Undertones in Hey Arnold we didn't notice as a kid
There use to be a list here and I was going to copy it to my friend but IMDB only holds a few discussions and deletes whatever was on the bottom of the list. So I wanted to make a brand new list and I want to see what you guys add to this. So here is my go on this:
1)
Episode: Helga on the Couch
Dr. Bliss:
Mmhmm.
Helga:
It's okay to be obsessed about him? Y'know, the shrines and stuff, the 3 AM vigils, the tantric spells?
Dr. Bliss:
As long as you're not hurting anyone, it sounds like an okay way to express yourself.
Helga:
So, animal sacrifices are out.
Dr. Bliss:
Yes, I'm afraid so.

Tantric Spells - (a Sanskrit word which means "woven together") is a term applied to several divergent and even contradictory schools of Hindu yoga in which the sexual union of... male and female is worshipped either in principle or in human practice.

2) Episode: Helga's Parrot
"Arnold, my love, my sultry preteen,
Why must I hold you only whilst I dream?
Will I be forever enslaved by your spell?
Why must I worship you and never ever tell?
Arnold, you make my girlhood tremble,
My senses all go wacky.
Some day I'll tell the world, my love,
Or my name's not Helga G. Pataki."

Girlhood - Private Area for a female.
