Hey Arnold is just as good now as it was when you were nine years old, and that's a fact. It's unique in that it has a veritable army of hilarious, interesting, and relatable young characters. Even if you haven't seen it in years, it's hard to forget Helga, Stinky, Eugene, and the rest of the urban kids that populate this universe. Ultimately, the show succeeds with Arnold, one of the most likable characters in TV history, and his crazy life. What 90s kid didn't want to live in Arnold's boarding house, with a dining room full of quirky neighbors, a Murphy bedroom, kooky grandparents, and a pig named Abner? Don't bother lying. We all wanted to live that dream.
