Welcome Back, Kotter: Goodbye, Mr. Kripps

Welcome Back, Kotter: Goodbye, Mr. Kripps
ABC
February 16, 1978
Sitcom
DVD
B-

This story by Garry Ferrier and Audrey Tadman has Vinnie feeling guilty when the Shop teacher, Mr. Leonard Kripps (Jack Fletcher, who was Harry McCann on Gidget), drops dead of a heart attack while yelling at him.  My favorite moment was of course when Epstein hands Mr. Kotter a wooden musical note for being late.

Bryan O'Byrne, who was Mr. Doheny on The Bob Newhart Show, is the Desk Sergeant here.  Sally Hightower makes her first of three appearances as Laura Stevens, I'm guessing the blonde girl who speaks up in class and isn't Angie.
