What's happening? It's that What's Happening!! - which has been available (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/releaseinfo.cfm?ReleaseID=3017) from Time-Life since July, is coming to a store near you next February.

Columbia Tristar brings you the funny, funky late-'70s comedy classic featuring high-school pals Raj, Dwayne and Rerun, Raj's bratty little sister Dee, Shirley and Mama - who's always got the last word. You'll get the complete hip, hilarious first season - jam-packed with your favorite people and funniest moments in 21 great episodes.

Created by Eric Monte, based on his 1975 film Cooley High, this is the series that gave us Rerun, played by Fred Berry (who tragically passed away last month). This 3-Disc set will have a suggested list price of only $29.95, which is a great price for over 8 hours of programming. Look for this on February 3, 2004. Here's a bonus menu screen for you to enjoy:

I think this is just what they need to get the ball rolling on Season 1 sales. I mean, now that it will be coming to stores, I feel a bit more comfortable about seasons 2 and 3 eventually coming out.

I definitely think the lack of public awareness is why it seems the sales are so poor. I know I probably wouldn't have even known about if it weren't for me visiting this board.

I agree. I also didn't know about the What's Happening DVD until reading it here.
