Dear God I miss the 70s & 80s what a great time to be alive
But the clothes though 😒
I wish I could relate and that was before my time, born in ‘84💪🏾
Writes the person commenting on his smart phone about a RUclips video.
Yeah..., thank your Aryan deity for the blaxploitation...
@@haywoodsmith2822
How is anything being exploited?
I too am a white guy who grew up watching reruns every afternoon and absolutely loved the show. I have them on DVD and still watch. The entire cast was great
I’m a white guy from the south who attended urban public schools and can relate to characters in this show along with Good Times because of my classmates in school 40 years ago.
I'm a white guy with a terrible sense of humor and a love of puns. So its like, YOU WERE WATCHING RERUNS OF RERUN! Am I right?! LMFAO!!!
What is the point of telling us that you're a white guy? I don't understand...
@@Kelvin-ml5mt this is the 2020s it is very important that you inform others of what race, sex, persuasion, or hair color you identify as so others can know if your opinion is valid or worth listening to. By my stating that i am white, gen z will know not to pay attention to anything I say.
@@MrLoretano77 I know you are joking, thanks for the laugh...🙂
Such a great actor underrated
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Get off the D
🙏🏾PRAYE✊🏽💪🏽
Marla Gibbs show was not called, TWO HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN. The show was called, TWO TWO SEVEN. It would help if these videos were done by REAL PEOPLE who actually know the actors they speak about.
I absolutely agree with this comment.
I bailed at 'Hey hey Hey' and 'nuh-ugh' around the 12 minute mark. At least watch the show or clips so you can nail the catchphrases.
I literally stopped watching at that point even though I gave a pass to the Hey Hey Hey and nuh ugh earlier. Totally disrespectful treatment to this iconic show. They obviously don't have Tyrone the intern as part of their team.
That annoyed me, too!
Yeah, You're Right. And she SCREAMED Dewayne's "HEY HEY HEY!!!...Dewayne Did Not Walk In The Door And "SCREAMED" HEY HEY HEY!!😅..She must be a Robot?!!😅😂😂
I absolutely ADORED this show. It's too bad nobody from that show became an A lister, because they all deserved to be. They were so very talented.
Lol..Ugh NO
When he asked Ernest his favorite episode, I knew it was the "Doobie Brothers"! The other memorable episode for me is when they were picketing the apartment and chanting over and over again, "No Roger, no Rerun, no rent"!
Yes sir!!!
I am a white guy who loved "What's Happening". I watched the reruns over and over, too.
"So"
@@trizzytron1059exactly so what!
The Narrator's "Hey, hey, hey" was too hilarious. Nothing like Haywood Nelson's version.
FARRRR FROM IT😂
I'm thinking it's A.I. due to how they said '227' as "TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN' Just a thought...
I love the story about how the producers were struggling for a theme song and on a whim, in a last ditch effort, decided to write Henry Mancini to see if he'd be interested in coming up with something. He probably saw it as a challenge and we got the amazing theme song to the show. Swinging for the fences with Mancini sure paid off.
His name is ERNEST LEE THOMAS, not Ernest Thomas Lee.
Makes it less credible when you can’t get the name right
The Episode where the late great Mel Stuart ("Henry Jefferson" from "All In The Family") played a cantankerous yet forthright Baseball Player and was met at every turn by the equally headstrong "Dee Thomas?" That was always my favorite. Especially the very poignant moment where "Dee" is told by the man's own Daughter that he just passed away. And "Dee" remarks that "You can't get hurt by sliding into a cloud."😭😇⚾️📺B.W.
A lot of these shows helped to raise me to be the person I am today by teaching you good family values I don't know what these shows are teaching the kids these days when I was growing up in the 80s all the shows was teaching positivity to the kids the rap music was positive at one time I remember when they never even cursed in the songs the music was more about partying and having fun then this gangster rap hit the air ways and it was all downhill from there so here we are today 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I was a white kid living in Brooklyn and always watched "What's Happening", "Fat Albert" and "Sanford and Son"😊
Eric monte was the writer of What's happening. That isnt talked about enough.
Facts .....
Without Eric Monte, Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin could not produce Good Times, Jeffersons, What's Happening or Sanford and Son..
@@hb120877💯👏🏽🙏🏽
Eric Monte blew most of money on drugs.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc It was his to blow true is he was supposed to be a billionaire like Norman🤬
Why they bleep out the conversation about substance abuse
OMG that irritated the hell out of me when they bleeped out the conversation on substance abuse. I was like….are these snowflakes too delicate to handle words on substance abuse? Geez!!!
"D-use"? lol We've entered into the ridiculous.
I grew up in Chicago watching Whats happening, Fat Albert, Sanford and son, The Jeffersons, Good Times & Different Strokes faithfully happy and proud to see people who look like me on Tv. And the reruns
That's wasn't Ernest Thomas in Roots. That was Louis Gossett Jr!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought I was tripping when I caught that.
