I grew up with this show. It was pretty good 20 years ago, but when the animation took a nose dive from traditional hand drawn cell animation to cheap flash animation I knew the show had lost its quality. The stories got worse, the characters continued to grow more annoying, they kept going through the same lessons over and over, it was a mess.
Then in 2019 they decided to increase the awful by making their teacher gay and having the kids attend his wedding. Okay, who the heck invites their students to their wedding? That's immediately creepy, especially since they're all 8 or 9 year olds.
Then in 2020 after "St. George Floyd" overdosed, "Arthur" decides to talk about racism and "being black" in a show where all the characters are animals, with varying skin colors from yellow to pure white to tan. How is "being black" supposed to work with animals? It doesn't, but the show pretends like it does.
I suppose fans of this show as kids, including myself, should have seen this coming since it was produced in Canada.
The one cool thing about the show is that Steven Crowder did the voice work for "The Brain" for some time when he was a kid. Since Steven was from Canada this makes a lot of sense.
Classic Arthur is one of the few cartoons I'm okay with my kids watching. Nice to see kids being kids. Siblings fight. Friends prank each other. Everyone has their own problems to deal with, but they man up and deal with them.
And Brain was the best Arthur character. Change my mind.
Breaks my heart. I LOVED this show as a kid. Why must everything go woke and be destroyed?! Can’t we have ANYTHING that’s just purely fun/entertaining, with no propaganda?!
Maybe the announcement is what I remember. But I know that I remember it being canceled answered months ago. They do like to talk about things a long time before they actually do them so maybe that's what happened.
good now its Carhartt's turn
Now it’s all of corporate America’s turn. They have been forcing this cultural bullshit on everyone.
They all need to go.

Brain definitely was, I agree.

No, no you can’t you’ll have nothing and enjoy it.
Get use to disappointment. ·Man in Black a.k.a Dread Pirate Roberts🐸
A show ending after 26 years. That'll show 'em.
I'm honestly surprised it hung on that long, considering the huge dip in quality in both animation and story.
Happens when all your new interns are from CA Art schools.
I'm not. The memes we got from Arthur helped revive it somewhat.
Oh for sure, there are some great memes that came forth from it.
Let this be a lesson to the rest of the fools America doesn’t want to buy this crap.
Isn't this old news? This came out when they made the white rabbit racist. Bc of course he is; he's white. 😄
No, it just recently got cancelled. The gay wedding and BLM stuff is old news from 2019-2020 but the cancellation was just now.

I’m happy the gov’t funded propaganda failed. We pay for this, whether we agree with it or not.
Good. Fuck them.
Mr Ratbum or is it Ratbutt😂 He reminds me of Bootyjuice
