POOR MRS. THOMAS . . . Fred "Rerun" Berry has passed away at the age of 52.
I don't know about you, but I can name my favorite "What's Happening!!" episodes off the top of my head: Rerun wants to dance with The Rockets, but they regard him as a big joke; Rerun is persuaded to bootleg a Doobie Brothers concert at his high school, only to learn a valuable lesson about intellectual property rights; and of course, the classic cry of urban activism, "No Roger No Rerun No Rent!".
Berry brought joy and charm to his work, and the man was a hell of a good dancer. More on his life here.
