About:
What matters most? Family, of course! Over its nine hit seasons, Family Matters brings us a hilarious slice of middle-class Americana -- along with one of TV's wackiest characters, nerdy genius Steve Urkel. The extended Winslow family redefines the word "togetherness" as their home splits at the seams with chaos, confusion and laughter.

[@ConnorMiller417]

The irony is that Reginald Vel Johnson has no children in real life yet he was one of the greatest TV Dads. He was a father figure to so many 90’s children who didn’t have one. He showed what a great father and police officer is supposed to be. He taught us to be responsible, loving, and taught us the importance of using good judgment. Carl Winslow will always be a part of our childhoods. ❤

[@Outre7]

Super real talk..

6:38, the meeting of the two best black fathers on 90s television. Rob Paulsen told me that James Avery had a heart of gold. I always wished that I could have met him. R.I.P James Avery

[@JamesSmith-jq6om]

You know Rob Paulsen?

[@KRS2000]

@JamesSmith-jq6om Not personally. I met him at Comic Con about 6 months ago. We talked about the TMNT for a minute, but to cut the story short, I asked him what it was like working with James. He said James was one of the best people he ever had the honor of working with. He said he was a big guy. 6'3, 320 pounds, but just had an absolute heart of gold. He also said that during the filming of The Fresh Prince, in between takes, he would talk to the audience in his Shredder voice, and the people loved it.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

Reginald Vel Johnson and Jo Marie Peyton had amazing chemistry together as Carl and Harriet. Specifically, I always found their dynamic funny when Harriet would somehow make fun of him, usually something about his weight or eating, but then there was also a little bit of affection snuck in.

[@funwithanthony6133]

This show hits different without Jaleel and his antics

[@drewzuhosky6826]

Without Urkel, this show doesn't last. The very casting of Jaleel White saved the show from an early demise.

We need more TV dads like Carl Winslow and Uncle Phil than ever before!

[@2ndCitySES17]

The problem is, the media doesn’t want to allow for that anymore. They’re happier pushing stereotypes. They would never put a Carl Winslow, or a Uncle Phil back on TV. These were portrayals of success, in work and family. Overall, they were good men. That more than anything is sorely needed in this word. As Uncle Phil once said, “I didn’t know there was a penalty for success”.

[@mikej2133]

Funny you say that considering then "Dwight people" calls it child abuse. 🙄 Don't like our system, but then say "we need it more then ever before." whatever 😂😂

3:16 This is Paul Winfield in this scene. The first time I ever saw Darius McCrary (Eddie) in anything was in a 1987 movie called Big Shots. He was only 10 when they shot it. It was his first movie credit and he starred in that movie along side Paul Winfield who played a supporting role. I didn't remember this episode, but that's a cool reunion for them to have.

Carl Winslow was one of the greatest TV dads of my generation. It was also cool to see Reginald VelJohnson in those Progressive TV Dad commercials where he played a character simply known as TV Dad. I think there are too many good moments from Carl. These were just part of it.

[@jamesgarner8262]

Carl and Harriette Winslow ™️ are the 👍 greatest TV 📺 parents ever to grace the black sitcoms, period.

[@2005zhane]

7:05 -- The thing that I've always found crazy with this scene, is that when you think about it, Carl literally had two opportunities to arrest Eddie for under-aged drinking, and didn't do it. We could only imagine how doing so would have affect both Carl and Eddie, let alone the entire family. I can only imagine how cops handle it, in arresting their own kids, let alone a loved one, for the same thing.

Carl even cared for Urkel, who wasn’t even his son. I think that Steve pretty much occupied the Winslow home because his own home life was dreadful. His parents were probably rarely home, and when they were it was a roommates-who-despise-one-another like relationship for the three of them.
