What's Happening!!: Shirley's BoyfriendABC
September 28, 1978
Sitcom
DVD
B-
This is the first of three WH stories co-written by Tom Moore and Jeremy Stevens. While it gives Hemphill more emotions to play than usual, it does bug me that while Rerun has no problem finding dates, when Shirley finally finds a guy, Mr. Thomas's friend Ed Roberts (Ed Bernard, yes, another Danza name, this time for an actor who would soon appear on Mork & Mindy as Officer Boyd), he turns out to be a married liar. Couldn't she have found someone nice and had outside influences break it up, like usually happens for the guys?
Note that Roger and Rerun's apartment is much nicer than the dump they had in the spring. Maybe they were able to break the lease since Raj was under 18 at the time. This is the episode where Shirley moves into Raj's old room. And this would've been a good episode to have at least one of Raj's parents around.
