yeah that is pretty much why it gets streamed a lot. hey arnold is a motherfucker of excellence.

I wish we had another cartoon like Hey! Arnold.

I was watching hey arnold episodes on youtube and they really made me appreciate them a bit more and raged that it "ended on a hopeful note that never gets resolved" fucking nickelodeon and them wanting us to forget the show ever existed.

the sound track was the best part

The Christmas special will always make me tear up.

I always liked how the show didnt try to be 'wacky' odd things happened yes but they were seemed like some one said "This is so weird it'll be crazy and ythe kidz will love it!"
It was a nice show.

It's essentially the spiritual successor to Peanuts.

all shows on nick and CN are HERP DERP now

all kids in america are HERP DERP and love to watch people run into walls and HERP DERP 16 hours a day on tv and get fat

motherfucking rugrats went on a god damn adventure every fucking episode. Every now and then it would rain or for some reason they wouldnt be able to play or someones lazy or something, and they still have a fucking adventure. They are also fuckin babies that are intelligent and speak almost good english. That show made me want to go out and have a fuckin adventure every day.

motherfucking HERPDERP fuckin HERPS and DERPS daily. No matter what they do its fuckin dumb farts and DERP. It makes me want to HERPDERPTHISSOFUNNYDERP. HERP DERP.

>>15565995

Oh man. I think someone needs to lie down.

Helga - Arnold
was the best thing that happend with HA
watched it only because of damn Helga, she is awesome! :D

Hey Arnold is probably the best cartoon series for me
still watch it occasionally
the show was awesome!
too bad nowadays shows suck ass.. like someone mentioned above.. its all about HURR DURR now..
i miss HA

>>15565859

It really really is now that I think about it.

>>15565995
I only want more cartoons and less tween-sitcom stuff with questionable morals and bad characters.

Odd coincidence.

I've been rewatching this the past few days, too. It was a favorite of mine growing up, I love it.

I enjoy watching again now that I'm an adult. There were really some things I couldn't appreciate when I was young, I guess. The voice actors, kids and adults, were all so terrific. Helga's, Grandpa's, Mr. Simmons' all stand out. The characters, too, of course.

The emotional depth of the characters, their differences ... yeah, it's a kid's show, but it really stood out. Well written and just plain fun.

The one thing that makes me sad ... episodes like the one where they band together to save the old tree, the movie where they save the neighborhood... I was one of those kids who really believed that if you stand up for what you believe in, you can make a difference. The silly ideals this show taught me mean a lot to me. That even kids could change things.

Now I'm an adult, one of those kids who believed that, and I know better. 'cuz it doesn't matter. The second movie for this series that was going to wrap it all up has been discarded, for years, without me even knowing of it 'till recently.

And there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Oh well.

The show will always have my heart.

>>15566473
i own an animation company and i do really plan to buy license rights from Nickelodeon and make a 3d feature of Her Arnold, the final one
will see how this goes..

Hey Arnold had some of the best female characters in any medium.

sounds awful

This is a show anybody could like

> Spiritual Successor

> Peanuts: Nothing but Christian moral messages crammed down our throats. in sterile, drab, depressing situations with bland, one-dimensional characters (if that).

> Hey Arnold: Strong moral messages delivered in a fun, comedic, light-hearted way through a colorful, interesting setting with characters you genuinely learned to love and relate to.

I liked the Peanuts comics. They shouldn't have been a cartoon.

Just like Hey Arnold shouldn't be a comic strip.

...

Wait..

>>15567571
maybe zone will be cool and say and let you keep the money

The only cartoon I ever cried while watching.

On numerous occasions at that.

>>15567732

Thats why the internet exists and pirates are justified in what they do.

>>15567571

always felt Arnold could kick the shit out of anyone
every ep. i will be waiting on some ass kicking
never came =(

Hey Arnold was my favorite show on Nick growing up. I was 7 when the show premiered and I fucking baw'd at a lot of the episodes. The one that makes me baw a little more was the Arnold's parents episode.

Hey Arnold, nostalgia goggles or not, still holds up.

>>15568155
Didn't he get his ass beat by Wolfgang? And there was that time he got tied to the tether-ball pole.

The Pigeon Man episode made me hate all humans.

>>15568237
early on, he could chop clothing into nothingness
always thought it was a big let down when that didn't carry on into the later episodes

>>15568306
It was just a humorous part of -one- episode. It'd be way too gimmicky otherwise.

Arnold's not a Z fighter, he's a 9 year old kid. 9 year old kids get picked on by older kids. It happens.

