Farewell, Horshack
The Welcome Back, Kotter cast is one step closer to reuniting up in heaven, because 7 months after Epstein's afro halo carried him up to the afterlife, Horshack has joined him. TMZ says that Ron Palillo's partner of many years Joseph Gramm found him unconscious at their home near Palm Beach, FL at around 4 this morning. Joseph called for an ambulance and Ron was rushed to the hospital, but it was too late and he was pronounced dead when he got there. Ron was 63.
TMZ is hearing that Ron suffered a heart attack and everyone around him is shocked, because he seemed like he was in good health. Ron, who was a serious smoker, was supposed to visit the doctor today, because for the past few days he had a bitch of a cough.
Besides playing Horshack for the entire run of Welcome Back, Kotter, Ron was also in a few episodes of Ellen and did voice work on Darkwing Duck. But I will forever remember Horshack as the lucky dude who got to fist punch Screech in his ugly annoying face on that mess of a reality show known as Celebrity Boxing.
Rest in peace, Arnold Dingfelder Horshack. You'll always be my favorite WBK character, and yes it's because your last name is whore shack.
And just in case the death of WBK cast members comes in threes, a harem of male massage therapists better form a prayer circle jerk around John Travolta.

Bless him. I loved him in that show. Very sad.
Oh no. My favorite Sweathogs are both gone...RIP.
First George Jefferson flies up to Weezey, now Horshack will hang with Juan Epstein. Too sad that so many of our 70s sitcom icons are leaving us--it's like a slice of your childhood is gone if you remember that time.
WBK was must-watch TV for a few years. The last interview I saw with RP, he was all "I'm a serious actor now" and I kind of felt like he should be glad anyone even knew who he was, which they wouldn't if not for WBK. That's ok, though--he'd clearly moved on.
RIP. "OOOOOH OH OOOOH MR. KOTTER!" will live on forever!
Hahaha - that's exactly what I thought "He had a full page pull out poster in Teen Beat?" (not to be confused of course with Tiger Beat)

I love that he was in Teen Beat!
RIP... <3!
RIP funny dude. Back in the day where kids could actually watch TV.
The sads for sure. WBK use to be my show and I love that they were dumb as hell and we were able to laugh at them. That shit doesn't happen anymore. :)
Of course I am old enough to remember this. I remember the Principal, Mr. Woodhead. * (puts the Werthers back in my mouth) Schoolhouse rock was cool. Hell, if it weren't for Sesame Street, I wouldn't be able to count en Espanol.
I heard the dj announce his death on the radio today while I was at the deli on my lunch break. The name didn't ring any bells, but the moment I came here and saw his face I remember watching him on Nick At Nite. Sadness. It seems like all of the pieces from my childhood are slowly leaving one by one.

Is Gabe Kaplan still alive? What about Boom Boom Washington? We all know where John Travolta is...with a masseuse.
Welcome to hell.
Dammit people are dropping like flies again. RIP Horshack!
Don't worry! You don't need to respond.
I love that he was in Teen Beat!
RIP... <3!

I have "Schoolhouse Rock" on DVD, anyone remember that shyt?:
"An adverb is a word, that modifies a verb..."
"Conjunction junction, what's your function?"
If it wasn't for Schoolhouse Rock I still would have no fucking idea how a bill becomes a law!
=========================================
Well some day there ought to be a LAWWWW oh I hope and I pray that I will but today I am still just a Bill......I'm just a Bill stuck right here on Capital hill

Nooooo!!!!!! Freddy "Boom Boom" Washington better get a check up, NOW!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Damn right!!!!!
it turns out he was working as a teacher at a high school for the arts.... luckily his students were probably too young to remember his show, otherwise can you imagine all the "ooh ooh oooh"ing they would do everytime he asked a question????
Hekki that was Epstein

'Verb, that's what's happening!'
And of course the Preamble...'We the people, in order to form a more perfect Union...' they don't make'em like they used to, lol!
I got that DVD a few years back. My daughter looked at me like what was the big deal.
Aww, no! Sads. (Didn't he die already? I feel like he die a year ago or something)
When I read "The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog" to my kids, I do Horshack's voice for the pigeon character. They love it.
RIP, Ron.

agirl, I have the whole series on DVD of SHR! My son still says those snippets "I'm just a Bill on Capitol Hill!" and he sings the number songs, the number 8 is his favorite.

Is that the one with the figure skater? LOVE Schoolhouse Rock!! I wish MK would write about it. MK are you reading this?

My son is 11 and he loves all the old shows I find him on Netflix. He LOL's from Gilligan's Island to the A-Team. He doesn't like the shows today at all.

Thank you Evil - I feel a bit better now. Those old shows rock!

Cannot believe he was 63! God, loved that show. Best WBK episode was when Mr. K. was out and the sweathogs had to get a sub. The ran each of them off till the last one who was a big, black tough guy. Memories.
RIP Ron.

I watched this on Nick at Nite years ago. I liked his character but Travolta's character I just could not watch.

EvilS, I still prefer Vinnie Barbarino, Tony Manero and heck even Vincent Vega compared to that CO$ mess right now! UGH!

Info on Ron Palillo.....sad:
Http://washedupcelebrities.blogspot.com/2009/06/ron-palillo.html?m=1
ETA: The show's theme song, "Welcome Back" by John Sebastian (Lovin' Spoonful) went to #1 back in 1976 on Billboard's Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts.
Mickey, the theme song one was of the best of all times!

63 is way too fucking young.
***********************************************
Turn this thing around,I will not go quietly
I will not lie down, I will not go quietly
When I saw the pic I thought it was that Karate Kid guy before he had rhinoplasty surgery
It's strange how I can remember the theme song lyrics but not the series themself. Was it perhaps crap?

Like Jennifer Grey after him, Ron had a nose job way after he got famous.....unfortunately, it did not lead to more work.
Gabe Kaplan is only 4 years older and is a professional poker player/commentator.
RIP Horshack! :(
For those who don't know this, guess you hatta be deah!

i remember the actress who played julie was allergic to bras. as was what's her face from "one day at a time".
------------------------------------------
hehehe So was Rhoda. I got a free preview of a 70's sitcom channel the other weekend and noticed that.
the mother on one day at a time was such a raging beeotch oh and terrible actress. I hear she's gonna be on Young and Restless soon. ;-P
on topic: Peace out Brotha.. hey is the southern blond dude that replaced Revolata still around? The show went downhill after that.. The principal was hilarious though.
I thought he was funny in "Welcome back Kotter" but now that I'm a teacher I can honestly say, I can't stand kids like that! Anywho RIP
Wow, there are people who don't know the show Welcome Back, Kotter. How the world has changed.
Now only 3 of them left... Travolta, Hilton-Jacobs, Kaplan.

How sad. I was looking on youtube trying to find a clip of him saying "hello.... how are ya?" Didn't he do that bit sometimes? (the younguns who don't know what a Kotter is must be wondering why this might be even remotely amusing... guess you had to be there!)
Anyway, RIP.
Never liked that show but I remember his laugh and him raising his hand to the sky "Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh, Mr. Kot-tair, Mr. Kot-tair!"
