Researcher was the one who said I was silly for asking if there was any news last week. I just saw the news this morning too.

I am very excited for this release. I have been waiting for this one for a while. I'm very happy they decided to release it.

Yeah this is good news but I just thought it was no chance since it was a syndicated show and not primetime. I thought this show had as much chance as coming out on DVD as Out of the Blue from 1979

What's Happening!! sold very well on DVD. It would make perfect sense for Sony to continue to release the show with the follow-up series.

Exactly! That's what I've been saying all along. I knew it was just a matter of time before they released the follow-up.

Thanks for posting the news Pav! I hope we make it to Season 2. That has the "Cabin Fever" episode on it where the girls go on a road trip. It's hysterical!

I saw the early DVD art work cover and Rerun takes up most of the space. It looks a tad bit scary for me. I know that Rerun was popular, but it was Raj that was the star of the show and he should not be placed in the background. It reminds me of the Sesame Steet song: "One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong".

Back to drawing board!

Robert 13 · 03-30-2007, 04:09 PM

Yeah, I kinda thought that too. Is Rerun in the second season eps at all? If not, I wonder how they are going to handle the coverart for the remaining seasons. It will probably just be Raj, Nadine, Dwayne & Shirley.

As for Season 1, it will be interesting to see what the final coverart looks like. I imagine we will see that next week along with the press release. I'm just excited that we're getting it on dvd. I hope they just go ahead and release the rest of the series so we will have the complete What's Happening series on dvd, with the exception of Shirley's show and the one-off episode of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour where some cast members guest-starred.

He was the star of what's Happening but not What's Happening Now-lol Yeah I'm surprised too

ThomasE · 03-31-2007, 01:26 AM

He was not the star to me on the original either. He was popular and could be considered representative icon, but Raj could too. This cover art is beyond ridiculous. It would be nice if Dee was added, but I am not worried about that too much. With this rough draft, you can only see 75% of Ann Marie Johnson's face. If I was five again, it would scare me to see this DVD artwork.

Pavan · 03-31-2007, 02:21 AM

Well, Fred Berry was just in this season, they are milking him all they can. Seasons 2 and 3 would not have him.

Believe me, Pav. That is exactly what I said when I saw that cover. This is a little ridiculous. Raj and Nadine should be in front, Dwayne to the left, RERUN in the middle Shirley to the right. These three should be behind Raj and Nadine.

Pavan · 03-31-2007, 10:17 AM

The artwork is not final. Announce date is Monday and it could change by then.