I ran straight to the comments for confirmation that I wasn’t tripping.
@@Meka581 I’m like “well where is he, in the background? Because I know damn well that’s Lou Gossett Jr. right there.”
Earnest Thomas was in Roots, though. He was one of Kunta Kinte’s friends when they were still in Africa. They went through the manhood initiation together.
@@lisaspikes4291 I'm saying the scenes they showed were of Louis Gossett Jr
Thomas was my sister's teacher at MS Valley State University
The school Jerry Rice played for! Alright! 😀
The sitcom wasn't called "Two Hundred Twenty Seven." It' was called "Two Two Seven" sheesh..
AI is narrating
@@glenndoleberry8418I know now thanks
🤍 ppl I swear 😭😭😭🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
...and DeWayne's signature , "hey hey hey" was said ALL-wrong!
smh
@@jimy0803lol
Boy This Lady Narrator got me Dying trying to pronounce the saying from this Show!!
It's A I
Why in the world did you show a picture of Sidney Poitier because he was definitely not in the movie Malcolm X 😆
NO HE WAS IN THERE YOU JUST FORGOTTEN 😊🧐🤣🤣🤣
He was
Yeah as a sponsor at the end credits to finish making the movie for Spike Lee because Hollywood didn't want to fund the movie entirely; therefore a lot of celebrities came through for Spike Lee to support the movie. ✊🖤🤎👏
Yes he played Sydney. If you remember in the movie when Malcolm went to jail and he met Baines who mentored him and presented him to Elijah Mohammed. Sydney was Baines's son who warmed Malcolm about what the Nation Of Islam was doing because they didnt like what Malcolm was saying.
@@tonyolivo2997 that was not Sidney Poitier playing Baines son.
One of my favorite show
loved this show growing up (during the reruns) i remember seeing the re-boot “What’s Happening Now” i was too young to understand the gap in time (but, i loved the re-boot it’s bizarre a show that was so good was on so short! Ernest seems to be a genuinely good guy! the man could act he had a lot of pressure on him at such a young age
I know we all look alike but that was Louis Gossett Jr' and Levar Burton's pictures y'all were showing in Roots lol ( neither were Ernest Thomas)
The late Fred Berry's character name was pronounced, REE-RUN, not Rye Run. Smh.
Yall keep trying to correct a computer.... and yall know it's a computer voice....that's annoying as hell smh
@@Incredible_Geez And these companies don't have actual people or at least Black people who could do these videos? Why is it always white people and white computer voices trying to tell Black people's history?
No, some of them don’t know that
I watched this show everyday after school.
I met rerun when I was 11 years old he was cool this was 1991 but I didn't know who he was but people respected him.
I still watch What's Happening 😎
One of my favorite shows growing up we used to run to that TV.
Roger Thomas one of a kind LOL 😆!!!
Wow Eric Monte wrote himself on screen he wrote this show 😞😮smh
Roger Thomas couldn't dance to save his life.
No Rodger, No Re Run, No Rent!!!!!
Love raj, I love this show , we all watched this show in Detroit, I'm black and it was a great show
Did you know that the Black's that were brought over here on cargo slave ships are the real Biblical Isralites or Jews according to the Bible and historical documents and archeology
I remember the doobe brother one the most too
1 OF THE BESTEST SHOW'S EVER!!!! THANK YOU!!!!❤😂🙏👍
Why did they show a picture of Sidney Portier when talking about Sidney from Malcolm X?
Martin Lawrence was also in What’s Happening Now.
I forgot about that, but you're right
One of my most favorite Shows sorry Hollywood Gave you a Raw deal.
Dang you have to sensor the word drug? What is going on
In the what's happening show, that is the same house that they filmed Sanford and son.
Wow I never knew that thanks 👋
Both shows have the same producers in Bud Yorkin and Saul Turtletaub.
I Loved This Show!!!!
I still do. I never wanted to hang with JJ and the Evans, but I could see myself hanging with Roger Rerun and Duane and having a good time
Was raised non-black immigrant, the shows appeal crossed racial barriers. Their struggles were our struggles, their laughs were ours. Forever have a place in our hearts for their antics and the love of mama.
the AI is strong with this one
Ai is wack
This was an epic history in Black Culture. They were like royalty to us even though now we know they made pennies compared to the billions earned for the executives, off of Black talent.
Black talent? Is there a difference between exploiting Black talent and exploiting talent, in general? Is there a reason to make a racial distinction? If there isn't, you must reflect on your critical choices; It's destructive to the social fabric of America.
@@TudogsYes, there is.
Exploiting people of color happens far more frequently than it does to Aryans. Those Aryans who choose to resort to drugs and alcohol still have other options not afforded to people of color.
