Longest Monday

On the first Monday in June, fifth graders dump fourth graders into trash cans, but the fifth graders have to catch Arnold and his classmates first... Written by Jonathan Greenberg Story by Megan Blumenreich Storyboard Direction by Derek Drymon Animation Direction by Larry Leichliter Storyboard Artists: Kurt Dumas, Robert Porter Cast: Arnold - Phillip Van Dyke Gerald - Jamil W. Smith Helga - Francesca Marie Smith Eugene - Ben Diskin (credited as "Disken") Harold - Justin Shenkarow Park, third grader - Marcus Toji Sid - Sam Gifaldi Stinky - Christopher Walberg Wolfgang - Toran Caudell Edmund, fifth grader - Tim Wiley Mickey the Weasel, fifth grader - Marty York     * If you thought "Wolfgang sounds more like Arnold than Arnold does", you may be right, in a way; Wolfgang is voiced by Toran Caudell (who, of course, was Arnold in the first season)     * The kids threw their lunch trays into the trash     * No girls were dumped into trash, and no girls did any dumping, yet all of the fourth grade girls were just as afraid as the boys     * Mickey "the Weasel" has a single eyebrow that looks like a "W" right above his nose     * Bad Hair Day: when Nadine was sitting at her desk, she had brown hair; it was back to its usual blonde color when she left the school     * Somebody Call The Animators: right near the end, when Arnold is trying to talk Wolfgang out of dumping him and Gerald into the trash, there's one frame that, at the bottom, has a rectangular piece of the next scene in it     * Craig Bartlett got a credit as Brainy, but Brainy doesn't appear to speak

Eugene's Pet

Arnold kills Eugene's pet fish with a yo-yo, and not even an imaginary hippo can keep Eugene happy Written by Antoinette Stella Storyboard Direction by Derek Drymon Animation Direction by George S. Chialtas Storyboard Artist: Kurt Dumas Cast: Arnold - Phillip Van Dyke Gerald - Jamil W. Smith Helga - Francesca Marie Smith Phoebe, pet shop girl - Anndi McAfee Eugene - Ben Diskin (credited as "Disken") Harold - Justin Shenkarow Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta Mr. Simmons - Dan Butler     * Killing fish with a yo-yo...now where have I seen that before? On The Simpsons, that's where; Bart killed a couple of fish in his classroom by smashing their tank with a yo-yo in a 1992 episode     * Nobody can make a yo-yo spin fast enough to hang in the air like Arnold's did before it fell in Eugene's fishbowl     * Hatless Alert: right after the toilet flush, and when Arnold's in bed (like in "24 Hours To Live", and unlike in pretty much every other episode where Arnold is in bed)     * Somebody's onto me: I couldn't come up with any matches between the signatures on the aquarium adoption certificate and the names in the credits at the end of the show, although they may have used some staffers' first names and others' last names
