View Full Version : A Family Matters reunion
Johnny be good! 09-23-2007, 03:22 PM They should make a reunion of this show, starring Carl & Harriet, their 4 children, in age order, Eddie, Laura, Judy, and 3J. It definately would not be a reunion without the ever hilarious Stephen "Steve" Urkel. Let me know what you all think.
PARKER MADISON 09-23-2007, 10:25 PM That would probably be cool, except they can't just bring Judy back out of nowhere.:lol:
Johnny be good! 09-29-2007, 05:54 PM With Reunions where the kids are all grown, anything can happen.
GARFIELDKOOL 09-29-2007, 09:25 PM It would be nice, but the show haven't really been off the air that much since it ended in 1998. We know where most of the main characters are today. Maybe another 10 years depending on the syndication and the whereabouts of the cast.
Johnny be good! 10-02-2007, 03:18 PM The Brady Bunch did their first reunion 3 years after the original ended.
Daffyfan2004 10-11-2007, 12:03 PM Well, Jaleel had stated that he wouldn't want to play Urkel again anytime soon. I guess if anything, he'd just have to show up as himself and show flashbacks of the series. Though it would be cool to have a reunion movie with everyone in character and a new plot and all.
Furienna 10-11-2007, 05:48 PM That's true. Jaleel doesn't do Steve Urkel anymore. :(
Scoobiedoo30 10-12-2007, 09:56 PM that would be great a reunion
Johnny be good! 01-01-2008, 09:31 AM A big reunion would be great. Starring, of course, our pal Steven Urkel aka Steve. Carl & Harriett Winslow and their 4 children, in order, Eddie, Laura, Judy, and 3J. The return of Waldo and Aunt Rachel with her son, Richie. With special guest appearances by Steve's mom and dad, who have returned from Russia to re-establish their relationship with Steve, and Harriett's father just dropping by. What a great reunion it would be.:)

One problem though. Grandma Winslow passed a few years ago.
eltonfan80 01-01-2008, 11:22 AM i like that idea
Lorimar Television 01-01-2008, 05:07 PM One problem though. Grandma Winslow passed a few years ago.
Well, they could recast her.
Furienna 01-01-2008, 09:32 PM No, they shouldn't. However, it could have been possible for them to have a reunion without Estelle.
GARFIELDKOOL 01-01-2008, 10:57 PM Well, they could recast her.
That would be disrespect to the character and Rosetta Lenoire.
Mr. Television 01-01-2008, 11:11 PM recasting barely works anyhow. Look at Judyann Elder , the 2nd Harriet.
Lorimar Television 01-02-2008, 07:15 PM I know, I was just saying. They'd probably say Estelle died.
Furienna 01-02-2008, 08:55 PM Or just not mention her at all, like if she had died years before and they didn't think much about her anymore. She wasn't an important character towards the end anwyay.
MrCleveland 01-18-2008, 10:40 AM One problem though. Grandma Winslow passed a few years ago.
Not to mention the person who played Myra died 10 years ago. But hey, Home Improvement had a 'Reunion' episode 5 years ago and because of the WGA Strike, maybe they should with the remaining cast.
I think that the Family Matters reunion would work best as a retrospective clip show and NOT a new movie because some actors have died or don't want to do their roles anymore. Like they did with "The Cosby Show" a few years back.
Johnny be good! 05-30-2008, 12:57 PM One problem though. Grandma Winslow passed a few years ago.
Oh. I'm sorry about that. But all in all, a reunion sounds great. And we never saw Harriett's parents. Now would be a great time to show them.
Furienna 05-30-2008, 03:20 PM There are two problems with that too.
1: We did see Harriet's and Rachel's father once. He had walked out of his family when his daughters were small.
2: Their mother was dead already when they met their father again.
Lorimar Television 05-30-2008, 05:06 PM There are two problems with that too.
1: We did see Harriet's and Rachel's father once. He had walked out of his family when his daughters were small.
2: Their mother was dead already when they met their father again.
Are you sure their mother was dead? Maybe they edited the line out?
Furienna 05-30-2008, 05:23 PM Well, that was the impression I got, anyway.
Lorimar Television 05-30-2008, 11:49 PM Well I haven't seen it in a while. Maybe you're right!
