WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
“I said,
ba-ba-ba-ba-Barino…”
Watching
Welcome Home Kotter again now
after a gap of 30 years the
first things that struck me were
how much Gabriel Kaplan looks
like David Crosby and how little
John Travolta has aged. Star
Kaplan co-created this excellent
seventies sitcom which,
like

an American version
of UK hit Please Sir, saw teacher Gabe Kotter returning to the school he
graduated from ten years previously, James Buchanan High, to take up a
position teaching the "sweathogs" - those streetwise students
considered to be on the outer and who couldn't cut it in normal
classes. John Travolta, playing class tough Barbarino, became a
name thanks to his role here but for me the star of the show is the
legendary Arnold Horshak, you can't quite work out whether you want to
strangle him because he is so annoying or laugh yourself silly at his
antics.
