Family Matters (1989–1998)

My comment on Judy & Steve and the sitcom....
4 April 2007
Watching Family Matters through 1-4 seasons, I always wonder why Judy was never a hi-light to any episodes. It was very rare that she got into something like Laura, Eddie and even Richie. Example, the episode when Laura fell for this treatment that turned out to be a scam and had Harriette, Rachel and Estelle fall for it. And the treatment made them bald. Judy should of sneaked around and used some of the treatment and wined up being bald like them. And what was tacky bout the show, Judy got booted off with no explanation, and no one talked about her in the series like she never existed. Through 1-4 seasons, Cart & Harriette have three children. Then starting from the 5 season, they have two children out in the blues. The producers should had arranged episodes at the ending of the 4 season that Judy were going away to private school or something. Then in the last season, she returns. And the show should had a special ending. The 10 season shouldn't of never got canceled (thanks to CBS). And my question is, for a long time dealing with the character Steve Urkel, why JoMarie decided to leave sudden? I wasn't use to the Harriette #2, no offense toward Judyann Elder. The show wasn't all about Steve, but what the show would of been like without the character? And the other actors seem like they were getting the pleasure out of Steve. "Quote" Steve was like a loner, he really didn't had no family. The Winslows was like Steve second family. It would of been good that Rachel was officially back into the series with a steady boyfriend. The scenes that Carl & Harriette done, Rachel & her boyfriend could of performed those scenes instead. And the original Harriette were arranged to be away taking care of her father due to his illness (Harriette & Rachel father paid them a visit in one of the episodes in the 2 season). Then Harriette pays the household a visit in a few episodes and Carl be arranged to sometimes visit Harriette and spend the nights over. Just like what was though, they didn't had to arrange to have Harriette dying out or Carl & Hariette get a divorce. In both of those cases, the sitcom would of been a very sad ending.
