Poor Mrs. Thomas

Fred Berry, the actor that played Rerun in the 1970's sitcom What's Happenning, died in Alabama at the age of 52. One of my favorite TV skits always happened on this show. Raj, Rerun, and Dwayne would always try to garner sympathy from people by lying about Raj's mom being sick. They would tap each other as a prompt to say "Poor Mrs. Thomas," eventually even tapping their intended victim. My best friend and I decided years ago that if we ever started a band it would be called "Poor Mrs. Thomas" as a tribute to this show. Homie will be missed.

I couldn't get enough of that show. This is sad news indeed.
