  Arthur (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although the series first aired in 1996, the original concept of the series was first conceived by Marc Brown in 1976.
Arthur originally started off as a children’s book series, which was illustrated and written by Brown.
Arthur appeared as a guest in hand puppet form in a 1999 episode of Mister Rogers Neighborhood (which Mister Rogers made a visit to Marc Brown's house, and later Arthur made a visit to the Neighborhood of Make Believe) and Mister Rogers appeared in an Arthur episode in animated form as an aardvark himself).

 Arthur's a tv star
Arthur Read may be an 8-year-old, glasses-wearing aardvark, but he thinks, acts, and feels like Brown did as a child, and his world closely resembles Brown's childhood world.
Arthur's house looks a lot like Brown's childhood house, his neighborhood - including the popular Sugarbowl soda parlor - is similiar to Brown's old neighborhood, and many of the "Arthur" characters are based on people Brown knew in Erie.
The TV series, which Brown closely oversees, is the top-rated children's show on PBS - beating "Barney" - and landing "Arthur" on the cover of TV Guide this week.

Originally the series was to have been located in the East End of London but it was found to be more convenient to shoot in South London so the location changed, but the patois remained that of the cockney influenced East End.
Arthur was always known as "Arfur" due to the cockney habit of pronouncing "th" as "f" and much of the flavour of the series came from the colourful slang, some traditional and some invented specially.
As the series went from strength to strength and the character of Arthur Daley captured the imagination of a generation, East London slang became trendy and cod cockneys (or mockneys) could be found throughout the country.

Once the syndicated series Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman had created a market for satirical soap operas, the networks rushed to the post with comical continuing "dramas" of their own.
Even before the series debuted, Soap was under attack from a vast array of "clean up TV" brigades, religious organizations, and self-styled social arbiters.
On the other hand, the series had scores of high-profile defenders who recognized Soap for what it truly was: A pungent lampoon of modern manners and mores, served up in a humorous and exaggerated fashion with no malice intended.

 Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Arthur C. Clarke
Despite his unquestioned status as the world's greatest living science fiction writer, it is not surprising that relatively few of Arthur C. Clarke's works have made their way to the screen—because most film narratives are character-driven, and human characters have always been of little interest to Clarke.
But the fact remains that human beings are tiny, evanescent creatures in a vast, ancient, and mysterious universe, and it is mean-spirited and short-sighted to dismiss those artists who choose, however unsatisfactorily, to ponder the implications of that undeniable situation.
Since the scripts that he wrote for the pioneering television series Captain Video—and even their titles—probably are forever lost, Clarke's talents as a screenwriter must be primarily evaluated by examining 2001—a film with precious little dialogue but enduring imaginative power, regularly voted by critics as one of the ten best films ever made.

Arthur was about the same as always; in many cases he was the center of the story as Tick is simply Tick and he's not prone to many problems that make for good plots.
The show was crippled from the start with poor support from Fox, though, and low budgets meant few villains and no combat scenes.
I really wish that the series had some more time to evolve; I felt that even with its shortcomings it could have developed into something great.

The dinosaur effects are not bad for a syndicated series though they are nowhere near the state of the art effects ILM created for the “Jurassic Park” films, but then again I don’t think any other CGI dinosaurs are though some do come close here and there.
There are compression artifacts, but since the series is very bright and colorful they tend to disappear and can easily be ignored.
