ABC Family skipped the 1990 Halloween episode "Dog Day Halloween" which comes right before the "Cousin Urkel" episode. It could be that it will air the next day which is Halloween Eve since Halloween is on Friday and Family Matters doesn't air...

[Brent88]

630pm ET-Whose Kid Is It Anyway?(Halloween 1992)

Deleting this one because if that change is correct, the listings I had are all wrong and since I can't get episode details for November 3rd through the 6th, I will wait on posting any episodes beyond the previous post.

Are they cutting out tags like they usually do?

The closing theme song is cut out, but there are no tags in the early episodes. In about Season 5, there will start to be tags during the closing credits.
