Would you like geeky and goofy Steve Urkel to come to your house?
A ’90s sitcom, Family Matters began as a spin-off of ABC’s popular Perfect Strangers. The adventures of the Winslow family and one very nerdy neighbor lasted for eight seasons.
Carl Winslow (Reginald VelJohnson) is a Chicago policeman and his wife, Harriette (Jo Marie Payton, later Judyann Elder), is the chief of security for the Chicago Chronicle. Their children are Eddie (Darius McCrary), Laura (Kellie Shanygne Williams), and little Judy (Jaimee Foxworth). Also living with them are Harriet’s widowed sister (Telma Hopkins), her young son Richie (Bryton McClure), and Carl’s feisty mother, Estelle Winslow (Rosetta LeNoire).
In the beginning, stories were slated to center around the Winslow parents and kids. But, when Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) showed up, that all changed. The character became an overnight sensation and many of the stories ended up revolving around his misadventures.
The first season of Family Matters has just been released on DVD and the set includes all 22 episodes. You can purchase Family Matters: The Complete First Season for $24.98 from Amazon. You can also try to win a copy here.

Wonder who would win if Urkel and urkelbot faced off again? Let’s have a Dance off!
Days go by so i would love the 1st season of family matters on DVD!
So hard to believe Urkel was only supposed to have a one or two episode appearance and then became the show. Last time that happened, HAPPY DAYS with the Fonz I think.
Would love to revisit Urkel and The Winslows!
Oh, how I hate to like this show, but like everyone else, I watched it.
