How many episodes of Arthur were produced?

Arthur produced 253 episodes during its television run.

The figure refers to half-hour episodes of the animated series, which aired across 25 seasons from 1996 to 2022. Because most broadcasts contain two separate approximately 11-minute stories, episode counts can be reported differently when people count segments rather than full half-hour programs. The series is commonly listed as having 253 episodes and 493 segments.

The number is also sometimes confused with the total including specials. Arthur had seven television specials, plus the CGI film Arthur’s Missing Pal, so adding every related production does not produce the standard series-episode total. The quiz’s answer uses the conventional count for the main television series.

Arthur premiered on October 7, 1996, and concluded on February 21, 2022. Its production changed hands over time: CINAR and Cookie Jar handled the earlier years, 9 Story Media Group produced later seasons, and Oasis Animation worked on the final seasons. Despite those changes, the show retained its central focus on Arthur Read, his family, friends, and life in Elwood City.
