Coach Wittenberg

Arnold's bowling team needs a coach, and finds one in Coach Wittenberg (Arnold's basketball coach from "Benchwarmer"), whose use of "psychocology" gets the team ready for a showdown with Helga's team - coached by Coach Wittenberg's wife, who threw him out of their house Written by Jonathan Greenberg Storyboard Direction by Stark Howell Animation Direction by Larry Leichliter Storyboard Artist: Rob Porter Cast: Arnold - Toran Caudell Gerald - Jamil W. Smith Helga - Francesca Marie Smith Eugene - Jarrett Lennon Harold - Justin Shenkarow Rhonda - Olivia Hack Coach Wittenberg - James Belushi Tish - Cathy Moriarty     * Arnold reminds the coach about the basketball team (shown in "Benchwarmer") and says it was a "YMAA" league; considering they never show anybody going to church, it probably stands for "Young Men's Agnostic Association"     * "Rhonda, You Do Push-Ups Like A Girl": Well, she does, by keeping her knees on the ground - but so do Arnold, Gerald, and Eugene (but not Harold, the person you'd least expect to be in shape)     * There's Something You Don't See Every Day: someone's fingernails (Rhonda's, although they appear to be fake ones)     * When Arnold first bowls, there are 11 pins - and they are lined up in a single line across the alley     * In some scenes, there are two sets of arrows on the lane     * One of "Helga's Angels" is Maria from "6th Grade Girls"     * The scoresheet can only list the first three letters of each person's name, but it has "Ron" for Rhonda (instead of "Rho")     * If that was the tournament final, it wasn't much of a tournament if it only had two teams, which is surprising since the prize was $500 according to the banner at the beginning of the episode (and it says "500 $" instead of "$500")     * Before Eugene bowls his last ball, the score is 502-501; after he bowls, the final score is 583-582, which is a low score considering how many strikes were thrown     * Don't Try This At Your Alley: you can't really bounce a bowling ball like Harold did; it would be much more likely to dent the lane (and it certainly wouldn't bounce very high, if at all)

Four-Eyed Jack

Grandpa tells Arnold and Gerald about "Four-Eyed Jack", a former Sunset Arms resident whose ghost is supposed to haunt the boarding house; when Arnold hears a strange noise, he and some of the boarders try to unravel the mystery Written by Craig Bartlett Story by Danica Ivancevic Storyboard Direction by Tuck Tucker Animation Direction by George S. Chialtas Storyboard Artist: Derek Drymon Cast: Arnold - Toran Caudell Gerald - Jamil W. Smith Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta Ernie - Dom Irrera Mr. Hyunh - Baoan Coleman Oskar - Stephen Viksten Suzie - Mary Scheer     * Arnold's pajamas are usually blue; here, they have a green tint     * The books Arnold and Gerald are reading feature "The Purdy Boys"; Joseph Purdy is one of the show's writers     * The rooms aren't numbered     * When they are at the top of the secret stairs, Oskar isn't wearing slippers, but when he's going down the stairs, he does     * According to Grandpa's story, Jack appears during storms, but the ghost at the end of the story didn't appear until after the storm ended     * In "24 Hours to Live", the boarding house has two bathrooms, one on the ground floor (however, in other episodes, like "Gerald Moves Out" and "Door #16", there's only one bathroom, if you don't count Mr. Smith's private one)     * ...and if Grandpa has a private bathroom, why does he spend a lot of time in the upstairs one (especially with others waiting in line)?     * When Jack takes his glasses, they turn from "real glasses" to "ghost glasses"     * Nobody received a voice credit for Jack     * When the lightning flashes as Grandpa leaves the room, you can see his skeleton for a brief moment     * There's more headroom in the space below the stairs (between the door and where the stairs in the room start) than there should be, given the location of the stairs above that room
