Welcome Back, Kotter: Horshack and Madame XABC
February 23, 1978
Sitcom
DVD
B-
This Barrie & Meyerson episode doesn't quite live up to its farcical potential, I think partly because I can't buy that Arnold, who looks up to Mr. Kotter, would want Mrs. Kotter to toss him aside, no matter how much Arnold thinks he's in love with her. Still, it is nice to see Strassman have more to work with than usual. And, yes, she was only a year older than Palillo in real life. Note, Angie's reaction to the idea of dating Arnold seems especially cruel considering he was the first to befriend her.
Sally Hightower returns as Laura Stevens. Al Schwartz, yes, Sherwood's brother, does one of his rare directing gigs.
