The everyday adventures of 8-year-old Arthur Reed… In school, he’s under the eyes of the stern, no-nonsense 3rd grade teacher Emil Ratburn III; while at home he endures his little sister D.W.’s nagging, plays with his dog Pal; while trying to find the time to watch TV and do his homework. Yet the aardvark mostly stumbles into misadventures and misunderstandings with his closest friends: best buddy Buster, competitive Francine, rich and spoiled Muffy, Alan Powers (better known as The Brain) and would-be-bully Binky.
