Welcome Back, Kotter: No More Mr. Nice Guy

Yes, Horshack wears belly shirts.
Welcome Back, Kotter: No More Mr. Nice Guy
ABC
October 14, 1975
Sitcom
DVD
B-

This is the first of seven WBK scripts written by George Yanok, who did one episode of The Bob Newhart Show.  It has Woodman and Kotter sort of switching personalities, their characters enough established by this point for that to mean something.  Nothing spectacular here, although the image of Woodman in Revolutionary War costumes, not to mention Travolta and friends "boogying" into class, are certainly memorable.  Note that Julie says Gabe's mother doesn't like her.  (I remember seeing Julie's parents later, but not Gabe's.)

This is the 300th program I've given my default grade, B-.
