Product Information
One of a spate of urban sitcoms to emerge in the 1970s, WHAT'S HAPPENING was based on the 1975 film COOLEY HIGH, and followed three black teens into early adulthood. Roger "Raj" Thomas (Ernest Thomas) was a studious young man with a bratty sister, Dee (Danielle Spencer); the siblings lived with their mother Mabel "Mama" Thomas (Mabel King), in a lower-middle class Chicago home. Raj was most often hanging out with his friends Freddie "Rerun" Stubbs (Fred Berry)--so dubbed for his propensity to repeat classes--and Dwayne Nelson (Haywood Nelson), a somewhat dim young man with a nonetheless active imagination. The three were forever executing ill-advised schemes to either get rich, have fun, or some combination of the two, while little Dee was forever telling on them. The third and final season sees an end to Mama's character, and Shirley, the waitress at the boys' hangout, Rob's Place, has moved into the Thomas household. Meanwhile, Raj and Rerun have graduated high school and moved into an apartment of their own. Over the course of the season, Raj gets a job as a nude artist's model, the boys try to navigate the myriad challenges of living together, and Dee is accused of shoplifting.Product Identifiers
