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."

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

Continuity mistake: Harold the Butcher: Mr. Green's meat store has a shopkeeper bell over its front door that vanishes in some shots, then it reappears. For instance, the bell is gone when Arnold is in the store while Harold sits across the street, but we hear it jingle and then the bell reappears when Harold enters the store.

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

Continuity mistake: Harold the Butcher: In some shots of Mr. Green's meat store, its front door handle switches to the opposite side. Such as at the start, when Harold stops in front of Mr. Green's meat store because he's hungry. Also, while Harold sits across the street from the meat store, Green asks Arnold if Harold is still out there, and the store's front door handle is on the wrong side of the door. Next shot, as Arnold exits the store, the door opens properly. (00:19:30)

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

Continuity mistake: Harold the Butcher: After Mr. Green informs Harold that his week is up, Harold follows Mr. Green into the store, and the green front door remains open. Mr. Green explains that he's getting ready for the annual meat sale, and as Harold begs to keep working in the store, we can see in the background that the store's green front door has vanished. The open green front door is back when Harold exits the store. (00:19:05)

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

Continuity mistake: Harold the Butcher: At Mr. Green's meat store, there are at least two instances that the word "MEATS" is misspelled as "MAETS" on the store's aprons.

Then, when Harold returns to help Green with the crowd of customers, Harold's apron has the misspelling.

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

Continuity mistake: Helga Blabs It All: Phoebe stops the Jolly Olly ice cream truck and gets inside. As they head toward Arnold's house, in the interior shot a rearview mirror appears on the windshield where there wasn't one. Then, when the ice cream truck is parked in front of Sunset Arms, there are some changes to its appearance.

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.

The Aptitude Test / Oskar Gets a Job - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: In "Oscar Gets a Job", Oscar goes around asking people for money. When he talks to Ernie, you can see that there is a phone and a light to the right of the door. When Arnold confronts Oscar in the hall, you can see Ernie's room (7). The phone has disappeared.

Longest Monday / Eugene's Pet - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: In "Longest Monday" at one point in the episode, Arnold and Gerald run off of a bus and down an alley. Two fifth graders come chasing after them. In the next scene, you see Arnold and Gerald hiding in the sewer under the 5th graders. Arnold then crawls through a very narrow tube, and Gerald follows. You then see the end of the tube and Gerald come out of the it first, and Arnold climbs out last. It would be impossible for Arnold and Gerald to switch places inside the tube because it was way too narrow.

Answer: No, he did not. He is seen getting off the bus with a suitcase, so he must have not been home for a few days so there is no way he could have known.
