Fred Berry, from the 1970's sitcom "What's Happening!!". It dealt with the mischief of three African-American teens, Raj, Rerun, Dwayne, living in the Watts area of Los Angeles. Rerun was an overweight and cheery character who wore bright colors, was a great dancer, and was often self depricating: "I can't help it if I'm fat! It runs in my family.". Same genre as "Good Times".
