Das Subway Both of these episodes are classics that many people remember from the show. The Subway episode was entertaining, as Arnold and the Gang venture home from the movies but have no other means of getting home but taking the subway after dark. Gerald warns the crew to stay above ground when the sun goes down. The group still goes anyways and end up stuck on the subway underground with some other people. A blind man, a homeless man, a psychiatrist, and others. Arnold's grandma comes to the rescue to get the power running back on the train at the end, and everyone despite their differences celebrate their company. Overall 10/10

Wheezin' Ed

Kind of reminds me of the Goonies but much shorter. I wish this episode was a full 30 minutes, but hey it was still enjoyable. The crew explores a cave on Elk island, after being bored playing games on the boardwalk. The group encounter a couple of goons. (Oscar's friends) who have created counterfeit pennies located at the bottom of the cave. The kids run out, and the cops get the crooks. The kids then regret going to the cave. 8.5/10moreless

TRIVIA (10)
ADD TRIVIA
- Strangely, the subway tunnel only had one track for cars. An actual subway tunnel should have two tracks, one to go to a station and one to leave a station.
  EDIT SHARE
- Stinky does not appear in this episode. Sid does not appear in "Das Subway".
  EDIT SHARE
- You think you've seen Morrie and Vic before? You're right, the two crooks played cards with Oskar in Arnold as cupid.
  EDIT SHARE
- Where did the kids get their flash lights from? From Earl? If so, why did he have only one shovel?
  EDIT SHARE
- Although the subway is said to be dangerous, Grandma doesn't mind that the kids want to take it when Arnold tells her on the phone.
  EDIT SHARE
- The title of the episode might remind you of the movie 'Das Boot'.
  EDIT SHARE
- In the scene where Arnold's calling Grandma on the phone, you can see a poster behind Arnold with Tucker Railroad written on it. Tuck Tucker was actually a storyboard director for this episode.
  EDIT SHARE
- The sun is well above the horizon when they leave the theater, but it sets less than 30 seconds later.
  EDIT SHARE
- Real subways don't constantly sound their horns as they travel through the tunnels. A few subway systems have the trains blow their horns when leaving and entering tunnels.
  EDIT SHARE
- When the hobo starts singing on the subway, there is a sign on the door that says "door" and below it "puerto." If this is a reference to the Spanish word for door, it is incorrect. The Spanish word for door is "puerta," not "puerto."

- (Sid & Rhonda play bottle toss, Rhonda throws a ball at the top bottle but it was barely knocked down) Sid: You throw like a girl, man. (Sid throws the ball to the wall right next to the stack of bottles) Rhonda: Well you throw like a little shrimp with stringy hair and big ears and your hat on backwards. Sid: No, I don't.
  EDIT SHARE
- Arnold: We could take the crosstown bus. Helga: You mean THAT one? (The bus goes right by them without stopping) Harold: Well, we could walk. Helga: WALK? It'll take days! We'll freeze to death! We'll be eaten by pigeons, or worse... eaten by RATS! I hate rats!
  EDIT SHARE
- Helga: (Screaming) Ahhh! It's wheezin' Ed! AHH!
  EDIT SHARE
- Hobo: (Repeated line) GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
  EDIT SHARE
- Helga: Nope, no subway for me. Not no way, not no how. I am not taking the subway. (scene changes) I can't believe I'm taking the subway.
  EDIT SHARE
- Vic: (Upon seeing the Kids) Hey, You punks! What do You think You're doing? (Kids gasp.) Sid: (Screams) It's wheezin' Ed! And... and some other guy!

- The episode "Wheezin' Ed" is available on home VHS on HEY ARNOLD! URBAN ADVENTURES.
  EDIT SHARE
- The two criminals, Vic and Morrie from "Downtown as Fruits," return.
  EDIT SHARE
- Even if the counterfeiters hadn't been caught, the coins they made were only pennies, and not designed well either.
  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS

  EDIT SHARE
