Which episodes of Family Matters make you cry? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Are there any episodes of Family Matters that have brought tears to your eyes? There has been a few for me

The episode when Laura sells the quilt, there are a lot of tear jerking scenes in this one.

The episode when the kids bring home a dog and Carl takes a liking to him, then has to say goodbye, this part is very sad.

The episode when Laura wants to start a Black history class and Grandma Winslow tells her the story about when she was a little girl and wanted to get into the public Library.

Anyone else have one?

Beacause the sky is blue it makes me cry....!
Seriously, all the episodes you mentioned brought tears into my eyes, and some more:

"The Gun" in the 6th season - where Laura's friend is being shot.
"Finding the Words" - where Hariette & Rachel's father comes back. (season 2)
"I should Have done someting" - also in season 2.

The one episode which comes the closest to bringing tears to my eyes is the one in which Laura is accepted at a major university (Harvard IIRC), but the Winslows can't come up with the money for an Ivy League education. Laura offers to further her education closer to home.

The "Jimmy Baines" episode- Loved the ending

The Racism episode where Laura tried to get a black studies course in school- Grandma's story was a real tear jerker

The scene in the Disney World episode where Stefan drops Myra momentarily and she leaves in tears in teh arms of Winnie-the-Pooh

The Christmas episode where Laura sees first-hand what it is like to be Steve Urkel.

There are plenty others, but these are the ones that stand in my memory.

The one where the street gang trashed Rachel's Place, and also beat up Eddie. It also brings a tear to my eye when the show Eddie's face.

This one was a Christmas show. The one where Eddie accidentally threw Laura's favorite doll away and Steve spends the whole night out said in the freezing cold to find Laura's doll. That was very sweet of Steve.

One that always makes me cry no matter how many times I see it is the episode when Eddie Crashes the car through the livingroom. It's at the very end of the episode when Eddie and Steve go to play catch with the baseball mit Steve never used yet, and Steve throws the ball and breaks a lamp. Carl screams from out in the garage "WHAT HAPPENED!?!!!! and Eddie says "Sorry I broke a lamp dad" and Steve says "Hey you took the blame for me" and Eddie says "Wer'e buddies right?" and they hug.

There's another one I just thought of. The one when Steve gives Laura the $800 ring in season 2 when they are pretending to be married as a school assignment.
