The Pilot Episode of Hey Arnold!, is a rare pilot that was made in 1994 and originally released on July 1, 1995, where it was shown in theatres after the movie, Harriet The Spy. It was released on VHS in 1996.


Plot[]

Arnold hits Harold with a baseball. Helga tells Harold what Arnold did and Harold promises to beat Arnold up the next day. While he is sleeping, Arnold has a dream where he acts crazy and scared the bullies away. During the actual fight, he acts foolish while singing a song about being crazy. His dance number impresses Harold, who invites him to join their club and avoids getting beaten up.

Helga complains that people paid to see a fight so Harold gets two other boys to fight instead. The pilot ends with Helga shaking her head and calling boys dumb.


Video[]

The pilot was shown as a montage to some episodes in the series, but luckily the Nickelodeon Cartoon Universe team had it covered since 3 years ago.


Trivia[]

Originally made in 1994, this pilot was shown in theaters in front of Harriet the Spy. It was remade as the episode "24 Hours to Live", and some clips were also used in the Helga montage at the end of "Stuck in a Tree". The original version was included as a bonus feature on the Hey Arnold!: The Ultimate Collection DVD set.
