'Family Matters' Reunion ft. Reginald VelJohnson, Jaleel White & More | PEOPLE 

@nemo pouncey especially cartoons

Ppp0

Exactly! Where are the shows promoting morals & values & family!

ikr

I really love that show some shows now are okay but you have to really pick and choose what you have to see for your young people

Agree. I grieved when she passed. Felt like losing a family member. She had most beautiful smile.

U r rite.

They don't talk about the other daughter as well cause she ended up in the adult film industry. Honestly as good as the show was she never really had a stand out episode

Moira was a darn good fit for Steve/stephan she was the first cute nerdy girl I liked lol

Yeah I’m halfway thru but I don’t think they’re gonna talk about Gwendolyn either .... had a huge crush at that time☺️

Def agree with you 100% I grew up on this as well

There will be nothing like that time. love this show💓

amen brother

Me as well! Still my favorite TV show.

Big facts

He also was the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog too.

I'll tell u who else was talented, the girl who played Myra. That was good acting. Sadly she died in 98

Well , Bill's available .

Blackish 🤣

If they do decide to do a continuation of the show like *That's 70's show* I fully guarantee we will see an emphasis on showing the feminization of the black male image. They will either have Waldo, Eddie, Ritchie(in the lead to be it) and Steve be gay with a white or Asian husband/wife. I'm leaning towards it being a Asian man because it's a PR stunt to make Asians look like the good guys when in reality they are planning to invade the U.S. by taking our guns away and shrink our military forces then EMP. Smh and the writers are Jewish women and men or black woman who may be gay herself. Peep game.

Yes

This show was great because it was a show that EVERYONE could relate to... It wasn't specific to a certain audience.

Yes! The intact Evans family from Good Times and the intact and wealthy Jeffersons walked so that these shows could run 🙏🏼 Esther Rolle, who played Florida on Good Times, insisted if the show was to happen, the family HAD to have a present father, because she was fed up of seeing Black families only ever being portrayed as broken/single-parented.

TGIF!!! Miss my child hood.

I miss these days so much!

I miss those days

1

As a Science Fair and Number sense champion Steven Urkel meant a lot to me. I was a weirdo that was teased daily in elementary school.

Sad that he was an asshole and bullied Judy. Made her life on set a living hell

Also want to add that show “in the house” was also a good show for blacks and the youth because it showed a football player changing his way of life, they had the two homegirls that were in college and their man friend that they all kept a great connection of friendship, no friendzones or any of that

@@drewnoword5391 I always felt like in the house was more geared towards the boys.. it wasn’t really something the whole family could enjoy together.. it wasn’t on the same level as the shows that were in the TGIF lineup. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@@jaslenelove7008 I never knew that but I could see him doing that. He seemed a bit full of himself during the interview as well.

AMENNN ❤❤❤

I never missed an episode. I knew the times and everything. Just like all other shows. Bill Nye, Family Matters, Full House. Yes

TGIF BOO😂😂❤❤​@@karlaknapper7616

And it was a good, wholesome show.

Big facts

Well said I’m with u 💯💯

RIGHT?!? Full House, Step By Step, Family Matters...and Mr Cooper or Baby Talk or whatever else. Just loved having that with my sisters.

YES! Couldn't wait.

facts every friday

Yess, same.

💯TGIF was a mood

Perfect Strangers, Full House, Family Matters, Step By Step.

Facts!!!!

@@Chastidee what was your favorite 90's show

Same. It's even 4 am, lol.

1am but ditto

It's almost midnight and I am in tears and you said it! I grew up with Steve and Laura and this show brings it all back. A legendary show in itself.

Me 2🤣🤣😂😂

I agree 💯

33:07 😢😢😢😢

Yess i was thinking the same thing. Family matters, fresh price, martin, living single.. some of the best!.

Born in 1996 and said the same thing.

They need to create a streaming service dedicated to only 90s shows

@@sparklingenergyalchemy agreed

no doubt ! 70s, 80s, and 90s had some of the best sitcoms!

Not a remake. An original series.

People that make shows are puppets of satan

This shows purpose was to trick people into thinking the obvious

they can - just show them the OG and don't let them watch the garbage nowadays. That's what i do

Modern family is much closer to modern families

I was thinking the exact same thing.

da good ol days🥲🥲🥲

Sooo true!!

If you watch tvones "Uncensored" with Jaleel he speaks about Michelle and her passing

Totally agree!

Black don't crack

Look at Harriet!!! Looks just as good as her own show kids

agreed!

Yeah, she looks the same.

Not Laura

Eddie looks so good now!

Their, not they're

Facts very awesome show😊

*ABC

We Need a reboot of this show! I miss this show

Jo and jaleel didn't like each other during the ahow

Yes they have amazing chemistry!

@@StonerKitchen really? I didn’t know that

💯

Miss these family friendly shows.

Great show !

Wo that's cool wat year?

Reginald said in an interview that he doesn't have any children of his own

What family tho he had no children so ill take things that never happened for 2000$

Unless he has necessary or nephews or went with immediate family

Except he never married or had any kids, so what family

And Michelle Thomas who played Steve’s girlfriend Myra Monkhouse. She died a few months after the last episode aired on December 23rd,1998 at the age of 30.

