Hey Arnold!
Arnold was just like any other kid growing up in the city, assuming those kids also had a room operated by a remote-control and a pet pig. Along with Gerald, Phoebe, Brainy, and resident jinx Eugene, this amusing group of fourth-graders had what it took to survive life in the big city. They even managed to survive the rigors of a regular television series, as Hey Arnold! became yet another successful "Nicktoon."
