What's Happening vs. What's Happening Now

[TJ]

For me, What's Happening was always one of my favorites. What's Happening Now seemed to be lacking something - what did you think of the new series?

Whats Happening is the best, Hands down !!
The spinoff was very weak and after Rerun quit the show it was over.

WH was much better! But I liked WHN though...

I liked both versions, but WH had more flavor.

WH was much better than the sequel. It was not the same without Mama and Dee. I loved WH and thought it should have run longer.

Actually,Dee appeared as an occasionl cast member. She was in college and appeared on the show the 3 seasons it was on. 1985-1988

I prefer What's Happening!!!!! The show was much better when they were younger.

While we all know Whats Happenin is far superior to Whats Happenin Now we must reflect on a truly great thing that came from Whats Happenin Now:Dee finally got to go on a date with Dwayne!!!!!!!

Ya'll remember Martin Lawrence used to be on What's Happening Now working in the restaurant? Anne Marie Johnson who was Roger's wife on What's Happening Now has also played on the tv show In The Heat Of The Night, the movies I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Hollywood Shuffle, Strictly Business with Halle Berry & she was on In Living Color for a minute after Damon Wayans, Tommy Davidson, Keenan Ivory Wayans left. She is so damn skinny. Does she ever eat?

Love that show What's Happening!!!!

What's Happening was better because the cast was younger and hipper at the time. I liked WH now, but it definitely lacked something. They just weren't funny in adult situations.
