Hey Arnold is a classic Nickelodeon show that shouldn't have ended. The characters are so filled with emotion and act like real people. The plots and settings aren't crazy there simple. Hey Arnold is my 4th favorite Nickelodeon show.

Ah, Hey Arnold!, no other show in the world has the rights to call this one a modern classic. The characters are indeed enjoyable, the plot for some episodes are great, and the animation looks classical for a 1996 Nicktoon.
