He can quote episodes verbatim, and at length. If he can sense that you may pledge allegiance to a particular character — like, say, that the aforementioned Helga G. Helga in particular gets a ton of fan love, said Bartlett. Many of his most vocal fans are women who saw themselves in her. She almost took over the show. While Arnold anchors the show with a quiet gravity, Helga is always erupting, unable to keep her gigantic, ferocious feelings inside.
I looked through the glass, and it was this tiny kid. And lo, Helga G. As much fun as Arnold and friends had exploring their bizarro city, they learned just as many crushing lessons along the way. And even though Arnold spends most of his time trying to help people, the beautiful and sad thing about Hey Arnold is that it only barely helped.

The familiar, cel-animated Arnold came about in the mids when Nick picked up the new series. In the TV series, Arnold is a optimistic, chill, nonchalant 4th grader who lives in a boarding house with his paternal grandparents, Phil and Gertrude.
Apart from the animation style, Nick's Arnold now wears a sweater, with his plaid shirt untucked often mistaken for a kilt. Only Arnold's beloved cap remained from the original wardrobe. He no longer wore a school uniform in the TV series because he attends a public school. Now he wears a dark blue jacket to go with his outfit. Even for a kid, Arnold is notably small in stature compared to most people his age, being shorter than a good deal of his school friends and classmates.
His most notable physical quality is his head is shaped like a giant American football or a rugby ball , thus earning him the nickname " Football Head ". In earlier episodes, his head looked longer and more like a blimp, before settling for the current design. He has yellow hair with a tiny blue hat in the middle. His normal attire consists of a teal sweater over a long-length red plaid shirt which often is confused for a skirt , blue jeans, and black shoes.
The Jungle Movie. In The Jungle Movie , Arnold wears a dark blue jacket on top of his previous outfit, and his shoes are now red and white Converse sneakers. He's also slightly taller, as his plaid shirt no longer looks like a skirt. His outfit during the field trip to San Lorenzo consists of a blue t-shirt with a teal border and sky blue stripe, red plaid shorts, white socks, and brown shoes.
In the pilot, his sweater is orange and his undershirt is blue. He also wears pale red almost pale pink pants and light blue shoes. Arnold is a calm, nice, kind, optimistic, upbeat and smart idealist who always sees the best in people despite how unkind, outlandish or sneaky some of them maybe.
Although he's usually a pacific kid, he has his limits and can be a bit irritable when he's pushed too far. Arnold has a natural gift for giving advice and guidance to others. He often goes out of his way to help others whether kid or adult , giving them advice when he runs into them, helping them overcome their issues, or help them see the error of their ways. This trait is likely inherited from his parents, who were humanitarian helpers of jungle communities.
Arnold's personality somewhat changed throughout the series. In the earlier episodes, he was a daydreamer and tended to lose focus. And while in earlier seasons he was a regular kid with a moral conscience and a good heart that sometimes made mistakes, at around with Season 4 , his character traits of optimism, giving advice, and being the voice of reason became much more pronounced. The episode " Deconstructing Arnold " more or less lampshades this change in Arnold.
The last two episodes and the films somewhat revert him back to his original self. Arnold resides in a boarding house called the Sunset Arms and goes to an elementary school simply named P. Arnold's excellent upbringing is due to the way his paternal grandparents and boarding house residents raised him.
He's a respectable young gentleman at home and at school with his peers and teachers. Arnold has often been shown to be dense and blind when it comes to romance and love. For example, he never figured out Helga was " Cecile " in " Arnold's Valentine " even though it was obviously her , and he doesn't seem to process Helga's incomplete love declarations in " Grudge Match " and " Arnold's E-Files ", or question some of her actions involving him. Furthermore, he continually refused to accept that Lila Sawyer didn't return his feelings despite being told so repeatedly.
Sometimes, Arnold is shown to be a bit shallow, as he only liked Ruth and Mary Margaret because they were pretty and didn't take time to get to know them. Top cast Edit. Sam Gifaldi Sid as Sid ….
