Reviews

brucebaskin I was a senior in high school when this show debuted and even though I was a white kid in the 'burbs, I found much of what Raj, Rerun and Dwayne did and talked about easy to relate to because even though my own life was pretty far removed from black kids in the city, I think kids are going to be kids at heart, guys are always going to come up with ideas that seem better at their genesis than they actually end up being and "What's Happening!" seems to have been written with that at the show's core. It's a well-done sitcom that doesn't talk down to its audience.I'll spare the character profiles and such because there are plenty of other reviewers here who've done a good job of that. What I will say is that 40 years after it first aired on ABC, "What's Happening!" holds up nicely. It was definitely an ensemble comedy that changed when Mabel King left the show, but the actors worked well together and had a good on- screen chemistry. Although "What's Happening!" wasn't as popular at the time as other sitcoms based on black families like "Good Times" or "The Jeffersons," it is definitely in their league in terms of the quality of acting and writing. I didn't give it a "10" rating because there wasn't a lot of character development (hardly unique for sitcoms), Mabel King's exit meant the loss of the one character who seemed able to create order out of the chaos that usually ensued when the guys got into a jam and a sense of staleness was beginning to set in by its last season. Still, it rates a solid "8" with me and that "8" applies in 2017 as well as for 1977. "What's Happening!" endures as one of the better, if underrated, comedies of the late Seventies. Worth watching.

Johnny Banderas My God this show is so hilarious after over 40 years. I'm only 33 but watched some of these episodes and its sequel when I was a kid in the 80s. So funny, I would recommend it to anyone that likes to travel back in time and catch some of the great comedies of its time. Thanks to anyone in the cast that's still alive. I don't think anyone is the cast was the weak link. They all bring something to the show. Love the mom's performance. Raj, is so skinny and hilarious watching him TRY to dance, and Rerun makes my ribs hurt. Love it when Shirley calls someone "sucka" Dee has such a smart mouth, and Dwayne is so naïve its hilarious. Thanks again for a timeless classic.

retro_fan What's Happening!! was one of the greatest shows of the late 70's. What I really liked about the show was that every episode seemed to have a different plot line to it. I gave it a 9 and not a 10 because it was canceled and did not go out on top. The reason why I gave it a 9 was because it captured positive late 70's black culture. It did not have to use " black exploitation" to make it a great show. In the entire run of the show (3 seasons) their never was a violent scene and they never had to use the "N" word to make it funny. My favorite character of the show was Rerun (Fred Berry) because he seemed to play the personality of the "loveable loser" to perfection which made him a great actor. Also, I liked Dee (Danielle Spencer) a lot because she handled the role of childhood star with grace. After her childhood acting days ended she didn't use the money for bad reasons. She went on to become a veterinarian. Which can show people that you can be a childhood star and still live a normal adult life (contatary to popular belief).

tames50 I was a "What's Happening" fanatic as a child. I used to love watching that show everyday when I came home from school. I used to love Raj, Rerun, Dwayne, and Dee who always used to say " I'm tell mama" and then always blackmailing Raj to give her a quarter to keep her mouth shut. I definitely wish Nick-at-Nite or TV Land would bring the old reruns of this show back on television.This show was full of comedy and humor. I would love this to come back on the networks as a classic comedy show. So producers of Nick-at-Nite or TV Land bring "What's Happening" back to life.
