Top Ten Reasons Arthur Is Overrated

The Top Ten
1 People call Arthur the best show ever

Because it is, to a large number of people, I don't know if you have studied philosophy, but I'm 12 and I know that if you use the term "best" it relies on opinion, and if I consider it to be the best then you have no right to say that it is not because then, in turn you are calling another show the best and stating it as a fact

Those who claim that Arthur is the best show ever are liars. Therefore, they should get the hell off of here and never return.

Arthur is my favorite show ever, and I don't care what my friends think about that I really don't care.

This Isn't Really The Best Show Ever Or Anything Like That, And Neither Is Regular Show.

2 The characters argue way too much and people still call Arthur a good show

Don't you agrue, the fact that they agrue and still manage to be freinds at the end of the day shows that for one, that they can maintain a freindship through the hard parts, and it also shows that people can have different opinions and it shows that there are several points of veiw to each person

They also get consequences for arguing.

He's such a brat

3 People say Arthur is the longest running show ever

Oh, so this means Barney the Dinosaur is better? Someone remove this from the list because Barney the Dinosaur is an idiot.

Just because Sesame Street was a longer running show than Arthur does not mean that it's better!

Seaseme Street was made in November of 1969. Mister Rogers was made in 1968. Arthur was made in 1996. Seaseme Street and Muster Rogers are better than Arthur.

Sesame Street was made in 1969. So Sesame Street was made 27 years before Arthur. Haha

4 Arthur shows up the most on PBS commercials

Because it is considered the best, PBS knows that marketing will go up the most if they show T.V. shows and material that catches the public eye, I'm 12 by the way and I know this

5 The theme song sounds stupid

First of all did you even listen to the lyrics, it supports good morals and you can't say that arthur is bad because of this because technically, if you listened to the lyrics you would have known that it has nothing to do with arthur as a whole

Nice Try. But It's Gonna Take More Than A Stupid Theme Song To Make The Whole Show Overrated.

The only part I don't like is that its more appropriate for 2 year olds instead of 20 year olds.

There theme song is terrible and really lame

6 No one can make a TV show about 8-year-olds without someone saying that it's copying Arthur

I'm not going to even spend time answering that because first of all how is one factoid supposed to be copying, age is the most common atribute from T.V. shows, choose something more specific if you are going to hate on arthur, and even then you said "someone", who cares about a single opinion, grow up

I'm not even going to spend time to respond to that

7 Arthur is boring

No, it isn't. Instead, it's worse than boring. Specifically, it's mostly offensive because of its inappropriate content. Honestly, what's up with its parodies? Does Marc Brown think that they make his series more interesting. If so, he's sadly mistaken.

How can you say its boring, without giving evidence, and it is not, I will give mine, in every episode there is a plot, good characters, freindly, smart and nice if that is your version of boring, your content must be far from apropiate

Arthur Actually Wasn't That Boring To Me Until They Changed The Animation.

Well, this is going to be fun.

8 D.W is the devil's daughter and people still call Arthur a good show

If you ask me, D.W. is stuck-up, annoying, and she's nothing more than a horrible little brat! All she does is annoy people like Arthur and she says stuff that doesn't make sense at all because of how she's young and not that smart. Would it kill her to shut up for once!?!?! Honestly she's as bad as some the other kid characters in that show!

Even if you are right, which you aren't, its called an antonagist, I'm 12, I am stating this because it seems as "adult like" all of you are, you are missing the facts that prove you wrong

"Makes Caillou seem like a good, well-behaved 4 year old."

Right you are, sir or ma'am. At least, Caillou doesn't cause as much as trouble the first sister of Arthur does.

Makes Caillou seem like a good, well-behaved 4 year old.

9 Wild Kratts is always the second best on PBS kids and Arthur always comes first

I believe you the whole way, SevenLizards. Praise to you for favoring Wild Kratts over Arthur. At least, it's more mature in terms of content. Plus, its protagonists aren't kids whereas the ones of Arthur are. Besides, they're old enough to behave better and be smarter.

