S8 E8 Pilot Season "What's Happening!!"

Call me crazy, but this series was likeable as hell and enjoyed a shockingly successful life in syndication.  It gave us the big personalities of Fred "Rerun" Berry, Shirley Hemphill, and Danielle Spencer.  It also gave us the charisma blackholes that are Ernest Thomas and Haywood Nelson.  Never too broad, nor confrontational like a Norman Lear show, this fun little program lived somewhere in the middle.  Real, but not too real.  Urban, but not too urban.  And good, but not too good.  Enjoy the podcast!  Hey Hey Hey!!
