...for this Saturday night on Antenna TV, which will be playing two very special episodes of What's Happening!!: "Doobie or Not Doobie?" They are the two best episodes of the series (which had a memorable three-year run) and they feature, of course, the Michael McDonald-helmed Doobie Brothers.

We updated the script in 1992 for a college-wide contest (we had Nirvana, rather than the Doobies, guest-starring) but we never entered the contest due to . . . ethical issues.

Seriously. I will be watching. I love What's Happening! and I have no idea why.

I hear ya....

And honestly this might be my favorite episode.

I saw that episode when it was originally aired. I was a child and had no idea who the Doobie Brothers were or why it was such a big deal for Re Run to be taping them. The complexity of the story line was too sophisticated. I have no idea why that episode sticks in my mind but it does feature some sweet moves by Re Run

I remember seeing this when I was very young, I watched the show and even at that young age I knew the doobie brothers sucked.

Same thing...though I had heard of the Doobies from my (significantly older) brothers and sisters...the Doobies were pretty good until Michael McDonald turned them into yacht rockers.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

I enjoyed Michael McDonald as camp counselor on Conan... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6hclTqXvBw

I have that show's theme song imbedded in my head for life.

I shared a doobie with a Doobie Brother at a Supertramp show.

Never heard of them. Probably suck like 312 said.
