Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index What's Happening!! was an American sitcom that ran on ABC from 1976 to 1979. It dealt with the antics of three African-American teens living in Watts. Ernest Thomas played Roger Thomas, Haywood Nelson played Dwayne Nelson, Fred Berry played Freddie "Rerun" Stubbs. Also featured were Danielle Spencer as Roger's younger sister, Dee, Mabel King as their mother, and Shirley Hemphill as Shirley, the waitress of the boys' favorite restaurant. The show was a modest success in its network run, and the repeats of the show's 65 episodes did considerably well in syndication. With this in mind, a revival of the show was produced entitled What's Happening Now!! It ran from 1985 to 1988 in first-run syndication. The first season, consisting of 21 episodes, will be released in February 2004 on Region 1 DVD from Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment. This article is from Wikipedia.
