Funny, entertaining show that will always be a classic., 7 February 1999
Author: Moonbeam-5 from Atlanta, Georgia

I'm 17 years old now, and a few years ago when Nick-At-Nite did the revival, showing every episode of "Welcome Back, Kotter", I was immediately hooked! It was so funny, I tuned in every night they showed it. The characters are all so stupid, you grow to love them :o) Definitely a great show for all ages!
