The eighth season of Arthur premiered on PBS in September 2003. This season was funded by Libby's Juicy Juice, Post Alpha-Bits, Chuck E. Cheese's, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and Viewers Like You.
Most voice actors returned for this season from Season 7. This was also the last season distributed by Cinar, before the company was renamed to Cookie Jar Entertainment, and the last to include edited captions (CC2).
Like in Season 7, Teddy Grahams replaced Post Alpha-Bits in 2004, remaining as a temporary underwriter until 2004, when it left the show permanently with Libby's Juicy Juice, and Dannon Danimals replaced Rhodes 60-Second Cinnamon Rolls in 2006.
