Hey, Hey, Hey!

For some inexplicable reason, too many shows from the 1970s that were once cool have been resurrected and ineffectively remade in these modern times: Charlie's Angels, Starsky and Hutch, even Scooby-Doo have all been tampered with by the filthy hands of Hollywood. I'm not sure why Hollywood does this, because great television shows can rarely be updated and revised for the big screen. Perhaps, deep dow, we've lost the art of effectively manipulating a wah-wah pedal, and poaching from the '70s is the only way to reclaim the skill.

One show that has stayed pure through the years is 'What Happening.' I saw it in repeats in the 1980s, and it's been one of my favorite shows ever since, when I can find it.

Thanks to the phenom that is You Tube, I no longer have to scour Nick at Nite listing at 3:00 AM to see what's new with Riger, Re-Run and Dwayne. Thank you, technology.

P.S. This is one show that should never be sullied by a producer who is trying to make quick buck off the nostalgic tastes of hipsters. You've been warned.
