I hope they do a reunion special quick before something happens.I just read that one of the Commodores died and that is horrible.

hopefully Lawrence Hilton Jacobs (Washington) won't get in trouble with the law again while they are making it.

I have noticed he has been rather lowkeyed in the last few years.

I never knew that a Network would do a Reunion Show for a Sitcom that was cancelled after 4 seasons. Maybe it's just me. Now the One day at a Time Reunion made sense because that show lasted almost 10 seasons and was successful during much of it's run

Saw on youtube where they interviewed LHJ and he said the holdup has been him and Travolta.

I guess the closest thing we'll have to a Kotter reunion for the time being is the retrospective featurette on the WBK season 1 dvd.

It would be nice to see all the sweathogs and Kotter get together and talk about the show, but I don't think that's going to happen. :( I don't know why Travolta seems to be so ashamed about the show. I've never even heard him talk about it since he made it big in the movies. It's too bad cause if it weren't for Kotter, he probably wouldn't have had a very successful movie career.

Does Travolta really have a problem with the show?

Case in point he appeared on stage with Kotter and the original Sweathogs a few years ago for ABC's anniversary special. He also played the Babarino character in a SNL skit several years ago with Lenny & Squiggy of all people!!

He has lots of movie projects, maybe it is a scheduling conflict. I've been in contact with Bobby Heyges and I believe he said that he and John serve as godfathers to their children.

The only reunion we may have had was the Mr. Rhodes flashback episode with LHJ, Ron and Bobby.

I'd like to see a reunion with the cast like Kotter's retirement because I doubt the Sweathogs graduated for a class reunion. Wouldn't it be sort of funny to see the Sweathogs still in class and never left??

Even bring back Stephen Shortridge as Beau and if anything have Travolta do a brief walk on cameo if possible. This could all be done I think with a decent script.

It looks like he has a problem with the show since he didn't do a Interview like the others on the season 1 DVD

I'll bet if Travolta's movie career was in the dumper, he'd be eager to participate in a reunion.

They were able to get LHJ, Ron, Bobby, Marcia, Gabe, Stephen for this DVD?

I think JT simply isnt making the time for it, but I dont think he has a problem with the show, if not for that show he wouldnt have had the career he has.

Think about this also, he is constantly working on new films and promoting them, does he really have the time to do this?

The other guys, well I guess they have the time to do it and make the time to do it as well.

It would be nice, but the vibe that I'm getting from the interview was that only if the set-up was right, would it happen.

Maybe it will resurface somewhere in the future. I hope it does. I would to see Vernajean come back. (Vernee Watson)
