Unpopular opinion: People keep saying 'Hey Arnold!' was just a cartoon about city life

Honestly, that show tackled some heavy stuff for kids, like Helga's home life. I rewatched the 'Parents Day' episode last week and it hit different as an adult. Anyone else have a show that got deeper on a rewatch?

Watched Rocko's Modern Life as an adult and realized half the jokes were about capitalism and existential dread.

Saw a video essay that broke down the "Stoop Kid" episode. It wasn't just a joke about a kid afraid to leave his steps, it was a legit metaphor for agoraphobia and anxiety. That show was low-key genius for how it handled real issues.

Remember my friend who finally left his apartment after years, just like Stoop Kid?
