Fred Berry, best known as “Rerun” from the TV sitcom What’s Happening!!, died yesterday at the age of 52 due to natural causes, according to the AP. Although What’s Happening!! and it’s spinoff/sequel What’s Happening Now! are some of the cheesiest shows ever, I can still laugh at the hijinks of Rerun, Raj, Dwayne, Shirley, Dee, and Mama. And of course, I remember Rerun’s trademark dance, which was spoofed very recently in an episode of Scrubs in which Berry himself appeared.
I’m getting a little depressed at the recent untimely deaths of some of the personalities I remember fondly from childhood. John Ritter’s sudden loss in particular still gets to me, but this is really sad as well…