@@haywoodsmith2822 REALLY??? And what options would that be?
I'm waiting.....
@@Tudogsdon't hold your breath waiting on that answer.
Did they pay for all the people it took to produce, market and broadcast the show? No they didn't.
I tapped out when she said two hundred and twenty seven. Y’all let me know how the rest of the video went.
I used to watch this show as a kid! Duane was so cute!! 😍
You know he portrayed "Grady's grandson" on The Sanford and Son spinoff, "GRADY?"
JOE MORTON PORTRAYED THE FATHER!!!
Two Hundred and Twenty-Seven was the best show! I'll never forget when they moved to the East Side and finally gotta piece of the pie. 😑
They all went to school at room TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO 🤣🤣
Keep thinking Ernest would be a great Villain for a Black Panther sequel.
I don't know, he's just got that look even though he's never played sinister, he'd make a great Mugabe type dictator character in charge of some high tech African Mercenary group or something.😮😮😮😮
They said " two hundred twenty seven 😅😅
I love all of these guys and the show and I’m sure they made the elites much more money than they made themselves.All by design and systems fix that way.
Yes, Norman Lear cashed in $1 trillion off of these writers mike Evans is one Rodge is Eric Monte personal life they look just a like smh 😮
From what I research $1 trillion in assets smh
@@tinaanderson200 YES! It's totally plausible that a short- lived sitcom in the 70s and 80s grossed 1 trillion in earnings. That's literally more than the GDP of a majority of the nations on planet Earth. Can you please provide a link to your laughable source. I've done a Google search and simply cannot find your data.
@@Tudogs this is Norman Lears assets please go on google it's there ok I think he sold everything as well also his royalties.
@@Tudogsthat wasn't Lear's only show. Good Times, The Jeffersons, aka Pablo, Sanford and Son, One Day At A Time, Diff'Rent Strokes and a handful of others can add up to $T.
That dude created shows then sunk that money into executive production of others shows. And he made money from all of them.
Well made show and funny. Also had that starting theme song that I never got tired hearing. Hey Hey Hey....
Well. We know she knows nothing about these shows because of how she pronounces the shows 227 and what's happening and how she said Hey Hey Hey
It's a AI computer generated voice. They do that in text translation
That was not him in Roots! That was Levar Burton! 😅
In Roots, he shared a scene with Levar Burton.
Never saw Roots looks too boring.
I thought I had missed something!! very good!😅😂
I was going to watch this until I saw Thomas was being interviewed by Vlad...like why?
Can't stand him. Such a sheister! It seems like ALL he wants to do is interview us and stir up trouble.
I met Fred Berry just before his passing and first of all he was not a "break-dancer" bboy. He was a locker from the group called the lockers. Locking was the LA style of dance that was created in 1970 by the late Don Cambell Lock. Re-Run was a locker. Breaking stared several years later in New York in 1973 74. Y'all didn't do your research before doing these interviews. Shabba Doo another Locker and buddy of mine would of said this to y'all if you had the chance to interview him. Sadly he passed during the pandemic.
It is ashame Mabel king left the sitcom she was the glue on that show. The white men there didn't like to pay black actors. Black actors today know that already.
She had both her legs amputated & her arm is why she left the show
Yes she had diabetes
She did fine for a couple of years before the diabetes got her 1979 she was Steve Martin Navins mama in Carl Reiner's The jerk with Steve Martin.😂😂😂
Mon my siblings and I would watch this show after school with plenty of other after school specials. You kinda could tell it was coming to the end when they were hanging out in the dinner to much
i streamed the reboot and really enjoyed it but i was disappointed they never explained what happened to rerun. it was just the first year he was there and then he wasn't they did talk about him several times but never explained his absence.
In real life he wanted a bigger salary
@@daniellej7914Rerun got too big for his britches.
Such a charismatic man, thnx for this upload
Another AI robot documentary. "the show Two Hundred Twenty Seven" LOL
Two hundred twenty seven??? 😂
The show was called, "two, two, seven" missy!
"C, and M", "D use"
If there's one thing worse than robo-hosts, it's adults who censor themselves and speak like children. These aren't even profanities. Things have names, and it's okay to use them; Or are we all okay with RUclips dictating how we speak?
And as long as I'm complaining, Dwayne's catchphrase was, "Hey HEY hey!", not "Hey! Hey! Hey!" He wasn't a circus juggler.
ITS A COMPUTER NARRATOR PEOPLE......A COMPUTER.....USE YOUR F""N BRAIN....smh
Rerun's greeting was more nasally, and he went up a note on the middle "Hey!" 😊
Why did they bleep out details from his past addictions from the Vlad clips? Weird. "Rémy Martin" is far from a vulgarity or taboo. Anyway, glad to know that "Raj" is doing well nowadays!
They were sharp as a tac.
