| - ":it's nothin' but mud, honey. it's true, on the trail it was mostly coffee, beans, bacon. beef jerky and buffalo chips weasel jerky. rabbit stew. ...corn meal. If you ever play the game that's all I seemed to ever had... oh and lard How many scripts for PW are completed if the series is picked up? And will typical episodes run a full half-hour or two 11 minute? i really don't know. if they wanted a series, they'd order like 13. 22 minute would prob be better instead of 2 11's or they could order more tv movies true, and the may work beter with voice talent like Sean Astin yeah which inspires me for a question... okay, sean astin question what was it like working with him? I've been a huge Sean Astin fan for years i was so excited when i heard he would be in it sean is the nicest guy he delivered all his lines to perfection, in my opinion but the whole cast is great Craig, I see that some of the Party Wagon cast members came from the Hey Arnold cast as well. Is this true? yeah, you got Jim Lang and Tuck Tucker working there too huh? yeah, the whole usual gang of suspects you know whats with 2 or 3 HA episodes that hasnt aired yet? they say that they've aired them all No, they haven't. exactly Grandpa's Packard/Phoebe's Little Problem i guess there's one left. Don would know! i love Grandpa's Packard. the jolly olly man does a wonderful breakdown scene at the end. next q? Dan Castellaneta is awesome yeah, I love Dan. What about Phoebe's Little Problem? Do you like that one too? yeah, it's good too. stinky reads a very funny poem. I've been waiting to see that one forever, it sounded great when they did promos... and then they don't show it Whats with Gerald liking that one girl in Gerald vs Jamie O... Isnt he suppose to like Phoebe? ha! yeah. gerald was pretty much ignoring phoebe that ep, wasn't he? Craig, congrats on Party W. thanks vito WIll you hire me and Danica again? oh my god it's you, vito! how are ya? Fine. It's JP there isn't a chance of any Hey Arnold! Season DVDs is there? Nick would probably cram a HA! DVD with like 10 SpongeBob episodes anyway lol at Wenstrom well theres a zim dvd... so yeah maybe yeah, about the arnold dvds i guess y'all will have to request those too. more dang letters! i hope that the whole series is available on dvd someday. It will be or my name ain't Steve Socki we'll be busy with all the requesting we'll be doing family guy did very well on DVD and more episodes are being made now because of it Simpsons, too hopefully that could happen with us too so craig, ready to tell us arnold's last name?;D HA! Its shortman isnt it? LOL isnt it jones? Or Pataki not pataki Or SIMPSON NO It can't be Pataki, omg ya know what I mean? hehe ok good do you have a last name in mind, Craig? of course! we took our time and then it occured to us arnold swank swank SWANK???????????????????????????????????? Skank???? that's just kim nice one kim maybe it's Schwartzeneger not that arnold! hasta la vista, Lila""" Is there anything like, related to Hey Arnold, like cels or something that you're willing to sell? I have, like $300 well, I'm not selling off anything yet Someone was selling one on EBAY dont know if it was real I'm not really into the whole ebay thing yet. I'm trying to get my hands on a cel write to me, I'll send ya something. Craig--Would you be willing to sell your old sneakers? now sneakers, yes. lol@VITO I got a production book of HA off ebay I bid $300 on a Hey Arnold press kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! really...? now Silb that's just plain crazy. craig, can I buy your underwear? and your favorite tshirt? and your sweat? ha Real nice and your wife? no, Lisa wouldn't go for it. I bid 1 million for an Arnold sculpture made of mable mable? marble or maple? maple sugar How was Mtv involved with HA? It was in the production book Mtv... not much. they're the parent company, though so we'd meet in NY sometimes the president of Mtv, Tom Freston, is a very cool guy I liked talking to him he kind of flies around and hangs out with Bono kind of thing not like the rest of us how did arnold know summer's name? does he have ESP? cause she never mentioned her name to him :p arnold knew her name before she told him? yea Cartoon logic come on, it happend off screen. Lol i guessed... or she had a name tag or something Or he heard it through the grapevine Arnold can obviously read minds, thanks to the angulation of his head How did you expect everyone to hate Lila? at first, we didn't hate Lila. she was very innocent but after a while, she started seeming evil it was so subtle, we didn't realize it for a long time I like Lila, she just needs to stay away from Arnold yeah, that gal's trouble So Arnold loves jazz . . . does he listen to cd comps or 78's I bet he likes them both but nowadays he'd be burning his own CD comps This relates back the the voice over work, Do you just decide one day to meet some actor you like and call them to do a voice, or is ther planing involved? casting a show takes a lot of work first we make a list of likely people nowadays I have a lot of "regulars" that I'd always start with but, for example, Sean was a new one Joey Paul recommended him, bless her heart So you don't ever say "I want to meet insert fav celeb here>" and call them? I guess, but mostly the voice over people are all about voiceover like Dan Castellaneta, though he does "on camera" work too gotta like dan... yeah. he was underused in PW. I cast him after I