Antenna TV's Welcome Back to School Marathon; Apple TV+ Is Trying for More Comedy
Just in time for Labor Day, Antenna TV will celebrate the official end of summer with a "Welcome Back to School Marathon" on Monday, September 5 featuring some of the most memorable episodes of the 1970's hit comedy series Welcome Back, Kotter. Starting at 5am ET, go back to school with Gabe Kotter, portrayed by actor and comedian Gabe Kaplan, teaching misfit students at his alma mater. Episode highlights include "The Fight," "Kotter Makes Good," "Sweatwork," "Horshack vs. Carvelli," and "I'm Having Their Baby." Kaplan appeared five times on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and the marathon will include an expanded 90-minute episode of Johnny Carson's show at 10:00pm ET. The 24-hour marathon ends at 5:00am ET. Welcome Back, Kotter regularly airs Mon-Fri at 5pm ET | 2pm PT.
Apple TV+ announced that acclaimed comedy series Trying has been renewed for a fourth season ahead of its third season finale on Friday, September 2. The third season finds Nikki, played by BAFTA Award nominee Esther Smith, and Jason, played by SAG Award nominee Rafe Spall, waking up as new parents to two children they are still getting to know. Now they just have to keep hold of them, which proves to be trickier than they initially thought. Thrown straight into the parental deep end, Nikki and Jason's relationships with each other and with their nearest and dearest are tested as they desperately try to navigate the ups and downs of parenting - while hanging onto their kids, and their sanity. In addition to Smith and Spall, the cast includes Oliver Chris (as Freddy), Sian Brooke (as Karen), BAFTA Award winner Darren Boyd (as Scott) and Robyn Cara (as Jen).
