So touching. I watched this tv show as a kid when it was at it's peak...so much time has passed. People have passed. Sometimes I long for the old days. They were good days.
Facts Verse needs to edit this upload asap and correct the name Justine Bateman to Ron Palilo. I consider it very disrespectful to have the wrong name listed for him...Especially a woman's name! 😂
I was fortunate enough to see Ron Palillo perform in a play at a local theater. During the show I told my two daughters about Palillo's character on "Welcome Back Kotter" - of course I had to include an impersonation "Ooo, ooo Mr Kotter". After the show the cast was collecting money for a charity and Ron happened to be at the exit my kids and I used. To my great embarrassment both of my daughters greeted him by saying "Ooo, Ooo Mr Kotter". He burst into laugher, gave them lessons on how to properly say it. He and I discussed the TV show for a few minutes, he expressed great fondness and for all the cast and writers. Seemed such a kind and pleasant person. So sad that he, and many other cast members died young.
Yeah, it's weird? Both him and Robert Hegyes who played Epstein died the same year. It's also hard to see Gabe Kaplan is 76 years old now? John Travolta lost all his thick hair.
I did cry, Life was so wonderful for many of us kids in 1975, I was only 13 and had the whole world ahead of me. Almost 60 now and i look around and wonder what happened, Life went SO FAST!!!
One of the best sitcoms of the 70s. Watched it all the time. Lots of good humor and wit. Marsha Strassman was looker. So sad some of the cast died so young. Would have been great to see a reunion of the original cast.
Luckily there was in 2009 on TV Land. All of the original cast members except Ron who played Horshack wasn't able to make it. It is available here on TH-cam.
I worked on an ultra low budget film back in 1988. Robert Hegye, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs and Ron Palillo had parts. They were so fun and professional to work with, especially Hegye and Hilton-Jacobs. Those two were charismatic.
I watched it at the time because of "Travolta" as I am Italian. But, when it got TOO JEWY and I dropped it. After the first season, It sucked. Too Jewy. Yuck.
I was just about to say the same thing. I used to love this show. I was in my early 20's and would always take time to watch it . Out of all of them Travolta stands alone as a superstar. And he still looks good. Travolta movies are always good. He is one of my favorite actors.

Thanks for the memories, a great video. Robert Hegyes was from my neck of the woods, he started out in a little theater in Piscataway NJ and was a resident of Metuchen NJ when he passed away.
It's very sad to know that most of the cast past away heart attacks and cancer and very young they didn't reached the 70s.I really felt so sad I even cry😢
John Travolta was the only one who really hit it bigger after the TV Show with Records, his movies " _Saturday Night Fever, GREASE, Urban Cowboy,_ these are right after " _Welcome back Kotter_ "
Disco SKF, did it for him and then grease, Urban Cowboy and then his star dimmed for years later until Pulp Fiction and then he was not such a big star anymore. He was up and down the stardom scale IMO . The Fonz was a character that was cool, but Henry Winkler didn't have the star power to make it big though.

