He was boring on the Jeffersons and Sanford and Son, but was a Riot on What's Happening. I can still remember his phrase

"When you want your fortune made, don't depend on luck, put your trust in Marty Slade and save yourself a buck"-then he snapped his fingers


LOL-that was his line from"Shirley's Cookies"

I haven't seen "What's Happening" in soooooooo long. I can't wait until it starts on TV Land even though I know they will edited it. When I see it on TVLand then I might buy the DVD's.

Does anyone have the DVD's?

If you like Good Times you will like What's Happening. I think you should buy atleast season 1.

I use to watch What's Happening a long time a go but I can't remember any episodes since I haven't seen it so long, I might buy the season 1 DVD.
