Don’t know if you’re still around or not Tia, but if you are, hopefully all is well with you. Especially with how things are going currently. Stay safe.
Family Matters was a great show with good family values!!!! This theme reminds me of a more simple time in my life. I remember growing up in fhe 90s and watching TGIF on Friday nights. Full House Step By Step Boy Meets World and many other great shows from the 90s were some of the best sitcoms of the times. I feel nostalgic when I hear this theme. I long for those special days on my life!!!
I use to love the ending to all the Family Mattters episodes I would watch the ending credits all the way till the last second, it was such a soothing sound. 90s good times!
Yet Family Matters would eventually quite using the ending theme. First in the fourth season partially, then in the seventh season entirely. They would instead use bonus scenes in the closing credits.
I have some vague, and faint, memories of being a toddler in 1995/96 and watching Family Matters in syndication on cable TV with my family, especially during the evening hours, and hearing this end theme play, especially the version 0:39 to 1:19 with Reginald VelJohnson's narration. It is forever etched in my memory...and for that I am eternally grateful! Those were simpler time I wish we ALL could re-live over and over again.
oh yeah. Tuning in to the family matters theme song, running around like a chicken with its head cut off during the rest of the show, and only settling down long enough to hear the end credit team. That was my childhood.
I alwayz loved Family Matters beginning and ending them song it still is such a soothing sound to hear. I jus hate the way the show ended; Family Matters is the second longest-running U.S. sitcom with a predominantly African American cast and it deserved a tenth and final season in which Laura and Steve finally get married that would have been a great ending to a long journey. I had the biggest crush on Laura I watched her grow from a smart, cute lil girl to an goal oriented, mature, sexy young woman, Steve was hilarious till the end, Eddie was Mr. suave smooth but he was alwayz into somethin, Rachel who was a loving mother & Maxine who was a good friend to Laura were both hopless romantics who was beautiful at the sametime, Myra was lovestruck crazy, Waldo was the resident idiot, but he was a good friend to Eddie. I never really got to know Judy because she disappeared so sudden and her departure was never explained, Richie was a smart, cunning kid, mother Winslow remided me of my own loving grandmother and Carl and Hariette were both working class loving parents that instilled the best of themselves into their children and it clearly showed throughout the 9 year run of this series. There never will be another show like it.
It's crazy the memories these old themes bring back. I looked this up because I ended up finding Facebook pages that have tons of full Family Matters episodes however the end themes are cut out. You didn't get a chance to hear the end themes often because most episodes either had a closing credits scene or bloopers during the credits. Been awhile since I heard any of these three
The shot focuses on 1516W Wrightwood, 60614 When the helicopter did the fly-over from Wrightwood Park, we were sitting on the porch at 1620W Wrightwood on the corner Bungalow stairs which they cropped out. I used to live a block east back then.
The original ending theme song is my style but I still gotta give props to the later ones for sounding fresh and 90s still. Gotta give props to Jesse Frederick - this guy wrote a lot of our favorite TGI Friday show jingles!!
really brings back old memories, i love this show, it changed a lot over the years, but there's a certain innocence about that 1st theme music that i like :)
Out of all these versions, I think the themes from seasons 1-4 are the absolute best. Also, I think the Voiceover in the end logos really spices the credits up in the end.

I really, really enjoyed watching Family Matters a while back! It brings joyous memories of my childhood..especially those TGIF years. Looking back at this nostalgia makes me feel old...even though I’m not that old. Like where does the time go! Anyway, it’s such a good feeling to reminisce all those good moments in watching those sitcoms
I remember there was one that literally scared me the most because it was the first time I've seen, and it was the one that they had dedicated a episode to someone's memory, after Carl mentioned Family Matters is a Miller Boyett Productions, and there was a break gap, and they had fade to black, and then he finished saying The Warner Bros. Television.
We watched this as a family on TGIF, which I don’t really remember cause I was only 3 and 4 years old. But then in the early 2000s, my siblings and I used to watch, which I remember a lot more!
Family Matters is one of my favorite shows. It became a television series in 1989(3 years before I was born). It had its last season in 1998(not long before my sixth birthday). This is why it was part of my early childhood.
The smaller they appeared from the window and how small that house got use to make me sad as a kid It felt sorta like when all your siblings or cuzzins when to six flags and you was left behind because of punishment
1991- 1993 of seasons 3-4: "Bickley- Warren Productions" print seen before the announcer Reginald VelJohnson says: Family Matters is a *Miller- Boyett* production in association with *Lorimar Television* , and is distributed by *Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution* .
The last one kinda sucks. The first was the one I loved most, without the voiceover. It brings back memories, watching TV on cold winter Friday nights in Brooklyn, NYC when I was in high school.
+Marcus Pendergraft He was only supposed to be in the show one time. In the first half of the first season Steve wasn't there, they brought him in as a guest star and became a huge hit so they added him in as a regular.
I don't know if she was originally written in as a regular on the show or not, but the Kimmy Gibbler character from Full House is similar to Steve Urkel
I always liked how funky, and pretty the song sounds. At first it's very funky, before suddenly becoming heartwarming right at the end. The later ending theme isn't as good, but is still nice to listen to, as well. Kinda wish the show got one more final season at least, so we could see how things turned out with Steve and Lara.
thet first season closing theme is just so much win. Miss the days where TV had themed opens and closing credits without promos, if any at all. Probably why I dont watch TV any more.
Yeah while there's some good episodes in the last two seasons it did become too over the top and also just the Steve and Laura romance show as characters like Richie, Waldo, Maxine and Mother Winslow just vanished like Judy did early on (Maxine actually outlasted a lot of the main cast despite never being an official cast member and just a recurring character). Carl, Eddie and Laura are the only ones to be main cast members the whole series. Well Harriet too I guess even though they changed her for the last five or six episodes I did like the story with Carl conflicted with Eddie trying to be a cop towards the end. Steve was also his most entertaining when kept away from Laura and paired with the other characters
