Suggested correction: Plenty of people don't look before sitting down. I once had someone put a pin on my seat in school and I didn't see it.
I can understand one not catching a small pin on their seat (or clear coloured glue). In fact, that is a pretty common prank. The thing is, Helga put a whole bunch of white glue on Arnold's chair, something so blatantly visible, unlike the other stuff I mentioned. It's just strange to me that Arnold wouldn't see something like that before sitting down in his chair. This also goes for my other entry that you added the same correction for.

Downtown as Fruits / Eugene's Bike - S1-E1
Corrected entry: At the beginning, Iggy can be seen very briefly without his sunglasses.
Correction: What exactly is the trivia here? We simply see Iggy lift up his sunglasses for a short moment; there is nothing substantial about it. And it's not even the only time he is without them; in "Arnold Betrays Iggy," he is not wearing them at all, both at the beginning and the end of the episode.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Continuity mistake: Harold's age is inconsistent throughout the series. Harold has his Bar Mitzvah in "Harold's Bar Mitzvah", establishing that he is 13 years old, and in "Hey Harold!", he tells Patty that he was held back a couple years, which is why he is still in fourth grade. However, in "Helga on the Couch", he is shown in the same preschool class as the other kids, and in "The Journal", he is shown playing in the park with the other kids, and he is a baby just like all of them.

Suggested correction: It's possible that Harold wasn't the only student held back, even though he's older than his classmates. Just a thought.
So? How does that justify him being in the same preschool class as the other kids?
He was probably held back in preschool but was not mentioned.
Fair enough, but he is also in "The Journal" which took place before the kids were in preschool. He is shown playing with the other kids as a baby, and there is no sign of an age difference, even though he is supposed to be 4 years older than them at most. All the other main kid characters are around 9 years old in the fourth grade. It's highly unlikely that Harold would be around those kids as a baby.

Abner Come Home / The Sewer King - S1-E16
Audio problem: When Arnold is playing chess with the Sewer King, Arnold jumps across the table and knocks the King over. This sequence appears to be sped up: the toilet crashes way after it is destroyed, and the King says "Noooooooooooo," yet his mouth never moves.

Suggested correction: The Sewer King's mouth does move, but it does say the line a little too late. However, the toilet crashing sound is exactly where it should be, and the scene is definitely not sped up.

The High Life / Best Friends - S2-E10
Deliberate mistake: In "The High Life", there is a scene where Stinky submerges his head in a tank of water. He delivers the line, "Gee willickers, it's still ticking", and everyone somehow understands what he is saying with his head underwater.

Suggested correction: Nobody responds to what Stinky says, so there's no reason to assume that everyone understood him.

Magic Show / 24 Hours to Live - S1-E18
Audio problem: Helga rides past Arnold in a bus and yells "24 hours until you die!" or something like that. Her mouth never moves- it just stays open in an evil smile.

Suggested correction: Although it's hard to make out, her mouth is moving when she says that. Also, she says "23 hours until you die!" not 24.

The Aptitude Test / Oskar Gets a Job - S3-E9
Revealing mistake: The test paper Eugene put back in Harold's folder is blank.
