This review is from: Hey Arnold! Season 4 (4 Disc Set) (DVD)

I was so happy to purchase Hey Arnold! seasons one and two from Amazon's Made On Demand Create-a-space. I wasn't sure if they would continue with the releases but am very excited to see that they have released Hey Arnold! seasons four and five (and after I initially wrote this the third season became available!!!). It's great to have two more seasons of this great series being made available on DVD for fans. Season four contains the following nineteen episodes, some consisting of two eleven minute halves and others being a full twenty-two minutes which makes 33 stories in all:

67 Back to School/Egg Story
68 It Girl/Deconstructing Arnold
69 Grudge Match/Pollishing Rhonda
70 Weird Cousin/Baby Oskar
71 Grandpa's Sister/Synchronized Swimming
72 Helga Sleepwalks/Fighting Families
73 Friday the 13th/Headless Cabbie
74 Veterans day
75 Helga on the Couch
76 Dino Checks Out
77 Monkeyman!/Buses, Bikes and Subways
78 Helga's Masquerade/Mr. Green Runs
79 Sid the Vampire Slayer/Big Sis
80 Bag of Money/Principal Simmons
81 New Bully on the Block/Phoebe Breaks a Leg
82 Parents Day
83 Helga's Locket/Sid and Germs
84 Suspended/Ernie in Love
85 Summer Love (a.k.a. Beach Story)

The show found their niche in these later seasons with episodes focusing more on Helga's unexplained adoration of Arnold and the dissection of her complicated character, as well as episodes that frequently found her character's secret at risk of being revealed. Great episodes this season focusing on those ideas are Helga's Masquerade, Helga's locket and fan favorite Helga on the Couch. Summer Love is also a great twenty two minute long episode with multiple fun stories. Other episodes continue with the entertaining idea of branching out the series focus to not just be on Arnold but on his various classmates and sometimes to great comedic affect, the tenants in his grandparents apartment building.

The sense of humor in these 'older' shows can play to a more immature childish sense of humor, guy gets hurt or bodily function, but for the most part what I respect about nineties television is that children were never told when to laugh. The jokes were simply presented to us and the character's played things pretty straight, never hitting us over the head, helping our generation understand irony and the actual art of sarcasm. Something I feel is lost in most children's television nowadays where children are told when to laugh by laugh track or by the characters playing it so over the top, it leaves youth today not understanding the subtlety of good humor.

I own the first two seasons of this show as well as seasons of Rugrats and Doug on Amazon DVD-R and they play great on all my DVD players. I tend to be uptight about things being quality and have never been bothered by these sets. The show looks as good as when it originally aired in the nineties. The sets have simple DVD menus, packaging and artwork but it all looks nice enough and gets the job done. My only issue with these sets, me being a purist, is that I'd prefer the option of watching the opening theme before every episode but it only plays before the first on each disc. They do this to preserve the quality of the episodes due to compression issues that could start arising and I'm aware most people skip openings anyway, so it's forgivable. Also, don't expect any sort of special features, just the episodes themselves.

While it's upsetting that these older Nickelodeon series aren't being released on proper studio made DVD sets I thank Amazon for at least making it possible for fans like me to own these episodes on DVD in decent quality and proper order. Hopefully good sales on these Amazon Made On Demand sets can still convince Nickelodeon to consider proper season releases of their old series with special features, but until the day Nickelodeon realizes the cash to be made in the remarketing of their nineties shows on DVD I'm more than happy to give my business to Amazon and buy these sets. FIVE STARS for the fourth season on DVD-R. I miss growing up in the nineties, thanks for your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much better than what Nickelodeon is showing today, April 24, 2010

This review is from: Hey Arnold! Season 4 (4 Disc Set) (DVD)

I loved watching Hey Arnold as a child in the late nineties/early two thousands. Hey Arnold is so much better than Cat Scratch or Penguins of Madagascar, or quite frankly any recent Nickelodeon shows. I miss these shows. They should also put the Wild Thornberries out of DVD as well, that was a good one too. In regards to the Hey Arnold DVD set, I was very pleased with it, it's perfect. Everything arrived in one piece and I have no complaints in regards to shipping or anything like that. You'll love these.
