Hi football heads!! :-)

I'd like to say thanks for allowing me to be in this group. I'd like to share some information about myself.

I was born in 1992 but started watching Hey Arnold probably in 2003 (or a year earlier) when Nickelodeon started airing the show in South East Asia (actually, the shows they used to air back in the 2000's where 90's US kid shows, including All That, so we Asians are a bit late).

When I was a kid my favorite character was Arnold (for obvious reasons) but now that I'm older, I consider Helga as my favorite because she's so complex and is more of the underdog than Arnold.

I will not be naming all of my fave episodes because there are a lot and some of them are actually obvious. Although, I just watched Heat/Snow and I found Arnold so adorable and so childlike in those episodes than the rest.

I like season 1 Arnold best because he still has many imperfections than in the later seasons. He was more of a kid than a Buddha/Superman then. Toran Caudell is my fave voice actor for Arnold.

Aside from Hey Arnold, I currently watch ‘Arrested Development’ and ‘Veep’ every now and then. Unlike Hey Arnold, their return is inevitable. AD producers are actually planning to have a movie.

The reason why I came back loving Hey Arnold (more than before, actually) was due to boredom.  I surfed the internet one night and read some articles about cartoon shows with mature themes, (including ones with dirty jokes that passed the kid-radar). That is when I "met" Hey Arnold again. It was like meeting an old friend that cheers me up when I'm bored or sad.

Hey Arnold is just one of those kid shows that you can still enjoy as you get older (like is Peanuts to the 40 year old people today). The stories are so universal and yet can be unexpected. They can be emotional and dramatic yet does not sacrifice humor.

I really hope that Craig and company will make 'The Jungle Movie' after he gets a go signal for 'Sky Rat' and it will become a success in Nickelodeon.

Here's hoping.

'Thanksgiving' episode. I too feel the same way when I'm holding my crush's hand.