This was a great show….. used to watch it as a kid
In high school we had a friend who wore glasses and looked like Roger so we called him Roj and that was in the 90s.
They probably all have dark secrets. That was Fred's life. Please leave our wonderful, happy moments alone.❤❤
Dee real name Danielle Spencer was on What’s Happening Now for a handful of episodes even Bill Thomas made a appearance 😂
RE RUN Was a Professioal POPLOCK DANCER in real life and on the set he always dance to scenes contribute to the PFUNK Musics, as he would do his signature moves to those songs, so how or why did that show allow A damn "Hippie" rock group the Dobbie Brothers to perform instead of the Commodores or Earth Wind and Fire??
He was also a Soul Train regular before he became a sitcom star.
He was not a "POP LOCK DANCER." He was "Campbell Locker," more commonly referred to the dance simply known as "locking." Goggle the Pop Lock group "The Electric Boogaloos," observe their dance moves, and you'll see how different "pop locking" was from "locking." BIG difference between the two dance styles. BTW... Pop locking gained popularity as "Campbell" locking started to fade. Break dancing followed locking and pop locking shortly afterwards.
Don Campbell Lock Jones was a member of the POPLOCKER FAME Hip Hop dance group. They even appeared as guest dancers together on RE RUN'S (THE PENGUINE) show "What's Happening" along with its co founders 'Shabba Doo' Alfonso Quizinõs, so if anybody doubt my truth ya'll can GO2 HELL🔥🤬!!!
@@rahsaanthomas7030 He was never a Regular on Soul Train he was apart of the World Famous Hip Hop first THE POPLOCKERS and was invited to do a couple of routines along with the Campbellock Brothers which were the co founders along with Alfonso Quizinõs (SHABA DOO)
These tech-produced narrators are a real trip with their pronunciations and inability to with read the required nuances of a person who has actually watched this show.
Love that background music
I was thinking the same thing
Raj looks like Clayton Bigsby
Who is Clayton Bigsby?
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc the world's only black white supremacist.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Character on Dave Chappelle's show who was in the klan,but being blind,he didn't know he was black himself .
@@MichaelWHHappy New Year 🎉 Thank you for answering my question.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Your welcome 😁 I always thought he looked like Raj too
I had a crush on the actor that played Dwayne 🙂
another lazy AI channel
There using A.I to make easy money on youtube
"Not supposed to laugh?" Who said that? I never heard those rules. I'm calling that BS. What's Happening was great and one of my "go to" shows after school.
I was a teenager in the early 80s, I miss that decade, it was quick 😂😢
Damn the guy who played with Malik Yoba in New York Undercover (Michael DeLorenzo) is everywhere, I’m not that old, but he was in this sitcom too, and then a few years later he’s dancing with Michael Jackson!
3:23 best picture.
A = alcohol but you can say gambling Ridiculous and annoying as hell !!!!!!
Why you show the wrong photo of the characters anyway good informative video.
Shows from the 60s and 70s were the best. Shows now are dirty and don't teach much but self indulgence. Alot of the older Shows seem to have a moral message in them.
Shouldn’t have been canceled. This show had a few more good years to it, but the mother needed to come back or be replaced.
Are they confusing Ernest Thomas with LeVar Burton with that Roots role?
He was kuntas friend in the first episode
Why do they keep showing Lou Gossett, Jr. from Roots? That's not Ernest Lee Thomas! 😂
The Doobie Brothers episodes were my favorite ones ❤ but I liked the whole show. 🙂
I love What's Happening. E.L. T. didn't you act in an episode of the Heat of the Night?
Yes, he was reunited with Anne-Marie Johnson, who had played his wife, Nadine on What's Happening Now!
Rerun looks like Keenan Thompson in the thumbnail.
Dwyane didn't say Hey Hey Hey, Its Hay-Hay-Hay.
"You guys are to busy getting high to talk about Christ." An awesome line. 😊
White boy here loved that show
Very informative
SAY IT ! SAY IT !
SAY DRUG USE !
Hey Hey Hey!
Back in the 1970's a lot of kids had racist parents so they thought they were supposed to be racist too. Then fast forward to the early 90's everywhere you go everyone seemed to embrace the persona of being a person of color. Which had previously been shunned for years by most but not all people with lighter skin color. The music the slang and the attitudes have all become one big movement, so much so, that what used to separate us now, brings us all together. Shows like What's Happening , Good Times, The Jefferson's and Sanford warmed the soul. The beginning...
That was Lou Gosset Jr. in the Roots clip
That was not Thomas in roots. That was LeVar Burton! L O L unbelievable how you guys make these things that are supposed to be informative, but so often get facts wrong
He was a good role model to black and white alike, thank you sir
What song is this playing in the background
Ernest Thomas is not Levar Burton.🤔
I noticed that! That was Geordi Laforge!
Both were in Roots.
