras used for taping home movies look ancient today.

Don't forget Muffy's "Cellular Phone" from "Arthur, World's Greatest Gleeper!"

Hey Arthur fanatics,a lot of you have been complaining about the lack of Seasons 1-4 reruns on PBS.THE TIME TO GET THE OLD ARTHUR BACK IS NOW! I'm not gonna let PBS bully me out of my favorite episodes.Are you guys?Any ideas on how we can get them back,like a petition or something?

I think that some of the early Arthur episodes are a bit too dated in the eyes of PBS. If you were to convince a station to put more early Arthur in their schedule, know that it would likely be your local station, rather than the main PBS schedule. I too would love to see more season 1-4 Arthur on, but I don't know how likely it is.

Also, I would gladly sign any petition, but have you ever known of a petition that has worked?

No! No-no-no-no-NO! This can NOT be happening! Worlds are continuing to collide!!!

First it was Sid & Marty Krofft... THEN it was the Muppets... NOW it's Arthur! Nooooooo! Civilization continues to crumble! Things like puppets, Muppets, and Arthur need to be kept as faaaaaaaaar away from creepy-peepy, freaky-deaky fan conventions as possible! Worlds are colliding!

My thoughts exactly. Part of me knows that I want to go now, but the bigger part of me knows that I would never go to Comic Con.

well, i was able to get an account here even though he's not really handling this anymore. thank goodness for that. ive seen other sites where the one in charge left, and even though people were still interested in the forum and stuff, they couldn't get an account.  :-\

Yes, we are lucky that this forum does not have manual account approval.

Muppetfan was last in contact with us over at the Arthur Wiki. I already know why he left us over at wikia, but out of respect for Muppetfan I will not reveal that to anyone no matter how many times they ask me. As for why he left this site, we may never know, but as Magnezonomon said, other commitments. The real question is what do we do with a site that doesn't have any administrative staff?

How long ago did he leave the Wiki?

Arthur Out Of Context is great, I've been going there for just a month or two now, but the owner updates it frequently and never fails to make me laugh.

i never did get why some people made such a big deal about that episode. a lot of people, (mostly oversensitive parents.) wanted it banned. i personally think that it would be one of the better episodes, and i would let my kids watch it. i would watch it a lot more often, but the last time i did, my mom yelled, "what are you watching?!?" me, "oh, just Arthur, mom!" mom, *hairy eyeball.* i don't think my mom trusts Arthur anymore. :-[

Many cartoons have an episode that involves bad language, but I think that the objection to this one was due to the fact that they used an actual bleep, rather than covering it up with another sound. The bleep just made the whole thing sound a little worse, in my opinion.
