Hey Arnold! The Complete Series Assessment
Hey Arnold! The Complete Series Assessment
When I was offered to give my opinion the “HEY ARNOLD!” Complete DVD Series, I was so excited. I know, that sounds odd coming from a 45-year-old Mom, but c’mon its Hey Arnold. When the series hit Nickelodeon in 1996 my kids were 5,2 and newborn. Both my 5 years old and 2 years old really enjoyed this show. So much that my oldest would say “Hey Football Head”. I laughed every time I saw the little blonde-haired football head-shaped boy with his plaid bottoms and blue top with a matching color collar.
This series reminded me of what it was like to have a whole block of friends that we’re able to hang-out together and have daily adventures. That was how it was like when I was a kid, not so much when my kids were kids, as we didn’t have a lot of kids on our block. Not to mention it didn’t feel safe to have my kids outside without supervision.
Hey, Arnold is based in the big city, which poses a big adventure for him and his pals. Living with his grandparents who run a boarding house, Arnold is able to share a roof with a group of an unusual and diverse clusters of characters. This even includes a pet pig!
As you may remember the 4th grade held a group of memorable people whom you will never forget. Arnold’s diverse friends include Gerald ( I felt was his best friend, who was a storyteller), class calamity Eugene, sometimes a bully Harold, and Helga, the tomboy of the group. Helga holds special feelings for Arnold, that 4th-grade crush you see in kids of that age.
