Rewind TV's Welcome Back, (to School) Kotter Marathon; Gary Coleman Peacock Documentary

Rewind TV will have a Welcome Back, (to School) Kotter Marathon this Sunday. It will be a 13-hour marathon of the '70s sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter from 10am ET through 11pm ET. So let's start writing on the chalk board ("Horshack was here," "I will watch Rewind TV") and hit the books! The sitcom regularly airs on Rewind TV Mon-Fri 11a ET and Saturdays 11p ET. In the series, Gabe Kotter returns to his old high school -- this time as a teacher. He's put in charge of a class full of unruly remedial students called the Sweathogs. They're a bunch of wisecracking, underachieving and incorrigible students, and it takes all of Mr. Kotter's humor -- and experience as a former Sweathog himself -- to deal with his class.
Peacock has debuted the official trailer for the new Gary Coleman original documentary, Gary, premiering August 29, exclusively on Peacock. Peacock's new documentary, Gary explores the fascinating life and mysterious death of beloved child actor, Gary Coleman. Through exclusive interviews with fellow actor, Todd Bridges, former managers, his estranged parents and Coleman's ex-wife, the film details his rise to international fame as the child star of Diff'rent Strokes and the dark sides of his personal life off camera. The 90-minute documentary, Gary sheds a new light on the star's life and explores the controversy surrounding his tragic death at the age of 42 in 2010. Viewers will get insight into Coleman's lifelong illness and depression, his financial troubles, tumultuous marriage, and his heartbreaking demise.
