Arthur will clench his fist one last time. The longrunning children’s cartoon “Arthur” will end its celebrated run after 25 years.
“Arthur” writer Kathy Waugh shared the news on the podcast “Finding D.W.,” which tracks down the seven actors who voiced the character of D.W., Arthur’s younger sister.
“Arthur is no longer in a production,” she said (via Entertainment Weekly). “We had our wrap party two years ago. I think they’ve made a mistake, PBS, and I think ‘Arthur’ should come back. And I know I’m not alone in thinking they made a mistake.”
Waugh said that even though the “Arthur” team finished the final episodes two years ago, the characters are still used by PBS; for example, in a recent PSA about handwashing. “They used the ‘Arthur’ characters so they’re still around,” she noted. “As far as I understand, not all of the shows have aired.
