Welcome Back, Kotter: Inherit the Halibut

Welcome Back, Kotter: Inherit the Halibut
ABC
September 30, 1976
Sitcom
DVD
B-

This is the first of three WBK stories written by Neil Rosen and George Tricker, and the second of two directed by Bill Hobin (who'd do a bunch of Three's Company).  It includes a trial, a couple Nixon jokes, and a nice, understated performance by Hilton-Jacobs.  I don't feel it quite achieves beyond "pretty good," although I can't pinpoint what's missing.

Kristine Greco makes her second uncredited appearance as a female Sweathog, while Scott Ben-Yashar, in at least his third, is probably the jury foreman.
