I noticed that in Family Matters of course Steve always got the most applause everytime he entered the room. However the other main characters also got an applause when they entered the room at one time or another in the later seasons.

Carl
Harriette
Eddie
Laura - the episode where she read the letter she was accepted into Harvard.
Mother Winslow
Rachel (in the season 9 Christmas episode)
Richie (season 7 episode "A Ham Is Born")
Waldo
Maxine - one time when she walked in with Waldo
Stefan
Myra - I think at least one time
Mrtyle

The only characters who never got applauded when they entered the room was 3J and Judy. Even Judy a little when she came in as Diana Ross I think and was saying "I love you, I love you all"

I thought it was really strange when the audience applauded for Richie in that 1 eps, I mean they didn't even cheer for Laura in that eps when she walked in the room. :confused:

Mabye they were just happy because of the fact that Richie wasn't on much during that time, and they were happy to see him ;)

Didn't they take Bryton McClure's name out of the opening towards the end and just list him as a guest star whenever he appeared? If they did that's kind of cold because the guy that played 3J was listed in the openings of the episodes he was in.

During The last season he was just listed as a guest star.

Eps 18 was the first eps where Jaleel White got an applause just for walking on the set, he wasn't even a regular cast member yet.
