Hey Arnold! (1996 - 2004)

Hey Arnold! follows the adventures of Arnold and his friends, most of them taking place in their neighbourhood. What made the cartoon series a success were the range of stereotypical characters that appear in the show.

Arnold with the happy-go-lucky personality would encounter problems and scenarios that he needed to overcome. He is usually accompanied by his best friend Gerald, an African American with a funky afro and classmate Helga, who is seen constantly bullying Arnold to hide her secrecy of having a crush on him.

There are many other classmates that appear throughout the series. The more memorable ones include Binky, the bully of the show of Jewish descent who also has a soft spot behind his mean demeanor, Phobe who is of Japanese origin and the smartest in the class, Eugene, known for his nerdiness and Lila, a farm girl whom Arnold has a crush on, just to name a few.

I was not aware that they had made episodes for the series up to 2004 and since having enjoyed watching the show so much, I'm going to be getting myself a copy of the series to wax nostalgic.

    This show definitely lives in my heart only through nostalgia. If I watched them today I think I would get bored as hell, sorry to say. I do love the football head though, just not as much as I did before.

    The show wasn't that bad for a kids cartoon. These days, the cartoons are just crap. :(

    I remember when Arnold's colored friend got his first apartment. He quickly realized that life isn't so easy on your own. When I saw that I was only about 8 and thought it was the coolest thing ever!
