Jawn Wise Starts great season 1 and season 2. Season 3 comes around and the family that is suppose to matter is pushed aside for Urkel to take over. As a child watching this show it was awesome. As a mature adult this show is stupid. The character development and involvement was terrible, all to allow some nerd to be the focus. I couldn't even finish season 3 on how stupid most episodes were. You begin an episode, by the middle nothing happens by the end you realize the show is over before anything even happens. Urkel killed this show.Feel bad that Judy didn't get any development.Laura was fine being a girl discovering herself, until Urkel became her only story line.Harriet by season 3 became the cliché loud, obnoxious black woman.Carl became the cliché stupid dad by season 3. In season 1 and 2 he was a very involved organized father.Grandma Winslow was great.I liked Rachael, Eddie and then Richie took Judy's role.

krswlkr56 In all honesty, the ABC / CBS television show "Family Matters" was and still is one of the best TV shows ever made! In all honesty, the characters seemed to mesh well with one another and it made you feel as though you were right at home with them experiencing the same issues they were as if you were a part of the Winslow family paying a visit to them every single week. You were there when Steve Urkel became Stefan Urkelle, when Steve's zany antics drove the Winslows crazy, or when Steve's family came by and visited him and also the Winslows. You saw the love between Laura and Steve become reality and you witnessed them falling for each other, thus revealing Laura loved Steve after all! To say this show is "excellent" is an understatement, but that's how high the IMDb will let us rate it. But, in actuality, it's "perfect". The show came at the right time and addressed many of issues such as race and it wasn't afraid to touch subjects like that and I have to admit it knocks the socks off of "Full House" and "Step by Step" hands down, done deal.

crash21 I honestly only liked the first few seasons of Family Matters. I think the name of this show ended up being a rather ironic name. Considering that the family was basically gone by the end, with Steve Urkel and other Jaleel White characters having taken over the show like a bad disease. Especially in the last season where they had lost the original lady playing Harriette Winslow (Jo Marie Payton) and Steve is the whole center to the show, with the ending acting like he had finally got Laura's love and even saved the world in his stupid trip up in the Space Shuttle.I never really understood why everybody seemed to like the Steve Urkel/Jaleel White characters so much more than everybody else, even his others like Myrtle Urkel which was just a cross-dressing character done by Jaleel White. I would assume that this was simply because the girls in the audience thought Jaleel White's characters were so attractive. My favorite characters in this show were actually Carl Winslow/Reginald VelJohnson and Mother Winslow/Rosetta LeNoire; those two played their characters so well, and had some of the best lines in the whole show. The Waldo and Weasel characters were rather amusing too.It's rather sad when you look at the show's poster, because it kind of symbolizes how the Family Matters show ended up in real life, Steve stands in front of the camera, with the family getting smaller and smaller in the background.
