I grew up watching this show. Interesting side note, the little girl that played "dee" is my age now, and is a Doctor of veterinary science!

An episode of What's Happening called Doobie or Not Doobie?
-The writers of the show must have assumed the young viewer did not know what the term doobie originally meant.

-The Doobie Brothers were the inspiration for guitarist Billy Zoom's style of playing live...
"I remember watching the Doobie Brothers on this Christmas rock concert. ..., the guitar player took this solo-wheedly-wheedly-wheedly-playing lots of notes and making all these faces and shaking his hair. And he wasn't even doing anything. There were a lot of notes, but it was a real easy riff, you know? .... So as a joke, I would play something difficult and just smile and not look at the guitar and act like it was nothing. ... In the beginning, most of the audience got it, but after a while, people looked at it and thought, 'Well, he isn't doing anything hard, or he wouldn't look like he was.'"
