The show stars 4th-grader Arnold, who lives with his grandparents Phil and Gertrude, proprietors of the Sunset Arms boarding house. In each episode, Arnold will often help a schoolmate solve a personal problem, or he will encounter a predicament of his own.

Hey Arnold! was created by Craig Bartlett, and based on his clay animation shorts on Sesame Street and comics starring Arnold, whom he created in 1986. The familiar, cel-animated Arnold came about in the mid-1990s when Nickelodeon picked up the new series. Apart from the animation style, Nick's Arnold now wears a sweater, with his plaid shirt untucked (resembling a kilt). Only Arnold's cap remained from his original clay-animation wardrobe.

Hey Arnold! debuted as an animated short for the Nickelodeon film Harriet The Spy in 1996.

The show also aired on "Nick on CBS" in 2002 until September 2004. As of November 2007, the show airs weekdays at 11 AM on Nicktoons Network.

Main article: Hey Arnold!: The Movie

In the 2002 theatrically released film, Arnold and Gerald Johanssen set out on a quest to save their neighborhood from a greedy developer who plans on converting it into a huge shopping mall. This film was featuring the voice talents of Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Sorvino, and Christopher Lloyd. This movie was first intended for television and was made in 2000.

There was to be a second movie, involving Arnold finding a map that might unveil his parents' location. The series was cancelled before it was released.

• It is implied that the city is actually New York City. In many season one episodes and later on, the Brooklyn Bridge was seen as a massive prominent landmark in the city. Other episodes showed the overview of Arnold's Neighborhood, with the New York City skyline in the horizon, complete with the Empire State Building and World Trade Center, suggesting the neighborhood was Brooklyn, or Queens. But later on in the series, the city was revealed to be named Hillwood City, located in Washington.
