Why was Arnold scared of Harold in "24hours to live?".

I mean, sure he was picking on him (as he does to lots of kids) but he's also a whimp (hense why he screams for his mommy lol).

Plus He's a bully verbally, but when was the last time he actually POUNDED a kid physically?!?! He's all talk no action and Arnold knows this.

So why was he losing sleep and living in fear for 24 hours?

Harold is bigger, stronger, louder, more intimidating and aggressive....seems scary to me!

But he's a WHIMP! Even Helga could kick his ass and she's smaller than him.

Remember this ....."Help! Mommy!!". Lol

It was early in the show and I don't think it was as obvious that Harold was a whimp earlier on.

Exactly. None of the characters was fully developed at that point.

It was supposed to be the pilot. Honestly though, I didn't really care for this episode or Downtown as Fruits. I always felt like the first two seasons were the weakest.

Yeah, I too find the early episodes to be inferior to what came later.
