What I love so much about Hey Arnold! is that it introduced kids to so many different cultural and religious backgrounds without winking to the audience about it. Harold's Bar Mitzvah, for instance, was what first taught me about that ceremony and I found it fascinating because I didn't know any Jewish people as a child. The Christmas special taught me about the Vietnam War. The episode where Ernie wanted to date that large and lovely fashion model was a great story about body diversity. So many examples. The characters' diversity felt organic because it was simply a part of them we learned about as we got to know them, as you would when meeting someone in real life. Nowadays, it often seems vice-versa: Characters, especially ones in kids' TV shows, are written around diverse traits and therefore come across as pandering rather than genuine representation.

_Hey Arnold! _ was a cartoon ahead of its time and yet so subtly grounded in reality by its depiction of various concepts that most young people won't understand until they're old enough to in spite of some of the creative and outlandish antics, adventures, and actions done by the various characters. Even when I was a kid, I knew there was more to _Hey Arnold! _ than I was seeing and hearing, even tho I didn't get a lot of it back then. Now that I'm older, I see _Hey Arnold! _ with greater depth and understanding, and I praise the creators' work in making this one of Nickelodeon's most iconic and memorable cartoons

I just watched the episode of Arnold and Gerald making a documentary and they accidentally film a suspicious guy who puts a letter in a tree so they end up going on a crime investigation. And then Gerald asks the female employee if she knows anything about the case and he talks seductively. She then pauses a second and says to the guy 'I gotta go to the bathroom'.
Now, maybe it's far fetched and I do hope so because it's disgusting, but did that grown lady actually get. horny by a boy?

Hey Arnold! will go down in history as one of the most impactful, endearing and thoughtful cartoons ever made. I have been waiting years for creator Craig Bartlett to bring his singular visionary talents back to television. I love seeing videos like this, putting Arnold back into the spotlight he deserves

Kids couldn't believe something like this could happen, thats because it didn't and has been PROVEN that it was newspaper propaganda. please get your facts straight, its quite simple to look up. matter of fact, just look up Adam ruins Halloween, and midway down the tru tv page is the correct sources.

I was 21 when the show first aired. I also watched it in reruns at 1am. This show was really cool and I liked seeing characters that came from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and (in the case of Helga dysfunctional families)
I thought it made the characters much relatable. LOL.

Grandpa hanging out with Connie and Maria while both girls being underage. CREEPY.
Same with another Nicktoon - Rocko's Modern Life.
There's a joke that Rocko likes rainbows and everyone including his best friend Heffer was offended by that.
Both scenes aged horribly.

Vincent the Pigeon Man is so relatable among other characters. I don't even trust myself sometimes and so true with what he said that many were meant to be with other people while others are different, me included. I'm very different and meant to be behind the scenes.

Of course even animated shows like Hey Arnold would have their share of things that only adults would notice or pay attention too, I mean after all there's not a cartoon in history that doesn't have elements like that.

Helga's parents irritated me so much. They neglected her in favor of Olga all the time and even if they come to care about her in some episodes, it didn't last long.

Do NOT let kids watch any series of what only adults notice in any shows or movies! Thats meddling!

I wouldnt say its an adults only thing, but I was impressed the show got away with saying the word crap in a few episodes, considering it was meant to be aimed at kids

Hey Arnold was probably the very first Nick cartoon, that actually taught us a whole lot. Even real problems that other cartoons back then that would not tackle

To this show's credit, that sausage sign wasn't a dirty joke. It was from an episode about a food festival. It was literally an advertisement for sausage lmao

I like the Back to School episode but Phil was born in 1917 so he shoukd have dropped out of school in the 6th or 7th grade instead of the 4th grade.
