Welcome Back, Kotter: A Sweathog Christmas Special

Welcome Back, Kotter: A Sweathog Christmas Special
ABC
December 15, 1977
Sitcom
DVD
C

The main thing this clip show establishes is that the writing was often better in the first season, as in the "sit-in" episode and the one where Epstein was ashamed of losing a fight to Todd.

I'm tagging Watson and Scott but not Lembeck because she's not in my edited copy.  Charles Fleischer is in two clips as Carvelli, with his sidekick Bob Harcum as Murray in one.  There's no sign of the twins, although Gabe again tells a joke to Santa.  Mel Stuart (of Willy Wonka) co-wrote (with Eric Cohen), produced, and directed the new segments of this episode.
