Arthur shall return  Cinar Corporation and WGBH Boston have
announced that Emmy award-winning ARTHUR, PBS' top-rated
children's series, will return with 10 new programs and 65
encore broadcasts in its fourth season, premiering October 1999.
This daily animated series is based on the award-winning
children's books by author Marc Brown, who is also ARTHUR's
creative producer. ARTHUR's fourth season begins with, not one,
but two musical guest stars: classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and
jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman who "appear" as themselves in the
season's opener MY MUSIC RULES. Through a series of mix-ups,
Arthur and D.W. invite both Ma and Redman to perform at the
Elwood City Library's music series. If that weren't enough, both
musicians agree to play, which causes a huge argument between
the kids over which music is better, classical or jazz. Arriving
at the concert, Ma and Redman must settle the score. The finale
- a spirited cello and sax rendition of that ARTHUR "favorite,"
CRAZY BUS - shows kids that it's ok
