Naw, Solomon, I didn't know that. But I've seen him in Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, What's Happening, and Hill Street Blues too.

He was boring on the Jeffersons and Sanford and Son, but was a Riot on What's Happening. I can still remember his phrase

"When you want your fortune made, don't depend on luck, put your trust in Marty Slade and save yourself a buck"-then he snapped his fingers

LOL-that was his line from"Shirley's Cookies"

Yeah, that was funny too. the whole episode was funny. especially seeing Shirley's face. she kinda had that "duh" look going on.

Brieannas21 · 09-11-2005, 02:37 AM

I haven't seen "What's Happening" in soooooooo long. I can't wait until it starts on TV Land even though I know they will edited it. When I see it on TVLand then I might buy the DVD's.

Does anyone have the DVD's?

If you like Good Times you will like What's Happening. I think you should buy atleast season 1.

I use to watch What's Happening a long time a go but I can't remember any episodes since I haven't seen it so long, I might buy the season 1 DVD.
