Season III :
Not crazy about....
Sweathog Back-to-School Special ***
(I don't hate it but it's a clip show. Funnier than the Dec. one.
A Novel Idea (A lame plot idea.) **
A Sweathog Christmas Special (I'm sorry but TWO clip shows in 3 months?) **
Angie (Would like it more if 'Angie' had stayed in the cast.) ***

Epstein's Term Paper ****
There's No Business: Part 1 *****
There's No Business: Part 2 *****
(This 2 pt. show is my pick as best one of S. # 3.)
What Goes Up (Despite what some have said, I feel the cast did a great
job in this episode. As far as a serious subject, this one's A+ with me too.)
Goodbye, Mr. Kripps ***
Horshack and the Madame X ***
The Kiss ****
The Return of Hotsy Totsy *****
(and last but not least) :
Class Encounters of the Carvelli Kind. ****
I don't understand the hate for this episode.
Carvelli comes in late with a lame excuse for it and tries to convince others he was actually abducted, leading Woodman to take him to his office. Gabe in the meantime, sits at the window and imagines what would happen, if Carvelli's story were true.
Carvelli says there'll be a landing in the schoolyard on a certain night and
all show up (even Woodman) and of course he takes their money to see it, along with selling souvenirs.
Then a spaceship actually does land. It's Julie but she confesses she really is a Yorkslight alien and takes Woodman aboard. It's all in Gabe's imagination, simple as that.
The writers didn't go into an unrealistic
territory and write it like it 'really did or could' happen.

Season #4 (IV)
Not Crazy about :
A Little Fright Music **
(Goes along the lines of A Novel Idea.
Marks the last time Mr. Kotter was ever really effective in a show.)
Bride and Gloom * ( I honestly found this one boring and an absurd story. )

Once Upon a Ledge *****
(Well done show. Mary's (Irene's) emotions while on the ledge are how she should
feel then. Especially the guys trying to con her inside.) Ron did a great job too.)
The Sweatmobile ***
Beau's Jest *****
Barbarino's Boo-Boo ***
X-Rated Education ***** (Closer to what a season 1 or 2 show would be.)
The Barbarino Blues ****
Washington's Clone ****
Frog Day Afternoon *****
A Winter's Coat Tale ****
Barbarino's Baby **** (Travolta's last aired ep.)
The Goodbye Guy ***
Come Back, Little Arnold *****
Beats out Once Upon A Ledge for the best of season 4. (Check out my
review of it.) I will say this, Ron Palillo's acting is awesome here.
The Sweat Smell of Success ***
The Gang Show ***
Oo, Oo, I Do: Part 1 *****
Oo, Oo, I Do: Part 2 *****
(Orig. meant for finale and that's just what I did when I viewed
the DVDs. Despite Mary mentioning she & Arnold being married in The Breadwinners.)
I'm Okay, But You're Not ****
(I like it, sure.... but it should have aired earlier in the season.
Beau still trying to prove himself to the guys w/ school year almost over?)
The Breadwinners ***
(Pretty good but should have aired before,"Oo - Oo I Do" (w. mention of
Mary & Arnold's marriage omitted. Not a great way for the show to end either.)
