The Powerpuff Girls - "Geshundfight"

Oh, I get it. Geshundfight is a take on the famous German phrase, "gesundheit." Anyways, we're reviewing the Powerpuff Girls episode, "Geshundfight" from the first season, and which also featured the Amoeba Boys.

The Amoeba Boys are once again trying out their petty crimes. They try to steal an orange from the orange stand, but Skinny Slim, being the nervous one, doesn't do a good job at it, the kicker, he doesn't grab the orange at all. They try to show littering to the girls, but it's just pathetic because it's just a sheet of paper. Then, The Amoeba Boys decide to, as the Professor states, stand in the park next to a "Keep off the grass" sign in an attempt to break the law, when a storm rolled in, now, they stood in the rain all night and they caught a cold, that cold mixed with their single-cell anatomy to created a devastating new virus that could then infect all of Townsville. Will the Girls find the antidote within the Amoeba Boys? Or will they just end up as sick as a chihuahua? Well I'm not telling! Because you have to watch and see for yourself.

Now, it's important to note that this is the Amoeba Boys' only appearances in Season One, they only appear once per season. When I was younger and I saw this, I thought their even plan was to get rained on and get sick and infect Townsville with their virus. I really thought THAT was their evil scheme, but since I've heard every word from Professor Utonium, that wasn't the case here. I also found it funny when the Mayor gets constant phone calls telling him that the people at City Hall are sick and they can't get in, and thanks to Sara Bellum sneezing onto the Mayor, he gets infected as well, that's karma if you ask me.

Overall, this episode is really funny, and the good part is that it doesn't push the yuckiness of f this sickness too far. I mean sure, the sick ice cream did sneeze on the girls, but they don't get infected until they come across the Amoeba Boys. I also like Buttercup shouting at the top of her lungs to the Amoeba Boys to leave Townsville, until she suddenly gets sick after she regains her cool. I also like how the Professor's microscope shows us that the germ looks like the Amoeba Boys, mostly the Boss Man. Too bad the Amoeba Boys never got arrested for infecting Townsville. As Boss Man says "I TOLD YOU YOU SHOULD'VE TAKEN THE ORANGE!"

And the Narrator is right, the Amoeba Boys are SO dumb, but we love them anyway.

Dexter's Laboratory - "Quiet Riot"

Tired because you didn't get enough sleep last night? Well, this episode is for you, :"Quiet Riot." Look guys, I don't have a lot of time, I'm kind of in the middle of a crisis of having my review location moved so I really can't explain, so I'll try and do my review real quick alike.

Dexter had work late last night and has become very tired, so he decides to sleep in, in that case, Dee-Dee decides to try to keep things quiet in comical and over-the top fashions, whether on purpose or accidental.

And the final nail in the coffin was where Dee-Dee accidentally makes a bomb go off, and with that, Dexter tries to find somewhere else to sleep and where Dee-Dee won't bother him.

Oh well, can't say she didn't try.

Anyways, what do I think of this episode? I thought it was realty funny. Like for example, Dee-Dee yelling out to her mom that Dexter hasn't gotten enough sleep last night even though she promised to keep things quiet for Dexter.

I also like how Dee-Dee swats a fly onto Dexter's face, and even squishing onto a Puppet Pal Clem puppet, which for some reason is a squeaky toy.

Another thing, I thought this episode has a clever plot. It's very interesting in my opinion.

I wish there was more that I can say, but I can't go for anymore thoughts, mostly due to the fact that my computer location is being moved to the kitchen and there's not much to talk about.

Believe me, talking about moving my location is making me sick to my stomach.

But either way, just watch this episode if you run across it. See you later, hopefully if I don't plan a schedule for making my reviews during the weekends or using the computer period.

