ARTHUR is based on the best-selling children's books by Marc Brown. The series revolves around an eight year-old aardvark, his four year-old sister DW, and their family and friends. ARTHUR is a show about being a kid, exploring the world, and finding your place in it. It's about kids finding inner strengths, learning to make choices for themselves, taking responsibility for them and of course, having fun. In each episode, Arthur and his gang guide us through stories that deal with real "kid issues" -- timeless difficulties and joys that all kids experience. The series also models the joys and rewards of literacy by presenting the many ways kids and adults incorporate reading and writing into their lives. Above all, ARTHUR is a comedy that tells its stories from a kids' point of view, never moralizing or talking down to them.

Clothing is an essential need, but in America, clothes are so abundant they are given away. From seamstresses in textile mills using organic materials, to offshore fast fashion with man-made fabrics, the way we get our looks has changed drastically. Gabe meets with celebrity designer Jeff Garner to find out the true cost of our fast-evolving fashion. Gem Sweater sensation Leslie Hall guest stars.
From shacks to sprawling mansions, we've reshaped the homes we live in - which changed the shape of our lives. We explore the origins of the suburbs, the rise of American home architecture, and the radical changes that happened on the inside. Gabe examines how 3D-printed houses can help the housing crisis, and how the American Dream of owning a home often comes with its fair share of nightmares.
What does it take to keep track of the climate around us? Or to know how to dress for the day? From superstitions to science, The Weather Channel Meteorologist Jim Cantore explains our fascination with the forecast and his passion for experiencing the weather live.

In 1825, William Jenkins did the unthinkable. He crossed the rugged Appalachians to establish a southern-style plantation on the wilderness fringe of western Virginia. At its peak in the mid-1800s, the sprawling estate employed around eighty slaves working seventeen hundred acres of rich Ohio River bottomland. Being loyal Virginians, the family cast its lot with the Confederacy during the Civil War. Their actions would trigger a series of fateful events that ended the plantation lifestyle and nearly destroyed the family's once-proud legacy. Over a century later all that remained of this massive enterprise was the family home. Narrated by Ann Magnuson.
