Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFred Berry and Ernest Thomas walked off the show during the second season, demanding more money and better dressing rooms. Their demands were met. After the third season, Berry and Thomas convinced Haywood Nelson to join them in another walkout demanding more money. Even though the show ranked 29th in the 1978-79 season, ABC canceled it rather than deal with their demands.
- GoofsIn the opening credits for the second season, both Dee and Mama are added, with Dee shown running out of her house and Mama ordering her back inside. However, the house Dee exits does not appear to be the same one (although it is similar) to the house Raj is shown exiting since the opening credits of the first season.
- Quotes
Fred 'Rerun' Stubbs: I can't help it if I'm fat! It runs in my family.
Dee Thomas: Nobody runs in your family... they all waddle!
- Alternate versionsDuring its syndicated run, the tag sequences that were included in the original ABC network versions were removed.

My favorite!!
Believe me, WHATS HAPPENING came out on a perfect time. There was'nt a better TV show to grow up on! Who could ever forget 1)Raj, the wise, bird-cracklin nerdish dude who could never sit in a chair the right way! 2) Rerun, the round, always-in-step party mover 3) Dwayne, the not so smart, heckling nervous breakdown "They cut off your fingers and your toes, man!" 4) And good ol' bratty sister Dee, who reminded you of everyone's sister!
WHATS HAPPENING is really missed by this commentator. Come on TVLAND, give us some RERUNs! RERUNs!
