Family Matters
Family Matters is an Emmy Award nominated American sitcom about a black middle-class family living in Chicago. The series, a spin-off of Perfect Strangers, is notable for the introduction of Steve Urkel, a nerdy character played by Jaleel White. Family Matters focused on Harriet Winslow (the elevator operator from the Chronicle) and her family of sorts. Carl Winslow, her husband, was a dutiful cop, and a gruff and lovable father to three kids: Eddie Winslow, the rebel son; Laura Winslow, the smart-alec daughter; and cute little Judy Winslow. Also in tow are Harriet's sister, Rachel Crawford and her little baby son Richie, and Carl's cool and streetwise mother, Estelle Winslow. Stars Reginald VelJohnson as Carl Winslow, Jo Marie Payton as Harriette Winslow, Darius McCrary as Eddie Winslow, Kellie Shanygne Williams as Laura Winslow, Rosetta LeNoire as Estelle Winslow, and others.
