Original show developer Kathy Waugh says PBS "made a mistake" canceling the beloved program. "I don’t know if it was a ratings issue or if it felt like it needed to be retired. To me, it felt evergreen, like it was never going to end." bit.ly/3ybblCi
Executive producer Carol Greenwald confirmed the news to Variety, adding that #Arthur "is known for teaching kindness, empathy and inclusion through many groundbreaking moments to generations of viewers." bit.ly/3ybblCi
Throughout its 25-year run with over 240 episodes, the “Arthur” franchise has expanded to music, video games, toys and social media memes. The series has won four Emmys and the George Foster Peabody Award. bit.ly/3ybblCi