The Powerpuff Girls - "Tough Love"

If you've watched Shadow Streak's review of "Somewhere Over the Swingset," you will note that he told us that that episode is a complete rip-off of the original series episode that I'm going review right now, "Tough Love," and to be honest, I can't argue with him on that one. This reboot has a tendency to do blatant stealing from the original! Here's the link to his review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJK2vui2EU

Let's just hope that reboot gets cancelled very, very soon. Now, with that out of the way, onto the review.

Him sees Townsville loving the Powerpuff Girls to death, Him gets jealous and he really hates the Powerpuff Girls so much And with the help of his rubber duckie, Mr. Quackers, he decides to turn the people of Townsville against the girls.

How will the Girls stop Him?

Stay tuned to find out.

You know, out of context, this screencap looks pretty bad, not gonna lie.

This is one of those episodes that aired during the 10th Anniversary marathon, pairing with the Season 2 episode, "Speed Demon," which I will review sometime later. And this episode, much like "Octi Evil," has Him with an evil fiendish plan And for the most part, it works.

I even like the background music that plays when Him appears, it's perhaps the most scary that composers James L. Venable, Thomas Chase and Steve Rucker had ever composed.

And Him as usual is defeated, but he will always return for another showdown.

So, bottom line, it's cool, it's funny, it's dark, like Him, and it has a good moral that Buttercup pulled in here, that you shouldn't trust people who aren't your loved ones because our loved ones would never want to hurt us and they're all a part of HIS evil scheme, okay, good moral.

I even found it strange that even the narrator has sucked in the hate smoke or something.

But on the other hand, I like the ending where he says "Oh, nurse, isn't it time for my sponge bath?"

By the way, I don't like sponge baths. I'm onto the next one, bye.

Dexter's Laboratory - "Rude Removal"

In 1998, there was word that there was an episode of Dexter's Lab that had Dexter and Dee-Dee create evil versions of themselves, the kicker, this episode had a lot of Bob Saget levels! For years, the reason for it's creation has been sketchy. Some say it was made as a joke and never intended to air, others said it was meant to air and Cartoon Network banned it for its harshness, however, the main rumor is that it was made only for select people to see, as it have been may have been shown at Genndy Tartakovsky's home for cocktail parties and whatnot. But that's just a hypothesis. For years, we were all curious about the episode and hope we would find some answers soon, and we did in 2013, thanks to Adult Swim. They once uploaded on YouTube on their channel to widespread appeal, but then they switched it to private, forcing fans to find other sources to be the only way to see it. But after all the wait, was it worth it? Let's find out.

So, we see the basic norm of the show, Dexter working on his latest creation and Dee-Dee coming in to wreck it all. Dexter tells Dee-Dee that he invented the Rude Removal System, a device made to take the rudeness out of one person, during the discussion they argue over who's the rude one, which quickly results in a sibling fight which causes them to accidentally work the Rude Removal System. On the upside, it works! On the downside, the rudeness has to go somewhere. At least all the curse words are censored in this one, I assume Adult Swim censored it themselves So anyways, Dexter and Dee-Dee have to deal with evil clones of themselves who shout their mouths off faster than the comedy sty-lings of Andrew Dice Clay.

Before these guys could mess up the now nicer duo, they hear their mother call them up for lunch, and that was where things get interesting. You just have to watch and see how it turns out for yourself. Anyway, before the now nicer duo can clean-up their mess, they hear their rude duplicates messing around in their laboratory But the weirdest part of this episode is Dexter and Dee-Dee having British mannerisms, that's just weird! Anyways, they go down to the lab to stop them once and for all in something I would like to call, "reverse psychology." Bugs Bunny-isms, works every time. Well, all's well that ends well.

Well, it's great to see something like this existed, Rude Removal feels like a typical episode. I can understand the reason for the ban, but if Rugrats, SpongeBob, The Powerpuff Girls, and Arthur can get away with teaching the moral of swearing, I can see this is getting by.


Well, except for the title card, but there's a nice nostalgic vibe that makes it worth seeing.

