Should they have used a different name besides Happy Times?

I was told that this show was going to spoof Good Times in their latest episode.

The fictional show was called Happy Times, which sounds like Good Times. But the spoof was more like What's Happening! The little sister from Happy Times was exactly like Dee from What's Happening!

Maybe they should have used a name that sounds like What's Happening! Such as What's Going On!, How Is It Hanging!

What's Happening had an episode where they were talking about a show called "Happy Times." Not hard to tell how they came up with that title. Happy Days and Good Times were both in their prime back then.

What's Happening began in 1979 and Good Times ended in August 1979. Happy Days began in 1975.

Actually What's Happening began in 1976 and Happy Days began in 1974.
