i saw arthur ( the tv series and the book ) year ago and never be fond of the show very much ( if youre a fan of this cartoon and sorry if i be spoil it for you and but this be actually what i think ) . lot of people like it and but i do not . the school kid character seem to fight all the time ( especially arther and dw ) and they be nice to each other frequently and but gradually i get tired of arthur complain attitude towards everyone and his sister dw ( however the name be spell ) and and dw be an adhd ( or add ) like 4 year old sister of arthur who be sometimes demand ( which could be why arthur get annoy with what her routine be and like her imaginary friend and her stuffed animal collection etc . ) and arthur friend act like teenager instead of what they be like in the arthur book and and the parent and well and they do not care very much . the great cartoon be rocko modern life and not arthur ( no offense ) .
