This post is part of Debutniverse, a series where I watch just the first episode of various cartoons. The blog is also hosted on Neocities.
First episode title: Downtown as Fruits / Eugene's Bike
How familiar with the show am I?: I watched some of it as a kid, including this specific episode (or at least the first segment), but I don't remember much of it.
Is this the first episode?: There was a separate pilot episode, but it was later remade as an episode of the actual show, which is a clear indication that the pilot doesn't count.
Arnold is a kind young boy with a very weirdly shaped head, nicknamed "football head" by those who like to insult him. He has a best friend called Gerald, and there's this girl called Helga who bullies Arnold but is secretly in love with him. Also this is one of those shows where all the children are voiced by actual children, which is nice.
