While on the Subject of "Welcome Back Kotter"

I looked it up on Wikipedia to find out when the sitcom ran. It ran from 1975 to 1979.

Mr. Kotter was teaching the Sweathogs, who got their name because remedial classes were located all the way at the top of the fictional James Buchanan High School in Brooklyn, New York City.

Juan Epstein's (Robert Hegyes) big quote was, "Hey, Mr. Kotter, I got a note." It was always excusing him from something and signed "Epstein's Mother."

Juan actually wrote the note and to prove it would lip sync it while Mr. Kotter read it.
