Arnold's Hat:An obsessed Helga steals Arnold's hat to complete her shrine to Arnold, which is hidden in the back of her closet. But, she notices how miserable Arnold is without his hat, and decides to give it back to him. I liked/laughed the beginning, Grandma's appearance, Helga's plan, Helga's mouth stuck on the Arnold stuff, Arnold watching hats, flashback of how Arnold got his hat, Grandpa thinking Arnold about the inside, and the ending. Overall, excellent episode. 10/10

Stoop Kid:Arnold's football lands on the stoop of "Stoop Kid," - a bully who has lived his whole life on his stoop, and is highly protective of it. But, when it's Arnold's fault that Stoop Kid becomes the joke of the city, he must help Stoop Kid face his biggest fear - leaving his stoop for the first time. Parts I liked/laughed the football landing on Stoop Kid's house, Gerald telling the story of Stoop Kid, montage of Arnold helping Stoop Kid leaving the stoop, Stoop Kid leaving the stoop, and Stoop Kid chasing Harold. My only problem was the kids making fun of Stoop Kid. So overall, superb episode. 9/10moreless

its about some guy named stoop kid is afraid of leaving his stoop (for some reason) and arnold gives great advice to the kid and in the end the stoop kid conquared his fear and got out of his stoop everybody was shocked. i realy liked this episode cause arnold gives very good advice to this kid and the funniest part of this episode was in the ending when some kid (forgot the name) mad fun of stoop kid not expecting to get out of his stoop then stoop kid got out and said "hey fat boy im gonig to roll you around town!" and then the kid was running before this was my favorite episode in the series and it still is!moreless

Great episode.

"Superb"

By dumb_person1, Mar 20, 2007

This episode was great and a very special one because in it appeared a person who was called Stoop kid who was afraid of leaving his home and walking downstairs. I think this episode was a good one and the way Arnold gave advice to Stoop Kid to outcome of his fear of stoops in my opinion was a good thing that he did that. I didn't like the way the people laughed at Stoop Kid because it insulted him. Also the other episode was good and was about Arnold's hat. I liked the part when Helga took the hat and took it to her shrine of Arnold because it was really funny that part and this episode deserves it's respect in many ways.moreless
