OK, now I feel old.

I actually watched that TV Land Awards. It was kind of nice to see a lot of these actors (most out of the spotlight for years) come back and genuinely appreciate being honored (even Travolta) for a show that may not have been a critical darling but had a lot of fans.

Damn. 60?

Nice. Loved this show but haven't seen it in years. RIP.

Well, that's just sad. I loved that show.

What the ****? Was Robert Hegyes starring in Cats at the time?

That's a great pic. Really seems like they were all authentically happy to be there.

Also, Travolta made it but not Horshack? WTF? Was he performing in the summer stock version of "Cyrano de Bergerac?"

Has to sit atop the list of most accomplished Puerto Rican Jews of all time. RIP.

Best theme song ever too BTW.

He taught drama at UConn when I was a student there in the mid to late 90s. Don't know if he still is in Storrs.

I particularly enjoyed Washington's "Hi there." And yes, LTL, the theme song is/was awesome.

Marge: A Nobel Prize Winner! An NBA All-Star! Ooh, one of the Sweathogs [is dead].

Selma: I checked. It's not Horshack.

Absolutely

I saw this thread and worried that the Cubs had to start from scratch again.

I didn't know Heyges had become an English barrister. And Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs looks like Smoove B. And I don't recall another adult female besides Kotter's wife (Marcia Strassman) as part of the main cast. So who's the younger female? Their kid on the show, Robin?

 

[dooley_womack1]

And the only thing I knew post-Kotter about Ron Palillo before Corky's post is that he was in one of the Friday the 13th films (the one that Alice Cooper did Man Behind the Mask for)

Rockford Files would like to see you in the principal's office.
