TV show description:
Policeman Carl Winslow (Judyann Elder) and his wife Harriette (Jo Marie Payton, later Judyann Elder), the chief of security for the Chicago Chronicle, raise their family in a suburb of the windy city. Their children are Eddie (Darius McCrary), Laura (Kellie Shanygne Williams), and little Judy (Jaimee Foxworth).

Also living with the Winslows are Harriet’s widowed sister, Rachel Crawford (Telma Hopkins), her young son Richie (Bryton McClure), and Carl’s feisty mother, Estelle Winslow (Rosetta LeNoire). Their annoying next door neighbor is nerdy Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) who has a major crush on Laura. The Winslows find themselves in typical sitcom dilemmas, often due to the antics and inventions of Steve.

The sitcom is a spin-off of Perfect Strangers which featured Harriette (Payton) for two seasons.
