I must say I enjoyed the show. It is very predictable and has many clichés, but to me it just gives a sweet nostalgia of the past television. While I am happy with the shows we have now, the past is sometimes great to watch again, and Family Matters is a good choice. It is a good sweet show that could be enjoyed by adults and by kids. It is a typical family show where at the end the characters teach us a moral lesson with their incident. Some of them were not my taste, but for the most time I found it tolerable.
I know everyone says it became the "Urkel Show". But I just don't see it. I think people just associate it with the whole pop culture boom relating Urkel that happened in those days, I missed it, I didn't live in North America back then. But when it comes to the show, the rest of the characters still played an important role. Except for the ones who disappeared, which would be Judy, Rachel and Estelle. I didn't care much for the first two (and I wouldn't mind if Rachel would have taken her kid with her), but I do wish there would still be more Estelle. Loved her character. An older woman with more energy and adventure personality than anyone younger.
My favorite character was Carl. He did bug me a few times, mainly at the end, but for the most I loved him. I would also say that this is due to the fact that Reginald VelJohnson is a brilliant actor. I absolutely loved his comedic talent as well as his performance in serious moments. I really want to see more of him now.
Jaleel White was a good actor as well. Just seeing how he created that icon that Urkel was as well as him performing all the Urkel alter egos who were very diverse.
The rest of the actors did a good job as well. This also goes for the secondary characters such as Waldo or Carl's bosses.
I think the show slightly overran its time. I didn't mind the unrealistic plots with Steve's inventions as long as it was funny, but the problem is that I didn't find Stefan too funny and there was too much of him. Also the show started repeating similar plot lines, which was killing the fun.
I did like though how they wrapped it up. At first I wasn't sure I want Urkel end up with Laura. yes, one would want his character to get what he always wanted, but Laura always rejected who he is. But they made it well by making Laura accept his hobbies such as polka and even get fun with it herself.
