An American sitcom-by-numbers that's thought, by many, to be the nadir of commercial television. It was nearly cancelled early on, but was saved by the addition of a character named Urkel. The good news is: there's no more first-run episodes. The bad news: surely there will be a new hit sitcom that's worse. Kill your television.
- Eh, it was harmless; it was only on Friday nights to cater to the kiddies and their poor parents. Mike H 16:42, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)
- ¿African american? Is any of them born in africa?

- What' your point?? Ben Affleck is Irish American, yet he wasn't born in Ireland.

[edit] Laura's boyfriend Derek
I need help finding out info about one of Laura's old boyfriends, Derek. --User:Angie Y.
[edit] Harriette Winslow
I requested a citation for the portion of the article that says that actress Jo Marie Payton-Noble was not in the series finale as a NASA worker. I just saw the episode recently on ABC Family and it looks so much like her and imdb has her listed in the episode. [1] Jbm867 07:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Grandmama
Was Grandmama as Larry Johnson or their grandma? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.138.202 (talk • contribs)
- Larry Johnson. They're grandmother was Mother Winslow (Rosetta LeNoire). Chalkieperfect 03:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kimmy Gibbler
What is this supposed "speculation" about Kimmy Gibbler being invented as an analogue to Urkel. That is blatantly and demonstrably false, as Kimmy Gibbler existed from the first season of Full House onward. Family Matters didn't even premiere until TWO YEARS LATER, so it's inconceivable that Kimmy was invented based on his popularity. I'm deleting it. Chalkieperfect 03:38, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Eddie
I thought that it was Edward James Arthur Winslow, not Edward Arthur James Winslow. Emperor001 18:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
You are right. The proof comes from the episode in which Eddie and Steve are caught gambling.Dshibshm (talk) 22:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Talk page guidelines
Remember not to use the talk page as a general forum for discussion. It should be used only to discuss changes/improvements to the Family Matters article.
Since it takes up a large portion of the article, I am going to move the character list to a separate page. Citadel18080 03:49, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I've found the separate list for recurring characters. I'm going to see if I can't get that renamed or integrated into a more general character list. Citadel18080 03:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Goof Section
The only "goof" referenced is that Palm trees can't be in Chicago. Now, naturally, they would never survive with the cold and windy climate in Chicago, but a Palm tree can be stored in cold climate areas, with the use of a cover, etc.
I know this from first hand, a neighbor in my town in New Jersey owns a Palm tree, and keeps it under a cover during the cold seasons, such as winter and sometimes fall. The tree is fed with plant feeder and is normally watered.
[edit] ABC Family
How come the Deck the Malls episode didn't air on ABC Family? It went from Original Gangster Dawg to the Japanese one

[edit] Set In The Same TV Universe?
Can someone tell me how Family Matters and Boy Meets World are set in the same universe? I used to be a big fan of BMW, but I don't recall anything that would show the two are set in the same universe.--JustinMullins 02:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FamilyMatters.jpg
Image:FamilyMatters.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Not airing in ABC Family?
I've noticed that this show isn't airing in ABC family. Anyone else notice? 69.247.244.94 (talk) 13:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] In-universe information
Some of the infobox material - birthdate, age, nicknames, occupations - on the main characters' individual pages (Carl, Laura, etc.) should be removed, because it's in-universe information about fictional characters. Beemer69 00:29, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
