Best Arthur Characters

The Top Ten
1 D.W. Read

Even though D.W. annoys her brother, she steals the show. If she had not been on the show, it would have been off the air by now. She is only four years old. Give her a break.

DW is my favorite. She always was and always will be. I like her because she is so funny and kinda relatable sometimes.

She is kind, funny, bratty, and she one-ups stupid things from her mind. I love D.W better than Caillou, Dora, and Homer.

2 Arthur Arthur Timothy Read is the titular protagonist of both the book series and the PBS children's television show Arthur, created by Marc Brown.

Seriously, how can D.W. be higher than Arthur?

Why is DW better? He should be number one.

Put Arthur at number one. He's the star.

3 Buster Baxter

Reminds me of myself (I love eating).

4 Binky Barnes

Good-hearted character who has a few dimensions to him: tough, strong-willed, relaxed, motivated, funny.

Hilarious character. Has so many funny lines.

Binky has some of the funniest lines in the show.

5 The Brain

This guy is my intellect, plus he's way more athletic and people-smart than me.

The smartest of all the characters. Plus, he's not a nerd. He's gifted. There's a large difference.

Totally underrated, down-to-earth, clever, and influential. My G.

6 Mr. Ratburn

The scene in the camping one where he tries to use the computer is hilarious.

I actually always loved this guy. And I know why now: he is relatable.

7 Francine

I think Francine can be very overlooked. Sure, she can be mean at times, but there are times where she is also kind and shows a softer side. Additionally, she's very talented in sports.

Well, I mean, she can be kind sometimes.

Very mean but a very great soccer player, and baseball and basketball player, and an awesome cat.

8 Muffy Crosswire

She might be a spoiled brat, but she actually has a sweet heart.

9 Mr. Read
10 Mrs. Read
The Contenders
11 Sue Ellen

I love Sue Ellen. She reminds me of me. Almost all her episodes, I can relate to. She is awesome!

She's so cute and observant! She's my favorite character of the whole show!

She's my favorite character. She's so sweet and jolly.

12 Pal

Pal can actually talk, but no one else knows. Just animals and Kate.

13 Nadine Flumberghast
14 George

He may be underrated, but the things I can say about him are that he is creative, smart, and kind.

I love George. He's so cute and kind.

George is cool. He needs more love.

15 Fern Walters

Mainly because I love floppy-eared dogs.

Her episodes are always interesting.

Very good writer, very good detective, very good soccer player, and very good at making poetry.

16 Kate
17 Tommy
18 James
19 Ladonna Compson

I love this character because of her adorable smile.

20 Bionic Bunny

Saved Arthur from being made fun of even more in the first episodes.

21 Grandma Thora
22 Molly MacDonald

Very mean and great advice-giver, and very good artist, very good sister to James.

23 Marina

Very smart, very good soccer player, very good reader, and very brave.

24 Bud Compson
25 Mrs. MacGrady
