Hey Arnold!

Helga Blabs It All / Harold the Butcher - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: Helga Blabs It All: While Helga goes after the tape at Sunset Arms, room numbers repeatedly change/vanish, or doors disappear and reappear. Some examples: Door 3 vanishes when Helga lowers herself via rope the first time. When Arnold unfolds the attic stairway, the closest doors are 7 and 8, but when Arnold and Gerald run down those stairs, door 8 changes to door 1. When Grandpa talks to Mr. Hyunh, door 1 is now door 3. When Grandpa and Ernie enter Hyunh's room, door 7 becomes door 5. When Grandma exits door 4, it then changes to door 2.

Suggested correction: Other than the few episodes that take place during a specific time of year; these episodes are not meant to be taken in chronological order. Just roughly in the same 4th grade school year.

Suggested correction: I agree with the other correction, but it's also worth noting that in the production order, "Teacher's Strike" was made before "New Teacher" was. They were just aired out of order, just like many of the other episodes.

Downtown as Fruits / Eugene's Bike - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the Eugene's Bike episode, when Arnold has to tie his shoe, he sets his books down on a bike in a bike rack. This causes the bike to tip over and makes all the other bikes in the rack to fall down. Eugene's bike falls into the middle of the street and get ran over. When Eugene finds out his bike is destroyed, he looks at Arnold and yells. Right after this you get a good look at the bike rack. You'll notice there are no bikes in or around the bike rack.

Ghost Bride/Gearold VS Jameo - S5-E25

Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are running from the second ghost bride, they go into a crypt and close the doors. One of the kids puts a shovel through the handles to keep it shut. In the next shot, it's gone. In the shot after that it's back.

Show generally

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?

zenee

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.

Ransom / Ms. Perfect - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: In "Miss Perfect", Helga, Rhonda, Sheena, Phoebe, and Nadine are cooking up ways to make Lila's (the new girl) life miserable. In one shot, Rhonda is wearing her new blue outfit. When the scene cuts to the boys and Lila, and then back to the five girls, Rhonda is wearing her standard red sweater and black pants. For the rest of that day, she is back in her new outfit.

Girl Trouble / School Dance - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: Besides the fact that when Helga is sharpening her pencil, the desk arrangement changes, one of the students visible when she looks at Arnold is... Helga. This happens because the shot is taken from the episode "Helga's Love Potion."

Dinner for Four / Phoebe Skips - S4-E5

Rhonda: She asked you to do WHAT to my Caprini cardigan?
Lila: Snip the tags out?
[Helga grabs Lila].
Helga: Lila, what are you doing? You're not supposed to ask her!
Lila: I just didn't feel right about destroying Rhonda's personal property... without getting her permission first. It seemed, well, ever so wrong.
Helga: Yeah, well, guess what? You're ever so FIRED!