Just don't be that hyped.

Besides, if they had change the title card and made it a bit more kid friendly, then it would've been a cartoon to put on the show itself. Maybe it could've replaced the banned Dial M for Monkey cartoon "Barbequor," which actually HAD an excuse for removing it.

I rest my case.

That's all for now.

Hey Arnold! - "Road Trip" Review

Tired of having a mother \who sounds like she's drunk all the time? Do you not like the Hey Arnold episode, "Grandpa's Birthday?" Well, fear not, because his is the episode for you! Let's see what happens when Helga and her mother, Miriam go on a road trip.

After making a mother's day card for Miriam, at home, Big Bob gets a phone call from Dallas, Texas saying they want a whole load of beepers from his emporium and decides to leave both Miriam and Helga behind. This gets Helga stuck in the front seat next to Miriam on their way to South Dakota. They come across all sorts of things, a hotel, country music, and even a restaurant. When their car breaks, and Miriam lost her purse in the process, Miriam sees a flyer for a mechanical bull ride that would grant them a big winner prize of  $500.00! How will they get their trip going again? Watch and see for yourself, partner! Okay, onto the review.

If I thought "Grandpa's Birthday" was a bad episode because it was just boring and Grandpa Phil was being such an idiot, than this episode made up for it with a Helga centered episode. It pulls out all the stops, quality time with one's parent, even going so far as to shouting out "TRUCK!" every time we come across one. I also like the idea of an old-country western restaurant, like Floyd's Restaurant for example. Heck, we use to have a country-western related restaurant in Foley where I live, it was called Wild Bill's Pizza, but that place unfortunately went out of business and got replaced with a Chinese restaurant, sadly.

So, bottom line, I still like Helga calls her mom by her real name, Miriam that is, and I must say, the road trip and the mechanical bull thing did eventually pay off. Also during the closing credits, you can hear the voice of  Kate Miner singing "We Got Tomorrow," which was written by Craig Bartlett, while the episode itself was written by Jonathan Greenberg.

On top of that, there's still a lot of good laughs, and a great satire on road trips. Well, get along little doggies, YEE HAW!

Pokemon - "Tentacool and Tentacruel"

Before I begin talking about this episode I like, I must first off begin by saying that I'm not in the know about what's been going on with Pokemon lately. It's just one of those shows that pass by my radar sometimes, I don't know, it's just one of those shows that I kind of forget exist, but I use to be a fan of it, and followed it during its 4Kids Era and the Battle Frontier season. Okay, with that out of the way, let's begin.

The plot centers around Ash, Brock, and Misty stranded in Porta Vista, the only town on the island with varies to the main land. During the next three hours, Misty captures a Horsea and they ntoice that a boat has been destroyed by Tentacool and paralyzed the sailors. Nastina, voiced by Kayzie Rogers, wants to exterminate the Tentacool, but Misty is so disgusted by this that she refuses. Once the town rallies to volunteer to exterminate the Tentacool herd, Team Rocket steps in and tries their best, except, their stun sauce causes a Tentacool evolve into a giant 50-feet tall Tentacruel, and with him being giant, he sends his army of Tentacool to attack Porta Vista as revenge for the people their destroying their home, the coral reef, where the hotel is built. How will Ash and his friends handle this? Stay tuned to find out!

Before I talk about what I like about the episode, let's talk about the temporary banning of this episode in America. The reasoning behind this was mostly because of the fact that 9/11 happened back in 2001, because of this, Kids WB flatly refuse to air a rerun of this episode for their block, it was also banned for a couple of weeks due to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, due to the flood, if that was the case, then how come all The Powerpuff Girls were never banned due to 9/11? Oh, well, we'll never know. besides, if they were banned, we wouldn't have Powerpuff Girls on Cartoon Network, speaking of which, despite these disasters, Cartoon Network reran this episode a couple of times in 2002. Okay, enough of that jabber, let's say what's great about the episode.

