    98 April Fool's Day (with Dylan Guerber)

    King of the Fools Dylan Guerber returns to the stoop for one final time! Arnold and Helga’s April 1 prank one-upmanship mirrors the secrets they keep from each other in “April Fool’s Day,” where Helga’s not-so-innocent practical jokes escalate tension between the two. In our discussion of this half-hour special, we discuss its place in the story of Arnold and Helga, its development, and the pranks we pulled in our own youth!

  4. 97A Timberly Loves Arnold/97B Eugene, Eugene!

    97A Timberly Loves Arnold/97B Eugene, Eugene!

    Arnold has to face his on-again off-again crush on Lila once and for all when he starts getting attention from an unexpected source: Gerald’s little sister! “Timberly Loves Arnold” is a bit all over the place (didn’t we close the book on #LilArnold? Why’s Gerald so absent? Why’s Sid gotta be so creepy?), but it does get the Kidz a bit nostalgic for the social awkwardness of childhood crushes and sibling tag-alongs. Timberly’s good people. “Eugene, Eugene!” dramatizes the relationships among the kids of P.S. 118 when theater director (and Mr. Simmons’s archrival) Mr. Leichliter brings a production of the titular stage play to the school. Spurned by a former love, Leichliter changes the ending of the play so the bad guy (Arnold) gets the girl (Lila) – and long-suffering Eugene won’t stand for it. In our discussion, we talk about the framing of narratives as school play, how inconsequential Helga is, and how cool Tim Curry is.

    96 Married (with Seth Zarate)

    Seth’s back on the stoop and he’s got COOTIES in this very special episode of Stoop Kidz! Rhonda’s origami game predicts each kid’s perfect matrimonial pair in “Married”. That’s right – she knows exactly who’s gonna tie the knot with whom, somewhere down the line: Peapod Kid and Nadine; Sheena and Eugene; Arnold and Helga… wait, WHAT??? The rest of the episode plays out in opposing dream sequences: Helga’s vision of her perfect married life and Arnold’s depressingly dour subconscious. But even more interesting than the things we get to see (the kids of PS 118 “all growed up”) is what their dreams say about the feelings football-headed boy and his pining potential paramour: The kinds of things they can admit to themselves, how they confront their deeply held insecurities, and “Married” as a microcosm for the show’s central conflict.

    95A A Day in the Life of a Classroom/95B Big Bob's Crisis

    “A Day in the Life of a Classroom” questions the definition of “perfect” at P.S. 118 when a documentary crew wants to capture an exemplary day in Mr. Simmons’s classroom! Mr. Simmons takes it a little too literally – think cinéma vérité with less of the vérité. Big Bob tries a little too hard to change his ways after a close call with a gas attack(?) in “Big Bob’s Crisis.” But is selling your earthly possessions and moving your entire family to an Oregon commune better than just going to therapy and listening to your children?

    94A Phoebe's Little Problem/94B Grandpa's Packard (with Allegra Frank)

    Allegra gets back in front of the mic and DOESN’T embarrass herself on this episode of Stoop Kidz! Phoebe, however, DOES embarrass herself when her nervous flatulence gets picked up on mic in front of a large audience. (Podcast editor’s note: That’s one heck of a microphone.) Can Arnold help Grandpa get back his precious Packard after it’s pilfered by some punk playing at payback? Can the automobile’s many quirks help the duo prove it was stolen? How many Dashiell Hammett references can they stuff in an episode of Hey Arnold!? These questions and more in “Grandpa’s Packard”!

    93A On the Lam (with Erica Csuy)/93B Family Man (with Ellie DeMuth)

    Erica Csuy and Ellie DeMuth are back on the Stoop! “On the Lam” sees Harold, Stinky, and Sid on the run after assuming they blew up the police station (ACAB) with science project rockets. (They didn’t. L.) In “Family Man”, Mr. Hyunh tries so hard to get a promotion at his restaurant job that he pretends Suzie is his wife, Arnold is his son, and Grandpa is his father to appease the boss, Mr. Camacho. But the boarders at Sunset Arms kind of already ARE his family, in a way!
