Color glossy 8" x 10" photo still from What's Happening!! (Bud Yorkin Productions, 1976-1979). Signed by Ernest Thomas, who played Roger 'Raj' Thomas, and Haywood Nelson, who played Dwayne Nelson. In fine condition.

Ernest Thomas (b. 1949) and Haywood Nelson (b. 1960) star in What's Happening!!, a show that follows the lives of three working-class African-American teens living in the Watts section of Los Angeles. The show stars Ernest Thomas as Roger "Rog" Thomas, Haywood Nelson as Dwayne Nelson, and Fred Berry as Freddy "Rerun" Stubbs. Unlike Good Times, a contemporary show that also had an African-American cast, What's Happening!! only rarely and mildly ventured into social commentary. Most episodes focused on the goals of teenage males: meeting girls, finding afterschool jobs, and planning for the future.