They where all good, loved Horshack, all of them, so many laughs. I can't believe how young they where when they died, and what sad never heard of there passing, nothing!😢🙏
Robert Heyges and Ron Pallilo died within a few months of each other the same year. Incidentally, Debralee Scott ("Hotsie Totsie") passed away shortly having lost her fiance during 9/11. She was still pretty young.
Ever just think about how magically diverse, unforced, thoughtful and terrific that time was? We had Welcome Back Kotter, Good Times, The Jefferson's, Sanford and Son, Chico and the Man, Maude, All in the Family, Facts of Life and so much more. We grew-up with diversity of thoughts, views, understanding and it was welcomed, embraced and happy. Now people my age (53) are told daily on social media and the news that were racist, bigoted, harmful, privileged and unaware. You gotta just shake your head at how much we've forgotten how much more inclusive we used to be.
Thank for not picking the worst pictures possible. There are some channels try to make the difference more dramatic as they can or more extreme. This more real.
Yes, James Komack didput out some of the best sitcoms back inthe 1970's including "Welcome Back Kotter" and "Chico And The Man". They included some of the best comedians where there comedy was all clean. May the ones who passed on from these shows rest in eternal peace.
Thank you everyone for the thumbs up and the fantastic comments. Its nice to know there are still people in this world who still appreciate good taste in comedy.
I was sad that Pat Morita Mr.T and Tina put out by James Komack, and Michael Eisner ( believe it or not didn't make it. Thank God some of the episodes are available on TH-cam.
Watched this all the time. Looking at their ages when they were doing the show, I was generally in their age bracket, 1975 I was 25. Also, I ended up going back into teaching in 1984 and taught in all inner city high schools for 30 years. Sometimes it was actually as funny as the sitcom.
I agree she should've been mentioned. Sounds like her final years were pretty tragic: Scott's fiancé John Dennis Levi, a police officer with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, died in the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center. In 2005, Scott moved to Florida to live with her sister. Shortly after her arrival, Scott collapsed into a coma. She soon recovered and was released from the hospital on her birthday. On April 5, 2005, three days after her 52nd birthday and being released from the hospital, she took a nap and apparently died in her sleep. Scott's body was cremated.[4] Her fiancé's mother stated that Scott had a drinking problem that led to her developing cirrhosis, which led to her death. Her sister Jerri said, "She never did get over Dennis' death."
The other female sweathog was Vernee Watson. She often played Freddie's girlfriend, Vernajean, in the show. She's been on several episodes of Big Bang Theory and is currently on General Hospital and Bob Hearts Abishola.
Hi Diana, how are you doing. I'm Jones from Virginia. I hope you are doing well and safe? I want a new friend and I saw your pic here. Hope you don't mind my friendship.
Oh how sad. I wasn't aware of all the deaths in this day and age when people are living so much longer. I loved this show for the first couple of years.
You messed up my favorite Ron Palillo, Arnold Horshack!! That is NOT Justine Bateman, she played on Family Ties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to fix that one if you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a good video, but you missed A LOT of people that was on the show that you should have had on the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stephen Shortridge- Beau Delabarre (who took over after John Travolta went off of the show), Helaine Lembeck- Judy Borden, Vernee Watson- Vernajean Willams, Bob Harcum- Murray, Charles Fleischer- Carveli, Irene Arranga- Mary Johnson (Arnold and her got married), Debralee Scott- Rosalie "Hotsy" Totsy, Ellen Travolta- Mrs. Horshack-O'Hare, Melonie Halier- Angie Grabowski, Dennis Bowen- Todd Ludlow, and Suze Lanier- Bambi Forster. You need to do a video #2 and include all of these people and correct Ron Palillo from Justine Bateman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have the WHOLE cast, not just the main cast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this show and watched it all of the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even used to watch the repeats on ME TV, but here in Denver, Colorado they took off ME TV, which made me MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know if they have Welcome Back, Kotter on that channel any more, as we don't get that channel any more, darn it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was on recently on MeTv, or Antenna Tv. Schedules for both shows recently changed, so I don’t know if the show is still on or not, because i didn’t watch it on either of those channels.

Fun fact, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs played the father (Joe Jackson) in the movie "The Jacksons an American Dream".
Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this information. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
John Travolta!!❤👑
One of my favorite shows back then, I was in high school too and I had such a crush on the teacher Mr. Kotter 🤦♀️
The best thing about this old show was the theme.
everybody gets older but that was a fun show back in the day.

