1639: A Wonderful Kind Of Anniversary: ARTHUR Turns 30

It’s the 30th anniversary of the television broadcast debut of Arthur! In this episode, we hear from some of the key individuals who worked together to bring Marc Brown’s picture books to the television screen. Carol Greenwald, Kathy Waugh, Greg Bailey, Ken Scarborough, Peter Hirsch, Tolon Brown, and Marc Brown each share their original point of view about how the show was developed in the beginning, what made the writing of the show unique, and why the show has been such a success across generations. Arthur is a special show to DJ Bob and so many others who grew up watching it, and the 30-year milestone is one to celebrate with this commemorative episode.