This episode is just great, it has a lot of action and danger kind of like my previous review, the comedy was spot on, like James' line "Oh, it's a Tentacruel world." Team Rocket's lines are good, and with all that aside, it's a Misty story, It focused more on Misty more than Ash and Brock, mostly because these Pokemon are water type. I also kind of like how Tentacruel uses Meowth to speak through telepathy, but Brock prefers to it as using him as a puppet, doesn't he know the difference? Anyway, I especially like the fight where Pikachu, Pidgeotto, Butterfree, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Starmie, Staryu, Goldeen, and Zubat do their best to out do the Tentacool, but Tentacruel stops them in their tracks because according to him, they were battling to save the "destructive" humans. Only one person can stop him. That person being Misty.

So, bottom line, this episode is great despite the temporary banning in the US for 2001 and 2005. My only complaint is the fact is that it's not on Hulu. It's not anywhere on Hulu! Mom, if you're reading this, don't look for it for me. Besides you can watch it on DVD or online. Go ahead and check the episode out if your a big fan of Pokemon.

Magic Trixie Review

No, I don't mean the Great and Powerful Trixie from MLP: Friendship is Magic, but that was a good guess. No, I'm talking about this 1998 short from Oh Yeah! Cartoons. The plot of this story is that a young girl while trying to practice magic, she comes across Migmar Magma, voiced by Bob Joles, and eventually, she outshines him like a real magician would.

This is a pretty interesting short. It doesn't have much dialogue,minus Migmar's lines, but, this short taught me that it didn't need a lot of talking to make it look interesting, it just had to be VISUALLY interesting, it felt like a short from the Disney films Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. I like the clerk, who was voiced by Gregg Berger, who has a deadpanned sounding voice in his system, but the highlight of the short has to go with Migmar Magma, now, he is one magical bad guy, he will stop at nothing to be better than Trixie, but, since it's a magic-related short, fat chance.

This short was a stroke a genius. It was visually interesting, it had humor, it had minimal dialogue, but it didn't bother me much, all it taught me was that sometimes, silence is golden, Samurai Jack and a few Nelvana shows have done that as well, it also taught us that magic doesn't come from a store, but from the heart, all you need is some natural talent, and Trixie had to learn that the hard way. If you haven't seen or heard of this short yet, check it out, in my opinion, it's six minutes of talent you won't soon be forgetting.

What Does Blue Want to Do on a Rainy Day?

Remember back on October 12, 1998 when Nick Jr. aired yet another marathon for Blue's Clues, but this time it was called "Blue's Big Marathon!" And on that day it aired two new episodes, "Blue's Sad Day," and "What Does Blue Want to Do on a Rainy Day?" Now, I didn't really like "Blue's Sad Day" mainly due to the fact that Blue is just so mopey and depressed over the Green Puppy knocking down her block towers. I may have hated that episode, but 12;30/11:30 central was able to make up for it by showing another new episode, "What Does Blue Want to Do on a Rainy Day?"and I think this one was way better than the previous new episode. It aired after a rerun of my other favorite season two episode, "What Was Blue's Dream About?"Now, with all that off my chest, let's get into this review. shall we?

The plot of the episode is that, well, it's raining, hence the title, but Blue and Steve don't mind it very much, and they're in such a musical mood, that Blue decides to play Blue's Clues to figure out what to do today. Along the way, we tap dance our way into the kitchen, play the water xylophone with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper, do some clapping rhythms, play a game of "Repeat the Beat" from a video letter delivered by Mailbox, and finally, find the farm animals singing partner for their tunes and rhythm. Now, onto my opinions.

