Big Earl & Little Earl...BAD
Dee's hair...BAD
Stupid story lines... You know the answer to that
Even Bill (the dad) disappeared
Bad Writing

Dee being seen period made the show dull. The only characters that should have been seen is

Shirley
Raj
Dwayne
Rerun
Rob

I don't think the show went downhill. It is is direct relation to the characters..they were getting older. So, as the actors aged and matriculated through the educational system the writers incorporated that through the show. They may not have done the best job, but I love season 3, season 2 is awkward, but I truly love one and three. As for Mable, even though she was not seen much, we still need her, she was the anchor that brought reality into all characters.

In a show you need a balance...so that multiple storylines/reactions can be interpreted by the characters.

The show ran out gas when we were supposed to believe that somebody like Rerun secured a job with ABC Studios, and Dwayne wanted a lifetime career selling peanuts in the stadium.

I do think Rerun could have came out of that hat by season 3

They would've never taken Rerun out of that hat. That was probably his most popular trademark. He is probably buried in it....unless if it was sold awhile back on Ebay.

Don't think Mabel King leaving had anything to do with it.

Raj and his friend were the main focus.

BestTVever · 02-01-2021, 08:01 AM

The show jumped the shark when Mabel left. The show could have lasted longer with more Mabel. She grounded the show. It just got so stupid when Mabel left. Plus Dee was older and no longer a smart a**.
Big and little Earl were annoying and Raj should have never moved out. The only episode I really like on the 3rd season is "The Thomas Treasure" where they rip apart the house looking for money. Its so ridiculous that its like a train wreck, you cant help but to watch.

Little Earl was annoying like hell. Not only was his voice grating but I got sick of seeing him hit on Dee in every scene he was in. Looks like they was trying to create a kid version of Tom and Helen Willis. LOL. Season 3 of What’s Happening would’ve been so better without “Little Earl”.

Snake was the worst character of season 3

For me it’s a tie between him and Little Earl

I love the classic scene between shirley and big earl in his 1st ep

Earl......."do you know who I am?

Shirley...."No the question is do you know who I AM?
