Hey Arnold!

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

Continuity mistake: Harold the Butcher: When Mr. Green tells Harold his week is up and that Harold is done paying him back, both of their aprons have a white oval patch with "Green Meats" printed on it. As the scene continues, the white oval patch vanishes from Harold's apron entirely, and Mr. Green's apron patch loses its white background. (00:18:40)

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)

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)

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: 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. When Mr. Green gives Arnold the package for Grandma, Green's apron changes to the misspelling. Then, when Harold returns to help Green with the crowd of customers, Harold's apron has the misspelling.

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.

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.

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."
