Travel back to a time when sitcoms were recorded live on tape before a studio audience and dialogue was dominated by nonsensical catch phrases, like "Up your nose with a rubber hose!" and "Off my case, potato face!" The year was 1975. Saturday Night Fever had yet to make John Travolta a star, and stand-up comedian-turned-creator Gabe Kaplan had yet to become a late-night poker mainstay. Welcome to four years at Brooklyn's Buchanan High School.
Along with What's Happening, Welcome Back, Kotter was what the cool kids were watching--just as their kids would turn to Freaks and Geeks in the years to come. Unlike the teens of Happy Days, Buchanan's remedial students aren't polite preppies, but slang-slinging hooligans. Gabe Kotter (Kaplan) serves as home-room teacher to a "pack of howling baboons" led by Vinnie Barbarino (Travolta), Arnold Horshack (Ron Palillo), Freddie "Boom-Boom" Washington (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs), and self-described Puerto Rican Jew Juan Epstein (Robert Hegyes) Their adversary: Vice Principal Woodman (John Sylvester White), who lives to put a kibosh on their high jinks--just as he did when Kotter was a Sweathog in the 1960s.
Other regulars include Kotter's wife, Julie (Marcia Strassman, who hosts the featurette "Only a Few Degrees from a Sweathog"), and Rosalie "Hotzy" Totzy (Mary Hartman's Debra Lee Scott). At the time, Welcome Back, Kotter was more than just a show. It was a cultural phenomenon, spawning lunch boxes, schoolyard taunts, and the like. In retrospect, the jokes are cornier than ever, but the anything-goes spirit--crazy costumes and musical numbers--is hard to resist. At least that's true of the first three seasons. By the fourth, Travolta and Kaplan became scarce, and Kotter ran out of steam. Rest assured, though, that John Sebastian's clap-happy, chart-topping theme remains as catchy as ever. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This will take you back to the days when Welcome Back Kotter was a weekly favorite on the T.V. Looking back you can enjoy the great writing that made this show so popular. Here's to a young and sexy John Travolta!

This DVD set arrived quickly and was exactly what it stated it was, the whole first season of Welcome Back Kotter. My family and I are loving every episode. Great experience!

I'll keep it short and simple. I LOVE this show. It seems they always do something like this when releasing old shows. They release a season or two and then they just stop. Why don't they release the entire series as a box set. Wouldn't that be easier, and satisfy all of us who want the entire series. Quite annoying... and from the looks of it, it looks as though we will never see Season 2. Argh... argh indeed!

Hullo. Howahya?
Brilliant work from the entire cast. Wondering what deals with devil Bobby (genius) Hegyes, Larry Jacobs and Marcia (I feel so horrible lusting after her, but I can't help it. She's still GORGEOUS) Strassman struck as I watched the retrospective feature AND THEY STILL LOOK THE SAME NOW AS THEY DID WHEN I WAS A TODDLER!
If you don't remember a time when Travolta was skinny and not buying into L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology rubbish, or when Gabe Kaplan wasn't ... Read More
