I never really ****ed with Family Matters like that. It's like I grew out of it and Urkel and the show being revolved around him stopped being funny. So when people say it's a top black comedy, I can't really see it. I can't watch that show now. I can watch Cosby Show, Different World, Martin, Fresh Prince, Jeffersons, Sanford & Son.
It doesn't surprise me it had no black writers. You could have replaced the cast with white people and it would have been the same. I don't ever remember it dealing with race.
The show was supposed to be in Chicago? I always find it weird how these shows are in cities, but never actually represent the actual cities.
Norm Lear has some of my favorite shows of all time.
People like the nostalgia of it. And it was family friendly, in that TGI Fridays lineup. All the Black families really just gathered to watch that together. Parents/kids/extended etc. At least that’s what me and mine did then. Wasn’t to many options on tv. And not too much representation in that lane then. But yeah, you could tell the writing didn’t have black input.
