RE: welcome back kotter.
I loved welcome back kotter but the show got awful after gabe kaplan left and john travolta was like in 2  or 3 episodes and they replaced him with the guy from texas or arkansas.

RE: welcome back kotter.
yes i  would like to see welcome back kotter complete . but  i don,t think shout are releasing any of warners properties. as warner are notorious for not releasing any more season sets if  the first seasons  don,t sell  so who knows !!! also there maybe music problems as well , but you never know what,s coming out next year

RE: welcome back kotter.
I think the case with Welcome Back Kotter has more to do with the rights to the theme song than the sales of season 1. Remember, the theme, "Welcome Back" by John Sebastian, was a huge hit back in the 70s, so it would be quite expensive to use the song in each of the 23 episodes of season 2, and the 27 episodes of season 3. Unlike CBS/Paramount, Warner has a knack for keeping music intact for DVD releases. That's why some of their shows have still yet to see even season 1 releases. Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, for example.

So it is not very likely that we will see seasons 2 and 3 of Kotter released any time soon (season 4 is not necessary since it was an awful season). Plus, Warner has not licensed any of their shows to SF as far as I know. But who knows? I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway.

RE: welcome back kotter.
Just adding that I would like it if Shout would look into releasing the rest of Kotter.
