I was chastised by people boycotting Amazon for advertising on Breitbart. But I thought it was one of the funniest shows I've seen for awhile.

Maybe executive? I dunno but I like it. I liked the old series too. And the cartoon. But I never read the comic.


I had to Google to make sure new Arthur wasn't related to Leonard from Big Bang. Apparently not but he could sure play his brother.

I kept doing a double take, wondering if I was watching Big Bang Theory!

At times, it looked like Griffin Newman was mimicking Galecki's mannerisms.

1. It was too short at only six episodes (five if you consider the length of time between the pilot and the remainder)

2. Not sure about the comic books, but I've never see Arthur so emotionally fragile and traumatized, it took some of the enjoyment of the show away from me.

3. Still trying to decide if the Tick really exists or if Arthur is a latent mutant that subconsciously created him to help with his mental issues and obsessions.

I still enjoyed it, put these are the spoilerish free issues that I had.
