Hilarious TV-Series as recommended by an enthusiastic fan
26 September 1999 | by (wuerzburg, germany) – See all my reviews

Although not watching this TV-series for the past twenty years I'm still able to remember details as names, sceneries and the soundtrack. The characters are well-pictured and witty, the dialogues are pointed. I wished I had had a teacher like Kotter myself.
