I was wondering how come abe was not in season 4

It's been awhile since I saw the E! True Hollywood Story of Kotter, but I think that there was a fued between Marcia Strassman and Gabe Kaplan about screentime that was started by Executive Producer James Komack. I am not for sure, but this would end up with Marcia Strassman appearing in more episodes than Kaplan, until they both caught wind in what Komack was doing. There were two episodes that they didn't appear in, what I would call the Kotterless episodes, which featured Della Reese in these two episodes.

I would like to get the True Hollywood Story of Welcome Back Kotter if anyone taped it.

I never heard that! Are you sure that's not just one of those rumors that someone will make up every now and then; about why someone acted some way on a TV show? Like the untrue rumors and stories about why they killed off McLean Stevensons character on MASH.

Like I said, I it's been awhile since I saw that TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY, but I am pretty sure that that was said. All three parties told their sides of the story. I am trying to acquire that episode. Wish E! would rerun it sometime.
