I can't find any promos for What's Happening Now!! on YouTube, which is usually surprisingly easy for syndicated sitcoms from the '80s. I did find this print ad online though:

WHN premiered on September 7, 1985 at least in New York on WNEW-TV Channel 5 Saturdays at 5:00PM followed by Small Wonder at 5:30PM.

I know I have my original recording from the same day Small Wonder premiered with commercials, I believe i recorded the entire premiere hour of WHN & Small Wonder with commercials on September 7, 1985 on WNEW-TV Channel 5 NY 5:00PM-6:00PM.

The original VHS is in the archives somewhere.

Hope that helps in your research
