Default The more entertaining ABC show: Welcome Back Kotter-1975 or What's Happening-1976?
I give the slight edge to WBK because of Dee on What's Happening. She was the ony character in my opinion that stopped WHat's Happening from being great show. On the flip side, WBK didn't have any preteen characters and that's why i choose WBK.

I love both, but I'll say WBK also. I thought WBK was good for its first three seasons, whereas I only like the first two of WH.

Nope, never watched it growing up, and never watched it in reruns, just didn't seem like it would be interesting to me

You're missing out. At least rent the first season dvd and see if it does anything for you. It's a funny show.

The first 2 seasons of Whats Happening were very good.

If your local video/dvd rental place doesn't have it, there are online sites like Netflix you could try.
