Welcome Back, Seinfeld?
A look at Larry David's lost Welcome Back, Kotter script

Over two decades before striking sitcom gold as the co-creator of Seinfeld, Larry David began his career peddling spec scripts in Hollywood. Many of David's Seinfeld ideas began in those early scripts including "The Smelly Car" (Chico and the Man), "The Chinese Restaurant" (Laverne & Shirley), and "The Puffy Shirt" (Kojak). The first act of a Welcome Back, Kotter script bearing Larry David's name recently began circulating on the internet. While its authenticity is not certain, we present it here for your perusal.