knew it would be feature length I didnt get to see it because CN changes to sports midday, But I want to. So is it going to be out to buy or are they going to air it in the morning or early afternoon? I'll ask the people in Atlanta, and when I know I'll post it on Kim's site well hey arnolds grandma/grandpa make any apperances on PW? surly they were alive during that time period yeah, grandma and grandpa as kids =) I've got a question. Where do we get in contact with you Craig? ha!! you can write me at Cartoon Network when you do, include your email addy because it's so much easier to write back email thanks Cartoon Network is in Burbank right? yep, Burbank, beautiful downtown Burbank I just wrote you last week did you send an envelope, too? I put in a self adressed stamped envelope Im near burbank, If I show up will you let me in? yes although Gerri the receptionist is pretty tough Are you serious? Or am I being gulible again? oh, yeah! don't worry, I'll write back So if Arnold finds his parents in San Lorenzo is he going to stay with them? yep craig what do you think of the current condition of nick? you know, Nick is doing very well. they keep developing new stuff, and they still rule in the ratings so they feel like they're doing fine. And they're still making $$ off Hey Arnold and in general, if they promote something, it gets tons of viewers so y'know, they go "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" which isn't so good for Hey Arnold because we're so last year or last two years will there ever be a full nick movie in theatres again?!? all ive been seeing is those dumb mini-movies the Nick movies have kind of tapped out. there will be a Spongebob movie in the fall Tuck's working on it So, I'm to understand that Arnold got his name from the same person that Chief Clancy Wiggum got his name from? Silb, that is an interesting piece of trivia. well, we went over all of our relatives' names when we named Arnold and Lisa's uncle Arnold is Arnold Wiggum... so... kinda what were some of the other names you had in mind? oh, we made a huge list but I think I've lost it that was long ago you ever going to have a female main character? interesting I'm thinking of all the stuff I'm working on Lenny and Nate is really Lenny and Nate and Ronnie (Dirk's little sister) so she's not the lead. yeah and Party Wagon is like that too Well... The Patakis would be a female lead (hint) yeah, the closest I ever came was Helga in The Patakis I've got one... did you feel a similiar connection to PW as you do Arnold? What about Lenny and Nate? yes, PW is just like Hey Arnold in the way I relate to the characters I was a lot like Randy when I was 16 cool, cool.. Good job with Romeo's voice btw =) thanks, but y'know, I wasn't at all like Romeo he's more like those guys in high school who play the guitar in a band and all the girls like him but he's dumb as a board I cast myself as Romeo so I wouldn't do any damage you notice he says very little Hey Craig!!!! I want to see your new cartoon, but I can't because cartoon network turns to sports at 3pm, how can I see it!!!!!!!!! I hope that CN puts PW out as a DVD that's the best hope for it, you can all see it in its commercial free glory they probably will put it out, I certainly hope so and will work on them also, if it's out on DVD, you won't have to see the interstitial stuff they put on it I kept seeing scooby doo commericals during party wagon, it was annoying and worst of all, they clobbered the song and credits at the end I was appalled there's a really good song, natch That was a weird tin toy thing and instead, this tin toy hehe, weird, I thought the same thing... WHY ARE THEY CUTTING THE SONG?!?! ;D the entire CN stuff between commericials and the show were all weird yep the credits were so tiny, the actors can't even show up bummer. so let's all get the DVD Didn't you say you played the guitar for it? ha, yeah, I play the guitar on the end credit song and the harmonica! the big battle scene yeah, write to Jim Lang and ask for an mp3 of it What about a gutar tab? guitar tab? might take a while to get that actually Jim Lang is great about sharing music files, if ya ask him. Just thought I'd mention this for anyone interested, Jim Lang has a website up at: on his site you can download Arnold cues Good stuff there I have abut a thousand on my iPod some of my faves I like the slippage song yeah, Slippage is good, Sue slippage If I hear the word "slippage" one more time... Is Mr. Simmons into guys? well, Mr. Simmmons is gay, yes the Thanksgiving special covers that whole thing Yeah, he isnt married I just thought he was overly "touchy and feely"... like a highschool guidance councellor ;P y'know, the Thanksgiving special is one of my faves. when Helga leaves the dinner table and when she and Arnold meet out on the street and then their scene with Simmons at his place are my fave scenes ever Jim's music... so good. you should ask him for those! now there's some good mp3 Craig.... Whats your very top fav episode? fave top episode hmmmm tough it's actually a long list I like Helga's Parrot. LMAO! yes, Parrot! and all the "Helga trying to get into Arnold's house" eps Parrot, Helga's Locket... Married those are all very fun to watch My favorite is "What's Opera Arnold?" yeah, I love the Opera I like the episodes that are a riot... aka the episodes with Curly funny that you mention Curly. becuase Lenny is a kind of 13 year old Curly who claims he's from