What's Happening NOW!! ~Shirley, Raj and the gang are back! I love this show! I wish they would release Season 2 soon. The show is incomplete without the rest of this series as well. Would love to see Shirley's series ("One in a Million") released on dvd too.
love it 1980s baby i love this show first heard about it in the 1990s never knew that they did a newer version well it worked for three years why wasnt mabel king in the new one i gonna buy this dvd .
Don't waste your money!! In my opinion, the first two seasons of what's happening were absolutely great, the third season of what's happening was just plain boring. I think once, Mabel king left the show, it all went down hill. Now as far as what's happening now season 1.. it was snore fest city for me. I mean, I literally fell asleep and i could not keep my eyes open nor fix my mouth to laugh at any of my favorite characters. This was an absolute disapointment to my collection!!!
What's Happening Now I truly enjoyed the childhood memories. Laughed, enjoyed, and even shared it with my children.
Nostalgic purchase I used to love this show. The episodes are still funny to me and it has been a great blast from the past to watch.