USATVFAN 06-02-2008, 09:44 AM I Heard that Jaleel Never want to do any kind of a Reuion and didn't really like playing Urkel.
Jessica 06-03-2008, 10:10 AM I Heard that Jaleel Never want to do any kind of a Reuion and didn't really like playing Urkel.
I've read that in an interview, but I sure hope he will change his mind. And he did like playing Steve Urkel, otherwise he wouldn't be in the show for 9 years. He says he loves the character, but don't want to play him, cause he played Steve for so long, maybe he get a little tired.
Furienna 06-03-2008, 10:55 AM Yeah, I think he should do a reunion thing too. I mean, after all these years, playing Steve for a short time can't be that bad, can it?
Jessica 06-04-2008, 01:53 PM No, it can't be that bad :)
Johnny be good! 08-20-2008, 10:47 AM No, they shouldn't. However, it could have been possible for them to have a reunion without Estelle.
I agree. They could bring back Waldo, Steve's mom and dad trying to re-establish a relationship with Steve, and Harriett's mom and dad. With a dedication to Grandma and Grandpa Winslow.:)
Furienna 08-20-2008, 11:22 AM Harriette's dad was only seen in one single episode, and her mum is dead. Carl's dad was dead in the show too, and now, tha actress playing his mother is dead too.
Lorimar Television 08-20-2008, 12:09 PM Harriette's dad was only seen in one single episode, and her mum is dead.
Are you sure her moms dead because Ive seen that ep with ther father a couple times and there was nothing to lead you to believe shes dead.
Furienna 08-20-2008, 12:24 PM I always thought she was dead. That was the impression, that I got from that one episode about their father. And also, why would the Winslows have her Christmas ornaments, unless she had died?
Jessica 08-20-2008, 12:47 PM Yeah, Carl talked about his dad in the show, but Hariette never talked about her mum, or dad, but he was shown in one episode, like you said.
Scoobiedoo30 08-20-2008, 01:00 PM what was the episode that Hariette dad was in.
Jessica 08-20-2008, 04:13 PM The episode is called "Finding The Words" and it was in season 2.
Lorimar Television 08-20-2008, 06:01 PM I always thought she was dead. That was the impression, that I got from that one episode about their father. And also, why would the Winslows have her Christmas ornaments, unless she had died?
Maybe she passed them down, or was too old to put up atree and decorate herself
Furienna 08-20-2008, 06:36 PM There's also the fact, that we never got to see her, which also suggests that she was dead.
Lorimar Television 08-21-2008, 04:56 PM Yeah, but we never saw 3 of Carls brothers either!
Furienna 08-21-2008, 07:16 PM Carl had three brothers, and we once saw one of them.
Jessica 08-21-2008, 09:07 PM We did???
Furienna 08-21-2008, 09:19 PM Yeah, I think it was in one of later seasons though.
Jessica 08-21-2008, 09:30 PM Oh, Ok.
Lorimar Television 08-21-2008, 11:14 PM Exactly we only saw one of them. And he has 4 brothers, 3 arent seen. But why does that mean Harriets mother is dead?
Furienna 08-22-2008, 12:44 AM I don't know. I just always thought she was dead.
Johnny be good! 08-28-2008, 04:21 PM But she might not be.
Johnny be good! 08-28-2008, 04:25 PM Harriette's dad was only seen in one single episode, and her mum is dead. Carl's dad was dead in the show too, and now, tha actress playing his mother is dead too.
A dedication to Carl's mom and dad would be nice.
Furienna 08-28-2008, 06:35 PM But she might not be.
Maybe not, even though I always assumed she was dead. But they hardly talked about her, so we don't know much about her anyway.
Johnny be good! 02-07-2010, 02:09 PM And now, I just found out the actor who played Harriette and Rachel's dad that one time is dead now, too. So, the reunion would be without any grandparents. It could be dedicated to all of them somehow though.
Furienna 02-07-2010, 03:36 PM At this point, I believe Carl and Harriette are the grandparents. ;)
Johnny be good! 10-18-2016, 10:47 AM At this point, I believe Carl and Harriette are the grandparents. ;)
Agreed. With Carl's parents and Harriette's parents gone, it's up to them to pick up the grandparent slack.
