Welcome Back, Kotter: Kotter for Vice PrincipalABC

Steve Clements and Joyce Gittlin, co-who wrote the very good Sadie Hawkins episode, should've done a few more drafts on this episode about Gabe considering accepting an offer to be Woodman's replacement. (And if I recall correctly, this is exactly what happens in the fourth season, although in that case Lazarus retires and Woodman replaces him first.) The dream sequence isn't particularly funny and even by dream logic it makes no sense to set it in 2050, and have the 73-year-old twins look like they're in their 20s.
Ernest Harada, who as Mr. Jan from the school board is probably the best thing about the episode, would return a couple times. Helaine Lembeck is listed in the credits, but she's not on my edited copy.
