Welcome Back, Kotter top 10 moments and trademark elements

[@mickjimi]

So seriously nice to see these characters again! The theme song has never left my memory.

[@chrystal0411]

Same here. I love that song.

[@rdanalytics9197]

That theme song captured the ethos of the 70's. Every time I hear it I'm being sent back in time.😅

[@lexdee523]

I see I'm not the only one. Whenever I hear the theme song, my mind instantly thinks of the show, and I find myself singing the song as well. I ordered the entire series DVD boxset.

[@NurseChapel_NCC1701]

Freddie “Boom Boom” Washington. That was hilarious!

[@jamescoronado9071]

[@Anabee3]

​​@@8875anthony But the theme song for Welcome Back Kotter was written specifically for that show. The theme song from The Golden Girls was just a song from the radio they adapted. Welcome Back Kotter wins!

[@JohnCrumpler-u3l]

When I was a kid I had a Welcome Back Kotter lunch box.I would come home every day and watch the show.

[@whatintheworldisthat]

The theme song was awesome!

[@aboutanything3456]

yes it was!

[@Nan-59]

Something about that song makes me feel like crying, every time I hear it 😢 I guess because it reminds me of that time. Being in high school and all those things I miss. Like my parents for instance and my sisters.

[@candacetalley9261]

Welcome back kotter is the best 😂😂

[@whatintheworldisthat]

A kid in my junior high class based his whole personality on Boom Boom Washington. I can still hear him saying "hi there." It was 1979, I think.

[@aboutanything3456]

thats funny. i think we all went to school with an "Arnold" and the "ooooohhhh" on the hand raise. lol

[@whatintheworldisthat]

@@aboutanything3456 haha! Yes, we had one of those, too. Lol. This brought back a lot of good memories for me from a good time in my life. Thanks for your work.

[@robertjones8771]

🙏🏾🤔WOW✌🏽

[@danrobinson572]

@@aboutanything3456got a question? What episode was it when Mr Kotter talks about Washington family. And Freddie says to Kotter. Don’t talk about the dozens

[@chrystal0411]

Everything John Travolta touched during that time, turned to gold. Carrie, The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, Saturday Night Fever (which I actually couldn't see because I was way too young at the time), Grease, and a little later, Blow Out. And, to think, it mainly started with this sitcom.

[@mlsaulnier]

This was a fun video to watch.

[@lexdee523]

The Barbarino song and dance and the "Hi there" from Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington, was always my favorites. I love when you ask Freddie what's the 'Boom Boom' for? Then he breaks out with his impersonation of a musical instrument. I love it.😂😂😂

[@hojni]

Am looking for Vinnie doing, "What?, Who? Where? When?" That was definitely one of his trademarks as much as Arnold's hand raising and laugh.

[@cyyoung7840]

Can't forget Epsteins fake notes signed Epsteins Mother and Washington's catch phase HI There 😊 ☺️ Welcome back Kotter was one of the best shows ever. Never be another show like it

[@silverlaptop2022]

I remember that, we got in trouble at school for mimicking it😂

[@melmc9672]

​@@silverlaptop2022yes!! We'd go to school the next day mimicking all the cool lines from the show

Beau sure could spread it on THICK! To an extent, he reminded me of a male Blanche Devereux.😂😂

[@discostu004]

Barbarino song surely launched Travolta's career with Grease, and then Saturday Night Fever.

Theme song is killer. Love the channel btw.

[@bryanslepicka3541]

Once upon a time when I was a kid, Welcome Back Kotter was on at 2:30 on WGN and the Cubs game started at 1:20. When the Mets were in town it started raining cats and dogs. They called a rain delay and Roger McDowell was sliding around on the tarp. I always thought that God made it rain because he didn't want us to fight each other, so we can play. Kotter came on during the rain delay, and we all lived happily ever after.

[@suzettegilliland-oh7hz]

I love watching Watching welcomed Back Carter ❤.

[@lexdee523]

You mean 'Kotter'....not 'Carter'

[@silverlaptop2022]

I was so young, and only seen a few of these in reruns. The sleep over in the school, Vinny: "Now I lay me down to sleep, Arnold Horshack at my feet" 😂

[@chrisfinamore6364]

Great show!

[@juliemcarthur3004]

[@falanajerido875]

Beautiful love them

[@bookwoman53]

I felt bad for Marcia Strassman. The writers didn’t give her character enough to do. I know that the Sweathogs were central to the story and audience favorites. The writers probably just wanted Kotter to be a married man.

[@jeannehall6546]

Watching all these scenes again I was laughing so hard! The Number One show for us kids (and a number of teachers) in the junior high school I attended!😅😂🤣

[@MaxineShaw-ck7uu]

Welcome Back Kotter is one of the strangest shows to ever appear on television horrible acting strange characters it's like they were just winging it however something about it is endearing I still watch it today and have no idea why.

[@pearsehealy8735]

Love the journey. Keep it up.

[@Fred-gi4uz]

Takes me back to when I was a kid growing up in NYC

[@5x7m]

The theme song should be #1. One of the best theme songs from that era. Kotter's opening jokes should be #2.

I couldn't stand school setting tv shows.. head of the class, saved by the bell, welcome back cotter.

[@aboutanything3456]

The biggest issue with school shows, especially high school shows, it kind of sets a finite timeline for your characters. so like Saved by the bell, the "cast" has to graduate at some point, which basically becomes the jump-the-shark moment for the show.

[@0to100_real_quick]

Was this supposed to be high school? Why do they all look like they are in their 40s?

[@aboutanything3456]

Yeah. High schoolers but you will find many “high schoolers” in movies and tv are not. Cast of Grease was even older than these guys.

[@0to100_real_quick]

thats 70s show were young people I think, and a lot of disney stuff was... not sure about freaks and geeks... yea youre right though, mostly seems like adults playing teens@@aboutanything3456

[@bookwoman53]

Studios tend to hire people over 18 to avoid having to set aside 3 hours everyday for kids to be tutored in a classroom setting. They also don’t have to deal with the actors’ parents.

[@sebastien18]

The guy playing Beau De La Barre was 27-28 coz they wanted a man southern women would find hot, they didn't want to cast a real teenager.

[@chrystal0411]

​@@aboutanything3456You're right about that! Look at Stockard Channing, who was well into her thirties when Grease was released. But, I didn't care about that. I just mainly wanted to see John Travolta and Olivia Newton John and listen to that good music. In the end, I liked the whole main cast.
