These two episodes from the current fourteenth season of the PBS show Arthur really stand out. I felt that some people here in this community will find them interesting.

The subtitles are occasionally hilarious. "A hot and Arab land" for "a hot and arid land" is my favorite, with "Selacamp" for coelacanth a close second.

I just love that this show is still ON. Best show ever. <3333333 It's such a great children's show.

Also: girls totally lack iconic role models. Boys have Superman and Batman and G.I. Joe, but girls lack definitive badass role models.

I think girls look up to BRATZ, with their lipstick and glitter. That's pretty aspirational. Oh, yeah, and BOYS!!!

(Dear Mattel: we're still waiting for our Toph, Suki, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee action figures.

And that imposter doesn't count as Katara.)

Jeez, that white Katara action figure is going for a lot of money on Amazon.com

The show premiered in 1996. Ah, the 90s.

Just like any other long-running series, the characters haven't aged a day despite having several summer breaks and winters. For some reason, too, the show takes place two years into the future. It's 2012 in their world for some reason.
