I loved Arnie...am I in the minority here? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I really loved the character Arnie. I found him funny and I loved it when he was Elvis' ghost on two Halloween episodes. He was hilarious looking. I get the feeling that a lot of the fans of Roseanne didn't care for his character. I really enjoyed all the episodes that he was in. I especially liked the two-parter Vegas episodes and the one where he slept with Jackie.

OMG, that episode is hilarious with him doing the announcing. I think the fact that he is supposed to be annoying (hence, why no one likes him on the show) but he is so funny at it, which is why I love his character.

i liked his character because annoying characters can be so darn funny. I wish his character could have stayed the entire series but that wasn't gonna happen with the divorce and all.

Did any of you watch that roseanne movie? was it just me or was that really confusing? plus that women who played roseanne did her no justice at all lol.

So true. A lot of things changed on ROSEANNE because of that marriage and divorce.

Arnie was always fidgeting because at that time Tom Arnold was using whatever drug he used (some type of speed?) before he cleaned up.

I loved the Arnie character. He was meant to be annoying and disgusting. I liked the Vegas ones and it was also funny in the barbecue episode where the kids are picking teams for basketball and Arnie is next to last, fidgeting, and saying "Pick me. I'm good."

He was also good with Nancy. They had an off-beat chemistry.

I also thought it was cool that Thomas Arnold played Arnold Thomas.

I liked Arnie, you aren't alone. Don't really care for Tom Arnold as a person, but he was ok on the show. Also, he did write the PMS episode, can't knock him for that.

A while back, in an appearance with guest host Kathie Lee Gifford on Late Night with David Letterman, Tom told her about his web site, that supposedly over half a million women have checked out, on which he invites ladies to register for dates with him. Along with his dating requirements, Arnold says that more than anything, he wants to get married and have a family. He states he has "Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and a low sperm count, but he can still impregnate you." Maybe that contributes to the "fidgets" (the statement in bold, not the "sperm count" remark, that is!)

I was never a fan of either Tom Arnold or Arnie, but there was something about the way Tom and Roseanne looked at each other when Arnie first came on the show that told me that they really loved each other. It's too bad that they split up the way that they did.