And...Jaimee Foxworth, who started with the show as the little sister.

no han hablado de ella en ningún momento@@narvelancoleman8597

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Aweeee, what a nice tribute. I'm glad you made it through that difficult period in your life and I hope someone from the show will read your comment. People need to know that they made a positive difference in someone's life.

How can you get ptsd when your parents split? Makes no sense. You need to stop playing the victim role and just get over it. Tough love but love nonetheless

I can relate to you, I was also going though some crazy things as 13 year old, but when I turned the TV on and watched this show I forgot all about my problems .

@@stocktonca6586 Just because you're emotionless and have no feelings, doesn't mean everyone is like you. I can't figure out how what he said bothered you, if you can't relate then move on. He said his parent's divorce interfered with his mental health and this show helped. What I can't figure out is how is his testimony a problem for you?! Why would you care either way if you can't relate? Move on troll.

@@AveIvy you can't get ptsd from your parents getting a divorce unless your one of your parents been physically beating on you

Me too. I can't wait until they stream Proud family. She is very talented

Yes she seems so sweet and wonderful. I like her.

Oh really? Good for him!

I look at Devon and I'm like I can't believe that's little Richie lol.. cause I don't feel that old but when I look at him, I'm like damn that was a long time ago he was a toddler

That's where I know him from, thank you 👏🤦‍♀️

I just commented similar to this! It’s very true.

Wow I just noticed … all the have is Bag Girls Club Love & Hiphop and Heavily Influenced & Suggestive shows they don’t have anything Just Wholesome & Loving … knowing how Tv influence people minds no wonder they are the way they are jow

Mine do!!! They lce fmaiky matters!! I wish these shows were more oromited now too!! 🤣My daughter was surprised the other day when I told I her I already saw that episode, she said how? I said bc I'm 33!! 🤣 She was talking about Moesha!!!

You’re right but we can still improvise thanks to the Internet. My hubby and I have shown our kids shows such as My Wife And Kids as well as Sister Sister, they watched every season. These shows can be found on RU-vid or cable.

😂😂

Please put a capital B for Black American culture. :)

​@@blackamericanlesbianprofes4357 Yep, I always make sure to put a capital "B" when I mention Black us. .

I'm white and I can't even relate to any of the white people on tv anymore.

They brought back shows like this no one supports them anymore

@@lacrondracooper9472 What show was that? I like to stream so it would give me something to watch.

@nemo pouncey who was Richie? Or Gwendeyn. Was she the aunt?

@nemo pouncey Sadly she’s no longer with us either.

Awwwwwww myra

@@dinky101 Richie aka Little Richie is that fine light skinned one sitting right there by Harriett in a blue suit. Gwendolyn was a little girl from the show. They were both little kids on the show. But she passed a couple years ago from drowning or something like that. I think she was a big star on glee or something so u may know her from there

@nemo pouncey Judy turned into a pornstar and disappeared off into the streets. 3J aka Orlando brown has a drug addiction and has been struggling....he wasn't a main cast member anyways so that's prolly y he wasn't there. Judy was barely even a main character and she was one of the siblings

Way better than the Cosby show

Don’t make shows like this anymore , and that’s so sad !

I started watching this year and I loved the show! Already season 5😂watching very night

@@debrasloan5541 I wouldn’t say better than the Crosby show but just as good. Both shows had the same family feeling. That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to that but why do the two shows have to be compared, they both bought their own uniqueness to tv show about black families. They were in no competition with each other

Wow, we’re doing the same and it’s such a great time!

One of my favorites! ❤❤

Awesome!💖⭐💖⭐

The marathon has been on Sundays lately on TV One

"even as a non African American" - the fact that you even felt you had to say this is a sad state of affairs about our modern society. When this show was made we were well on our way to getting past racial divisions, as a white kid watching this show I never once thought "they're black and different", I just thought they're human beings like me. I always compared my own dad to Carl, my grandma to Estelle, and didn't think anything of it.😢 I wish our world today could be more like that

💕

Positive black stories. Not the ratchet trash that runs rampant in todays “Black Stories”.

I know, right? I would love to see Steve and Laura married with kids along with Eddie and Greta.

Reggie said he'd do it in a heart beat in more than one interview

But if they’re planning to do a Reboot of Family Matters it’s not going to be the same without Momma Winslow Garland

@@seanlauer9222 How wouldn't it be the same? In later years, Mother Winslow was written out of episodes and hardly seen, so it was like she wasn't there anyways. After the 4th season, half of the family was written out or put on the backburner, and would show up every now and then.

Family Matters More?

It made the character look and act more mature than he actually was, which was interesting.

Sorry he is just not attractive. ‘Always looks comical. ‘Always Urkel !

Rip Michelle Thomas. What about Maxine Laura's Friend. She then Became. Waldo girlfriend

I agree with you. They had great morals. 👍

@@bobs1356😇💯👍🔥 morality is what the world needs

King Memories: Amen! ♥️🙏♥️

O my goodness she looked amazing!

She really does look amazing!

The one who played Laura surely has!

