This Columbus Day, join Arthur and his friends for another season of fun in Elwood City as ARTHUR celebrates its 15th season with a week of all-new episodes premiering Monday, October 10. The season opens with a two part, action-packed "24" inspired 15th Anniversary Show, aptly titled "Fifteen." While Arthur rushes home to find his homework before class starts, George gets a shot to win big bucks for Lakewood Elementary on the radio show "15 Minutes of Fame." In the meantime, Kate and Pal battle the evil "Red Claw". Can they all accomplish these missions before their fifteen minutes are up?
The fun continues throughout the week with four more days of new episodes. On Tuesday, October 11, Binky gets caught doing the uncoolest of all the uncool things in the world – holding his mom’s hand in “I Wanna Hold Your Hand." And in “Whistling in the Wind,” the Tibble Twins learn they aren’t exactly the same when Timmy can’t whistle quite like Tommy. Then, on Wednesday, October 12 Buster tries to track down his secret admirer in “Buster’s Secret Admirer,” while James lets new-found power goes to his head in “The Last King of Lambland.” On Thursday, October 13, Muffy and friends learn how to survive without using money in “Cents-Less” and Buster learns that others’ privacy is something to honor and respect in “Buster the Lounge Lizard.” Finishing off the week on Friday, October 14, the kids celebrate healthy eating and stress reduction techniques in “To Eat of Not to Eat” and “S.W.E.A.T.”
"I'm so grateful to have had the unique opportunity to work on ARTHUR from its very first episode through its current season," said WGBH Senior Executive Producer Carol Greenwald. "It's been both a lot of fun and very rewarding to be a part of such a wonderful team and to create stories that entertain kids while providing them with helpful ways of thinking about the issues they face every day. As we premiere this special 15th anniversary season, we are hopeful that ARTHUR will continue its legacy on air for years to come."
Throughout the new season, your favorite Elwood city friends learn to appreciate the differences in themselves and others when Arthur gets new glasses, Fern and Muffy maintain a friendship through different interests and D.W meets a new friend - named W.D, and more.
