What's Happening!!: Dwayne's Dilemma

What's Happening!!: Dwayne's Dilemma
ABC
February 24, 1977
Sitcom
DVD
B-

This is the only WH script by Jerry Ross, who also did one each for That Girl and Welcome Back, Kotter.  (In scanning his IMDB credits, this seems to have been his pattern, although he did make it to eight for Sanford and Son.)  Dwayne's dilemma is whether to keep dating a girl he likes or stop because of her ex, Darryl (Bob Harcum, who would return in this role, although he's more recognizable as Murray on WBK).

Rose Fonseca, who previously was Gloria, is Angela here.  Bryan O'Dell returns as Marvin, this time eager to put gossip about Dwayne in the school newspaper.  (How often did these school newspapers come out on sitcoms?  The Buchanan Bugle seems to have a quick turn-around time, too.)
