The ARG was a "search party" where you text a number on your phone and get responses about where Arnold, Gerald and Helga are. It's not that interesting but cool that they did it.

If by any chance this Hey Arnold movie kills it in the ratings, I literally could see it coming back because it would be a great pairing with TLH, which has a lot of the same charm and groundedness that made Hey Arnold so good back in the day.

I'd also suggest they'd use Hey Arnold to explore more diverse tones of children's shows like TLH has and tackle social issues because the show has such a unique set of characters already.

If this movie does very well in the ratings, this show could come back for it's 6th season.

Ah, I wondered what that was for. I'm in the UK, so couldn't text it.

Hopefully, come Fall, to help get today's generation to watch this movie, Nick has its live action stars take part in promoting it.

I'm sure that Benjamin Flores Jr (of Game Shakers) will be involved since he voices Gerald, and that Kel Mitchell will be involved since he acted on Nick during much of Hey Arnold's original run. But it'd be nice to see stars from Nick's various live action shows encouraging kids to watch this movie.

I wonder if they'll rename the series if they bring it back. (Ex. "Hey Arnold! _____)

Gay Arnold would NEVER work because this is a children's show
Well, standards for what can and can't be accepted in kids shows are loosening up a bit. However, I agree it wouldn't work considering that Arnold has only shown attraction to girls, and none of the close friendships he has with the guys can be interpreted in this light.

On another note, I'm not sure if the success of the movie would lead to a sixth season. Beyond the inevitable complaining from the more hardcore fans about changes being made, there's also the fact that Craig Bartlett is still working on Ready Jet Go for PBS Kids, and Dinosaur Train's fate is still up in the air. We're lucky the movie is being made at all.

I'm pretty sure the new season (if it happened) would just be called Hey Arnold! like usual, just with a modified title sequence, presumably a shot for shot remake of the original to some extent (except I guess with Arnold's parents and maybe Helga being a little less on the angry side?)

It's best to keep it as the same name as before, fans would hate to see the show's name being changed.

Since when has TLH even done that, I'm calling this BAIT
Clyde has 2 dads, and Luna has been revealed to be bisexual. There was also a character with down syndrome (I think his name was CJ and he appeared in relative Chaos) that was treated like a normal person.

Wow. I would have never seen this coming. Gay couple, yes. Bisexual, no.
May I ask what episode had this reveal?
It's from the episode "L Is for Love"

It's not explicitly stated that she's bisexual, but the idea that she's bi comes from a previous episode (Study Muffin) in which she was apparently attracted to Lincoln's handsome tutor. But then so were all the other female Loud siblings, so it could be that she's bi or it could just be an oversight by the writers.

That's pretty weaak man, only three examples, shows like Steven Universe and Hey Arnold went way and beyond there witha lot of different issues but lets get back on topic

You did not explain the third one besides the other two that was mentioned.

Wanted to watch some more Samurai Pizza Cats, but when I went to Prime I was met with a message saying the rights expired.

So, is there any other way to watch the show(legally of course)? I'd love to get the DVD set, but unfortunately what I'm finding is a bit too pricey.

Yūji Ueda voice of Takeshi/Brock and Musashi's Sonas (Jessie's Wobbuffet) voiced Destra Majjo in Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. Also Oven Jamen in Mashin Sentai Kiramager.

I mean, I get finding love can be a heart wrenching thing, but serving a big bad isn't the way to go.
