    I think Philip Drummond's home penthouse suite was much closer than 45 minutes to Harlem. His penthouse suite was at 697 Park Avenue in Manhattan. I don't know exactly where the boys had resided in Harlem. But according to mapquest it is approximately four miles and fifteen minutes away. It might be even closer by subway. But even though Harlem and Park Avenue are geographically close they are worlds apart.

      In many Spanish speaking countries the title of the show is "Blanco y Negro" (White and Black). The following are some more international titles:
      Spain - Arnold
      France - Arnold et Willy (Arnold and Willy)
      Venezuela - Arnold el travieso (Arnold the Mischievous One)
      Italy - Harlem contro Manhattan (Harlem v. Manhattan) 198081, Il mio Amico Arnold (My Friend Arnold) 19811986, Arnold after 1988
      Brazil - Minha Famlia uma Baguna (My Family is a Mess) 20062007, Arnold 20092012
      Japan - Anorudo boya wa ninkimono (Little Boy Arnold is Popular)
      Taiwan - Little Rascal
      Germany - Noch Fragen Arnold? (Any More Questions Arnold?)
      There are quite a few others that I found but only know the English translations though, not the actual title in the other language:
      China - Lazy Americans are Doomed
      Russia - Look at Those Weaklings
      Ireland - Wee Brown Leppercorns
      The Netherlands - Duuuuuuude! What's Going On?
      Romania - Old Man Phil, the Child Molester
      Afghanistan - Beware, Infidels!
      Norway - Turn off TV, Is Time to Go to Discotheque
      Argentina - Everybody's Dead but Willis (And He Just Got Really Lucky)
      Here are a couple in the country's language that I don't know the English translations for:
      Mexico - Los Hijos de Felipe Despues del Fuego
      Kenya - Pop-click-tik-tik-tik

        I agree with BM.
        No, not Bowel Movement.
        Yeah, those are funny!
        And I don't doubt they are true!

            I declare today as Arnold Jackson reference day.
            And here is the Whirlpool guy about to rape Arnold and Dudley after softening them up with some Jesus juice first!

              So it was all just an act for Pedo Pete who was hiding out as bumbling, idiot oaf Mr. Carlson as the CEO of a radio station in SINcinatti.
              Then just as they were closing in he moved to NY to go black and never go back.

                After this episode, Mr. Horton went on to guest star on the show Small Wonder where he was electrocuted to death when he tried to rape Vicki.

                  Is that what they say?
                  Maybe that is the excuse they gave to be less embarrassing when he tried to take a bath in a Whirlpool and spun himself to death.
                  I dunno bro.
                  I think the truth is somewhere in between.
                  Like trying to rape Vicki bending her over a Whirlpool during the spin cycle!

                      Germany - Noch Fragen Arnold? (Any More Questions Arnold?)
                      I love this one, so literal and funny all at once. Obviously chosen due to his catchphrase "What cha talkin' about?" the kid asked a lot of questions lol
                      Sometimes a movie or tv show plot is so stupid that only the stupid can understand it.

                        Most shows and movies have altered titles, usually the reason is that there is already some shows and movies that have a similar title(s). Other reasons included not to be related to an event or a disaster. Some titles are changed to reflect the cast or characters who is/ are very popular.
