Welcome Back, Kotter: Has Anyone Seen Arnold?

Welcome Back, Kotter: Has Anyone Seen Arnold?
ABC
February 3, 1977
Sitcom
DVD
C+

Nick Arnold and Peter Meyerson wrote this first of a two-parter, where Horshack plays Cyrano against Judy's Roxanne, until his friends make fun of him and he runs off.  They look for him but Vinnie ends up having to take the role, which he makes a shambles of.  This is another episode where the pay-off doesn't quite work.  And I understand that this was a cliffhanger for an episode that aired right after (in place of What's Happening!!) but it feels odd that Arnold's disappearance isn't even mentioned at the end.

Kristine Greco makes her last appearance on the show.
