Oh how we loved the shows and sitcoms of the 70's !!! Awesome entertainment, fabulous actors and actresses back when television was the best. RIP Shirley Hemphill, Mabel King and Fred "Rerun" Berry !!! Loved Mash too !!We need more shows like these today.
Even in this episode they were acting. You can tell there was some drama behind the scenes of the show and even their relationship with each other. Shirley was so real and honest on here.
We are a white family and we grew up with all these shows. What’s happening is my favorite old school show of all time. Best show of all time in my opinion. Love the cast. Great people.
that reunion with Jean and jenny was priceless. to see a contestant on his show making it big on her own. who knew. full circle. now the host is on her show.
When Shirley is speaking about the food in the show... I'm on a What's Happening!! RUclips marathon, and I noticed in season 1 she did take big bites of a hamburger or something, like she says at 5:22, but in season 2, you can see the difference after learning you're not supposed to do that!
Toward the end I remember someone saying they used to always get on her about not going to the doctor like she supposed to or take her meds. She sort of isolated herself toward the end
Shirley Hemphill had issues walking to her chair, nose had multiple surgeries, she was scratching her arms, & she died 2 years later. Hmmm?! Around this time, Jenny had more to be concerned about than SH laughing at her about The Match Game!
@16:27...lt amazes me to this day how these Hollywood celebrities (not all) are "penniless" after making so much money during the popular run of their TV shows. There are also those who die with empty bank accounts and the IRS seizes what's left over of their assets. Because they have fame and fortune, they either go into drugs, or are preyed upon by friends or family members.
@@bombyboo6335 l just read up on permanent nose damage, resulting from snorting cocaine. Seems you are right. It also results in breathing issues, which l hear immediately as Shirley is talking.
I'm not trying to be rude at all, just extremely curious... Does anyone know if something happened to Shirley to change her facial features or did she just age that way?? ❤️❤️
It's obvious Shirley was not well at this point as you can see her struggling to walk out to her seat. Her nose had flattened and this is just speculation, I have no proof, could have been years of coke use. This happened to comedian Arte Lange when his nose flattened out. The mid 80's during "Now" she looked great, dropped weight and Shirley looked wonderful but sad we lost her so young.
What's Happening was one of the funniest shows that made you think. Great actors. RIP to Shirley Hemphill, Mabel King, and Fred Berry.
Mabel King played Evilene on "The Wiz."

Loved the cast of What’s Happening. Had a huge crush on Dwayne. Ernest Thomas is an awesome actor!
Rest in heaven to my brother in law

They need to bring these types of shows back to TV
100% agree! The 70’s was the golden era of television.
Thank you for loading the entire show. i saw myself a few more times..wowww and it brought back memories. Thanks
Dwayne is so respectful. Even on here you can see how well-mannered he is ❤❤❤. Great parenting!!!!
Had the hugest crush on Haywood Nelson 😍🥰the only one who was a teenager and Danielle Spencer.
Jenny was a great comedian. She was also on Star Search. I loved her show and she was beautiful.
that reunion with Jean and jenny was priceless. to see a contestant on his show making it big on her own. who knew. full circle. now the host is on her show.
LOL the Montgomery Wards TV.

Memories of the 1970 miss them so much😝😂😂
No one checked on shirley before she passed she said she’s private but on here she says always contact and tell someone you love them
Toward the end I remember someone saying they used to always get on her about not going to the doctor like she supposed to or take her meds. She sort of isolated herself toward the end
Thank you very much for what you are doing!
I feel ancient! 😂
I love Dee, she made me laugh my ass off!

She had Kidney problem
She lost weight in the 80’s I guess she gained it all back

11:24 "Can i give you my number!?"
😬 😬 Cringe. 😂😂🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
*crickets* 🦗🦗🦗 😂😂 that laugh made everything worse! 😂😂😂
What year was this, anyone know? Love it! Shirley was an open book and I absolutely love it! No gatekeeping.
Miss her
Did Haywood quote L. Ron Hubbard? Shirley did say he hangs out with John. Travolta. Very interesting.
Meaning scientology as that's how him and many in hollyweird stay relevant
Loved What's Happening and its revival series in 85, What's Happening Now. Also loved Threes Company. Wasn't a big fan of M.A.S.H though.

Shirley Hemphill died one month afier Maybell King in 1999.
hey hey hey
Did they get royalties for their work on the show? To only have 3 seasons and have such a cult following, they should have been rollin in money!!
4 seasons
When was this filmed? I saw Shirley died in 1999
The other clip read two years before Shirley died so that would be 1997.
1998
Was that the TV and not a flat screen
Should have brought Mabel and fred oh ya i forgot poor mabel
I wonder what happened to Ms. Shirley's nose? May she rest in peace
Drugs 😢
@@bombyboo6335 l just read up on permanent nose damage, resulting from snorting cocaine. Seems you are right. It also results in breathing issues, which l hear immediately as Shirley is talking.
@@bombyboo6335 , No someone said she had a few surgeries on her nose.
There’s nothing wrong with her 👃 nose!
Sadly majority of hollyweird has an issue with substance abuse but hopefully that's not the case
Mark and Bill are in the same league as Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley...HIT game shows either network or syndication.
I’m surprised they didn’t mention Danielle’s car accident years ago.

26:59 Ultimate disrespect from that questioner to John Ritter.
Did Mabel really want crazy people calling her all day long? Giving out her number is weird.

She lost weight in 80’s probably gained it back in 90’s
She looks perfectly fine to me
