Welcome Back, Kotter: A Winter Coat's Tale

Different episode, same era
Welcome Back, Kotter: A Winter Coat's Tale
ABC
December 16, 1978
Sitcom
DVD
C+

In this Barret & Bloom story, Vinnie buys himself an expensive coat for Christmas, but of course learns the "true meaning" bla bla bla.  Mostly notable for one, Mrs. Kotter filling in as a teacher even though she admits she's not licensed, and two, for Epstein eating spaghetti off Vinnie's tree.

Of the two Hollander brothers who play the "Punks," Adam would die less than six years later, hit by a car while riding a bicycle.  Note that Shortridge's name is finally in the credits.  (They really rushed things with Melonie Haller.)
