Hey Arnold! is a much-loved and popular Nicktoon on Nickelodeon. The whole basis of the show is Helga's love for Arnold, but a lot of episodes and storylines focus on Arnold and his friends. Hey Arnold! shows a variety of different characters - even the background characters have 1 or 2 episodes on themselves. Arnold is a good person and tries to do things right. People at his school seek him for advice and see him as their own advisor.


Characters:

Arnold - Arnold is the main character of Hey Arnold!, Arnold is very helpful to others but gets too much into their business sometimes. Helga loves Arnold more than anyone else. But Arnold doesnt know it. Arnold's last name isn't revealed in any episode, but will be in the 2004 sequel, Hey Arnold 2! Arnold's nickname is "Football Head".

Gerald - Gerald is Arnold's cool best friend and the all-time keeper for the ancient legends of Arnold's neighborhood.

Helga - Helga is the meanest kid in Arnold's neighborhood for one reason - she loves Arnold! And no one else knows that! Helga's best friend and sidekick is Phoebe.

Harold - Harold is big and fat bully, and could swallow 50 Mr. Fudgie-bars whole! He's mostly hanging out with Stinky or Sid. Harold also thinks hes so tough but he always cries for his mommie.

Phoebe - Phoebe is the Smartie! She's very useful when Helga needs help with something... or needs her to do Helga's homework. Phoebe loves Gerald, so does Gerald but its hard to tell what's gonna happen. Phoebe also knows Helga's big-deep-dark secret about Arnold, but is positive she won't let it out.

Rhonda - Rhonda is the rich/cool girl. She's always depending on people to have a good fashion scene, though it never works. Rhonda is best friends with Nadine. Nadine likes everything the opposite of Rhonda and so does Rhonda but they still work out their fights.

Stinky - Though his name is Stinky, he's really not. This farm-yard boy is taller than any other and is always sharing his love about lemon puddin'.

Sid - Sid is always pessimistic about everything. He is very gullible and will believe anything anyone says. He's best friends with Stinky and Harold.

Eugene - Eugene is the clutz! Whether he turns a good day into a nasty storm, he's very optimistic about everything. He's also known as a geek to many others.

Grandpa and Grandma (Phil and Pookie) - Arnold's "substitute parents" are the craziest, most loving "substitute Parents" a kid could want! They're also Arnold's grandparents.

Oskar - Oskar is a resident of the boarding house that Arnold lives in. He loves money (but relies on his wife Susie for it), he can be very lazy at times.

Susie - Susie is Oskar's wife. She mainly does all the cooking, cleaning, and works since Oskar has only a paper route, and can be irratted by that sometimes.

Ernie - Ernie also lives in the boarding house and is a construction worker. His room his filled with blocks, each telling a story. Ernie is very short, but has a very big heart.

Mr. Hyunh - Mr. Hyunh is an asian man who came to the boarding house from China during Vietnam. He has a daughter and also a very good voice.

Mr. Green - Mr. Green owns the meat shop called "Green Meats". He's always there to help, and sell meat of course.

Curly - Curly is the cookoo one. He's always crazy like one time he locked himself in the principle's office and threw dodgeballs at people. Crazy, huh?

Ms. Vitello - Ms. Vitello is the very old, nice, and tender owner of the flower shop on Arnold's block.

Big Bob (Helgas Father) - Big Bob owns a beeper shop called Big Bobs Beepers. He is a bossy meanie(where Helga gets it from).

Arnold's Mom and Dad - From the episodes "Parents Day" and "The Journal", Arnold's parents write in a journal about all the adventures they had in the wild, saving people's lives and then having Arnold. From what everyone knows, they've never came back to where they went.

