Arthur was a beloved children's and one of the longest animated sitcoms of all time, only behind the Simpsons and South Park.

Both of those shows are still running, but Arthur ended in February of 2022. The episode "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone" aired on May 13th 2019, just a couple of years before the show ended for good.

After the creator of Spongebob died, the Jews immediately made him gay.

For his part, Arthur creator Marc Brown expressed pride in the support that the episode received from the majority of the fandom, who saw it as a great example of properly doing an LGBT portrayal in a kids’ show.

Addressing the controversy, he said,

"I had a wonderful friend in Fred Rogers [of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood] …. What he taught me was how to use television to be helpful to kids and families. That's kind of where I come from and that's what we try to do with the show."

Hmmm...

While growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania, with his three sisters, Brown was told many stories by his grandmother Thora. This inspired Brown to write stories of his own in the later years of his life. An example of this was the "borrowing" of his 7th grade algebra teacher's name Mr. Rathbun for the character Mr. Ratburn.
