The Big Scoop

School paper editor Arnold doesn't like the way Helga is "economical with the truth" when it comes to her stories, so Helga and Phoebe start a tabloid paper of their own Written by Joseph Purdy Storyboard Direction by Stark Howell Animation Direction by Larry Leichliter Storyboard Artist: Christopher Morley Cast: Arnold - Phillip Van Dyke Gerald, Peapod Kid - Jamil W. Smith Helga - Francesca Marie Smith Phoebe - Anndi McAfee Harold - Justin Shenkarow Sid - Sam Gifaldi Stinky - Christopher P. Walberg Ernie - Dom Irrera Principal Wartz - David Wohl     * Is there anybody reading this that does not know what a "typewriter" is?     * Helga's story in the Weekly Word says "By H. Pataki"; Arnold's story about the demolition says "By Arnold and Gerald" (technically, those are called "by-lines", and usually they list the writers' first and last names)     * Ruth makes her first appearance in a second-season story, when she laughs at Arnold (no "Ruth" credit appeared at the end)     * When Stinky shows Helga the newspaper that contradicts Helga's story, Maria's hair is lavender and her skin slightly lighter than it usually is; they then change back and forth a few times     * The boy who says "new bike rack very popular" after picking up a paper is credited as "Peapod Kid", which is the credit he received when he wore a peapod costume in "Downtown As Fruits"
