WELCOME BACK KOTTER is fondly remembered by TV fans who grew up in the 1970s, and this release presents viewers with a much-requested opportunity to revel in Gabe Kotter's (Gabe Kaplan) adventures once again. WELCOME BACK KOTTER begins with Kotter returning to the school where he was once a pupil--James Buchanan High. Kotter is there to teach the remedial class that he once belonged to, but four students--Vinnie Barbarino (John Travolta), Freddie "Boom-Boom" Washington (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs), Juan Epstein (Robert Hegyes), and Arnold Horshack (Ron Palillo)--are a constant thorn in his side. However, Kotter proves to be an inspirational and tolerant teacher, and is soon dispensing a brand of wit and wisdom based on Gabe Kaplan's real-life experiences. This release includes every episode from the first season of the show. [More]

The first season of Welcome Back, Kotter was probably the best, so for nostaligia overload, revisiting this iconic 1970s sitcom goes down surprisingly easy.

The scripts were just good enough.

3/4

Likely to resonate best with nostalgically-inclined folks who still remember the memorable catchphrases of Vinnie ('Up your nose with a rubber hose!'), Boom-Boom ('Hey, Mr. Kot-tair!') and the annoyingly nasal Horshack ('Oooooooh! Ooooooh! Oooooooooh!')

3/4

Best remembered for launching the careers of John Travolta and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, this sitcom revolved around juvenile delinquents cutting-up while their flabbergasted teacher attempted to impart his pearls of wisdom.
