I'd have to say that my favorite children's educational programming is Arthur. We watch it on PBS via Directtv satellite deals nearly every day. When the kids are watching Arthur it's hard not to sit down and join them.
Arthur is a show based on the books written by author Marc Brown. It's great. The characters have unique personalities just like a regular group of school-aged friends. They share good times and bad together and try to make it fun.
Arthur is surrounded by his friends Buster, Brain, Francine, Muffy, Binky and more. There is the bully, the brain, the best friend, the tomboy,the rich kid and any other ordinary children that you might come across on a school playground. The show is based around Arthur and his family. We get to experience real childhood situations through a child's eyes.
Marc Brown makes it fun to watch Arthur lose his first tooth, get a new baby sister, learn about lying, bullying and friendships. Not to mention Arthur's little sister D.W. she's always getting herself into sticky situations or bothering Arthur. Our kids are able to laugh at and with Arthur and relate to what he's going through. Sometimes it even leads to conversations about school and friends. Arthur is good, wholesome fun for the whole family.
