My grandpa was actually Peter Meyerson, one of the lead writers on this show. I’ve been trying to watch more episodes lately. Love and miss you grandpa 💕
This was such a funny show! John Travolta was an absolute riot in every episode that he was in! It's amazing to see how far along he has come in his career since this show! ✌️😎😂
I don't know, man? I knew a lot of guys who had that exact rock 'n roll stoner/muscle car dude hair in the 70's. My brother, may he rest in peace, was one of them. It was a thing. I agree, it is pretty spectacular hair. My brother Mike was Vinnie before there was a Vinnie Barbarino.
John was a duplicate copy of Jim Morrison lead singer for the "doors" I heard that he was asked to play the role of Jim Morrison for the movie "the doors"
@@TJamesBell I was not on the show. My Kotter puppet parodies are on my TH-cam channel. I don't know Lee Zimmerman, but I see he does cool marionette stuff.
Never heard of this show before, I don't think it was aired here in the Netherlands. Would be neat if it would be streamed somewhere! Love the clips on TH-cam!
If I had an adaptor for hdmi to coax and an old TV I'd stream this type of SD VHS OG quality video to it, I'd do it. Wish whole shows were posted by people who have it laying around on old VHS. I want to see commercials included though. Can't find anywhere. #retro #retrotv #sd #memories
@@TJamesBell I like the worn VHS look. No fake filter. Actual wear. TV from antenna type shit better. Lpl. No body has though. Or I cant find. Just commercials, but no context. I think thers a Garfield christmas w commercials.but would like to see the "Disney afternoon" or something from my days w commercials. #disney #disneyafternoon
Travolta really mastered the mixing of Mick Jagger, Danny Zuko and Marlon Brando for his character. Horshack is really annoying when i watch it now but back in the day he was our favorite character of the show!
Good eye. Garafalo was a cast member during the 1994/1995 season, but left SNL mid-year after complaining about the show in the press. That was some sketch I recorded back in '94-95 season. Can't remember the premise? Farley was always good in everything. Garafalo described her SNL experience as “the most miserable experience of my life.”
0:14 Hello! A Horshack fangirl here! 💖 I’m only here for Ron Palillo! 😊💖 (I would of DIED to be in that girl’s place just to be with him! 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💕💕😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ But seriously, she didn’t even seem that interested in him, like at all. She looks so dead, like she doesn’t smile or anything. HOW could she keep such a straight face around Ron though, like, if that was me, I would of been so red in the face blushing and smiling! 😍🥰💖💖💖) Sorry John Travolta fangirls, I never saw what you all did in John, Ron Palillo/Horshack was always THE heartthrob to me! 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💕💕💕😍😍😍 His smile though at 0:40 though! OMG! 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍💖💖💖
@@TJamesBell Yeah, I'm a girl, I LOVE nerdy/dorky guys, so Arnold was the one I LOVE the most, yeah, I'm not like other girls, they'd probably pick Vinnie, but me, I was never into guys like him, Arnold's the one for me, he's so adorable and so funny. ^^
Even so. I don't know about all of that. Ron Pallilo, too. But, at the time, I wasn't even a tween yet and didn't think about that. All I knew, was that the show was hilarious. It had the right combination of actors. Woodman was funny, too. 😂😂
I remember watching this in the 70s? as young boy!, didn't realise at the time!, the Real Life Epstien! from Brooklyn! was dressed as a Pimp!, working at an elite school? ) was more into lego! & star wars figures!.
Agreed. There seem to be a few females in the comment section that loved him? Don't get it. At my high school, a guy like that would've got his ass kicked.
@@TJamesBell Yeah, I get it, it's hard to understand if you aren't a girl (like me and the others who loves Ron/Arnold ). it is a girl thing. :) (I understand you guy's opinions though,. ) You wanna know something cool? Ron has a niece in real life named Kayla. :) I became friends with her. :) She's really sweet. ^^ th-cam.com/channels/3VHKlk46IV0uf2jq-v85XQ.html
Whoever that guy was from the first few scenes who got the date and said he could teach Vinnie how to act when not having a date makes me want to mute whenever he talks. The voice he chose for the character is terrible. Also I have never found John Travokta hot or sexy. It is like freddy mercury in the sense how did people not know he was gay but freddy mercury has so much talent and I think is much better looking.

@pinkdruid23
Good story. In your case, worth buying Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD or Blu-ray. Then you can watch any time you want? Thanks for sharing.
My condolences. Kotter was one of my favorite shows.
Aww .It was a well written show and I watch them❤️
Nice. Xo
My condolence, Your Grandfather is a great writer. Did he write other shows? Is that Shirley?
Watched every day after school. Vinnie done us proud!
You from Brooklyn or the Bronx? Or Bed-Stuy?
It’s so great to watch all these old pieces! Wish they were on TV still
I just watched the whole series online and I absolutely loved it..I've never seen it before we never got this in the UK...

It's on AntennaTV every day from 2-3:00 PM. On Spectrum it's channel 1258. See if you have it here:

Travolta's hair is a work of art. Poufy basketry that must've required 30 minutes and half a can of hairspray.

