Was the subway not working that day?

No cabs?

No Buses?


This was a stupid episode idea by the writers :lol: :lol: :lol:

one thing about the hitchhiker ep that makes it seem dated is the fact that creepy bill lured them to his apartment by promising to let arnold watch his tapes of rocket launchings but today with youtube arnold could just type in a computer search and watch space stuff for hours on end

Arnold should have learned his lesson from that cautionary tale of the pervert who drugged Dudley and lured Arnold in to his pervert web. And where was Kimberly's brain? She was almost an adult. You think she would know better.

I think that the writers had a fascination with kidnapping plots. A year or so later Sam was kidnapped by a crazy couple.

If Kimberly was with Willis instead of Arnold, that weirdo would never have put his kookoo plan into action.

I guess the episode was trying to send the message that criminals prey on

women or children or both.


Because we both know that the man would have never stopped his car if Arnold with Willis or Mr. D.

Encore Black aired that two part episode yesterday. The thing that I just realized is that the writers and producers didn't really offer any alternative means to travel (assuming of course, if you don't have enough money for cab fair) w/o resorting to hitchhiking.
