Default Remember the Bicycle Man?

The Creepy Bicycle Man episode along with the one where Sam got kidnapped made this list of Very Special "Very Special" episodes. (I'd forgotten about that "Monroe gets attacked by two women" ep of Too Close for Comfort....)

Gordon Jump's character was the sitcom version of Jerry Sandusky:
A “very special” Diff’rent Strokes that’s terrifying for all the wrong reasons

Diff'rent Strokes had another memorable two-parter in which Kimberly and Arnold go out shopping for Drummond's birthday and decide to hitchhike back home not knowing that the nice fellow that picks them up is a bit of a wacko who comes on strong to Kimberly.

Another episode is when Arnold and Sam discover their friend who is a street performer suffers from seizures.

This 2-parter was just aired over the weekend and I hadn't seen it in a long time that I totally can see how Gordon Jump's character comes off as a creepy lonely guy masked by a gentle kind face by giving gifts to Arnold and free treats to Arnold and Dudley.

I had forgotten how hysterical seeing Arnold and Dudley freaking out at the nudie mag and cartoons, also noticed that one of the comic books Dudley picks up is clearly a Superman comic but with stickers covering up the front cover I guess the show's producers didn't need to pay for licensing.

Shavar Ross had suffered a real-life drama of that by a friend of his family.

it happened about the same time that he and Gary were taping the 2-part episode.

He was assaulted while he was sleeping.

Gay has nothing to do with it. The bicycle man was a pedophile.

Those are the ones that can't distinguish acting from real-life.

You're right!

He was a stone-cold pedophile / child molester.
