As a kid, I was bummed to not have access to shows on Nickelodeon and Disney channel. Now as an adult, Iām so glad I was blessed with a show like Arthur.

I religiously watched Arthur as a kid. Iām 20 now, and I remember this episode.
I loved Arthur so much. I was a bit embarrassed and even made of (at times) for the fact that my family did not want to pay for cable TV shows, especially kids ones. It was mostly a cost savings measure, as my parents were very frugal, but it was also because my Mom believed in what shows like Arthur taught. It wasnāt mumbo jumbo crap TV that was on profit driven paid channels. Instead, it was a thought provoking media that actually offered real benefit to kids.
Looking back I now see how impactful this type of programming was on me. I am honored to say my parents understood that.

Arthur was one of my favorite shows growing up. We didn't have cable, so Arthur, Cyberchase, Fetch and the like were my staples. I'm glad I grew up being exposed to these kinds of programs that have intelligent writing, empathetic characters, and realistic scenarios.

I think using a fire instead of the twin tower attacks was also a good idea because it didn't rehash a real world event that traumatized many people. By depicting a school fire, it spared survivors affected by 9/11 from potentially triggering or retraumatizing imagery. It made the episode accessible to a part of the audience they were definitely trying to connect with, so I think it was a great decision.

I think Bluey may be walking in the footsteps of Arthur, being unafraid to tackle tough subjects in a manner children can understand without talking down to them.
Arthur really did a good job and the show ran for almost 30 years. That's super impressive if you ask me.

For those who don't know, this episode was written by the majority of Canadian writers from Toronto and MontrƩal because Arthur is actually Canadian. As a Canadian myself, they did an outstanding job comforting the Americans from New York, to across the whole country with this episode. It got to the point, which this episode is straight up beautiful, and it had a touching message. It had me almost tearing up soon after seeing this video. God Bless America. I love Arthur.

Man this one hit hard. I survived a house fire when I was a child, which severely impacted me growing up and even today. I remember being unable to watch any sort of tv program that depicted fireāeven cartoons. There was one time, a few years after the fire I survived, I was at a fancy restaurant with some family and someone ordered a flambĆ©, which terrified me to the point of nearly causing a scene. I never received any sort of therapy or counseling afterwards, and the words āpost traumatic stressā didnāt even enter my vocabulary until I was nearly done with high school. Needless to say, shows like Arthur that touch on these subjects in a way a child can understand are vital.

No matter what issue or topic it was, Arthur always found a way to talk about it in an episode. This episode was, and still is, the best example of that. They were aware of an event that impacted many people and handled it respectfully.
Arthur was just one of those PBS Kids shows that wasn't only about exploring the world or learning about math and science, but was also about handling serious topics.
I'm glad this show existed, and I'm glad it wasn't afraid to talk about topics you wouldn't hear that much in any PBS Kids show or any kids show in general.

This episode made me feel for every character who had to deal with their issues. It definitely goes to show on how great this show is with teaching important lessons.

I started crying during this video. I love that this could be applied to ANY tragedy and many (maybe even most) kids will live through something very impactful like this. Whether that be a natural disaster or something else. This shows Mr. Rogers level of care towards children's psyches, which is so important.

It wasn't cancelled! When it was announced in 2021 that the 25th season was gonna be its last, the show had already wrapped up production in 2019 according to show developer Kathy Waugh. Her and Marc simply decided that 25 was a nice number to end. So it wasn't one of those cancellations where production ended right when it was announced, but rather the show had an actual finale. The show's final segment is called All Grown Up. They find a fortune telling game and gets a hint of what their futures might hold.
Arthur picks up a book from the library but realizes he got a book about drawings. Going back to exchange it, they discover the game. When they play the game, Muffy is predicted to be a public servant, she thinks a mail carrier, but they tell her she should be a politician. Francine is predicted to be businesswoman, Buster is predicted to be a teacher, but when it comes to Arthur's turn...the batteries run out. Arthur decides to give the book about drawing animals a chance...jump 20 years later, and Arthur is now a creative writing professor and decides to work on a graphic novel about his childhood...which is the show. You really outdid yourself on this narration and profound analysis! I still remember this episode vividly, was actually one of the first episodes of Arthur I ever saw as a kid. In a series with so many iconic episodes and storylines in those early years, this one really hit home for me.

I actually re-watched this episode recently, it still holds up incredibly great.
Sue Ellen's closing words had me crying uncontrollably, it made me think about how much kids have to go through nowadays because of school shootings like Uvalde.
"I never wanna go through another fire, but I never wanna lose this feeling; that each day is special. That my friends are the best friends in the world, and that if we stick together, we can make it through just about anything."

I was the Storyboard Supervisor on Arthur in the late 1990's but all of the credit for Arthur's success should go to the Writers and the Director, Greg Bailey. Arthur scripts were very classy and clever and we tried to provide visuals that were more cinematic than other cartoons at the time. There were no child psychologists involved in the series giving dumb notes and ruining the show like kids shows have today. I doubt we could have the word "dopey" in a cartoon today. BTW I would vote the episode where DW eats the green potato chip and thinks she's about to die as another very dark episode...but it was handled in such a comedic way you'd never know it was an episode about death and characters contemplating what is the meaning of life! What cartoon today would even go near these subjects?

I was in my 20s when Arthur started, and 52 when it went off the air last year. I'd often watch it while getting ready for work, or in afternoons. Its intelligence and refusal to condescend struck me, and I'm sure they contributed to its staying power. This essay is just as trenchant and careful as the show.

I think Bluey is starting to get to that level of brilliant writing that doesnāt pander to kids

the best part about Arthur as a show is that it didn't treat kids like they were stupid. it taught things that other shows at the time would have sugarcoated to diabetic levels. in a sea of wacky colors, characters with goofy voices and catchphrases like "yowza-ka-wowza", arthur keeps things grounded and (mostly) realistic. How many cartoons aimed specifically at young children do you know that would have had a character come out as homosexual and go on to have a same-sex marriage?
we need more cartoons like Arthur. The messages this show taught were invaluable for children to learn. teach them serious matters while they're still young and impressionable, and that way it'll stick more.

This is why we need good kidās content. Itās not just to occupy them. Itās to help them with growing up

I remember watching Arthur as a little kid and now to see it as an older person just makes me realize what and understand the show a lot more. As a kid I never knew Arthur dealt with social commentary topics but after watching this video it makes me remember and summarize. This is the reason why cartoons make me cry not just because of what happened but the innocence of the characters and how naive but not in a bad way.

I remember this episode. It actually helped me learn to process emotions/trauma, and itās amazing that a kids show can have that kind of impact. Very thoughtfully written and well-executed episode.
