- TriviaAlthough Steve Urkel's character was named after a producer's friend and only supposed to appear once, the audience's response was overwhelmingly positive that the producers decided to make Urkel a regular character. Urkel merchandise included a talking doll, trading cards, posters, books, lunch boxes, T-shirts, and a limited-edition cereal.
- GoofsGuests always walked out of the Winslow's front door and then to the left, but in the picture that is shown as the Winslows' home, there is no walkway to the left. There are a few stairs outside that lead up to the front door, but walking to the left after exiting through the front door would only lead into a wall.

Featured review
Good Family Television
Like it or not, "Family Matters" has placed a positive staple on American Television and has created some unforgettable moments that will be talked about from now until eternity. Part of the reason why "Family Matters" was a good show is not because of the topics that it covered during it's lengthy run on prime-time television but because it also was a perfect contrast to another popular African-American show known as "The Cosby Show." Even though the Cosby's were about a upper class African-American family, family matters was about a regular, average family who had average jobs and average lives.
"Family Matters" debuted at a good time in American Television. During this time, "The Cosby Show" was the king of all television and when that show ultimately ended, "Family Matters" began to pick up where "The Cosby Show" left off: that is presenting a good wholesome show that the whole family can watch.
Another part of the reason why this show was a big success, probably have already been mentioned, was because of Steve Urkel, the nerdy next door neighbor that always drove the Winslows' angry. I will go as far as to say that without the Urkel character, this show wouldn't had been as successful as it was.
In regards, "Family Matters" is a very good show. It's good to catch this show on syndication now so I could remember the good times of television.