What Arthur most does nowadays is try to hard to be funny and interesting. And that's what makes it obnoxious mostly due to its pathetic parodies. I just wish Marc Brown would cancel that dang show of his. After all, WK (Wild Kratts) will always reign supreme over Arthur for any day.

First of all that's an opinion, so it really doesn't matter and since you just said wild krats is second best you are indicating that arthur is the best, and even if you do not mean that, you are indicating that a majority of people are saying that arthur is the best, therefore your opinion is excluded from the conversation/debate because you are in the minority, once again, I'm 12

10 PBS kids always has loud music on Arthur commercials

Then turn down the volume, they're just trying to commercialize their product and show the audience the benifits of their T.V. show, once again the facts are coming at you from a 12 year old

Why would you cancel a good show like Mister Rogers or Cyberchase instead of a bad show like Arthur.

The Contenders
11 DW is an idiot

She represents everything wrong with younger siblings, and it's self-explanatory!

She is literally a child. It makes sense that she doesn't know better.

She is so retarded and she needs to be slapped in the face

12 It's too boring for little kids

I ask you, can you share facts, I can share facts to oppose your agruement, it has an inticate plot, comedy, and good characters, before you oppose my agruement share some of your facts to support yours, I'm 12 and I don't find it boring and there is ypur opinions

Really my 3 and 5 hr old cousins find this show extremely boring and they have a long attention span too so don't say they have a short attention span and how old r u if u like this show geez

Boring? Ha! It's worse than that.

13 It's for babies

Oh please! None of those shows are for babies because they have mature content in them. But Sesame Street is much better than due to its having more variety inspiration, although not as much as it did in the past, whereas Arthur has less depth and most of its content is pathetic.

First of all it's a kid show, and you are probobly calling it a baby show because you are older and you do not understand the content as well as you could actually pay attention

It's actually for kids ages 4-8,just saying

Sesame Street is for babies, too.

14 It teaches kids to hit people

Ok, give me an instance, if you are referring to the d.w vs arthur instance, you probobly never watched the episode, arthur realized that he shouldn't have done that and there was a lesson, get your facts straight

15 It teaches kids to argue.

If the agruements ended up as them not being freinds then I could understand you're point, but always the agruements finished of with a deeper meaning, there was several instances where I thought "just keep your point, those guys are wrong", however at the end of the episode I realized that both sides should have an equel chance to point out their agruement, as long as you have facts to support them *cough, cough, you guys*

Can you prove that?

16 Francine is a bully

Francine isn't just a bully at times, she's an inconsiderate hypocrite who insults and hurts others whether they have glasses or loose teeth. What an idiot she is.

For example when Arthur got glasses she said "arthur's a four eyes, arthur's a four eyes, arthur's a four eyes

Ok but at each instance, did francine walk away and kept on making fun of him, were they never freinds again, no, right?

17 Arthur's parents are retarded

How? , they share there smart opinions and good morals, if you are saying this about childrens favourite characters, maybe you should be thinking about what you will do when you are a parent

18 The characters are ugly

Do they have to be pleasing to your eye to give you good entertainment, do you only watch shows and movies for the physical apearence of the characters, I'm 12 by the way, and I know this, grow up

I hate shows with talking animals

19 It teaches kids to barge in when someone is in the bathroom

Sigh, facts please, if so, were they punished, was it considered bad? , grow up please, I'm 12 once again

See the Arthur's Perfect Christmas part

20 DW teaches kids that swearing will get you whatever you want

It gets you in trouble

21 It’s offensive to cat lovers

Francine and the Feline made me stop watching the show. If I was there I would have punched Arthur.

22 Arthur has been 9 since 1996 and needs to die.
23 Too many memes
24 Arthur's hand is stupid
25 Arthur doesn't look like an aardvark
