Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
In the opening credits, when all the boys (led by Arnold) are walking down the alleyway, on our right, Harold looks like he's about to walk straight into a bin. After the girls have done their strut, we cut back to the boys - and there is no bin behind Harold. [Actually this was Ruth that happened with. Anyways when we see the girls in the alley again (where the bin last appeared) the bin is indeed behind Ruth. You can see it where the back part of the alley is lighted.]
When the people in the buildings yell "Arnold", Sid and Eugene have switched places. [The way they were when we saw them walking on the street yes. But when this happens the boys are in the alley. Since we haven't seen Sid or Eugene in the alley previously there's no mistake in where they're standing.]
The sun is well above the horizon when they leave the theater, but it sets less than 30 seconds later. [If you look you can see the sun going down when we first see it when they step out of the theater. This is a cartoon so it's perfectly ok to suspend reality for awhile.]
The players are listed by first name on the scoreboard, and their numbers aren't listed, so there's no way of telling which player is which. [It's pretty well implied in this show that everybody knows who everybody is. So having only names is perfectly ok.]
At the end of the first training scene (when Arnold first tries to catch the fly), one of Arnold's feet has no toes; also, just before Arnold falls down the chimney, he has three arms. [No he doesn't have three arms. You are either mistaking his foot when it pops up for a third arm or your mistaking his two arms for three when we see his arms move quickly and the cartoonist make it look a little like he has more than two arms to show his falling like they often do in cartoons.]
When Arnold sets his alarm clock, it says 5:45 (a little early for bed), but when he puts it on his desk, it's 10:30. [5:45 was the time he was setting to wake up, not the actual time. When we see it on the desk we see the actual time.]
When Arnold is fixing Eugene's bike, he's not wearing his hat. [Unless we saw him without his hat a second before this isn't a mistake, even if it's rare for Arnold to not be wearing his hat.]
Towards the end of "Bio Square," Arnold and Helga manage to escape drowning in the titular Square (from a haywire sink leak) by jumping onto her inflatable mattress. The two ants from an experiment by Arnold manage to escape, too, by jumping off a table and onto a floating, half-eaten potato. However, at the end of the episode, when Arnold and Helga are describing their adventure before their science class, Arnold says that the ants "climbed onto the leaf." Knowing how sharp Arnold is, it's unlikely that he mistook the potato for a leaf. This is a simple script error. [Sharpness aside, Arnold is prone to making errors or mistakes. The two were about to drown and the seriousness of the situation might have mistaken him. Also at that point I don't believe there was anything to prove if he even knew the ants made it to safety so he might have believed they climbed onto a leaf. In any circumstance its at best a character mistake.]

How did the fifth graders manage to forget how to score touchdowns, considering that they scored six or seven in the first half and none of Arnold's special plays were for when his team was on defense? [They scored much more than that before Arnold's special plays were done. They got 42. They didn't score any when Arnold's special plays were done because they weren't used to them, and they were pretty tricky.]
When Helga goes into her closet, she has quite a few different dresses, but the one she always wears isn't there. [Of course not, she's wearing it.]
In Helga's dream, her slippers start out pink, but when Inge goes after the pigeon, they're white. [It's her dream, not real. Helga can change whatever she wants in two seconds in her dreams.]
The dental hygenist's hair changes color from red to brown. [No, it's auburn. Auburn hair has red highlights in it, so sometimes it looks red sometimes it looks brown.]
A security guard in the train yard is drinking from a carton of milk depicting the boys. However, they had only been declared missing that afternoon. It is impossible to put out milk cartons that quickly. [It is their cartoon universe. Wile E Coyote can drop an order form into a mailbox and have the package delivered, at the mailbox no less, in about 2 seconds.]

The first time Arnold tries it, he says five, but Rhonda actually makes six moves; the second time, Arnold says three, but Rhonda counts off four. [That's a mistake she made as a character. Not a movie mistake.]
In the first scene where she's shown, Harold's mother is a brunette, but after that she has her normal brownish hair color. [This entry seems somewhat silly, as brunette means brown hair.]
