Includes three great Arthur episodes:
The Return of the King: A field trip to the Medieval Fair pits Arthur's class against another led by Ratburn's super-tough mentor, Mr. Pryce-Jones. Arthur and the gang suffer defeat after humiliating defeat against the smarter, stronger competitors. Can Arthur save the day--and be crowned king?
D.W. Goes to Washington: D.W.'s on her way to Washington. (Someone should've called ahead and warned the government.) She's bored, bored, bored by it all until she gets lost during a tour of the White House. A kind employee reunites her with her family and invites them a ll in for pizza. (Come to think of it, the guy sure has a nice office. And doesn't he look a little... familiar?)
Sleep No More: Have you ever been so excited that you couldn't sleep? When the gang visits Pizza Paula's, Buster is convinced that the all-you-can-eat contest--free pizza for life--is his destiny. But how can he possibly win such an important contest without any sleep?

"The TV series sparkles with wit, humor, and superb artwork, imparting life lessons easily absorbed by its target audience of 4- to 8-year olds."--Moira McCormick, Billboard
"Arthur and company--his best friend Buster the rabbit, his athletic friend Francine the monkey, school bully Binky Barnes the bulldog, and others--strike the perfect balance between fun and leaning while setting off comforting chords of recognition in viewers."--TV Guide (1996's Top 10 New Kids' Show article)
"Sure, it's supposed to be a kid show. But who knew an aardvark and his animal pals could be so human, charming and funny--for viewers of all ages!
--Lynn Elber and Frazier Moore, Associated Press, in their January 2000 Best of the Decade Television article
