Trivia: What character does James Buchanan High School “welcome back”?
Richard Belding
Tim Riggins
Gabe Kotter
Thornton Melon
Correct Answer: Gabe Kotter
So why is this answer correct? : James Buchanan High School, a fictional school in Brooklyn, is the setting for the 1970s sitcom “Welcome Back, Kotter,” which follows former student Gabe Kotter (played by Gabe Kaplan) as he returns to his alma mater to teach a remedial class, whose students include Vinnie Barbarino (a young John Travolta). The show’s opening credits feature the real New Utrecht High School in Brooklyn’s Bensonhurst neighborhood, where Kaplan was enrolled as a teenager.