What's fun about this episode is that it's better than Blue's Sad Day, and it has Blue in the Blue's Clues mood, not only that, but the hair stylists in the studio really improved Steve's hair in this episode, it's still short like in "Blue's Sad Day," but it looks quite similar to his earlier Season Two hair style. But anyways, what's also great about this episode was the Open/Close Opera, a parody of the Anvil Chorus, Gonzo, eat your heart out, Mailbox singing along to the Mail Time song, but the best highlight of the episode is the Farm Song, where Steve sings the Birds, Cow, Sheep, Frog, and Pig animal sounds. Jeanne Simpson, who did the choreography for Blue's Birthday, was the choreographer for this episode. She did a fantastic job teaching Steve how to tap dance, hand clap, play the Thinking Chair, as well as the dancing in the skidoo sketch.

Okay, final thought. This is a fun musical, it's funny, visually interesting, and it has a great moral, you can always have fun inside no matter what mood you feel. And this episode really showed us that Steve and Blue didn't mind the rain at all. Same thing with Imagine That! and the Powerpuff Girls episode where they play Powerpuff Girls indoors at home. You can find this episode on the VHS Rhythm and Blue, or on the DVD, "Blue's Big Band," so, get your tapping toes ready for this funny musical episode, that will make you forget all about Blue's Sad Day and remember this episode by heart.

Blue's Birthday

And now, I would like to present a review for the Birthday episode that aired prime-time on Nickelodeon on June of 1998. It aired after "What Does Blue Want to Make Out of Recycled Things?" and before "What Was Blue's Dream About?" Let's give the premise first.

The plot of this special is that it's Blue's Birthday and Steve and the audience are getting ready for the big bash! Along the way, we play Blue's Clues to figure out what Blue wants for her birthday present, also, we finish setting the table, and adding one more balloon to the group, also, we skidoo into the Present Store to buy something for Blue for her birthday. The audience buys her a blue puppy doll, and (spoiler alert) a turquoise turtle named Turquoise, and last but not least, open presents. Everybody was there, including Gingerbread Boy, Baby Bear, Magenta, and many others. Now, let's give it a proper review.

This special is a heck of a lot of fun. It has all sorts of birthday feel to it, comedy, education, and of course, love. Also, I should mention that Mailbox gave Blue a birthday card, and the video letter includes guest stars including Gloria Estefan, who also appeared in Elmopalooza, which came out the exact same year this special did. Other celebrities include, Tia & Tamera Mowry, Amanda Bynes, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Rosie O'Donnell! What a star-studded video letter. Interesting fact: In the video version, the Rosie O'Donnell appearance was cut off for heaven who knows what, and it also had a longer opening and a longer ending with Steve getting a present from Blue, a cookie that thanks him for her birthday.

One thing I should point out by the way is that Steve's hair beginning with this episode is a little bit shorter than last time, in fact the only time in the episode where he retained his longer hair was in this shot right here on the left where he asks the audience if they can help him figure out what Blue wants for her present and to help get ready for the party, and also in the stock late Season One intro. This is strange because the episode that aired after this was "What Was Blue's Dream About?" where he retained the original hair style, I point all this out because Nickelodeon had a very strange airing order. I'd be willing to bet that that shot where Steve gets up after getting the notebook was taped much earlier in production, but that's just me.

Okay, final verdict? It is a good episode, not one of the best, but still pretty good. The highlights are the episode are present time, the video letter, and Pin the Flag on Mailbox, that's big-time birthday comedy right there. But, if I were to re-edit this special and make it into a pledge-drive, I would put in Sesame Street birthday related segments as well, like "A Cat Had a Birthday," Ernie and Bert celebrating the letter U's birthday, Charlie's Birthday at Charlie's Restaurant, "If I Knew You Were Coming," and the biggest highlight of them all, "Put Down The Duckie," the celebrity version, I would also put in the sketch where Kermit talks to Oscar about public television from the Sesame Street pledge-drive special that was also named Put Down The Duckie.

But in the end, it doesn't need to be a pledge drive or have all those things, but that's just me. Go ahead and check the episode out if you want to.

What Was Blue's Dream About?

