Hey Arnold!

Are there any Hey Arnold! fans around here? I just started watching the series again, as it's on the 90's are all that, and I just love it so much! Definitely one of the best cartoons of all time in my opinion. My favorite character is by far Helga Pataki, who is surprisingly really deep for a children's character. She has a poor family life, with an alcoholic mother and a father who pays no attention to her, in favor of her older sister Olga, who her parents prefer. Helga has a huge crush on Arnold, because he is pretty much the only person who was ever nice to her, but she hides it under a mean, bully like attitude so that she herself won't get bullied.

I'm just really upset that Nickelodeon cancelled The Jungle Movie and the spinoff series about Helga and her family. The Jungle Movie especially, since the show itself ends on a cliffhanger that was supposed to lead up to it. The Patakis, a spin off show about a teenage Helga and her family was rejected because Nick thought it was too dark...it was even pitched to MTV, but they declined it because it looked too similar to Daria, a show they'd been airing.

So, what're you're thoughts on this show? Are you a fan? Who's your favorite character? Discuss!
