Gerald Comes Over
Gerald gets an introduction to the residents of the boarding house when he and Arnold collect the rent - or at least collect the IOUs and catch the stuff Suzie throws at Oskar
Written by Craig Bartlett and Rachel Lipman
Storyboard Direction by Bert Ring
Animation Direction by Juli Murphy-Hashiguchi
Storyboard Artists: Debbie Baber, Sherm Cohen, Dean Yeagle

Cast:
Arnold - Toran Caudell
Gerald - Jamil W. Smith
Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta
Grandma - Tress MacNeille
Oskar - Stephen Viksten
Suzie - Mary Scheer
Ernie - Dom Irrera (credited as "Irerra")
Mr. Hyunh - Baoan Coleman
Mr. Johanssen (credited as "Johanson") - Rick Fitts
Mrs. Johanssen (credited as "Johanson") - Shari Belafonte
Jamie O. - Ben Aaron Hoag
Timberly - Avriel Epps
Mr. Purdy (uncredited) - Joseph Purdy

  • Gerald has an older brother, Jamie O., and a younger sister, Timberly (yes, it begins with a T)
  • There's a border named Mr. Purdy, who, although he was uncredited, was voiced by writer/story editor Joseph Purdy (according to something Francesca Marie Smith said on the Unofficial Hey Arnold! Site)
  • In the exterior shot of the boarding house, Suzie's dialogue comes from "Arnold as Cupid", and Ernie's from "Door #16"
  • In "Arnold as Cupid", Mr. Hyunh is in apartment 3, but here he is in apartment 21; also, Mr. Smith is in apartment 6, not 16 (as in "Door #16")...and calling them "apartments" is a bit of a stretch, seeing as how only Mr. Smith's has a shower
  • Arnold calls Ernie by his first name, unlike in "Door #16"
  • Arnold and Gerald have to climb stairs to get to Oskar's apartment, but this would mean the building has three floors, and the outside views indicate that there are only two (plus the attic)