Here comes another. This one is my personal favorite season two episode, "What Was Blue's Dream About?" What's strange is the fact that this episode aired right after "Blue's Birthday" where Steve had much shorter hair, minus the intro, I point this out because Nickelodeon had a very strange airing order. But I digress. What's the story? Blue had a dream, and we play Blue's Clues to figure out what it was., along the way, we see what Slippery had a dream about, what Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper dreamed about what Paprika grew up to be, and Mailbox delivering a letter about making dream catchers, and last but not least, Steve and the audience help Sleeping Beauty change her nightmare into a party!

What's great about this episode is that it's fun, it tackles on dreams and how we can use our imaginations to change them. The episode also got funny at times, like for example, Steve mishearing "A clue!" as the viewers telling him to tie his shoes, it's important to note that it's revealed that Steve indeed wears green socks, the other funny part is the part where Steve trips over the second clue, the mat that is, and says :"Oops," as well as him getting the wrong answer about a leotard rolling up and taking a nap. I also like the idea of Slippery Soap's superhero alter ego, which ironically, he would get a superhero alter ego a few years later.

But perhaps the best highlight of the entire episode was of course, the Skidoo segment, where Steve and Blue skidoo into Sleeping Beauty's dream to fix it and make it into a party, changing a monster into a three layered cake (a piece of cake), during scary trees into three balloons, pretty neat, and finally, changing the dark fence into a fence with party hats on them, when all that's done, we get a cool song that unfortunately never released on CD on any of the Blue's Clues CD albums, "Our Dream" a glitzy Disco tune that really helped put Disco back on the map, kind of like how The Angry Beavers' "Beaver Fever" song did. If I didn't know better, I'd say this song looks like something that Christopher Cerf would write, in fact, I wonder if Christopher Cerf actually co-wrote this song with Nick Balaban and Michael Rubin. Oh, well, wild guess or not, we'll never know.

If your a fan of disco, or if your just a fan of Blue's Clues, go ahead and check it out if you haven't already. It's a heck of a lot of fun.

What Story Does Blue Want to Play?

Yep, it had to happen sooner or later. Only this time, I'm going to review this Blue's Clues episode more plain and simple, almost as simple as how co-creator Todd Kessler wrote and directed the whole episode. The basic premise is that episode is that after putting a play of the Three Little Pigs, we play Blue's Clues to figure out what story Blue wants to play next. Along the way, we help some fairy tale characters get back to their own books after a little accident, Mailbox delivering a letter that shows some kids acting out The Three Little Pigs, and a bunny rabbit telling the story of the King and Green-Striped Cookie, complete with Steve imitating Elvis Presley.

What I love about this episode is the fact that the plot is SO simple, too simple, that there's not much dialogue outside of Steve and the audience. Steve's impressions of the Big Bad Wolf and the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk are funny and not to mention, Mailbox's "Fee fi fo fedder! I think that Steve's gonna get a letter. The only thing that really baffles me is that despite this was from Season 1, they didn't air this episode until October 1998, during the second season for crying out loud! Why did they wait so long to air this episode, I hear you ask? I guess will never know.

The highlight of the episode is the ending where Steve sings the So Long Song, Elvis Presley style, complete with the night time version of the music intact, with the backup chorus, and the standard "We can do anything" chant from the audience. And in airing order, this was the last episode to feature that chant. I also like the background music, especially the saxophone at the very end. Complete with the usual bass solos, clapping and drum playing, and the backup chorus doo-wop singing. Fun fact: This episode was originally shown to the public on video in "Story Time" on June of 1998. The one thing that just baffles me is the fact that they waited so long to air it until October of 1998, and I still don't get that, it's just a strange airing order folks. This aired after "What Does Blue Want to Do With Her Picture?" and before "Blue's Sad Day.": strange airing order, folks.

Oh, well, I still recommend this episode if you haven't seen it already.

