The Show

Family Matters is an American sitcom which originated on ABC network from September 22, 1989 to May 9, 1997 and then aired on CBS network from September 19, 1997, to July 17, 1998. A spin-off of Perfect Strangers, the series revolves around the Winslow family, a middle-class African American family living in Chicago, Illinois. Midway through the first season, the show introduced the Winslows' nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel (played by Jaleel White), who quickly became its breakout character and eventually the show's main character.

Having run for nine seasons, Family Matters is the second longest-running U.S. sitcom with a predominantly African American cast behind The Jeffersons, which aired for 11 seasons. In terms of the number of episodes, Family Matters is ranked third after Tyler Perry's House of Payne (254) and The Jeffersons (253), with 215.

I liked the "Stevil" Halloween eps even though they weren't 80's.

**Melis** · 10-02-2019, 02:05 PM

I want to see them again.

Do you have them? I have those eps on Halloween tapes.

**Melis** · 10-03-2019, 06:03 PM

I don't have any tapes, but it'd be cool to have them. I have all the seasons on DVD.
