I miss watching Welcome Back, Kotter in the 70's with my father. My favorite was & is Juan Epstein. Robert went to the college where my father taught & I always dreamed of meeting & marrying Robert. I don't know if my father taught him. Rest in peace, dad, & Robert. I'm watching this episode, now, on METV & it is listed as : "Epstein's Term Paper" season 3 episode 19. Rest in peace, Ron, aka little Arnold Horshack. I remember mimicking Vinnie, by saying, "Up yer nose with a rubber hose," & am surprised to see in the ads, that John is saying, ..."garden hose." I never knew any guys that wore turtleneck shirts when I was growing up. Maybe that was only the fashion on the New York side. I'm New Jersey, born & raised. Oooooooo Oooooooo Oooooooo! Hiiiii there! Baaa Baaa Baaa, Barbarino Signed, Epstein's Mother

[@yseniaterrazas7799]

Houseshack was 30 when the seasons ended for welcome back kotter

[@fahdchoudry7763]

There are plenty of students in their 20s in high school unfortunately. In 7th grade their was a Mexican kid in my class with a moustache who used to put his feet up on the desk

[@yseniaterrazas7799]

[@vadr6383]

Have u seen Grease?

[@elmospasco5558]

Well, in Vinnie's defense, it is kind of hard to make fries without potatoes he he. I am a little disappointed though because I was really wanting to hear his "I'm so confused" line.

[@ItIsJustJudy]

My mom loved this scene. 😆 She thought John Travolta was so cute. Ha. Little did she know what a weirdo he would end up being.

what does that have to do with anything lol Although the did show a picture of him the other day - RIP KP beautiful woman so sad, and really what better beard to have - and he had s salt n pepper beard, blondish hair, a purple suit and I think some kind of eyeliner and I was like... don't try and tell me otherwise lol :P I love this show and john as everyone was great in it. The sequel show would have been fantastic - their producer was a psycho a hole and it ruined everything (this show too) for us. Btw Horshack was actually gay, fyi. Love them ALL, they were incredible together. Sad so many are RIP. My fav eps are always when Roger Rabbit and Murray show it - when Roger Rabitt and Murray show up.

it might have been season 3. episode called Epstein's Term Paper. I think he buys several term papers from Carvelli and they all turn out to be term papers that were used before. one of them was even written by Kotter himself.

What was on third Braves who's on second I'm going to write about what'. I've actually just stood in class and get out of a bunch of stuff off while looking at a blank piece of paper and actually got an A even after my teacher looked at my paper and realized it was blank. They literally won't fail you sometimes if you don't do anything in 8th grade for some reason they will all give you grades I mean you don't even have to do any math you don't have to write anything and somehow they will pass you. You can pass a 7th grade in just one month by playing a game called the Oregon Trail I could have passed all of Junior High in 3 months literally and then went to college. I literally could have went to college by the time I was in 3rd grade literally. I literally went to college considered college with no high school diploma that's why they had to pay me to go to college I don't think people know what they're doing in the United States. I mean like when you go to college and they find out later that you got your college loan and never paid it and they charge you a bunch of interest and then you let them know that you never actually went through 9th grade and don't have a diploma they will give you all your college money back plus the interest that you never paid in one great big fat check to see if I can go shopping plus the original loan money that you first got in the first place so the government gives you three times loan money for some reason. Even if you show up for 3 weeks is considered going you don't have to really go the whole time lady I just took 2 weeks to church Driving School. At 18 I went to Waldorf Training Center East 8 Mile it was considered a two-year College course shoved into 6 months as college credits. So I actually got the first loan and my cash to buy the car since this cute girl named Vicky from school wrecked my beautiful Mustang I need to know if I went to college they gave me the government student loan I never paid it it almost doubled in interest and then I became a teamster truck driver and that college loan I got a 18 rack up all the interest until I was in my thirties. So I filed those failures to benefit papers that the government allows you to get all your college money back plus the loan and the interest that you never paid at all and one big fat chick just give it to your wife so she can go shopping with money in it and let her spend the $10,000 on it she got another 10,000 a weekend. Plus the original government student no money so it was like it was like 17 to $20,000 I got paid to go to college for 3 weeks because I didn't have a high school diploma when I was a teamster truck driver. I should have went to the University of Michigan and applied to be a doctor it took my mom with me if she could pass that college initiation test with the math and stuff on it her name is different than mine she was remarried she was never going to go to that college course anyway but she took the test right next to me thanks for helping Mom
