I love this show

"What's Happening Now!! is one of my favorite TV shows, with most of its original cast from the What's Happening!! show back in 1976-1979. What's Happining Now!! ran from September 7th, 1985 until September 3rd, 1988 for a total of Three seasons and 66 episodes (22 episodes for each season).



In this season Raj was newly married and trying to make it as a writer. Raj and Nadine, who were living in the house he had grown up in, took in a foster child named Caroline for a time. Rerun & Dwayne, now a used car salesman and a computer programmer, respectively, were sharing an apartment. Shirley and Raj were also partners running Rob's, and Dee (who only showed up occasionally) was in college.



The cast for this show were:

-Reina King..........Carolyn(1985-1986)

-Shirley Hemphill....Shirley Wilson

-Martin Lawrence.....Maurice Warfield(1987-1988)

-Ernest Thomas.......Roger"Raj"Thomas

-Anne-Marie Johnson..Nadine Hudson Thomas

-Ken Sagoes..........Darryl(1987-1988)

-Fred Berry..........Freddie"Rerun"Stubbs(1985-1986)

-Danielle Spencer....Dee Thomas



The first season consisted of 22 episodes and they are as follows:

01- Raj Returns

02- A Horse is Not a Home

03- Dwayne's Crush

04- The Houseguest

05- One Enchanted Evening

06- Aunt Shirley

07- The New Kid

08- The Bully

09- That Old Gang of Mine

10- Dueling Menus

11- Dee's Dilemma

12- Raj on the Run

13- The Challenge

14- Married or Not

15- The Improbable Dream

16- Rags to Riches

17- Goodbye, Mr. Ripps

18- Dee and Dwayne

19- Mr. First Nighter

20- Shirley's Pen Pal

21- Nadine's Boss

22- The Wedding



I hope that the following two seasons will be released shortly after this season.

Even better than whats happening

"I was afraid at first that that this show might have gone downhill after What's Happening but I think with the exception of a few scenes that it is even better than before. It's so funny and it's wonderful seeing them again.Rogers wife is a great addition. Can't wait for the second and third season."
So happy

"So happy that they decided to release "what's happening now!" I loved the original, but I loved the continuation as well! I too hope they release all three seasons of this series."
