Stuck In A Tree
Eugene, Arnold, and Harold end up stuck in a tree in the park, and their fate depends on Chocolate Boy
Written by Joseph Purdy and Steve Viksten

Storyboard Artists: Miyuki Hoshikawa, Diane Kredensor, Caesar Martinez

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Eugene - Blake Ewing
Harold - Justin Shenkarow
Chocolate Boy - Jordan Warkol
Water tower worker - Craig Bartlett

  • The new Eugene sounds a little like Helga
  • Arnold is flying his kite with the metal kitchen implements (as seen in "Arnold's Hat") again
  • There were other people in the park; why didn't they yell for help?
  • How did Arnold and Harold know all of the words to the song? Harold interrupted Eugene the first time he sang it
  • The fire engine says HFD; maybe the city Arnold lives in begins with an "H"?

Song Lyrics to Eugene's song

Every seed turns into a flower
Every minute turns to an hour
Turn that frown upside-down
And there's a nice big smile
So....
Never let go of hope
It's a lifesaving rope
And like a seed grows, dreams come true
Just because you're you

  • Whatever happened to the Sunset Arms policy of "NO KIDS"?
  • Rhonda complains that Nadine wears the same shows twice in a row, yet Rhonda wore the same shoes (and the same sweater, and the same pants) over and over again in the first few seasons
  • ...and Nadine is actually wearing different shoes than she normally wears
  • Why doesn't Oskar sleep in his own room?
  • Rhonda isn't wearing anything underneath the rip in her sweater
  • Presumably, this answers the question "whatever happened to Rhonda's glasses?", if she really did have contact lenses (maybe her parents thought she was responsible enough after "Polishing Rhonda")
  • In the scene after the garbage dumpster scene, Buckley's lips disappear briefly while he's talking
  • Craig Bartlett is credited as Brainy, but Brainy's "voice" isn't particularly recognizable
