If you were born in the '90s, chances are you spent countless hours watching the television show Arthur, which followed a lovable aardvark dressed in a signature yellow sweater (probably Hood by Air, tbh) getting into mischief with his friends. The PBS TV series began in 1996 and quickly became a staple for kids nationwide who just couldn't get enough of Arthur, Buster, Francine, "The Brain," Muffy, and D.W.
