Samurai Jack got it. Even Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero dodged the bullet and got a really good ending. Now Hey Arnold! finally got it. The next two Nicktoons slated to get TV movies are Rocko's Modern Life and Invader Zim, the latter of which should get a definite finale.<br /><br />And lastly, there's one other cartoon that I want to see get closure by creator's consent: Wander Over Yonder. The SaveWOY movement is still building up, but I know we'll prevail in time.Mr. Sighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179574858607908149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-86703657731475840572012-08-08T14:23:48.937-04:002012-08-08T14:23:48.937-04:00Nickelodeon's programmers probably didn't ...Nickelodeon's programmers probably didn't think it'd work, and the fact that the 2nd Rugrats movie didn't exactly break box office records didn't help the cause.....hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-49695126023949353872012-08-08T13:29:00.523-04:002012-08-08T13:29:00.523-04:00Maybe Arnold was young, but if the Rugrats could s...Maybe Arnold was young, but if the Rugrats could still have adventures in a jungle while still wearing diapers while separated from their families, then Nick could have allowed some closure with his parents' storyline.magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-61702600742618667322012-08-08T09:15:36.865-04:002012-08-08T09:15:36.865-04:00It seemed to me that Nick didn't want to go th...It seemed to me that Nick didn't want to go there and focus instead on Arnold and his pals. He wasn't old enough to have the courage to travel and locate his folks just yet.<br /><br />A follow-up series, be it on Nick or elsewhere (it's up to Bartlett, I think), and set with Arnold now all grown up, might work. Problem is, the reruns are on Nicktoons, which isn't as available as Nick or TeenNick. Their loss, as usual.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-54965274501739205472012-08-08T05:22:44.755-04:002012-08-08T05:22:44.755-04:00This was a very likeable show!

He would go to sleep gazing at the stars each night.<br /><br />My one main disappointment with this show was never getting the full story on Arnold's parents and what happened to them. I remember they were supposed to be missionaries or some such thing, and were lost while on their way to help a remote village. The series seemed to lead that Arnold was going to go and find them, but then... nothing!magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
