Almost always the trio's schemes wind up getting them into trouble and it is up to Roger's mother to get them out of it. Also, half of the time, the boys get into trouble because of Roger's bratty sister Dee.

Series Fun Facts
- According to writer Eric Monte, ABC had originally planned to do a TV version of Cooley High. After a poorly received pilot, ABC retooled it completely; "What's Happening!!" was the result.
- Even though the show ranked 29th in the 1978-1979 season, ABC canceled it because Fred Berry had persuaded Ernest Thomas and Haywood Nelson to join him in demanding a salary increase.
- Fred Berry had his middle name legally changed to "Rerun."
