Yep. The mom's "smoothies" are achoholic from the way she acts. I've also heard some say that the dad is abusive. I don't know there's anything specific other than his general demeanor. They were actually going to do a spinoff with Helga. They decided against it because it was "too dark". It would have aired on Nick at Nite. She would have been broken up with Arnold (they would have gotten together in the 2nd movie that never aired) and Arnold moved away. From what I gather they would have ended up together at the end of that series as well. They also planned to reveal Arnold's last name in the 2nd movie. Craig hinted that it was something that his grandfather called him a lot, leading many to believe it is Shortman. So much could have come from that show.
