No one really appreciates "What's Happening."
As a society, we totally lack appreciation for "What's Happening." What a great show that was. Who didn't learn an important lesson when Rerun got in trouble for bootlegging that Doobie Brothers concert at their high school?
Who wouldn't try to bootleg a Doobie Brothers concert at their high school? Don't even tell me that you wouldn't try it. For free tickets and $50 you would and you know it.
What about "The Love Boat?" You know that every week you were able to take a little vacation in 90 minutes or whatever it was. You know that you lived vicariously through the cast; Isaac, Doc, Gopher, Captain Steubing and your cruise director, Julie. "The Love Boat" jumped the shark when Ted McGinley showed up though. Funny, he did that to every show he was on, but I hated "Married with Children" anyhow. Funny, he was on "Happy Days" and that's where we get the term "jump the shark."
I don't know if it happend before or after Ted McGinley, but something tells me he is behind it all.
