Starts great with 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 with a purpose 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.
Urkel saved this show ratings wise but he killed a show that could have been better than it was.
I respect how Urkle was a sensation in the 90s. However he is no Kramer (invasive neighbour). Kramer innovated himself after every season. Urkle was just purely toxic to the show.
Update 2022: Family Matters was my first IMDb review and it needed an update.
Family Matters was still a bad show. I watched bits of the finale and it was horrible. What I really wanted to point out is that they disrespected Jodie/Jamie. They just forget about her while they show became horribly successful. That's hurtful. I hate this show for that too.
Urkek ruined the show. He was fun as a side character but once the show became about him the show looked awfully bad and "hash". His Stephen persona was way better than his annoying over drawn Urkel character.
The sentimental endjng parts felt too hash sometimes.
Overall still an overrated show.
