Former Sweathog Gabe Kotter returns to his alma mater, Buchanan High School(located in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, NY) to teach a new generation of Sweathogs, a group of supposedly unteachable, under-achieving and incorrigible students. They were Vinnie Barbarino, the group's; wisecracking leader; Juan Epstein, a Puerto Rican Jew; dimwitted Arnold Horshack; and cool Freddie "Boom-Boom" Washington. Gabe had to try to reach out to these students by relating his own experiences to the students, but was often hindered in his efforts by cantankerous vice-principal, Michael Woodman.
who was in the show?

Gabe Kotter - Gabe Kaplan
Vinnie Barbarino - John Travolta
Juan Epstein - Robert Hegyes
Arnold Horshack - Ron Palillo
Freddie "Boom-Boom" Washington - Lawrence Hilton Jacobs
Michael Woodman - John Sylvester White
Julie Kotter - Marcia Strassman
I remembered the first two, had to look in Wikipedia for the others. Was a great show that showed that different ethnic groups could interact without consideration that they were different -- they had common ground.
Thanks for bringing back some fond memories.
Note - after looking over the answers, it was John Sebastian who sang the theme, "Welcome Back", not David Gates. (from memory - I was a David Gates fanatic back then)

John Travolta was in it, I believe he was Vinnie Barbarino. I can't remember who else was in it, its been a while since I've seen it.
