Welcome Back, Kotter: The Sit-In

Welcome Back, Kotter: The Sit-In
ABC
January 13, 1976
Sitcom
DVD
B

This is the only WBK story written by William Bickley and Michael Warren, who'd do one the following year for What's Happening!!  It nonetheless has such Kottery moments as jokes about Julie's tuna casserole, and Epstein playing Chico to Gabe's Groucho.  There's also a nice discussion of everyone's image of God, and a "Bicentennial Moment," which was a big thing in '76.  I'm not sure if it's LaHendro's fault that there's a very obvious hanging mic when the Sweathogs first sit on the floor.  Note that Julie used to organize sit-ins.

Dennis Bowen appears briefly as Todd Ludlow, and Woodman mentions that Todd is Student Body President.
