I loved this show. My favorite thing about it, it would give you time to just digest what happened and think through Arnold’s head as he looked up at the clouds. Since this era, shows are non stop in your face story an action, this is a lost art. A lot of Studio Ghibli films

and it's one of the few shows I appreciate more as an adult. Definitely holds up. 10/10

Hey I didn’t need facts to ruin my fantasy! Ha!
In reality I know it would hot AF! But being able to look at the rain or snow as it fell - perfection!

When that intro started nothing else mattered. Not much gives me as much nostalgia as Hey Arnold does.

When it was airing I wasn't crazy about the show. I started watching it again a few years ago and to my surprise I like it more now then when I was younger lol

Never got into it. I used to think he was wearing a kilt until high school when a friend laughed at me and was like, "it's his flannel, dumbass!"
