The Nickelodeon comedy with a serious "attitude problem" has now turned 35! Which means that we need to have a class reunion! Joining us for this retrospective into "Welcome Freshmen" we have Arian Ash (Erin Kelly), Brock Bradly (Grant Kelly), Tracy Frenkel (Coach Roach/Rochelle), Rick Galloway (Walter), Jason McMahan (Glen Craven), Bob Mittenthal (creator), Dave Rhoden (Merv), Mike Rubiner (writer), Jill Setter (Tara), Mike Speller (Mr. Lippman), and Jocelyn Steiner (Alex). Together we hear about how the show began, filming at Nick Studios, being recognized by the public, why they were banned from the fraternizing with the cast of "Fifteen" and more! Join us in the classroom as we take a look at "Welcome Freshmen."
