About

Show Description:

Family Matters is an American sitcom about a middle-class, African-American family living in Chicago. The series aired from September 22, 1989 to May 9, 1997 on ABC and, with a network change, moved to CBS on September 19, 1997 to July 17, 1998. ABC Family airs reruns weekdays from 7:00-8:00 a.m. and again from 1:00-2:00 p.m.

The show, a spinoff of Perfect Strangers, originally focused on the character of Perfect Strangers', Harriette Winslow, and her family: husband Carl Winslow, a police officer; rebellious son Eddie Winslow (so much so that he was grounded practically every other episode); smart daughter Laura Winslow; and youngest child Judy Winslow. They had opened their home to Harriette's sister Rachel Crawford and her son Richie Crawford after the death of Rachel's husband, as well as Carl's streetwise mother Estelle Winslow. The Winslows' nerdy next-door neighbor, Steve Urkel, was introduced midway through the first season and quickly became the focus of the show. It was part of ABC's TGIF from 1989 until 1996.
