A classic show that is fun for adults too. A show that features a kid that always wants to do the right thing is way too rare these days. Take a look at the shows that are popular right now, like modern family, the goldbergs... these feature spoiled children and parents that lie to each other and everyone else 99% of the time, and think that they are immune to following the rules of society. It's no wonder that the world is like it is right now.

Classic from my childhood. Arnold is better than his girlfriend Helga. Maybe he could smack her in the face for bullying him too much, and I think Arnold's really cute!
