I can't wait!! I have season 1 and the sampler DVD. If you order from Shout Factory it will be about 20 cheaper and you'll get the dvd a month ahead...which would be July 26.:D

GOOD NEWS!!!!

Yes.

Very good news!

Anyone know how much this is going to cost? Just wondering. :)

Shout!'s website has it for $99.99 but I suspect Amazon or Deep Discount will be cheaper.

Amazon has it for $116.00 right now. I wonder if the price will go down. The I Love Lucy Blu Ray hasn't gone down in price and still registering at $75. Not sure about Deep Discount. I stop with DD because they messed up an order of mine and their delivery is too slow.

Should be over $100 since it's the entire series

I suspect Amazon will lower the price to at least $79.99 like the current complete series of The Bob Newhart Show, which is also being released by Shout! Factory.

I went with ShoutFactory this time. I know Amazon decreases, but when Bob Newhart started it was $99 or cheaper, so I decided since amazon started Kotter at $117, it wouldn't go as low as $80. Either way this is great news, plus WKRP coming out. Now if they could only release the complete series of Benson I'd be a happy man! I know cheapo Mill Creek has the rights to the first 2 seasons but would love it if ShoutFactory took this on. I'm thinking the alternate 3 endings might have to be a must!

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. The Blu rays for Lucy, Andy Griffith and The Honeymooners have not gone down on Amazon. I found the first two for 59 dollars on Target online.

even if it's 200 I am still getting it:lol: :lol: :lol:

I could relate to this show back in the day, I attended high school during the same years WBK originally aired. The 4th season isn't very good, too many changes to the show, Travolta and Kaplan were basically gone, Mrs. Kotter became an employee at the high school, Beau the new sweathog, Arnold Horshack got married, the 4th season was just weird. But it's good the complete series DVD is being released, I'll probably order this when it comes out.

well i can't wait to see that weird 4th season in August

I was in Junior High when the show first came out, back when tv was good.

I was in pre-pre-pre-pre-pre school. Actually, the show made its debut 7 years before I was born. :lol:

Be prepared to see some changes.

Early in the 3rd season, Mrs. Kotter gave birth to twins. In the 4th season, I don't remember if the twins were still cast in the show. If Mr. & Mrs. Kotter were both employed at the high school in season 4, who was watching the twins for them while they were working? Did they have a babysitter? Were the twins still cast in the show at this point? This I don't remember anymore. One thing I know for sure, as I said before, the 4th season is just weird. :lol:

YAY!!!! That is so awesome to finally see "Welcome Back, Kotter" get released in its entirety on DVD!!!!!!!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Season 1 on DVD and I will be excited to finally see the rest of the series.:) :cool:

Two weekends will be reserved for watching this DVD in August

Sat-season 1
Sun-season 2

Sat-season 3
Sun-season 4

I'm glad to see that Shout Factory is stepping up and giving us sets like this and the complete WKRP series set.

Great news!

Got this set in mid-July due to ordering it from ShoutFactory!

Been watching this set for the past couple of weeks...

Most of the first 3 Seasons run around 25:01-10 ---- So Far I've only encountered 7 episodes that may have been "EDITED" (Meaning less that 25 Minutes) - whereas a few Season 4 episodes run over 25:10 for some reason - the longest being 25:41.

"The Longest Weekend" (24:26) - Season 1
"The Fight" (24:22) - Season 2
"Kotter and Son" (24:14) - Season 2
"Whatever Happened To Arnold - Part 1 (25:01)*
"Sweathog Back To School Special" (24:25) - Season 3
"Buddy Can You Spare A Million?" (24:56) - Season 3
"Meet Your New Teacher: Batteries Not Included (24:22) - Season 3
"The Barbarino Blues" (24:10) - Season 4

* For some reason, "There Goes Number 5" is labeled on the DVD as "Whatever Happened to Arnold, Part 2" and the scene in the schoolyard with the Sweathogs and Gabe opens the episode....not sure if that's how the "opening" of the episode goes but that's what's on there.

Also of note - Disc 2 of Season 3 has a message "The following episodes are the only known versions that exist at the time of production. We apologize for any video or audio anomalies" This message appears only to be on this particular disc. I've only noticed one or two picture glitches that really aren't bothersome in the episodes "What a Move" or "A Novel Idea" and the theme song instrumental leading in to the 2nd post opening credits are muffled in a few episodes.

I was slightly disappointed in the "Extras" in the set. There's a little documentary of the show but I have a feeling it was on the previous Season 1 DVD before and screen tests of the Sweathogs and Julie.

The booklet that comes with it is pretty cool - it has the episode listings/synopsis'/airdate. It would've been nice to see an essay about the show or a dedication to Robert, Ron, JSW, and James Komak.

Overall I give the set an B+, mainly because of the lack of extras and the booklet could've been better - but at least we have the complete series now so that's a plus.

I don't think I will rush to buy it now

I am going to get this! And, guys, you should seriously stop saying every single DVD is edited. If it was edited, the company adds a disclaimer. If it doesn't have one, it's not edited.

Yes

^ Yeah sure :rolleyes: And you have the original prints to every other show, right? So then you can gripe and complain as you like?
