The ep with Lisa's Mother showed that Arnold was not a normal 12 year old - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Now he went through all that trouble to sabotage Lisa's sciene project and when it blew up in her face and she started crying, he starts feeling BAD??? But Dudley and Robbie was laughing and stupid Arnold tells on himself. Why couldn't Arnold be more like Dudley?

He should have just been honest with lisa and just told her that he had a crush on her which was clear after he started feeling bad.

Lisa was such a one-note character--she never changed, she never learned her lesson. The producers blew an opportunity to have her grow as a character. She and Arnold could have made a nice couple--a jr version of Sam and Diane!

Yes she was, by time she was making a turn around it was in the last season and it was too late

What ever happened to the girl who played Lisa? Has she been in anything since DS?

Yeah I just read, NOW I remember who she was, she was one of Ron's ex-flings. She was like a "Valley girls" type of character. And she had short short hair.

There is a thread somewhere else on here that shows a current picture--she's a knockout! And she is now running a clothes boutique, after years of being behind the scenes in the movies.

Why do you expect a young boy to behave maturely and to be honest abt his feelings towards a girl? Young boys do foolish things when they like a girl and the last thing they say is, "I have a crush on you."

At 12??-lol Dudley was doing it-lol Arnold was just acting 7 instead of 12 imo. Don't argue with her, holla at her-LOL

Ireneparalegal · 05-18-2008, 11:23 PM

So because Dudley did it right, Arnold should too?

Not every boy is the same. Remember, Arnold did some crazy crap like dress up like Mr. T.

I don't expect any 12 year old to know how to behave around the opposite sex. Men in their 30's sometimes behave stupid around women.

Just like in the ep when he was a JUDGE and it came down between making a decison between his GIRLFRIEND and his GOOFY FRIEND ROBBIE, he says Robbie was not a NERD???? I was like-"Come on you don't chose your GIRL over your friend-lol

Bros before...you know.

AGAIN SOLOMON, Arnold is 12 years old! This is not a guy in his 20's with a girlfriend. Why you expect a child to choose a girl over his dear friend is beyond me.

At 8 yes, 12 going on 13 NO!!!!!. Again, Dudley showed that Arnold wasn't a realistic 12 year old.

Just like in season 8, this ep is coming up, Arnold had a chance to date a cheerleader at the age of 15 and he chose the unattractive girl because he felt bad instead of hanging out with dudley and going out with a cute cheerleader

LET"S HEAR IT FOR MY MAN DUDLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!lol
