  I never noticed how proud the librarian looks when she lets Oscar read aloud. No judgement, no mocking, no strict adherence to pronunciation. She sees he's a man that hasn't been educated well and gives him respect and motivation to keep learning.

  Can I just say the child voice actors on this show were so talented. Especially the actors for Helga and Sid.

  I think the Curly episode is a good reminder that a big reason kids of all ages act out is because they don't feel heard. It may manifest in meltdowns, lashing out, withdrawing, etc. Eventually it will impact their mental health and self esteem, so these behaviors are important to notice and address.

  Man I miss this show. The creators did NOT hold back and did not patronize its audience. Its as real as real can be for a children's TV show. Adults can still enjoy this today as well.

  fun fact: they pronounce &quot;Kokoshka&quot; as &quot;Kakashka&quot; which in Russian means &quot;piece of shit&quot;<br>of course it&apos;s unintentional yet very funny and perfectly describes his character

  Bartlett hated the &quot;pigeon man committed suicide&quot; theory so much that he went on a mini rant about it and said that he added pigeon man in the movie out of spite of that theory.

  I was surprised at the lack of Helga episodes, but then I remembered she&apos;ll need a whole series to deal with all her dark madness.

  Arnold is the kid we all wished we were. He was the really balanced, compassionate, Matured, relaxed and brave.

  &quot;You talking to me?&quot;<br>&quot;No, I didn&apos;t say anything.&quot;<br><br>One of the most memorable lines from this show. 🤣🤣

  The theory that the end of the Pigeon Man episode is a metaphor for him committing suicide has been discredited by Criag Bartlett. He said something to the effect of, &quot;That was never our intention, to imply that he killed himself. Some people have forgotten what it&apos;s like to be a kid, to just accept that, &apos;Sure, this guy could be flown off into the sky by a bunch of pigeons.&apos; They need to remember what it&apos;s like to embrace magical realism.&quot;

  Curly Snaps is particularly eerie when you realize that it aired 7 months before the Columbine shooting.

  Only this show can talk about predators and grooming in a subtle and respectful manner
