As it seems PBS isn’t doing jack for Arthur’s 30th Anniversary, I wanted to know what were originally your hopes and dreams for this anniversary I’ll throw some bizarre ones.

1: A new series announcement

2: Another Mega Marathon

3:GBH and PBS getting the perpetual rights to ‘Arthur: It’s Only Rock n Roll’ so PBS Kids could stream the show freely without any copyright issues and we wouldn’t have to rely solely on our old DVDs and VHS anymore.

If anybody doesn’t know, PBS Kids announced back in July that they’d be switching their focus to more spin offs, reboots and revivals of shows. Which had me wondering, could Arthur be one of them?

As one of PBS Kids’ flagship shows it is likely and is probably one of the first IPs on their bingo card, and one could happen only if done right.

I think the show would continue after Arthur’s First Day having the 4th grade cast instead of the same cast we’ve had for 25 years plus to my knowledge that special was the last piece of Arthur media produced from the main show just aired strangely. And the show would handle more mature topics but not too mature as PBS Kids has lost its edge. I personally think Brown Bag Films would be a good animation company or they could just stick with Oasis.

So for PBS Kids’ October schedule I noticed that Lyla In the Loop plays 3 times a day. I wish Arthur would take up the 7:00-7:30pm and 7:30pm-8:00pm block.

Here’s a proposed schedule
6:30 PM Nature Cat
7:00 PM Arthur
7:30 PM Arthur
8:00 PM WordGirl
8:30 PM Cyberchase
9:00 PM Wild Kratts
9:30 PM Hero Elementary

For me on my reasonable list would be

Arthur
WordGirl
ZOOM
RuffRuffman
Splash & Bubbles

Unreasonable:
The Zula Patrol
Danger Rangers
Space Racers

With more to come

I’ve been raising my kid on PBS Kids basically since birth now that he’s in middle school and has 2 younger siblings not to far behind.

He’s been tuned into Arthur but I’d like to know if there are any PBS Kids show that he might like. Live action or animated.

Within the 8-11 range is fine too

I was on the Mint cabin on the LAX-FLL flight B6 1700 on July 20th 2026 from 8:57am-5:38pm and since I am a minor the flight attendants wanted me to feel as safe as possible and there was a flight attendant who is LAX based who was a white male with slick back hair I believe blonde or brunette hair who was chewing gum. He did an exceptional service by navigating me through how the Mint flights worked and checking up on me if I wanted any foods or beverages.

If you are a fan of classic PBS Kids there is a channel on the Roku channel called PBS Retro where you can watch classic pbs kids cartoons and live action shows!

I used to be close to Mariah Carey’s whistle note in O Holy Night but for about 2 years now I stopped using a high pitched voice and started to use my natural masculine voice.

When I sing high I’ll only get a few notes until the cracks happen when I sing normally which is sorta deep I can barely go low or high. Not to mention my actual speaking voice is in the middle. It’s like I’m trapped.

So me and my brother were watching Arthur since we are just kids being kids. And he came up with an interesting theory that the Tough Customers might be in a special needs class. It would explain why they aren’t seen in classes with the other 4th graders why they have the same lunch time as the 3rd graders, why Rattles misspelled Customer with Costumer and why they are the only 4th graders seen at recess with them (not even Prunella goes to recess with them)

What doesn’t PBS Kids air Arthur’s Missing Pal for the family night block on the weekends?

I understand for Arthur: It’s Only Rock and Roll there are rights issues (it would be amazing if GBH got the perpetual rights)

And PBS Kids always airs Arthur perfect Christmas during the holidays so age can’t be a problem.

So my family just got a Shih Tzu Poodle mix and my French Bull Dog’s aggression and anxiety is to a max. Any tips