>>15566762
Helga was also a savior for most creepy fangirls lusting over a guy
"I may be obsessed, but at least I'm not on HER level"
>>15567565
"If you really love me you'll make me a sandwich"

I couldn't watch any of the episodes about ghosts or scary stuff, like the Haunted Train, or that one where Gerald spends the night, and all that scary stuff happened. Whenever those episodes were on TV, I had to turn the TV off until they were over.

remember when arnold flips out and punches helga in the fucking face?
and she cries and runs away?
shit was SO cash

>>15568454
this! a million times this!
the one where Gerald spent the night, the mad scientist guy that exploded when he made beans, that scared the shit out of me, and when the ghost came and visited Gerald as he was about to go to bed.

I'M A SAD CLOWN

>>15568511
That's the one! That episode made me unable to sleep the first time I saw it, I only watched it once, every other time I turned the TV off. My gosh, Courage the Cowardly Dog didn't scare me as bad as that episode.

>>15568605
Not even This episode?

>>15568605
>>15568646
at most courage creeps me out, not makes me not wanna sleep
Arnold had a tone of scary episodes, the episode with the Bird dude also creeps me out

>>15568511
Well, it's a small world, after all.
That episode used the scare the piss out of me. I didn't think that it really bothered anyone else.

This show always made me wish I had friends who wanted to go out and go do things.

Most of my friends sat around all day.

>>15568646
Not really, the only Courage episode that scared me was the 'Return the slab' episode.

>>15568675
Hey Arnold had a lot of scary episodes, but thats how we know its a good show

hey arnold is just a rip off of doug
arnold has a pet pig
doug had a dog named pork chop
fucking phonies

>>15568709
Funny. That one didn't scare me while te Harvest Ghost episode did.

>>15568805
yeah you're totally right bro

>>15565995
The Rugrats speak better English than most of the people I go to school with (lolMiami) and most kids on the internet.

>>15568805
>stick figure looking into his square butt.jpg

Somebody tell me they've released this show on DVD. I'd buy ten.

>>15568646
>>15568709
People always cite things like King Ramses, that face, the violin girl, Katz Hotel and that... "thing" from Perfect as the scariest things in Courage.

However, I don't think I've EVER seen anyone mention "Cabaret Courage".

>>15568892
No. Unless its Spongebob or Avatar, Nick does not do DVD releases.

I like the music. It makes me want to play SimCity.

>>15568908
Oh god. Those Puppets.


Its strange how a childrens cartoon can have more Nightmare fuel than all of NGE Combined.

>>15568908
Which episode was 'Cabaret Courage'?

>>15568986
The Puppet one.

It was one of the last episodes, so Cartoon Network didn't show it very often. Maybe that's why nobody remembers it?

I've been thinking lately about much Helga must have been messedup in the head, to try and gain affection from a pile of garbage, because she was incapable of expressing her feelings to the first person who cared about her.

WHAT THE HELL

THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE

>>15569137
it gave me a weird tingling feeling that i couldnt quite identify

>>15569269
Come to think of it, there was alot of messed up stuff in that show. Usually revolving around the Pataki family.

>>15569320
Mother was alcoholic, dad was abusive and neglectful.

They wanted to do a spinoff called "The Pitakis" really, but, it was too "dark" for Nick and MTV passed because it was too similar to Daria.

stoop kid, if you please

As someone who only saw like 2 episodes of this show as a kid (we didn't get Nickelodeon, shut the hell up) - why does it have such a religious following? I mean, I get that it's a funny cartoon about kids in the inner city, but then people talk about it with a weird sort of reverence that goes beyond "Yeah man, I remember that too, it was awesome". I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely curious - what makes it any different from other "kids just hanging out" cartoons from the same era like Doug or Recess or The Weekenders?

>>15569586
It dealt with pretty heavy issues using a distinct flavor of dry humor that gives it a timeless quality.

>>15569586

Well, to answer your question ... it was really good?

People do talk about Recess the same way. I was not a fan of that, but, I can recognize it was a good show. It has its loyal fans, too.

Doug, on the other hand, while some people like and remember fondly ... it was a bad show. It really wasn't as good as Recess or HA!, so, the following is not there.

References to nematoad calls are still ok in my book, though.

>>15569586
it's a show about poor children

>>15569586
you need to watch one of the emotional episodes like the christmas one.
>>15564387
just click part one in the related section.

>>15569871
What's with everyone ragging on Doug these days?

I loved Hey Arnold! and watched it again when ArnieLila was uploading them on YouTube. The show hits home on so many episodes, and was able to incite emotions in me that a cartoon hasn't done in years. Maybe that comes with growing up, but damn if it still didn't when I saw it recently.

If it had come to Bartlett's intended closure, it would've made it even better.

The show had a recurring theme about staying optimistic in a cruel world that a lot of people can relate to.

>>15570281
Have you tried Youtube?

>>15570281
There is a youtube link in the thread that links to the last part of the christmas episode. It's the seventh post in the thread.

Best episode, by far and wide, April Fools Day, one of the last episodes, made in 2001.

>>15570365
Except that his whole upload is horizontally inverted.

