What's Happening!! - The Complete First Season (DVD, 2004, 3-Disc Set)

Supposedly based on the movie "Cooley High", although I don't quite see it, this show is a fgantastic trip back to an easier time. With all of the character of the 80's, from clothing trends and hair styles to 80's slang, this comedy shows the lighter side of growing up without wealth. Focusing on a single mother, her teenage son and her pre-teen daughter, witht the occasional visit from the divorced father, the show follows the family through both the happy and sad times. Focuising on life lessons and family values, it showed that you could survive harsh times with humor and love. I would recommend this show for both the comedic and moral values.