I was 9 years old when that show aired ..... Thanks for the memories
You said Horshack is Justine Bateman. Lol
That's quite a makeup job they did on her!
I noticed that too. Lol
no I didn't
Is Justine dead too?
Arnold’s a crackhead?
The brought back memories of my childhood... Good ones to and thanks.
Wow Facts Verse this was pretty good.. Very well put together and the background score surprisingly gave it a very nostalgic touch!!
Glad you liked it, P Piorkowski!
Facts Verse: I agree, thank you. Your efforts are appreciated. Greetings from Wilmington, NC
Uh - minus the Justine Bateman gaffe
Major mistake, Ron Palilo who played Horshack, they named him Justine Bateman at the end of his intro LOL🤣 7:09
Oh how sad. I wasn't aware of all the deaths in this day and age when people are living so much longer. I loved this show for the first couple of years.
The show was good until John Travolta left.
The best TV show I have ever enjoyed 👍👍👍👍
You messed up my favorite Ron Palillo, Arnold Horshack!! That is NOT Justine Bateman, she played on Family Ties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to fix that one if you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a good video, but you missed A LOT of people that was on the show that you should have had on the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stephen Shortridge- Beau Delabarre (who took over after John Travolta went off of the show), Helaine Lembeck- Judy Borden, Vernee Watson- Vernajean Willams, Bob Harcum- Murray, Charles Fleischer- Carveli, Irene Arranga- Mary Johnson (Arnold and her got married), Debralee Scott- Rosalie "Hotsy" Totsy, Ellen Travolta- Mrs. Horshack-O'Hare, Melonie Halier- Angie Grabowski, Dennis Bowen- Todd Ludlow, and Suze Lanier- Bambi Forster. You need to do a video #2 and include all of these people and correct Ron Palillo from Justine Bateman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have the WHOLE cast, not just the main cast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this show and watched it all of the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even used to watch the repeats on ME TV, but here in Denver, Colorado they took off ME TV, which made me MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know if they have Welcome Back, Kotter on that channel any more, as we don't get that channel any more, darn it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Till this day l still watch Welcome Back Kotter. Love that show. Mr Goodman, looks younger than now that before.
Great show! I wish they would show it again.
It was on recently on MeTv, or Antenna Tv. Schedules for both shows recently changed, so I don’t know if the show is still on or not, because i didn’t watch it on either of those channels.
The next best thing is watching it on DVD. I brought the complete series online
I grew up watching Welcome Back Kotter. It will always be one of my favorites
When did Ron Palillo transition and become Justine?
WOW! IT FELT LIKE I WENT BACK TO 1975 WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD AND WATCHING W.B.K. SUCH GREAT MEMORIES OF THE SEVENTIES.
One best shows ever. Hilarious
Who's your favorite from the cast, Peter?
One.of the 70"s shows is the best!! It was the best show ever!!!😍 I loved that show so very much!!🥰❤❤❤❤ Rest in Heavenly Peace to all the ones that passed away!!! ❤❤❤❤ I cry so very much!!!😥😪
Based on the British sitcom Please Sir! (itself based on the film To Sir, With Love).
This is the BESt then and now I’ve ever seen. Such a masterpiece and thoughtful production. Beautifully Done! Bravo!!!
John White was that young, 56? I would've thought he was at least in his late 6o's back then ...wow we age better now.
True
I enjoyed every episode💯💯💯
Well that was depressing other than I am 65 and still alive.
Same here..hmmmm
Yep. 63 here.

@@karenstrycharz1499 Happy Birthday Karen. Hope I make it there. My mom told me I wouldn`t like being 80. She was always right.......
@@barackmycat9448 Hi Barackmycat! Thank-you so much for your birthday wishes! I sooooo appreciate it! Believe me....”I JUST KNOW YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY MAKE IT TO 80 YRS OLD & UNDOUBTEDLY, FAR BEYOND THAT AGE!!! The alternative is not really inspiring!🤣! I want to go to heaven someday but just not ready yet or actually any time real soon, for that matter!😂Medicine & innovations are allowing us to live longer than before & frankly people in our age group no longer look or act their age!

Wishing you everything good & hoping you absolutely make it to 90 plus yrs(😆) Wishing you the very best!💕
