I totally agree.

Tim Conway and Harvey Korman still travel together doing comedy, and I got to see them a couple of years ago. They’re still hilarious!

Good work.

"Up your nose with a rubber hose" was Vinnie Barbarino's signature line. The original title of the series was to be simply "Kotter," but that was before composer John Sebastian had difficulty writing the theme song lyrics. He couldn't find enough rhyming words for the title. Giving up on that tack, he decided to compose lyrics that illustrated the premise of the show in a song called, "Welcome Back." The producers were so impressed with the song that they decided to change the series title to "Welcome Back, Kotter." The song was also released on a single which went to #1 on the charts.

[TheDoctorNoh]

Thank you for starting such a fun thread!
