TV NEWS JULY 3

Antenna TV announced that many sitcoms were coming in 2017, but Welcome Back, Kotter wasn't on that list... but it's coming soon! In fact the classic '70s sitcom joins the line-up this September. Antenna TV still has at least 5 other sitcoms coming in 2017, including The Hogan Family, Growing Pains, Head of the Class, Alice and Murphy Brown. No word on any timetables just yet on those, or a date for Kotter in September. You'll just have to continue to keep it right here as we get that Fall 2017 schedule. Welcome Back, Kotter was on the MeTV Network, but was removed earlier this year, as looks like they have lost rights to the series. The series starred Gabe Kaplan as a wisecracking high school teacher in charge of a racially and ethnically diverse remedial class called the "Sweathogs." The sitcom aired on ABC from 1975-79 and starring Kaplan, Marcia Strassman, John Sylvester White, Robert Hegyes, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, Ron Palillo and John Travolta.