Hey Arnold! - "Olga Gets Engaged"

"Olga Gets Engaged" was the second episode to feature Helga's older and midriff-baring sister. And as much as I like her character, I'm not sure what to feel about this episode. Anyways, it was written by the voice of Arnold's Mom herself, Antoinette Stella.

At school, Helga's friends Rhonda and Phoebe are excited about another one of Olga's visits, and Helga sarcastically just looks forward to it. She has mixed feelings on her bib sister. Sometimes, she might like her, but most of the time, she does not.. Helga always gets annoyed whenever Olga visits from college.

Olga comes to the Pataki residence and explains the big news, she decides to drop out of college because she met a man named Doug/ Bob and Miriam are shocked by this bit of news, but Helga is quite thrilled, thinking this might be Olga's fall from grace and wonders when they'll meet Doug.

At dinner, the Patakis meet Doug, who swoons over Olga, and Helga wonders how long have they've known each other. Bob and Miriam are against the idea that they're rushing into marriage.

While Bob says to Doug that he doesn't adjust, but Helga sympathies with Olga saying that it's not fair for Olga between Doug and them.

This reduces Olga to tears because, well, she suffers from perfectionism, and she's just so miserable, and runs into her room crying. I think it's time for me to talk about her crying, sometimes, whenever she cries, some black make-up falls down her eyes, she's not even wearing mascara, how is it even running?! Oh, well, no matter. Doug runs after Olga, and Helga says "If I played by cards straight, I could get rid of Olga for good." with a devilish smile on her face.

Up in Olga's room, Helga demands her to snap out of it, but Olga's so upset that she can't. Helga auggests that she and Doug run away and get married, Olga rejects to this considering she couldn't elope, and mom and dad would be furious. Helga knows that would be awful, but it's worse than thinking about life without Doug. Ultimately, Olga does give in, and Helga tells her to start packing and Helga will sneak the ladder out the window, and that she and Doug will be married in no time. Olga doesn't know how to thank her and thinks they're really bonding as wo sisters. As Helga closes the door, she says to herself, "Oh boy!"

As Helga gets out the later, she witnesses Doug telling ridiculous lies to Bob and Miriam, which ultimately results into them changing their minds. Helga was confused at first, saying, "What is going on, he hated him a while ago."

Helga comes back into Olga's room, saying to cancel running away, because there's been a change of plans, Doug won him over. Olga rejoices and says "Oh, I knew it, I'd just knew they'd love him." as she hugs herself with joy.

The next day, Helga explains her problems to Arnold about Olga dating a complete liar. Arnold suggests that if your sister or brothers are in trouble, you should help them, but Helga just rejects that thought, and, as usual, Arnold just tells her, forget he said what he had to say.

At dinner, as Doug and Olga are re-enacting a portion of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Helga fantasizes about what would happen if they actually got married, living in a run down apartment with Doug lying about doing great things while Olga is miserable, Helga laughs at her little fantasy.

On the day of the wedding, Olga can't tell how much she's lucky to have a sister like Helga. and from that point on, Helga decides she just can't go through with her plan.

Helga catches Doug red-handed calling his own girlfriend, and Helga does what Arnold told her to do earlier, help out a sibling in need. She demands that Doug should leave or she'll expose him for the phony liar that he is, even going so far as to threatening to push the redial button to tell her girlfriend about his lies and cheating. Upon hearing this, Doug leaves and exits the door!

With Doug gone and out of the way, to make sure Olga knows about his disappearance, Helga writes a note that says it was from Doug. Olga is touched by everything that the note says, she cries, once again, with mascara falling down her face without having any one whatsoever. And Helga just tells her "You crybaby!" And the episode just ends.

I don't get it.





Honestly, I don't think the episode was good or terrible, just weak. But, if YOU are a fan of Helga or Hey Arnold! Go ahead and watch the episode if you choose to, I have nothing against that, okay?
