No, Arnold is not
back on Nickelodeon - however, I thought I would include the
airings on the Nicktoons schedule
Note that all
times are Eastern - subtract 1 hour for Central,
2 for Mountain, and 3 for Pacific

HEY, WHO
REMOVED THE SHOW?
It looks like
Nicktoons is trying something different in the mornings - from 8
AM to Noon on weekdays, they're airing 1 1/2 episodes (3
11-minute stories each) of My Life as a Teenage Robot,
Jimmy Neutron, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Teenage
Robot again; I assume there's some sort of filler material
to pad the time between stories

WHAT'S NEWS? -
Last Updated
July 30 |
Good news: episodes of the show are now available on iTunes.
Bad news: what they call "Season 1" - in fact, just the
first 13 episodes - costs $20. (They could offer all
20, like they do with CatDog, but then they charge
$30.)
Worse news: no, I don't know how to make free copies, and
even if I did, I wouldn't say because I don't have, as Olga
puts it in the Thanksgiving episode, "dirty little hands".
|
It's bad enough Arnold is not on the air in the USA - but I
just came from a store that was already selling "back to
school" supplies. (Never mind that I haven't been to
school in about 25 years - I feel your pain.) It's
only July 21! Whatever happened to summer vacation?
(And let's see if you have a better answer than, "They need
the extra time to teach to the tests they use to inflate the
school's ratings for No Child Left Behind purposes.")
|
I forgot he was on the show at one point: Harvey Korman (the
voice of Dino Spumoni's songwriting partner Don Reynolds in
"Partners" and "Dino Checks Out") died on May 29.
|
Nickelodeon Magazine's online site now has Hey Arnold!
(as well as pretty much all of the other Nicktoons)
comic strips available - go to
http://www.nick.com/shows/nick_mag/nicktoon_comics/index.jhtml,
select Arnold, then choose a comic from the list that shows
up on the right side of the screen. (The comic that
shows up is larger than the screen; click on the up-pointing
and down-pointing hands to scroll it.)
Note that these are comics that have appeared previously in
the magazine; I don't know if they are planning any new ones
or not.

Sorry
about the "bandwidth exceeded" problem last week - I put up
some pictures from a pinball show I was at on another part
of my website account, and underestimated the number of
people who wanted to visit it
|
You know, sometimes I wonder why Nickelodeon bothered to
make April Fools Day specials (like the one Arnold has) if
they're never going to bother to air them...
|
Somebody asked Jim Lang if the "tropical" closing theme
music at the end of later seasons has a name, and he got a
reply; it's called the "Buddy Love Theme". (There are
a number of "Buddy Loves"; for example, there is a rock band
from the early 1980s with that name, and it is one of the
names of the title character in both versions of The
Nutty Professor.)
|
No, I don't know either why they're not showing "Arnold's
Valentine" on Valentine's Day. However, they are
showing "bonus" Arnold half-episodes on Nicktoons; "Casa
Paradiso" on Monday 2/11 at 7:15 PM, and "Partners" on
Tuesday 2/12 at 7:45 PM (both times Eastern)
|
Nicktoons is airing "The Journal" on Monday 1/21 at 9:30 AM
Eastern (6:30 AM Pacific).
(If this is the first time you see this, and when you get to
the end, you wonder, "What happens next?"...trust me; you
are not alone.)
|
They're not airing Arnold's Thanksgiving this year - but
then again, apparently they're not airing any of the
Nickelodeon Thanksgiving specials (I recall Rugrats,
Rocko's Modern Life, CatDog, The Wild
Thornberrys, and As Told By Ginger having them as
well), although Nickelodeon is airing the first episodes of
just about all of its Nicktoons on Thanksgiving Day.
|
Arnold's back on Nicktoons, weekdays at 11:00 and 11:30 AM
(Eastern)...what do you mean, you're at school? That's
why there's this thing called TiVo...
(But one thing hasn't changed; they're not airing the
Veterans Day episode on the Veterans Day holiday)
|
I hope all of you who wanted to be at "the last chat"
managed to make it. Actually, calling it "the last
chat" may have been premature, as Francesca Smith made a
surprise appearance, and there may be a chance of a chat
featuring her taking place. (By the way - no, Craig
did not say what Arnold's last name is.)
|
A number of people have been asking me if Hey Arnold!
seasons are available on DVD the way SpongeBob
SquarePants is.
Unfortunately, the answer is no, and it appears that it may
be a very long time, if ever, before Nickelodeon decides to
release the show on DVD. It seems that only shows that
are popular with adults get complete seasons on DVD, since
only adults have enough money to buy all of the seasons of a
particular show. (Not only that, but the only reason
Invader Zim and Ren & Stimpy - the only two
Nicktoons so far besides SpongeBob to have complete seasons
on DVD, although I have heard rumors that Nick is thinking
about releasing the first season of Rocko's Modern Life -
are available is because other companies bought the DVD
rights from Nickelodeon.) Not even The Fairly
Oddparents seems to be popular enough with the right
people.
|
Somebody found a feature that I thought was a good idea to
add: there is now a page that lists all of the show's
stories in alphabetical order, so you do not have to search
through the five season pages to find the link to an
episode's page.
|
Looks like Harvey has made his last
mail delivery: Lou Rawls (the voice of Harvey the mailman)
died January 6 of cancer. (Sources differ as to
whether he was 70 or 72 when he died.) CNN's story
about his death did mention his foray into the world of
animation voiceovers...as one of the babies in the hospital
scene in The Rugrats Movie.
|
Pigeon Man has made his last flight
into the sun...Vincent Schiavelli, the voice of Pigeon Man
as well as Mr. Bailey (the Hall of Records worker in
"Arnold's Christmas" and the movie), died on December 26 of
lung cancer at the age of 57.
|
Good news for those of us in the western USA with digital
cable systems; somebody got their act together, and now Nick
Too airs the Eastern feed of Nickelodeon (which is the same
thing as what is on the "normal" Nickelodeon channel, but
three hours earlier). Note that, for the moment, TV
listings listing the channel are off by six hours (they add
three hours to the Nickelodeon times, which is correct for
the eastern USA version of Nick Too, instead of subtracting
three hours).
|
I have added a link (below the schedule grid) to see the
Nicktoons channel's schedule, in case you want to know which
episodes are going to air on Nicktoons. (The show's
current schedule is: weekdays at 9:30 AM (Eastern), repeated
at 1:30 PM, Saturdays at 7:00 PM, and Sundays at 3:00 PM and
3:30 PM (two different episodes), repeated at 8:00 PM and
midnight.) Note that there is only one "feed" for
Nicktoons, so subtract one, two, or three hours in the
Central, Mountain, or Pacific time zones.