I had that hair in the 70s I was around 10yrs old-you just bent over and stand up quickly the hair just falls into place 👍🏼
All the long haired 70s boys were gorgeous!
thanks , I am going on 62 and still have my long, elbeit salt & pepper, hair 🙂
True!!
I loved this show so much.
Me too
Why? Mental health issues maybe?
I really loved this show when I was a kid in Australia. Use to love Barbarino and Horshack. And Mr Kotter.
Didn't know Danny Zuko and Marty Maraschino go to a different school together before they were both in Rydel High
Wait till you see part 3 where Vinny becomes a hired killer and Quarter Pounder with cheese expert.
This takes me way back to when I was around 7yrs old
Beautiful man.. loved this show as a kid In new Zealand
One of my favorites TV shows ever 🎉😊
I miss shows like this
This is all before my time, but this is some good writing 😅
Same .agreed .
Wow! I just learned where Megadeath got one of their lines from for Sweating Bullets. 0:02
I loved this show
this man kills me laughing John Travolta is the best
Man Travolta was so hilarious!
Yep with that 70s hair
I got this show on DVD and I can’t wait to watch it
Good score.
I just love those Sweathogs
Vinnie so funny 🤣😆😂 when he rolls his eyes
Mr Kah Tier! Lmao
Loved seeing Dinah Manoff 💕
Wow, look at their hair! BTW, I did puppet parodies on Welcome Back, Kotter.

Lee's a friend of mine. Good guy. I'll check your Kotter puppet stuff out.

Never heard of this show before, I don't think it was aired here in the Netherlands. Would be neat if it would be streamed somewhere! Love the clips on TH-cam!
You can buy the entire series on DVD format.
Whenever Mr Kotter collected homework, Epstein had a note. Not to mention the smelliest gym socks.
Yep. And, I especially liked it when Juan Epstein did his Harpo Marx imitations. And, that walk and dance, 😂😂😂
They must have had a blast
This is actually funny
Actually? Get ur head examined
Such a great time...
John Travolta was actually pretty!
He truly is!!
Yeah, but he doesn’t go to Burger King.
He sure was and just as stupid as he wanted to be. What?! When?!😂😂😂
“Stella!
LOL
@kellyyork3898
LOL. Right!
I know. Right?! He just messed up the whole play but had everybody in the audience cracking up. 😂😂😂
2:35 idk why but she reminds me of Topanga from Boy meets world lol

His trademark laughing makes my heart sing I’m his cousin from Washington DC
@@robinstewart6422 👍🏾
And he had the greatest laugh ever heard by man.
One of the most awesome shows ever. Back when values and not snowflake feelings mattered
Yes. Great show. There's a hundred things I could say in response to that, but not sinking to that level. No politics.
“I’m acting,leave me alone”
John had the moves then, too.
Barbarino was the funniest of the sweathogs.
He was cool. You just wanted to kick Horshack's ass.
Awesome
Even a hurricane couldn’t shift Travoltas hair
02:46 moves like jagger
😂so funny😅🎉
Vinny is looking for love in all the wrong places. Looking for love in too many faces. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Hey, that's Chris Farley and Janeane Garogalo at the end there, I'd like to see that.😊

70s were a magical time for TV. Before it became hate and propaganda...
Indeed
0:14 So this is where Ed got his outfit from
Vinnie Barbarino.
I'm here looking up old stuff about Gabe Kaplan. Probably not going back any further cause jeez.
Marcia Strassman wasn't a fan. She literally hated him.
So many Afro hairstyles in this show.😅
Wasn’t the character of Vinnie Barbarino kind of modeled after the character of Arthur Fonzarelli?
Nope. They were parallel universes.
I always thought that Vinnie was patterned after Elvis Presley. That Barbarino dance got my attention every time.😆

Needs more Carvelli and Murray.
I'll be your date, Barbarino.
What I've heard about John Travolta he might have enjoyed kissing Freddy
Yep, he's a "secret' gay.
Even so. I don't know about all of that. Ron Pallilo, too. But, at the time, I wasn't even a tween yet and didn't think about that. All I knew, was that the show was hilarious. It had the right combination of actors. Woodman was funny, too. 😂😂
This guy is John Travolta??
Please, I want to know the year of that serie of tv!
Thanks!
Greetings from URUGUAY!!(2021)
1975 - 1979. They're available on DVD. Great show. Travolta left by Season 4 to become a movie star, you might want to focus on Season 1 & 2.
All 16 year old kids with 30 year old actors
Gee surprised you didn't throw 'boomer' in there to lil fella 😂
FREDDIE BOOM BOOM WASHINGTON SAYS MR.KOTTIER THE BEST
I know that's right! And, "Hello there." 😂😂😂
I remember watching this in the 70s? as young boy!, didn't realise at the time!, the Real Life Epstien! from Brooklyn! was dressed as a Pimp!, working at an elite school? ) was more into lego! & star wars figures!.
Realize, not realise.
at 3:00 - what kind of dance is Travolta doing?
The Barbarino dance.
Vinnie Barbarino dance lol
I was 4-5 when this show was huge, so I wasn't a fan back then. It's pretty funny though. It's just how can this compare to Muppets to a kid that age?
But no "Ba-ba-ba, ba-Barbarino"?
If it weren't for this show I wouldn't have pretended to be a nerd so I could have 26 bodies before graduation
I think Charmaine is Dinah Manoff? Or am I seeing things?
Yep. Not seeing things.
@@TJamesBell hey am I good or what?! 👍🏻
@@richardalva5850
Well done.
I liked Dinah Manoff in Grease and Empty Nest, too. Park Overall was a hoot, too.
Actors dancing actually doesn't look totally stupid here
The cattle are dying.
how come the other Sweat-hogs never say anything? the extras.. they just sit back and never speak
That's why they're called 'extras'. They're paid background performers hired by production from Central Casting. Non-speaking roles.
Keaneu Reeves and mila kumis
