Coach Wittenberg
Arnold's bowling team needs a coach, and finds one in Coach Wittenberg (Arnold's basketball coach from "Benchwarmer"),
whose use of "psychocology" gets the team ready for a showdown with Helga's team - coached by Coach
Wittenberg's wife, who threw him out of their house
Written by Jonathan Greenberg
Storyboard Direction by Stark Howell
Animation Direction by Larry Leichliter
Storyboard Artist: Rob Porter
Cast:
Arnold - Toran Caudell
Gerald - Jamil W. Smith
Helga - Francesca Marie Smith
Eugene - Jarrett Lennon
Harold - Justin Shenkarow
Rhonda - Olivia Hack
Coach Wittenberg - James Belushi
Tish - Cathy Moriarty
- Arnold reminds the coach about the basketball team (shown in "Benchwarmer")
and says it was a "YMAA" league; considering they never show anybody going to church, it probably stands
for "Young Men's Agnostic Association"
- "Rhonda, You Do Push-Ups Like A Girl": Well, she does, by keeping her
knees on the ground - but so do Arnold, Gerald, and Eugene (but not Harold, the person you'd least expect
to be in shape)
- There's Something You Don't See Every Day: someone's fingernails (Rhonda's, although
they appear to be fake ones)
- When Arnold first bowls, there are 11 pins - and they are lined up in a
single line across the alley
- In some scenes, there are two sets of arrows on the lane
- One of "Helga's Angels" is Maria from "6th Grade Girls"
- The scoresheet can only list the first three letters of each person's name, but
it has "Ron" for Rhonda (instead of "Rho")
- If that was the tournament final, it wasn't much of a tournament if it only had
two teams, which is surprising since the prize was $500 according to the banner at the beginning of the episode
(and it says "500 $" instead of "$500")
- Before Eugene bowls his last ball, the score is 502-501; after he bowls, the
final score is 583-582, which is a low score considering how many strikes were thrown
- Don't Try This At Your Alley: you can't really bounce a bowling ball like Harold
did; it would be much more likely to dent the lane (and it certainly wouldn't bounce very high, if at all)

Four-Eyed Jack
Grandpa tells Arnold and Gerald about "Four-Eyed Jack", a former Sunset Arms resident whose ghost is
supposed to haunt the boarding house; when Arnold hears a strange noise, he and some of the boarders try to unravel
the mystery
Written by Craig Bartlett
Story by Danica Ivancevic
Storyboard Direction by Tuck Tucker
Animation Direction by George S. Chialtas
Storyboard Artist: Derek Drymon
Cast:
Arnold - Toran Caudell
Gerald - Jamil W. Smith
Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta
Ernie - Dom Irrera
Mr. Hyunh - Baoan Coleman
Oskar - Stephen Viksten
Suzie - Mary Scheer
- Arnold's pajamas are usually blue; here, they have a green tint
- The books Arnold and Gerald are reading feature "The Purdy Boys"; Joseph
Purdy is one of the show's writers
- The rooms aren't numbered
- When they are at the top of the secret stairs, Oskar isn't wearing slippers,
but when he's going down the stairs, he does
- According to Grandpa's story, Jack appears during storms, but the ghost at the
end of the story didn't appear until after the storm ended
- In "24 Hours to Live", the boarding house has two bathrooms, one on
the ground floor (however, in other episodes, like "Gerald Moves Out" and "Door #16", there's
only one bathroom, if you don't count Mr. Smith's private one)
- ...and if Grandpa has a private bathroom, why does he spend a lot of time in
the upstairs one (especially with others waiting in line)?
- When Jack takes his glasses, they turn from "real glasses" to "ghost
glasses"
- Nobody received a voice credit for Jack
- When the lightning flashes as Grandpa leaves the room, you can see his skeleton
for a brief moment
- There's more headroom in the space below the stairs (between the door and where
the stairs in the room start) than there should be, given the location of the stairs above that room
