Me and every kid I knew loved this show growing up and the rich characters that make it one of the best.
The show revolves around Arnold a 4th grader and his friends, the adventures they have and the problems they come across and eventually overcome. The show was extremely smart and captured the ten year old that watched every day after long hard hours of school.
One thing that still surprises me is the Arnold character, he seems to be so cool and collective, his voice always on the same mellow tone its always been and his awesome bedroom that every kid wanted....That was the main attraction. Arnold.
Looking back the show had some great characters who were of different ethnic race and every character was valuable with a hidden story to tell. I especially loved the tenants that live with Arnold, each with a different quirky side...and most of all Arnolds friends...Gerald,Harold, Sid...the list is endless and most of all Helga Pataki....the bully with the crush.
Personally I loved the following episodes, 'Arnolds Christmas'...very sweet and touching when Mr.Hyunh is reunited with his daughter. There are gems in the show but I don't know the episodes so I'll just give a brief detail....The one with the headless horsemen....The one were they play football against the 5th graders....and pretty much all of 'em...
The writers deserve the credit for creating a great grown up cartoon that lives up to anything currently on TV.....
