| '''PBS Kids Vote-A-Rama''' was an event on PBS Kids in 2002 featuring a marathon of three ''Arthur'' episodes voted by fans, followed by the premiere of ''Liberty's Kids''. The bumpers shown in-between episodes featured Arthur and Buster counting down the episodes and other things like that, but these bumpers are all lost.
