8This AnimatedSeries on Creator/NickAtNite, based on the popular book by Creator/BillCosby, concerns high school teacher Arthur Bindlebeep; his wife, Norma; their three children, Angie, Roy and Katherine, and the family dog, Guinness. The stories tend to be gentler than those in other animated {{Sit Com}}s, and there's always a lesson to be learned at the end. The show ran for two seasons from 2004 to 2005.
