In some markets, the show was perceived to appeal to both children and adults in a similar way to The Brady Bunch and Happy Days . The show was often aired in transitional hours where stations would go from cartoons to evening sitcoms . In a few markets the show actually had higher ratings in syndication than during the network run . With this success in mind, a revival of the show was produced entitled What's Happening Now!! It ran from 1985 to 1988 in first - run syndication . </P> <P> Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has released all three seasons of What's Happening!! </P>

Where is the cast of what's happening
