Did real boys in the 70s wear those skintight trousers to school?

I thought this was a complaint about Welcome Back Kotter, saying "it is pants". Bah!

Trayce, I'd like my thoughts back, thank you. ;)

Seriously, though, I thought that the moment I saw the subject header, as well. Hurrah, great minds, all that!

He was a weird guy. Talked a lot about dating when you're older.

was he coming on to you?

Gabe Kaplan was a commentator at least year's World Series of Poker in Las Vegas!!

Gabe Kaplan was awesome on Battle of the Network Stars

Yes. And don't forget the comb.

After Kotter he became a financial advisor!

― s1utsky (slutsky), Monday, 13 October 2003 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

and a radio sports talk show host!

I just don't think I would trust Gabe Kaplan with my money.

Compared to now, jeans, trousers, etc. were definately tighter. It almost seems a little creepy. I remember Welcome Back Kotter so well. John Travolta on the cover of Tiger Beat or whatever. Gabe Kaplan had a mousy wife on the show.

I found the interview. It doesn't really do justice to how weird he was.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 00:37 (twenty-one years ago)

(though his first joke should give you some indication)

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 00:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Gabe Kaplan had a mousy wife on the show.

That being Marcia Strassman, who had a west coast regional hit in 1967 with a hippie exploitation song called "The Flower Children". She turns up in the occasional TV series.

Kaplan himself appears to have a rudimentary web site at http://www.gabekaplan.com/

RIP Gabe Kaplan,
