WYES and PBS KIDS have special episodes of ARTHUR and SUPER WHY! heading your way!
Joan Rivers reprises her role as Francine’s grandmother, Bubby, for a special episode of ARTHUR – just in time for Father’s Day! “Grandpa Dave's Memory Album” premieres Friday, June 15 at 6am and 3pm on WYES.
Arthur’s Grandpa Dave is moving closer to the family and the kids are thrilled. But something isn’t quite right; he’s forgetting all sorts of things. Francine’s grandmother (voiced by Joan Rivers) is on hand to help the kids understand that Grandpa Dave loves them just as much as he always has, even if he has trouble with his memory.
AND....
The biggest adventure of the summer is here with an hour-long reading adventure (two new back-to-back episodes). SUPER WHY! Around the World Adventure premieres Friday, June 15 at 8am, 11am and 2pm.
The Super Readers solve puzzling pictures, mysterious maps, and secret codes!
Two new episodes of the award-winning series created and produced by Out of the Blue Enterprises – “Super Why and the Around the World Adventure” and “Super Why and Naila and the Magic Map” – take the Super Readers around the world in back-to-back adventures in the SUPER WHY! Around the World Adventure. Both episodes will also be available online at PBSKIDS.org/video and on the free PBS KIDS Video App for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
“Super Why and the Around the World Adventure” – With the help of their teacher, Wyatt and his friends have contacted a girl from another school over the computer and are wondering where she lives.

“Super Why and Naila and the Magic Map” – Pig and his friends are playing when they find what looks like an Egyptian treasure map, but they can’t make out the symbols!
