What's Happening!!
''What's Happening!!'' is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC from August 5, 1976 to April 28, 1979. The show premiered as a summer series. With good ratings and reviews, and after the failure of several other shows on the network, ''What's Happening!!'' returned in November 1976 as a weekly series. It remained a regular show until 1979; ratings were modest. ''What's Happening!!'' was loosely based on the Eric Monte-penned film ''Cooley High''. From 1985-88, a sequel series called ''What's Happening Now!!'' aired in first-run syndication, with most of the major cast members reprising their roles.
''What's Happening!!'' was Bud Yorkin's second series after he ended his partnership with Norman Lear in Tandem Productions. The show was produced by TOY Productions, which was formed by Yorkin, Saul Turtletaub, and Bernie Orenstein after the split.
==Premise==
''What's Happening!!'' follows the lives of three working-class African-American teens living in the South Los Angeles section of Los Angeles. The show stars Ernest Thomas as Roger "Raj" Thomas, Haywood Nelson as Dwayne Nelson, and Fred Berry as Freddy "Rerun" Stubbs. Co-starring are Danielle Spencer as Roger's younger sister Dee; Mabel King as Roger and Dee's mother Mabel; and Shirley Hemphill as Shirley Wilson, a waitress at ''Rob's Place'', the neighborhood restaurant where the boys are regular patrons. Recurring characters include Rob (Earl Billings), owner of Rob's Place; and Miss Collins (Fritzi Burr), a sarcastic history teacher and the sponsor of the school newspaper.
Unlike ''Good Times'', a contemporary show that also had an African-American cast (and was also produced by Eric Monte), ''What's Happening!!'' only rarely and mildly ventured into social commentary. Most episodes focused on the goals of teenage males: meeting girls, finding afterschool jobs, and planning for the future.
