Was this not the spin off attempt episode where Arnold has to grow up and be the father figure of the family? John Travolta's sister plays Arnold's mother

Yes ABC wanted a spinoff attempt with each of the guys and it came down to Horshack and epstein. They chose Arnold and it premiered as a hour special on 2/3/77. Horshack was written back into Kotter the following week and ABC never decided to go ahead with the spinoff which would have aired right after Kotter at 8:30pm. Instead they decided to put What's Happening in that slot the following week, 2/10/77

I remember this. Crap. Anything where things were centered around Arnold was bad. Arnold falling in love, Arnold becoming a drunk. Really bad TV.

I remember Arnold telling someone that Horshack was a very old and respected name that meant "The cattle are dying." It's understandable why there wasn't a Horshack spinoff. He was very funny on Welcome Back, Kotter and if he left, the show would have had a shorter run.
