Yes I watched it. I loved all the characters/ actors on the show. And though Travolta ( Vinnie Barbarino ) was I believe the main star, Epstein was really my favorite. That is the one I had a crush on. Rest in peace, Bobby.

The guy who played Horshack, was hilarious. He made the comedy in this show even better.

Liked it, but didn't think it was tough enough at the time. It was good natured , so so funny. Always watchable though. It does bring me back in time though. Someday we'll all be up there watching re-runs of our lives. Keep laughing until then. As Warren Zevon said on Letterman as he was dying, "Enjoy every sandwich.". So long Epstein.

Huh? I had to look him up to see what he had been up to since then. I was a tad old for that show, but do remember it. Didn't realize he had been that active since that show and after see his "grown-up" picture, never would have recognized him.

R.I.P.

Went to the high school, New Utrecht in Brooklyn before the TV show. Funny show. Made a star out of John Travolta who got the part in Saturday Night Fever. Some video from my question on his passing. RIP Robert.
