Did you really feel that Rerun was the star? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I didn't. I never used to think of it. I watched the show because everyone was funny. To me, there was no breakout star. Granted Rerun can dance and move, but I don't think he was the one keeping that show afloat.

I remember reading about how him and raj wanted more money. Rerun thought he was the star.

I felt that he was the co-star and Raj was the star.

Yeah I never tuned in just to watch Rerun. OK who was smarter, JJ or Rerun, LOL.

After watching season 2, Rerun was definitely not the star. Raj in my opinion had most of the funny lines.

So Rerun was the Co-star right?

He was a co star along with Dwayne and Shirley.

No WAY...
May God forever keep and bless him, but NO, Rerun wasn't the star of either WH or, much less, WHN.
After the first couple of episodes within Season 1 of WH, he really rubbed against my last nerve overall...
And his pop-locking style of dance wasn't really anything to write home about, to be perfectly honest. It was pretty much the same darn thing, every time...
YAWN...

I always figured the three of them were the stars.

hatwink · 03-30-2006, 02:40 PM

Basically, he wasn't the sole star, but him, Raj, Dwayne, Shirley, and Dee.

Yeah, DEE...
Why NOT, now?
After all, it was a given fact that she delivered the most humorous and entertaining punchlines out of anyone on the show.
Shirley would come in at a very close second.

But certainly NOT RERUN. Sorry, but that's the way it is...

C'mon Solomon, you may not like Dwayne, but you know that this sitcom was about three black teens living in Watts.

And besides that, I know for a fact that the real Rerun (Fred Berry himself) was just as conceited and self-righteous all around. It sure didn't make him look any better, I'll tell you that!

The writers hit things dead on the nail's head when they came up with that character for WH.

THANK YOU! Rerun did stand like Cody on "Step By Step" But Cody was not the show. Rerun was not the show either, but was an icon of sorts. Ernest Thomas to me was the true star of the show.
