A A, Dowd?

…and over and over and over…

I didn't remember Hamster Huey having quite that sarcastic tone of voice.

Don't forget the stained-glass knight from Young Sherlock Holmes. I believe that was the very first?

It reminded me of Jerry running away from Mrs. Choate with the marble rye…

Same- I've only seen the first 10 minutes of the first episode.

Maybe Arnold had discovered the key to true independence by the hosts and stored it somewhere but didn't have the chance to implement it before Dolores killed him? Something along those lines
