6th Grade Girls: Two girls from the sixth grade who are tired of the way that their boyfriends treat them, decide to take Arnold and Gerald to the school dance, but only to make their boyfriends jealous. An excellent episode and the first one that I got since Arnold's Hat. The plot was interesting than funny. I only laughed at least 4 times such as Arnold and Gerald thinking they're in sixth grade, the girls' boyfriends (well, up until near the end, but I'll not take off points), Arnold and Gerald dancing, and the ending (kinda nice). Overall an excellent episode. 10/10

The Baseball: Arnold's favorite baseball player is playing his last game, so he decides to go and see his last game. The only problem is that he winds up with terrible seats.Another excellent episode I liked/ laughed at Arnold getting a homerun, Arnold stealing a 50, Arnold and Gerald trying to find a seat, but it turns out that they have terrible seats, Arnold getting the ball, the report, Arnold giving Mickey the baseball, then they play ball. Overall excellent episode. 10/10moreless

Great episode.

8.8

By dumb_person1, Mar 25, 2007

This episode is a good one because Arnold and Gerald go to a dance with some 6th grade girls and they dance with them. I liked the part when they dance because it was really funny and I didn't like the part when the guys threw juice at them because that is a bad thing. The other episode I liked it better because it was quite sad the way Arnold's favorite baseball player in having his final game but it was in a part somewhat happy at the end because Arnold plays catch with him and that was the best part in the episode.moreless

really cute episode

8.5

By catnape, Nov 21, 2006

i liked this episode. it was great, and i thought the ending was really cute and encouraging for the boys. (Arnold and Gerold) Not to mention funny with it's motif "get over here." Very funny. Umm, this episode wasn't very special though, it was cool and interesting, but that's how all average episodes are for Hey Arnold. so yeah, 8.5 for average. And very very cute. Also sad though, this episode is one in which Mickey K'line quit's baseball. So preety funny first half and preety sad second half. Umm, there isn't much to say about it, but I got my hundred words so. . . Oh, and they add twist to the song in this epe. It's a has a baseball ring to it.moreless

TRIVIA (7)
ADD TRIVIA
- A freeze frame is used when we get a close up shot of Maria's and Connie's boyfriends angrily watching Arnold and Gerald hang with the two girls.
  EDIT SHARE
- Near the end of "The Baseball", Sheena suddenly disappears right out of thin air.
  EDIT SHARE
- Arnold's hat stays on his head all the time, even when he does a backflip off the diving board. How did he make it stick to his head? And what kind of life guard would allow you to leave the hat on anyway?
  EDIT SHARE
- Maria is standing right in front of Arnold when she is writing her address on his hand. When Arnold looks at his hand after that, he can read it normally. So does that mean that Maria can write upside down very easily?
  EDIT SHARE
- Just before Maria signalizes the boys to come over, the straps on Connie's bathing suit suddenly disappear.
  EDIT SHARE
- Next to Arnold's "THIS IS NOT MONEY" jar is "Donna Smith's Spelling Book"; Donna Smith is the show's production manager.
  EDIT SHARE
- Goof: While walking down the stairs, Maria only has three toes on each foot; she has four at the pool.
