Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
25 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 13 minutes each).
What might put you off
Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

The show revolves around the lives of 8-year-old Arthur Read, an anthropomorphic aardvark, his friends and family, and their daily interactions with each other.
