What are the odds that these kids got repeatedly kidnapped? LOL! I love this show, for real! Happy Holidays everyone!

It would have been interesting if Mr Horton rescued one of the kids from the kidnapper.

What is your deal with Mr Horton about? You must be the unsuccessful actor that played that character and desperately want to relive your most notable role on tv. Get over it and move on.

Happy Holidays!!!

Well in defense of Gordon Jump (NOT Mr. Horton but the actor who played him) he did have a great career in his lifetime before and after his role on this show he was on WKRP in Cincinnati , had several recurring roles on The Love Boat and Growing Pains as well. So I'd hardly call him unsuccessful

Mr. Horton Rules.

That could have been the name of a spinoff, where as part of his parole he has to work as a gym teacher at the school.

Oh he's just trolling. I do the same thing to the people on "The Christmas Card" where I repeatedly talk about how much better it would be if Rip Taylor were in the movie.

Kimberly and Arnold were abducted by a man who gave them a ride. Sam was kidnapped by a man hoping to replace his own deceased son. Were there any other kidnappings on the show?

The closest I could think of were the Mr Horton episodes with Dudley and Arnold but they weren't really kidnapped, as opposed to being in danger.

kinda wondering this too. NYC is a BIG city and it just seems improbable that Kimberly and Arnold and then Sam are kidnapped. What are the odds from the same family.

makes you wonder what the staff of this show really knew, who they were in cahoots with.