another planet Lenny comes from Bortron Seven I love to write, what's the best way to get out there and going with my work? do you want to write for TV? or journalism? or books? If I could, that would be great! Yes, books too TV writing is mostly out here in L.A., and movies too. although it's kind of a joke that everyone in L.A. is working on a screenplay but so what, just do it. too many earthquakes in LA yeah, we're overdue for a quake Why does that story take place with just a week long summer vacation, instead of three months? (married) it must have been Spring Break. Are any of the "lesser" boarders still around (Mr. Smith, Lana Vail, Mr. Purdy)? Not seen bud still present? Mr. Smith seems to have flown away Lana Vail left in 1996 It was 1996, but we saw her in the 1998 episode "DInner For Four" really? wow, I forgot she lives somewhere in the city Mr. Purdy is lurking around somewhere with his chicken Not at the Sunset Arms though? no, it ended up Mr. Hyunh, Oskar, and Ernie Is the Author in CRABBY AUTHOR based on someone you know? Crabby Author is completely made up most authors I've met have been very nice I always wanted to meet Dr. Seuss He's 100, you know I love the way Arnold sounds when hes reading the book in crabby author whos that, spencer klien? its Phillip Van Dyke right, Phillip I love Phillip's voice it's very Arnoldy Is Franny really like Helga? ha! Franny is Helga, man I kid Franny is much nicer than Helga but y'know, Franny tapped into something very powerful and it must be her, too which brings me to my next question yes? Helga IS only mean because of what happened in preschool right? She's really nice isnt she? well, Helga had a crummy childhood in general y'know Helga probably inherited her bad attitude from Bob you mean why she's so mean to Arnold? it's just an act Shes mean to EVERYONE oh except Phoebe sometimes How'd they become best friends? I should do an ep where we see Helga and Phoebe in preschool becoming best friends Helga is more like Big Bob than either cares to admit yeah, she's a Pataki, through and through Does Arnold have a middle name? Miles maybe? man, we've barely got a last name! Or Phil I guess it's Phil because that would make Phil happy lol, seriously, you might as well just give us his full name, hint, hint ;D yeah, but what if Nick decides to bring HA! back just to tell everybody his last name? I can't tell you now, I'd blow it! I had an idea for the Jungle Movie in the opening scene, a man comes to the door of the boarding house package for Arnold ______ and Arnold signs his name right, that's how you find out. Whens Helga birthday...End of march right? right, a week before April 1st How old would she be this year if she aged since the show first came out? the April Fools episode premiered in 2002, so if it was "last weekend", it would be March 30 or 31 stop the caps, BSilb1, we have enough of them already Caps confuse him I'm confused! YOU'RE CONFUSING ME!! Creeepy, very creeepy very crispy, that's how Mr. Hyunh used to say it it's very crispy You sound like Harold LOL! Fortress Mommy!!! madame fortress mommy I hear Justin Shenkarow made that up yep he was on a roll that day and he didnt know he said it? no, he seemed to forget what had just come out of his mouth a true artiste is four eyed jack from HA! related to three eyed jack in PW? ha! they must be I love Three Legged Bob Jack and Bob have an interesting relationship I would have Jack, Bob, and Walleyed Tom stick together for the series Who is your favorite character on PW? tough! I really like Bumpy and Sue but Jill is so great and so on How come their eyes are so......beady? I like beady eyes, it's a little Olive Oyl I call 'em "shoe button eyes" Bumpy and Sue have 'em SPINOFF of Ornery Sue? yeah, Ornery Sue deserves her own show I figure like episode 50, Ornery Sue and Randy finally get it on get it on? hm I think I'll skip that one in a tasteful way hehe well that makes it better I guess I've got a question if no one wants to ask one :p. what was the deal with the wedding? Why was everyone so angry? I like that the whole wedding disaster is unexplained if the show went to series, you'd find out Randy had to run for it because the gun went off I think "his father-in-law to be got a finger shot off" was my original idea we storyboarded it, but standards said no way anyway, Randy had to run for it hence the dress Can you give me a brief overview of PW and the characters so I know what you guys are talking about? a brief overview of PW? Randy, age 16, runs away from his shotgun wedding in Maine goes west, hooks up with everyone else in the party wagon when they cross the Missouri raft sinks in rapids, crazy prospector Three Eyed Jack gives them a map to hidden diamond mine El Glitterado off they go! something like that So which side is Cousin Arnie from? His Dad's side Arnie must be from his mom's side, though... the football head! he's pretty scary though, neither side claims him plain flavored gum is great gum, plain flavored gum I noticed something...Randy's name is smiliar to Ruth's with the R P McD thing right, Randal P. McDuff, Ruth P. McDougal I like P as a middle initial Arnold P... Phil of course shoot, I better get going so long everybody!! it was nice to hear your voices we'll chat again soon, no? write to both Nick and Cartoon Network and demand stuff! pretend you're nine! eight is good too six to eleven, that's their bread and butter. but 49 is okay too adios mi amores