>>15570397
That's the compromise you gotta make so youtube doesn't take it down.

>>15570390

Don't worry my poor, blind friend. You're in good hands.

Fuck, that episode when Helga sees the child pdychologist. That was pretty powerful stuff.

I teared up during the Pigeon Man episode too, dat sad credits music

Did they ever release an OST for this show? I would pay through the nose.

>>15570437
>>15570397

That's silly.

>>15570909
Oh, how I pine for the days of credits music. Nowadays they're generic cutaways for advertisements for shows you have no intention of watching, not to mention the credits themselves are shoved to the side and plastered in a font so small you cannot read them from your potato couch.

>>15571036

Chowder had entire fucking puppet shows at the end of every episode. CN said lolno no room for commercials.

I'm Vietnamese and I watched the Christmas ep with my grandpa. He teared up when we were watching it.

Anyone remember the episode where Arnold went fucking crazy to fend off a bully? Shit was awesome.


Coincidentally, I did that when I was gonna get my ass kicked in a bar fight. The guy was several times bigger than me and I knew I was gonna get my ass kicked hard so I went hardcore crazy, got a beer bottle, broke it, and cut my arm with it. It was a stupid thing to do, but the guy backed off.

>>15571717
DON'T HIT ME
I'LL HIT ME

>>15571749
Well the point was to make the guy think I was insane. It was basically get ass kicked hard (possibly into a coma) or get a cut on my arm.

That was pretty stupid of you.

That was awesome of you. lol

>>15569586
Pretty much everything in this topic. It was just a bunch of poor kids trying to make the most and have fun, optimism in the face of adversity. The characters had depth to them and the stories were often really well thought out. The background music was spectacuar too.

>>15572021
right on, I also thought some of the details in the art-style were fantastic. Like the opening shots of the city, and the various transition scenes.

I wish some thing as awesome as hey Arnold would be made in this fucking time. I have a feeling kids now days would hate it though, considering all the HERP DERP they watch. I think I'm going to be showing my kids cartoons not just from my time but even earlier than that. Kid's are gonna need some anti-herp derp

Some hold out, though. I know kids who go out of their way not to watch the crap that's on, and instead go out and buy Batman the Animated series on DVD, and just watch that.

There -is- good stuff on TV now, though. Maybe not as much.

Also, there was garbage on tv back then, too.

Just how it goes ... Only thing that worries me is the move to 3D.

But to the point, Chowder, Adventure Time, Flapjack, BatB, there's good stuff around.

It's been almost a decade since this show ended right? Well, 8 years at least ... maybe 9?

It still has fans. I don't get it. Do you think restarting that final movie would be a good idea for Nick? Would a lot of folks want to watch? How would they do it?

What about the voice actors? Most were kids right? Would they be able to find new ones?

>>15573226
The show ended production in 2001; for some reason it took Nick three more years to air the final episode, which production wise wasn't the final episode at all.

>Would a lot of folks want to watch? How would they do it? What about the voice actors? Most were kids right? Would they be able to find new ones?

I really think the ship has sailed. The fandom all but dried up by 2009. All getting too old to really care anymore, I guess. I used to be a huge fan, back when HA! was still more of a current show, not a oldschool Nicktoon to wax nostalgic on. Nick isn't looking for shows like Hey Arnold! anymore, times have changed, kids have changed. It was a good concept in the 90s when it happened, it had its time. Re-casting would be a nightmare, you would have to re-cast everyone, maybe even Helga...and you can replace a character like hers with someone else. Fran Smith added alot to her character.

Craig is still sitting on the scripts for the movie, still does not want to give anything away. I wish sometime he would.

Believe or not Hey arnold is closest thing to real life.

Anybody watch the movie Immigrants Klasky Csupo?

bump.

>>15573689

Well. Most of the characters -were- recast during the show's run since they used real kids. Helga's va could prolly still do it.

I imagine it could be done.

>thread still alive

>>15573748
Yeah, would of made an interesting series with the concept

awesome show

>>15580200
great job!

>This thread is still alive.

Man oh man, this is one long-lived thread.

A firm reminder I actually need to get around to rewatching this shit since I torrented it ages ago.

>>15573689
While I agree with you on the "ship is sailed" point, I have to disagree with the idea that kids have changed. Kids are kids, and will always be kids, the only things that have changed are the shows, and the parents. Unfortunately, parents are pretty shitty nowadays, and let media raise their children. I think that if more shows like Hey Arnold! were on, kids would still love them now even more than we did back then. Too bad all they have today are shitty generic action shows that never change and the live action shit Disney spews forth.

>>15585637
Definitely seconding the comment on poor parenting, but in all honesty I don't think something like this would go over well with kids these days because they have actually changed. Kids will always be kids, but what kids like these days is totally different from what we liked.

o cool this thread is still alive
