Where Were The Sweathogs' parents?

I strongly agree! Horshack was my favorite character on Welcome Back, Kotter and he was very funny, even his laugh. Taking him off Kotter would have been a major shark jump and the show would have been canceled after two or three seasons.

I didn’t see the whole episode but I saw the part I needed. Basically Kotter and Freddy challenge each other to a basketball game. Afterwards Kotter is all sore and groaning and Freddy says his father makes those noises. They then compare the way Kotter and Freddy’s father each walk.

And then we never would have gotten all those fabulous season four episodes.

Nah. Antenna started at the beginning today at 4pm, and I saw the end of the 4:30 ep. So season 1 episode 2. Here’s the plot…..

Basket Case
Welcome Back, Kotter: Season 1, Episode 2

Gabe has a problem when Washington makes the varsity basketball team and decides not to take his exams.

There was a band called Epstein’s Mother. They never had major success and are no longer active, but did exist at one point.

Signed,

Epstein's Mother

The note writing was funny!

I think of all of them, Epstein's family would have been the most interesting to guest star or even have a spin off show of !

[Chocolate Moose]

Epstein's mother didn't really write the notes, though

There are a few that aren't bad. The season opener is pretty good -- one rare episode where Kaplan and Travolta are in the same episode together.
