Assuming, they use Martin Lawrence (like another poster suggested) to sell season three, I wonder how they will sell season 2. We all know Rerun's departure took away many viewers and I for one, watched all three years on my WGN affilate. I hope we get all seasons and no Night Court drama (remaining seasons cancelled due to low sales)

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW!:
THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

22 Episodes of the Popular Syndicated Sitcom in a 3-Disc Set

ONLY AVAILABLE ON DVD JUNE 12


CULVER CITY, CALIF. (April 2, 2007) – The gang from What’s Happening! return after 7 years for more comic misadventures when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment debuts What’s Happening Now!: The Complete First Season on DVD June 12. The three-disc DVD features all 22 episodes starring Ernest Thomas as Raj, Fred Berry as Rerun, Haywood Nelson as Dwayne, Danielle Spencer as Dee, and Shirley Hemphill as Shirley, all reprising their roles from the earlier, original series. The DVD will be available for $29.95 SRP.

Loosely based on the 1975 film Cooley High, the urban sitcom What's Happening! debuted on ABC in 1976 and ran for three seasons. After its network cancellation, the series went into syndication in 1980 and became so popular that the series was resurrected as What’s Happening Now!

In the new series, which made its debut in first-run syndication on September 7, 1985 and ran for three seasons, all the major cast members from the original show are depicted seven years later. Since the end of the original series, Raj and his friends have grown and their lives have changed. Roger “Raj” Thomas is an aspiring writer married to Nadine (Anne-Marie Johnson), a social worker and civic organizer. They are foster parents to Carolyn (Reina King), who displays the sass of Raj’s younger sister Dee, who makes periodic visits home from college. Raj also purchased a half interest in his favorite high school hangout, Rob's Diner, which he now runs with feisty waitress Shirley. His dimwitted buddy Dwayne has become a computer programmer, Rerun is a used-car salesman and the two bachelors share an apartment.

What’s Happening Now!: The Complete First Season episodes include:

Raj Returns
A Horse Is Not a Home
The House Guest
One Enchanted Evening
Dueling Menus
Dwayne's Crush
The New Kid
The Bully
Dee's Dilemma
Aunt Shirley
Raj on the Run
That Old Gang of Mine
The Challenge
Rags to Riches
Married or Not
The Improbable Dream
Goodbye, Mr. Ripps
Dee and Dwayne
Nadine's Boss
Mr. First Nighter
Shirley's Pen Pal
The Wedding

DVD Special Features Include:
• Digitally Remastered Audio and Video
• Full-Screen Presentations
• Audio: English
• Bonus Previews
• Closed Captioned

Broadcast Year: 1985 - 1986

What’s Happening Now!: The Complete First Season has a run time of approximately 528 minutes and is not rated.
I wish they would have commentary or interviews with the suriving cast members. It would be nice to see and hear their thoughts on the series. At least we are getting the series on DVD! I'm excited!
