Headless Cabbie
Arnold's story of a carriage driver who loses his head during a ride in the park becomes a little too familiar
when the boys have to walk through the park
Written by Joseph Purdy
Storyboard Direction by Sherm Cohen
Animation Direction by Christine Kolosov
Storyboard Artist: Tim Parsons
Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Gerald - Jamil Smith
Harold - Justin Shenkarow
Stinky - Christopher Walberg
Sid - Sam Gifaldi
Eugene - Ben Diskin
Ernie - Dom Irrera
Mr. Hyunh - Baoan Coleman
Cabbie, man with golden arm - Dan Castellaneta
Woman in carriage - Ileen Getz
- Didn't Stinky bring any clothes to the sleepover? When the boys went to
the park, the others had normal clothes, but Stinky was wearing his nightshirt and slippers (and a coat)
- Usually, stories involving a red scarf go something like this: a man picks up
a hitchhiker wearing a red scarf, but she leaves behind her purse; when he finds some ID inside the purse and drives
to that address, he discovers that the woman in question died years ago, usually on that night - and occasionally
the story ends with the man finding the scarf tied around the woman's tombstone
- First he gets two credits in one episode, and now this: Stephen Viksten was credited
as voicing Oskar, yet Oskar doesn't appear in this episode

Friday The 13th
Strange things happen to Arnold and Gerald after Wolfgang dares them to break superstitions on Friday the 13th
Written by Antoinette Stella
Storyboard Direction by Mike Svayko
Animation Direction by Christine Kolosov
Storyboard Artist: Jay Lender
Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Gerald - Jamil Smith
Stinky - Christopher Walberg
Eugene - Ben Diskin
Wolfgang - Toran Caudell
Edmund - Tim Wiley
Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta
Grandma - Tress MacNeille
Madame Blanche - Kathy Najimy
Caesar (fish store employee) [uncredited] - Steve Viksten
- This episode first aired
in the USA in October, 1999; however, there were no Friday
the 13ths between August, 1999 and October, 2000 (although
every year has at least one)
- Arnold and Gerald could have avoided the black cat's bad luck by not walking
through its path
- Wolfgang probably made up the "triple bad luck" for breaking a mirror
on Friday the 13th; I've never heard of it
- The paint that spilled on Arnold and Gerald didn't stain their clothes
- Arnold was told to read the instructions before opening the Good Luck kit, yet
he's seen reading the instructions while the box is open
- Wolfgang has an Auto Shop textbook in his locker - what elementary school has
an auto shop?
- The paper towel holder in the bathroom has HB (Harold Berman?) carved into it
- The lockers have combination locks and key locks - but the key locks disappear
when Arnold and Gerald open their lockers
- When Arnold opens his locker, one of the things that falls out is a paper titled
"My Summer Vacation" that got an A+
- Grandpa got one supersitition right: the reason you throw spilt salt over your
shoulder is to get it "in the devil's eye"
-
...but you're supposed to throw it over your left shoulder;
Grandpa threw it over his right one (although he did throw
it with his right hand, which is also correct)
-
At least they spelled her name right this time: the "A" in
Kathy Najimy's last name is smaller than it should be
- Here's a list of the
things Grandpa says (most of them are over the closing
credits):
- Salt, salt, as you fly,
hit the devil in the eye
- Salt, salt, white and
gleamin', save us from the evil demon
- Salt, salt, pure white
wonder, save us from the man down under
- Salt, salt, we are feeble;
save us from the devil's evil
- Salt, salt, from the
ocean, save us from the devil's potion
- Salt, salt, queen of
spices, save us from the devil's vices
- Salt, salt, chilling
starkness, save us from the prince of darkness
- Notice that you can say
"devil", but not "hell"; this appears to be a policy on all
Nicktoons
