It will be the end of an era when Season 25, the last ever series of Arthur, screens next month.
The pre-school animation is longest-running animated series in the U.S., second only to The Simpsons.
The show is based on the children’s books by author / illustrator Marc Brown, who has been working with the beloved aardvark for over 40 years.
Born one night when Brown was telling a bedtime story to his son, Arthur soon evolved into the book Arthur’s Nose, published in 1976 – and then into television, movies, audio books, music CDs, apps, and more.
Arthur chronicles the adventures of eight-year-old Arthur through engaging, emotional stories that explore issues faced by real kids, telling these stories from a kid’s point of view without moralising or talking down.
It wrapped in the US in February.
Tuesday 2 – Friday 5 August at 4pm on PBS Kids (Foxtel Channel 719).

I’m really sad about this 🙁 My brother and I loved this show as kids growing up, and I just had the pleasure of introducing my niece to it. Luckily she’ll have 33 seasons to enjoy over time anyway
