 Great Show, Unusually Good DVD Release!Nov 16, 2008
I guess you could say I'm picky with DVD releases, but this one was quite good. The theme song is intact, the studio audience laughter is still there and the episodes are mostly complete, with the episodes usually running from 24-25 minutes. It's always annoying when a show is released on DVD but is badly edited, glad to see they left this show mostly intact. The price is also quite good, you get 22 episodes, compared with some DVDs which contain 15 at a higher price (I'm looking at you, Paramount). Picture quality is decent, certainly not the level seen in "I Love Lucy" or "MASH" but those shows were done on film, and considering this show was done on tape I'd say it's pretty good. As for the humor, well taste is subjective but I enjoyed this even if I didn't quite get the occasional topical joke, with much of it being quite watchable.

This will take you back to the days when Welcome Back Kotter was a weekly favorite on the T.V. Looking back you can enjoy the great writing that made this show so popular. Here's to a young and sexy John Travolta!

Welcome Back Kotter DVD setMar 10, 2008
This DVD set arrived quickly and was exactly what it stated it was, the whole first season of Welcome Back Kotter. My family and I are loving every episode. Great experience!
Why don't they do something like this?Feb 09, 2008
I'll keep it short and simple. I LOVE this show. It seems they always do something like this when releasing old shows. They release a season or two and then they just stop. Why don't they release the entire series as a box set. Wouldn't that be easier, and satisfy all of us who want the entire series. Quite annoying... and from the looks of it, it looks as though we will never see Season 2. Argh... argh indeed!
