Rather loosely based on the somewhat more seriously minded 1975 film Cooley High, the television show What's Happening!! presented a family centric sitcom throughout it's run from 1976 to 1979. During it's tv tenure the What's Happening!! crew had more than a few memorable and funny adventures, such as the botched bootlegging escapades at a Doobie Brothers concert.
Presented below is a condensed episode, set during Christmastime. Raj and Rerun deal with the Grinch-like theft of not only their tv and stereo, but also all their Christmas presents!

I have a Henry Mancini tribute album with Rose McGowan on the cover & Ivy Rorshach performing Peter Gunn. But somehow they left off the What's Happening theme.
ReplyDeleteA sad oversight as it's one of my favorite tv themes and Henry Mancini numbers. I'd put it up there with the themes for Sanford and Son, Barney Miller or Hawaii 5-0.
ReplyDeleteI love that. I had never seen it before.
ReplyDeleteChristmas episodes of sitcoms can be a mixed bag, dig this show. Watched it a bunch. Cheers.