  Okay, so if those seriously anti-21st century shows want to see some justice brought back to Nickelodeon, this is how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLdg2YGnpPU On the video, it would show you 2 links which would lead to HA! campaigns. Don't lose hope yet (: I mean, 'Futurama', which i think closed down in production 5 years (like HA!) has been revived. Oh, and don't bother trying to force and annoy Nick into making more HA! episodes. I doubt it would work. So, let's just all try our best to get nick's attention without annoying them. Lol, hoped i made sense there ;x but either way, check out that video. It may be our chance to redeem HA! less «

  one of the best cartoons of the 90's hide « show »

  Hey Arnold! was one of my favorite shows growing up. This show about a football-heading kid in the fourth grade with the maturity of a 40-year old was so funny. Arnold lives with his quite odd yet loving grandparents in their boarding house. the reason this show was so successful wasnt just because of a great main character but because there were so many great supporting characters. Grandpa, Grandma, Harold, Stinky, Sid, Brainy, Curly, Nadine, Rhonda, eugene, ernie, mr. hynn, oscar and susie, lila, Big Patty, Mr. Green the butcher, Bob and Muriel Patacki, Stoop Kid, and many more. the best of these supporting characters has to be Helga Patacki a mean girl with a talent for poetry and a secret burning passion for Arnold, Phoebe, Helga's brilliantly sweet friend and sidkick, Mr. Simmons the peace loving nurturing 4th grade teacher at PS 118, and Gerald, Arnold's cool smooth best friend. these characters combined with years of hilarious storylines made one of the best shows of the 90's.

  5 Mediocre

  Well,it's maybe fine to me. hide « show »

  It's maybe a show which I don't like,but it's fine to me.Well,it was fine with some of the best episodes ever.I can see that it's a very good classic like Rugrats and Rocko's Modern Life.They are both very good classics like this one and I could see that they don't show those shows anymore.Well,I'm not saying that this show is very terrible,it's just that I dont like it,but I think it's very fine to me.I grade this and those shows a C because it was pretty much fine shows and it was better than those classic Cartoon Network shows on there.

  Amazing show, football head. hide « show »

  Ok, So this is a show about a boy named Arnold who lives in an Apartment building with his grandparents, a very Crazy gramda, and a almost normal grandpa. Arnold and his friends/neighbors/schoolmates always get into some sort of trouble in each episode. These people consist of Helga(arnolds secret admierer), Harold, Eugine, Sid, Stinky, Pheobe, And many others. Even though Hey Arnold may be a "old show" to some viewers out there, I still think it was an amazing show for its time. not to mention the variety and attitudes of characters. Overall I think Hey Arnold was a grat show.

  9.5 Superb

  A show that i watched as a child . hide « show »

  I remember this show " hey arnold ! " when i was a child , it used to be on nick ( something ) and is a all time classic , everyone i know used to watch it when they were around 10 years old . The whole show was about a boy called Arnold , and his life living in a boarding house with his granparents . My favourite was Arnold because he was the main character also how can't you like a " football head " . Though i haven't watched it in some time , i think many children around the 10 years old mark will love this show .

  An all time favorite from Nick's Golden Age. hide « show »

  If you don't know Arnold than plain and simple: you weren't a ninities chid. But for those of you who weren't (and I don't hold it against you) this was a show about a group of 4th graders hanging out. THe main focus was the title character Arnold, an advice giving good hearted, orphaned kid, and his friend Helga who although bullied him, harbored a secret, obessive crush on him. Other more minor characters had episodes dedicated to them too, and all the characters evolved through the course of the show. Hey Arnold was really popular and swpaned a theaterical movie, however the idiots at Viacom decided to release it around the same time as Lilo & Stitch (don't get me wrong Stitch was a good movie, I'm complaining about Viacom, not Stitch). Because of this stupidity, the sequal, The Jungle Movie, that was supposed to end the series on a conclusive note, was never produced. Hey Arnold was undoubtly one of my favorite shows when I was younger and I wish that Nickelodeon would air it more. Even more than that I wish they'd finish The Jungle Movie (maybe not as a theratical release but a made for TV reunion show type thing). The VERY few times Arnold is still on it's fun to watch for the adult subtext and themes that went over your head as a kid. I seriously wish Nick would just kick the likes of The Naked Brothers Band off the air and put this on instead. This great show were the characters were likable, the plot lines had a point, and that represents a time when cartoons were worth watching. Bring it back viacom!
