Summary: Love it! Where are the next 2 seasons?
Review: This is a slice of television history that must be taken and passed among generations new and old to enjoy. What's Happening is classic humor that takes you back to the days when children could be children without all the stress and pressure that come with today's times. You had the witty and intelligent Raj, with his nerdy style and those glasses, his outspoken and spunky sister, Dee, whose "OOH! I'ma tell Mama...U gon get it,Raj" had us all shaking our heads. Then their were his boys, Dwayne (Hey, hey, hey) and the butt of all the fat jokes, Rerun (man, that brotha could DANCE!) There will never be another like him. God rest his soul. The mother was an example of the love, strength and no nonsense attitude only a single parent can have. Mabel King was classy and added a taste of sophistication to What's Happening. God rest her soul. Shirley (Shirley Hemphill) was also a hit, with her sharp wit and that six inch fro. Her popular character definitely represented for the big sistas with her "take no mess" attitude. God rest her soul. I was only 7 when this came out and recently purchased this DVD set to relive those memories of coming home, plopping down in front of the television and watching people that looked just like me going through trials and tribulations everyone can relate to. You could almost taste the orange sodas, burgers and shakes at the soda shop. Such innocence back then. Kids of today truly don't know what they're missing. They just don't make good-hearted shows like this anymore. I recommend getting this set and watching it with your own children. Peace. CLB.

Summary: This Show is timeless....
Review: For us 30 somethings who grew up on this show, we couldn't be more excited, because we know how truly funny and special it is. I would however encourage the younger crowd to buy this classic dvd series because it's timeless. The jokes as just as funny and fresh as they were then. 'Shirley' always cracked me up, because as the wise-cracking waitress at the soda shop, she didn't put up with no mess. She had the most sarcastic and sharp cutdowns I've ever hear, usually at the hapless Re-run's expense, the overweight comic relief of the show. Even though those characters were my favorites, all the cast of this show works
well with each other. I can't wait to relive those funny times when my dvd arrives soon!

Summary: Hopefully The 2nd Season Will Be Coming Soon To DVD!
Review: I really enjoyed watching this show when I was kid. I used to watch the syndicated reruns when the afterschool cartoons were gone off. It's good to see Raj, Dwayne, Rerun and of course obnoxious lovable Dee after so many years of the show being off the air. This show ran when television was a little more interesting than it is today. The jokes and comedy are still fresh and funny as ever. I bought this DVD after hearing news of the actor who played rerun unfortunate death. It's good to see that old shows like this one are becoming available on dvd, since network and cable television is becoming increasingly dull.

Summary: Give me a dolla or I tell mama
Review: With the DVD release of 'What's Happenin' we are finally able to show children of the 1990's who Urkel's father was. Rojer Thomas, the world's first black nerd is in high form here as the star of this controversial television show. Controversial you say? You better believe it. Look at all the bad dancing on that show. The most famous of course is during the shows opening credits. When 'Roj' is sitting backwards on his chair and hitting himself of the chin with his fists. What the heck is he doing??? Now if you are a lover of BIIIIIG women, this show has a heaping double dose. First you get mama, all of her at once and Lord knows you better have a wide screen TV. We also have SHirly, the Snow Woman. Snow Woman? Yes that's right. You know how Snowmen are basiclly built with three balls of snow? Well Shirlly is shaped like that. Big fro, huge bosom, and gargantuan boody. Love her all at once daddy, this woman likes a strong man. I love this show because it shows how people really are in real life.....goofy.

Summary: Revisitng The Good Ol' Days
Review: I was 5 years old when this tv sitcom first aired. I remember my mom and I watching it each week along with Good Times and Sanford and Son. At the time, I didn't think the show was really funny but when I purchased my own copy of the DVD recently, I literally have to put the cd on pause just to get myself together from laughing so hard. Hopefully, the last 3 seasons of the show will soon follow the first one to DVD.

Summary: This one is a lot of fun
Review: I was a kid when this originally aired, and I don't remember watching it much. I received this set as a gift and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The show isn't profound, but it is funny (especially Danielle Spencer's Dee) and I'd like the see the remaining seasons released. The series was revived for syndication years later for an additional three seasons of new shows under the title "What's Happening Now!" with most of the cast intact.

Summary: We Want MORE What's Happening!!!
Review: I bought the DVD on a whim while Valentine shopping for my husband. It was definitely more for me than for him. But we both love it!!! And I enjoy introducing the "gang" to my 5 year old daughter. She loves to do the "high five" with the snap and the point. She's got it down pack!!! They don't make wholesome shows like that anymore. Nowadays parents even need to screen some of the CARTOONS children watch to make sure they're "safe". I'm enjoying the shows and still laughing OUT LOUD at their antics. And although there's no "special features" on the DVD, many of the final scenes of each episode were routinely cut out in syndication. So some things are just like new for me all over again, since I was too young to remember when they were originally aired. I can't wait to buy season 2 and 3 whenever they become available. I hope it's soon! HEY, HEY, HEY!

Summary: Hey Hey Hey, Get What's Happening on DVD Today!
Review: Columbia Tristar's DVD box set of What's Happening Season one consists of 21 episodes(approximately 23 minutes each), with 3 discs and 7 episodes on each. This set is encased in a bright and colorful box with a trifold storage design. The 21 episodes include the first episode, "Runaway" and a touching seasonal story, entitled "Christmas". When the viewer places one of the DVD's into a player, a colorful animated menu pops up, regaling with retro images of the cast members with 70's style gradients and the unforgettable and bouncey Henry Mancini theme song.
The video and sound are good, typical of any show from its period. There are no alternate language tracks, although it is closed captioned in English. With approximately 520 minutes of wholesome family entertainment, highlighting some of the show's stronger episodes, the What's Happening box set is a surefire way down memory lane with tons of laughs and with a reasonable price tag. Unfortunately, there are no extras to speak of, no interviews or commentary, not even footnotes. However, the overall quality is very good and is worth a peek for the What's Happening fan.

Summary: HEY HEY HEY!!
Review: This was the best series on TV next to Married with Children. I loved this show! Watching it again i'm suprised I still laughed just as hard as I did when I was 10 years old! It was real groundbreaking Television back in the days, showing a lower class black family in a sitcom. No matter who you were or were you grew up, you could feel for the characters and some of the hard times they had to go through. Awsome DVD set. Go get it if you love this show!!
