Beaned
When Helga gets amnesia after being hit with a baseball hit by Arnold, Arnold starts acting nice to her, so Helga pretends that she's still affected to keep Arnold near her
Written by Michelle Lamoreaux
Storyboard Direction by Carson Kugler
Animation Direction by Frank Weiss
Storyboard Artist: Caesar Martinez

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Helga - Francesca Smith
Gerald - Jamil Smith
Rhonda - Olivia Hack
Harold - Justin Shenkarow

Sid - Sam Gifaldi
Miriam Pataki - Kath E. Soucie

  • Helga didn't forget everything - for example, she knew how to speak English
  • When Arnold pushed the door open for Stinky, it was on the "pull" side (it had a handle on his side and a "push bar" on the other)
  • Nobody noticed the ball heading for Helga
  • Names Helga called Arnold: Archibald, Arliss, Oswald, Archie, Artemis, Arlo, Ambrose, Andrew
  • How did Arnold know Helga's locker combination?
  • When Arnold reads to Helga, the book title says "GEO-" and "GRAPHY" (two words); the next day, it says "GEOGRAPHY" (one word)
  • The drinking fountain was in front of a bulletin board that said "CALL BACKS", as seen in "School Play"

Old Iron Man
Grandpa and his lifelong best friend Jimmy Kafka compete in an old men's triathlon
Written by Jonathan Greenberg
Storyboard Direction by Carson Kugler
Animation Direction by Frank Weiss
Storyboard Artist: Caesar Martinez

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Grandpa, TV announcer - Dan Castellaneta
Ernie - Dom Irrera
Oskar, race official - Stephen Viksten
Jimmy Kafka - Richard Mulligan

  • Richard Mulligan (who is probably best known for starring in Soap and Empty Nest) died September 26, 2000, about four months before this episode first aired in the USA
  • Arnold's cereal box has a telescope offer on the side, just like in "Sally's Comet"
  • A 10 mile run, 20 mile bike ride, and 8 mile swim (for those of you using the metric system, that's about 16 km run, 32 km bike, 13 km swim) is strange for a triathlon; usually the swim is much shorter than the run, and almost always the swim goes first (probably to reduce the likelihood of somebody getting a cramp in the middle of the swim)
  • Whose bright idea was it not to have anybody in the water just in case somebody "ran out of gas"?