If you're interested in getting Nickelodeon to become
interested in a second Hey Arnold! movie, somebody
came up with this idea: if as many people as possible write
letters (that's letters, and not E-mails) to Nickelodeon (at
1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036) asking that they consider
working on "The Jungle Movie", and (here's the interesting
bit) they all do it pretty much at the same time,
perhaps Nickelodeon might take more notice to the fan
interest. The idea is to do it during the first week
of each month. (Of course, if Nickelodeon gets a flood
of letters at the same time saying the same thing, there's
always the chance that they'll think that it's not "general
fan interest" but an organized effort of some sort, but at
least they know there's some interest.)
Here's the
"Save Hey Arnold" site link:

Good news for all of you who have asked about contacting the
show's music composer, Jim Lang, or wondered if he had a
website: he does now, at
http://www.knobworld.com, and it includes some of his
music (not just Hey Arnold! tunes, either) and an
E-mail link to him.
|
Ever wonder why there isn't really a Yahoo soda (besides the
obvious "Yoo-Hoo might sue")? A company in India was
selling "Yahoo! Tea" - until the company that owns the
Yahoo! websites (www.yahoo.com) sued, claiming that it owns
the "Yahoo!" name (and there are some Yahoo-brand items
being sold). (By the way, Yahoo.com started in 1994,
so they were here first.)

pretty much everything except the questions to Craig and his

Arnold did it again! Another life saved because somebody
remembered watching Arnold giving Eugene the Heimlich
maneuver. (Ironically, that episode is being shown twice
this month. By the way, the first one was in May, 2000, in
southern California.) This time, it's in Washington state:
see
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/134306954_boyhero15m0.html
for details.
|
The things you read in books...did you know that there
really was an "Operation Ruthless" during World War II - and
that it has something to do with James Bond? (See the
Episode 107 capsule for details)
|
Want to see some of Craig Bartlett's non-Arnold
animation (well, besides the earliest "Penny" cartoons from
Pee-Wee's Playhouse)? Craig has a 10-second cartoon on
The Paris Concert for Amnesty International: The Struggle
Continues (it's on the DVD version; I don't know if a
VHS version exists or if it's on it if it does).
