Move It, Football Head!
Best cartoon ever! Sure, Hey Arnold! ended 7 years ago, but Nickelodeon has recently brought it back for its "90's Are All That" block. My 11 year old and her friends LOVE it. Arnold is a great role model for younger kids, he is cheerful, optimistic, and always takes the time to help people. Helga, on the other hand, exhibits some behavior you wouldn't want your kid repeating. But, overall, amazing show, probably among the best of Nickelodeon.

I love this show!
This is one of the best cartoons on the air, in my opinion. It reminds me a lot of Fat Albert. The kids live in a seemingly poor, urban neighborhood and they all have their little quirks. Arnold is the "Fat Albert" character in that he helps solve the problems that the other people on the show are having. I think it's an excellent cartoon for children to watch because it has a good message.

It's OK but there are some "?s"
Very good story line, although some social behavior is questionable.

So-So
This show was never one of my favorites, but I always loved watching it. From do-good Arnold to crazy-in-love Helga, this show has some pretty funny characters.

As a parent I find this show very refreshing. Arnold shows empathy and good problem solving skills. Realistic characters. I highly recommend it over the majority of cartoons out today.

One of the better Nick shows
This has got to be one of the best shows in Nickelodeon's history. It lasted from 1991 until the early 2000s. Only objectionable content present is in one episode where some kids moon a teacher and their bare butts are shown uncensored. (For that reason, I don't think that episode ever aired on Nick on CBS.) Other than that, it's a really great show and it's currently on Nicktoons.
