...talent show I've ever seen. Raj and Dee couldn't sing at all. The only highlight was Dwayne playing the drums. What a horrible show. They were no Evanses that's for sure. lol

you know what is weird, since WH has started showing on TVland, I haven't seen the episode.

Yeah it's pretty bad but I think the episode where Rerun is day dreaming that he's different TV characters has to be the worst.

that's another episode i haven't seen either since TVLand started airing WH. Crazy huh??? I don't feel bad for missing these episodes. they are not that good.

That may be the worst episode of any hit sitcom I've ever seen.

....and Little Earl pretending to be Steve Martin? :(

Oh yeah, how could I forget about that? It was horrible.

not worst than the benefit show

I didn't who little earl was trying to imitate-lol

To me, that signaled that the writers were running out of ideas. Did you remember those crazy sets they used when they were spoofing other ABC shows? You have to realize also that 'The Benefit Show' was probably written as another filler episode as if the series was returning in the fall. What's Happening didn't employ two parters (except for the Dobbie Brothers episode) or continue storylines often.

Did you actually think they would use the REAL sets of those shows they were SPOOFING?-lol

They could've done a hell of a lot better then what they did.

I think the sets they used were fine. Remember it was just a SPOOF-lol

I think that they were horrible and they could have done better. They could have used Raj and Reruns apartment setting and just rearrange the furniture and add furniture.

Ironically, this plotline has been used in various variations in many shows including Whats Happening Now when the famous rap group they promised was a lie and they all had to get on stage and freestyle. Remember how What's Happening in season one made a reference to how shows engage in this because it works.

agreed

I agree. "The Benefit Show" was probably the worst episode of "What's Happening!!" Not only that, it was also the final episode of the series.

Yes they ran out of ideas at this point especially since they ripped up the house and found stolen money :lol:

Im going to rewatch this tonight

This episode was not that bad. the first half was in the soda shop and Roger and Dee performance was much better than Little earl

This is episode was a lot better than Dwayne Dream in season 3

Yeah I agree. Dwayne’s Dream was awful, I mean your going to quit school to work for minimum wage being a vendor!

And that stupid ass smile he had on his face:lol::lol:

Season 3 was awful. A lot of the episodes were terrible Dwayne's Dream, Dee the Cheerleader, The Last Page (parody of the ABC sitcoms), First Class Coach.

No more Mama

Raj and Rerun move into an apartment

Snake was a pointless character.

Danielle Spencer looks disinterested and her acting is painful to watch.

Little Earl = Cousin Oliver Syndrome and so annoying. His "crush" on Dee was cringy and felt forced.

Dont forget The Thomas Treasure. That is my favorite from season 3. Its so dumb that its fantastic ripping apart a house looking for money. Shirley had some fall out the chair funny lines in this episode. IMHO its the highlight of a dull season 3.

Yeah that was good too

I watched the Benefit show recently. Dee is not a great singer but she appears to be reading her lines of cue cards while singing. Next time you watch the show, check it out.

I wish they would have booooed Little Earl off the stage

Season 3 had some bad ones but seasons 1 & 2 had some klunkers too. Season 1. The maid did it. Raj goes begging for Mama's job after her employers fire her for theft with no proof. From here to maternity. Way too much time spent on a nonregular cast member. Season 2 Nothing Personnel. Company hires Shirley because she's black but they don't want her to work. That was a real fun episode. I didn't like Give me the Odds. Too much time spent on Ike and he was way too mean to Rerun. Bill gets Married. In his ex-wife's house. Never to be seen or heard from again. Diplomatic Immunity. Thirty five year old high school student. On Season three, agree The Last Page was the worst. All it was, was promotion for ABC's other shows. Poor Raj & Dwayne had to wear those ridiculous outfits. The benefit show was weird because they featured no other talent than their immediate group. I liked Dwayne on the Drums and Raj's solo but Raj should have practiced more.

And it was pathetic that she went back to work for them after accusing her of stealing. I would have rather been broken and looking.

I liked give me the odds because Im a sanford and son fan and loved rollo lol
