I am excited about the new season and cannot wait to start watching. Won't be able to till like 4:00 or 4:30 pm Arizona time.

I agree with much of what you said. I'm so happy Arthur has continued and is still airing after all these years. I mean some parts of me thought that Arthur would have retired by now, at least back in 2010 or 2011, but Arthur's still going strong and I hope this cartoon will hold out to 20 seasons or more. So if any of yall have any ideas to keep Arthur going, start writing your letters to 9 Story!

I agree too that even the nicest people van make mistakes and even be thoughtless, like Brain was with Buster in "D.W. Swims with the Fishes," wonder if Brain ever captured Buster or gave up.

Amen on the us not being perfect thing. Not only are we not perfect, nothing we do is perfect.

Getting back to the nicest people making mistakes and hurting people. Even Arthur has been one of them, like when he hit D.W., and seasons later when he made fun of Sue Ellen. And James, the nicest, and probably shiest of the his preschool class turns into a monster and pushes one of his classmates and yells at her, that is, until Molly had to intervine and nip it in the bud. James had to have been the last character we would think to turn evil and he's so sweet and he rarely gets angry.

That's all I can think of. But it's nice to know I'm just a few hours away from watching the new epidodes.

I also wanted to leave a reply to this message. I like it when people reply my messages and I don't like to see messages or things unreplied to, so depending on what it's about, I'll leave a reply so that the message maker isn't feeling ignored or neglected.
