Default Two things I wish never happened on the show

1. The series finale wedding is awful. It's nice seeing Kotter again, but still it is awful. Why not have them do something different than a wedding. Or why have Horseshack? It's is simply awful. Even worse it is a two parter. Why not have them go to college or something. A wedding is just stupid. (I always thought something was wrong (if you know what I mean) with Horseshack and that helped me to think he is not all he seems to be-lol

2. The twins, Kotter was great at the school, besides Julie I don't really care about his home life.

BTW Solomon, if you see this I am currently downloading Washington's clone episode for you. As of now it's 80.3% done.

Ok Good maybe we can set up another trade. The guy who is trying to imitate Washington do u recognize him from any other TV shows? Also the two things I wished never happened was

1) Having Julie as a teacher

2)adding another sweathogg

When both Gabe Kaplan and John Travolta left the show, it was all downhill
from there. It wasn't the same show and (in my opinion) they should have just
called it quits right there.

I was soooooo annoyed with Julie...I never could get into that character, she was annoying, boring and when she tried to be funny, it wasn't funny. I didn't care much for the home life of Mr. Kotter. Somehow, it would have been cool to have him either be single or maybe living at home taking care of his older father, a character similar to Abe Vigoda's "Fish".

When Washington gets addicted to those pain pills he was hurt playing basketball so maybe he could have gone professional in it?

Gabe Kaplan suggested they do that, and have Mr. Kotter reluctently become their teacher again; then theyld go on with it that way for at least another 4 seasons; and they would be more beleviable in those roles. But, "the powers that be" didn't listen.

Epstein could have been a ghost writer, since he liked writing all those notes from his mother.

Some of those guys should've been shot for that stuff, I remember on True Hollywod Stories, Beau was saying that Robert Heyges saw on of the scripts and burned it.
