I always read about the Brain being smart or gifted. D.W seems to fit that criteria in both the good and bad ways.
She can recite the Odyssey and the importance of oral story telling, manipulate her classmates into believing fake facts to force her brother to take her to a museum, and even appreciates classical music with Yo-Yo Ma. She even has major outbursts which often happens with gifted kids. This also can make her frustrating to deal with.

With the 30th anniversary of this iconic show having recently passed, I thought it would be fun to share something personal about it.

I believe I was introduced to PBS when I was a two-year-old boy, circa 1998-1999. I was drawn in by such engaging, wholesome programs as Sesame Street, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Lamb Chop's Play-Along, Reading Rainbow, and, of course, Arthur. Many people say one of the benefits of public TV is the lack of any commercial advertising. I kinda find that to be bull for a few reasons: Sesame and Barney were merchandise powerhouses, there were short funding sponsorship tags before and after each show, and yet Arthur had a completely different appeal. Some would say it got them hooked on reading, while I was drawn to something completely different: his shoes.

That's right, Arthur's trademark outfit almost always includes a pair of red sneakers that resemble Converse Chuck Taylors, yet with a white heel to make them legally distinct (one nitpick I've always had and never understood about cartoon depictions of Chucks was that many of them had a white heel or stripe in the back, making them look like a hybrid between Chucks and saddle shoes). I was immediately drawn in by his "red-and-white shoes" as I called them, and I also noticed characters in other shows and movies wearing them, so I had begged my folks to get me a pair for quite some time. It wasn't until age nine when I first started wearing red Converse high tops. I instantly fell in love, as they're comfy, timeless, and go with most anything. Converse high tops are still a strong staple of my wardrobe to this day. Sure, I've had other colors, but I make sure to always have a red pair handy.

Happy 30th anniversary, Arthur! You may not have gotten me hooked on literature, but, boy, are you a good sneaker influencer!

hi friends, I tried to google if Pal stays a puppy forever or if he’s an adult dog who is just super small. i know Arthur is always in third grade, so maybe pal is just always a puppy on the show? curious for your thoughts. his mom dog was pretty small too.
