Default Head of the Class OR Welcome Back, Kotter?

HOTC was the exact opposite of WBK, making them the flip side, they both had their own pros and cons. WBK featured underachieving students, and HOTC displayed overachieving students. Both sitcoms were set in the east coast, and they were set in not your ordinary high-school classroom atmosphere. They both ran on ABC, and they both were set nearly ten years apart from each other, and ran for five seasons. Which sitcom did you think had a better storyline or better characters? Either Head of the Class or Welcome Back, Kotter.

Kotter, by a MILE. I like HOTC but Kotter is classic 70's. I Love the class, the chemistry, Gabe Kaplan was such a cheeseball. The entire show just oozes nostalgia and I live for the weekends when The Kitschen airs episodes I dont have yet

The blue sky, the desert earth, stretching out into the eerie infinity. A beautiful never-ending nothing.
