Mention "Family Matters" and there's a good chance anyone over 30 will get nostalgic about one particular Chicago family and its geeky, often annoying neighbor. (Meanwhile, anyone younger will probably be left wondering what on Earth a TGIF lineup (https://www.looper.com/308922/the-untold-truth-of-tgif/) is.) A spin-off from fellow ABC sitcom "Perfect Strangers," this nine-season Friday night staple was a golden child of the '80s and '90s. Much like its fellow TGIF mainstays "Full House," "Step By Step," and "Boy Meets World," it offered a reliable place to watch precocious kids come of age, with their loving families and wacky sidekicks helping them solve all their problems within 30 minutes each week.
"Family Matters" (https://www.looper.com/322194/the-most-memorable-moments-from-family-matters/) is undisputedly a culturally significant piece of sitcom history, and its cast was naturally catapulted to stardom. With the Winslow family's three children (or were there only two?), unexpected cultural phenomenon Steve Urkel, and standout supporting characters like Myra Monkhouse and Waldo Geraldo Faldo, the show offered a plethora of memorable faces. But what has the cast been doing recently, and what might those born post-1998 know them from?
