Re: Arthur
Such a sweet show. Full of good moral lessons, but never pedantic. Characters who were unique yet still similar enough to each other to keep it believable. So many kids shows try for that tone and fail.
Having said that, my eldest rarely watched it as a kid and my daughter hated it. Maybe it was like a kids' animation version of a "critics' band"?

Great theme by Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers. They had episode about kids with autism called When Carl Met George.

I'm sure he'll find work though. He's musically gifted.
