Whatley - Happy Raine WCSC Channel-5 '95

From the production vault of Whatley, this was a display of the creative talents of Samuel Whatley working with children, on the once famous WCSC Channel 5 television show, Happy Raine. He was a guest on the show. We need more shows like this!

I absolutely loved this show when I was a little girl in North Charleston. My mom and dad was actually able to schedule an appearence for myself and a couple of friends for one of my birthdays. Any ideas on how to locate a copy of that episode? Unfortunately, I do not have the exact date (unless it was my b-day) or the episdoe number. Any help would be appreciated.

@gprats28 Sure. Channel5 has complete copies of all of their work (or at least should have). All you have to do is contact them and see if they can search their database to see if it can be located. Hope this helps.

I used to watch Happy Raine in the late 70's in SC. This is the show that introduced me to the Captain America, and Spiderman cartoons.

[ProfSamuel]

@marioTmaggot Yeah, she was fantastic. I remember those days, everyone watched the show. We need more shows like this.

Wow! I used to watch this show all the time when I was a kid. Brings back memories! Good low-cost kids' shows like this one from local TV stations have pretty much vanished. We do need more programs like this one!

[ProfSamuel]

@galoon So true! Local children were so excited (me included), You learn so many things, like morals, manners, simple-fun, good-whole some fun. Plus if you messed up when you are five-years old, your friends never let you forget about it rest of your life (is what happen to me).

I was just tell my youngest daughter about the Happy Rain show from back in my day. I actually got to be on the show when one of my little friends mommies had got her and all of us whatever was needed at the time to be on the show, so, we were on the show. Does that make me a star now? LMAO

I loved this show and her. Watching that takes me back 30 + years......wow!

Does anybody know the name or source of the Happy Raine Show theme song?

Thank you so much for posting this! I remember watching Happy Raine as a child, and often think about her and her show and wonder if she's still in the land of the living. I was talking with some friends about old TV shows that we missed, and I was surprised to find I was the only one who remembered Happy Raine! WCSC was one of 6 channels we could get when I was a youngster in the mid-1960's!

omgggg I was on this show with my sisters when I used to live in summerville!!! hahaha

Unfortunately, ProfSamuel, your statement about Channel 5 having tapes is incorrect. Rainey was interviewed by Bill Sharpe yesterday, September 27, 2010, and she explained that she was only given 60 minutes of tape that they were required to use over and over again, so every new show was taped over the last one. There is no historic record available from Channel 5, per Happy Raine herself.

It used to be ALL about Happy Raine and Utlraman when I was a child in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Imagine my horror when I returned to NYC to live in '73 and found that there was neither! I looked forward to it every summer when I used to visit in the summers.

I loved this show! Happy Raine was always in our Christmas parades in Summerville. She spoke to me once.
