Did you watch 'Different Strokes' when you were growing up?

Do you remember Arnold's bully, the Gooch?
What did he look like?
I have no idea why I need to know this.

Seta is correct according to the Diff'rent Strokes resource page:

The Fight (January 5, 1979)
Poor Arnold gets a black eye when he tries to go up against The Gooch at the insistence of Willis. Fans of 'Diff'rent Strokes' will recall The Gooch as the bully who Arnold mentions many times throughout the series (Carmella finally beats him up) but he is never actually seen.
