Welcome Back, Kotter: X-Rated Education

Welcome Back, Kotter: X-Rated Education
ABC
October 28, 1978
Sitcom
DVD
B-

Even though this has Carvelli, Murray, and Beau, with no Kotter or Barbarino, this is pretty good.  Yes, it's predictable (you can hear the studio audience reacting to the "twist" a scene or two before it happens), but I do like how Julie and Juan handle the situation and how the emphasis is on their friendship, so that she's not just Mrs. Kotter but has a bond with the Sweathogs besides through her husband.  Plus, Horshack's reactions to the movie are cute.

Jenna McMahon, who wrote one Bob Newhart Show episode and appeared in a different one, here plays Mrs. Zugler.
