Welcome Back, Kotter: A Novel IdeaABC
October 27, 1977
Sitcom
DVD
B-
This Bloom & Bloomberg story could've been a B with better writing-- I can't believe they missed an obvious chance for a "Boy in the Plastic Bubble" joke with Vinnie!-- and I would've gone with a C+, but Hegyes does a great job as a Southern belle. Woodman writes a Civil-War-set story based on people he knows, so the Sweathogs retaliate with a sci-fi story where Woodman is the villain. Poor Julie is caught in the middle. (Gabe is away because of his father's surgery, although he is there for the opening and closing scenes, probably shot earlier.) Note that there's a Billy Carter reference. Director Nick Havinga would go on to ALF, including the Gilligan episode.
