Trivia

When Arnold and his friends visit Wheezin Ed, Sheena's Uncle Earl asks for a payment to take them over to Elk Island by boat. He asks for one dollar each, two dollars for Harold, fifty cents per shovel, and five cents security deposit. If Arnold and his six friends paid for the ride and shovels, it would come out to $8 + $4 + $0.40 = $12.40 for taking them to the island and twelve dollars he made in profit if they were able to give back the security deposit.

Goofs

In "Harold's Kitty", we hear Harold's mother pound on his bedroom door to warn about cat messes, yet in the same shot (and in subsequent shots) the door is wide open.

User Reviews

What an entertainment

I am from Berlin and 20 years old. I have seen "hey arnold" several times on Super RTL (a cartoon channel). I just liked it. Especially the episode with the "stoop kid" is so funny any intelligent. There is a kid who can not leave his stoop. My god. This episode rules. Just watch it. I liked it. I cant explain more cause i dont know how to explain it. You will remember that episode if you are a fan of this cartoon.
