Beloved animated TV show Arthur may be nearly 20 years old, but we haven't forgotten how utopian it was: different species of anthropomorphic animals lived together in harmony.

There weren't even any commercials. Just "A Word From Us Kids."

The trusty people of the internet must be feeling nostalgic lately because screenshots of Arthur, Buster, Francine, D.W. and friends have been surfacing across swaths of Twitter -- with some not-safe-for-school commentary.

However, some people got a bit carried away with screenshots of aardvark siblings Arthur and D.W. and went much further in a NSFW direction (like here and here). Not exactly the fun, relatable tweets people were laughing along to as before.

Come on, Arthur fans. No need to go that route. There are plenty of Arthur-approved memes we can enjoy. Open up your eyes, open up your ears. Get together and make things better by working together.
