Summer Love
Arnold and Helga spend a week's vacation at the same beach, where Helga tries to keep Arnold away from a girl he
likes...and who's only using him to win a sand castle building contest (and the appearance on Babewatch that goes with it)

- Well, that seems to answer the question "how can Arnold go on vacation if
Grandpa has to stay behind to run the boarding house?"; take everybody in the boarding house with him
- Despite the title and the beach setting, it's not summer, as it's only a week's
vacation (the episode's working title is "Beach Story", which is also how it originally appeared in online
TV listings)
- The school bell is made by the Toils Alarm Company (you would think Tolls would
have been more appropriate - "ask not for whom the bell tolls...")
- Arnold's shorts are the same pattern as the shirt he normally wears
- Isn't Arnold a little old for a pail and shovel?
- Summer refers to Arnold as "a kid" - how old is she? And what does
Arnold see in "older girls"? (First Ruth, then Maria, now Summer...)
- Despite the beach area being popular, Arnold is the only one on the beach at
the beginning
- When the raft with Arnold and Summer on it pops, it throws them into the air
as if it was a bomb, and both of them defy gravity for a moment before landing
- Arnold tells Summer that the girls in his class aren't nice; doesn't Arnold consider
Lila (or Phoebe) "nice"?
- When Grandpa is calling for help on the seashell, he calls himself "grandpa"
- Suzie pretty much disappears after she and Miriam go to Carlos' studio for the
first time
- Arnold calls Summer's boyfriend Sandy by name, but nobody mentioned his name
to him before he said it
- How did the policeman know there was someone under the fat man? The metal detector
could have been detecting the chair's metal legs
- The clapboard for the Babewatch episode has the date July 22, 1999
- The posters for the show say "BABE WATCH" - but the show's title is
one word
- Helga's sandals disappear while she's told she'll be appearing on Babewatch
- When the taping begins for Babewatch, right after Arnold starts "drowning",
Helga is wearing a white top, but when she runs into the water, she's wearing the same red suit that the other
female lifeguards are wearing
- In "Olga Comes Home", Helga's bow is "permanently" tied and
is attached to her hair with elastic, but here it's tied directly to her hair and can be unraveled into a straight
ribbon
- By coincidence (or was it?), the TV Guide issue for the week following this episode's first airing in the USA (which started appearing
in stores two days before the episode) had an article on Beverley Mitchell, who plays Lucy on 7th
Heaven