@@chuckb9595 yea, Harriet still got that sexy voice

Whatever. I am getting sick and tired of these actors coming together on a set... and calling it "a reunion". This is a cast meetup, not a reunion episode. Stop trying to change what a "reunion show" is. They are not in character, they are not acting on the show. Its cute to see the actors being friends on set, and talking about their JOBS. But this is not "a family matters" reunion. Hollywood truly lost all the good writers with these types of productions. These people are sitting here pretending like they are not friends off camera. Its crap, the Martin reunion as well... Who cares about seeing all you people together on a set? You are getting clicks from people who want to see an actual continuation of the damn show. This is a bunch of actors sitting in front of a camera, getting paid to talk about something they did to make money. Stop clicking this bullcrap. Amen

@reyesvaldez2496 If there wasn’t an Urkel then there wouldn’t be a family matters. Period. So they owe everything to him.

I see it. His energy is definitely off. You can tell they don't like him and you can definitely see he doesn't like Harriet

🤔🤔So you rewatched an entire 53 min video and i commented 34 mins ago....and im a liar ans make up things 🙃

​@yvetteg.5067 you just had to see thr Key&Peele spoof on Family Matters. That's actually based on truth about Reginald's and others' dislike on Jaleel

I genuinely feel me and majority of my non-Black peers grew up not only non-racist but anti-racist because of shows like Family Matters, Fresh Prince and Cosby. From the age of 4, I watched Black families be moralistic yet hilarious: doctors, lawyers, judges, policemen, jocks, A-students, preppies, nerds, annoying siblings. Just like me and my family and every other American family. It was so formative to my feelings and ideals regarding social parity.

Yes even when he mentioned wanting to be in the pie scene they looked like “of course you wanted in smh” but to want to be in that scene is a little selfish on his part

His body language is totally showing he was not happy to be there!

I think in a past interview he mentioned JoMarie and Reginald had put pressure on him when he did the Myrtle character. They felt that he was doing African American people a diservice being put in a dress. That's when his father said that Jaleel won't do that character again for to the pressure from other adults views. Even though he was just a young teen.

Jaleel is full of himself too though to be fair. Every one is adults now and they know how to be professional. That's all that matters.

@@lisacox3750 Totally. I mean, he WAS the secret ingredient that made the show so popular, no doubt... but I can't IMAGINE how full of himself he was back then, I mean, look at him here... he ONLY talks about himself. Everyone else's favourite moments were meaningful moments with each other, but his were all about himself, he doesn't even mention anyone else.

Wasn't Jo Marie Payton on Silver Spoons, too? I remember her having this super long ponytail.

@@bloomque5691 Loved Telma in Half and Half. She and Rachel seemed so believable as mother and daughter. Can't believe the show ended on a cliffhanger due in part to the writers' strike.🤦🏽‍♀️

@@bloomque5691 Right?! Let's say that the producers had taken a viewers' poll to let fans cast their vote for either Chase or Lorenzo. I preferred Lorenzo for Mona. He seemed more easygoing and laid back than Chase. But still even after all these years, I wish the entire series was available on DVD. As for Dee Dee and Brett, I only saw that as an office fling. Were you for Chase, or Lorenzo?

I'm so glad to see that someone else remembers Telma from Tony Orlando & Dawn!

@@katrish786 I remember Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson from Tony Orlando and Dawn too 👍

I'm going to need him to grow that mustache back, though. Lol

Not being mean but he really put on the weight since the show, I hope he's taking care of himself now....

Me too

But for us fans she is always our Myra, in our hearts

Me too.

@@katlap3101 people relax. They probably didn't want to have a downer in the video. That would have made it a little depressing

it wasn't in this video but there are clips of them talking about Michelle Thomas and how sad they weren't able to say goodbye during her final days because she was very sick

I loved Perfect Strangers!

Similar memories just unlocked except it was me my sister and my brother with our great aunt

Jo Marie

They really did bring us joy. May God bless you as well

Yah I miss Fresh Prince!!!

Same!

What nostalgia are you feeling? This is not a new episode, this is just a bunch of actors talking about some monet they made. Its clickbait, this is not what the people want to see. The writers in Hollywood dont exist anymore? Whatever. I am getting sick and tired of these actors coming together on a set... and calling it "a reunion". This is a cast meetup, not a reunion episode. Stop trying to change what a "reunion show" is. They are not in character, they are not acting on the show. Its cute to see the actors being friends on set, and talking about their JOBS. But this is not "a family matters" reunion. Hollywood truly lost all the good writers with these types of productions.

You are getting clicks from people who want to see an actual continuation of the damn show. This is a bunch of actors sitting in front of a camera, getting paid to talk about something they did to make money. Stop clicking this bullcrap

Seeing almost everyone brought back so many memories. Love this show still.

Same 🥹

Take me back!!😫

How ?

​@@lexkanyima2195 Nostalgia.

Correct, it lasted 9 years on TV.

I think it would be hard for White to come back as Steve, both in terms of his ability to do it now and his desire to do it now.

@@garlandragland He wouldn't need to act like nerdy Urkel, his kid could do that

As long as it's not like Girl Meets World the spinoff of Boy Meets World. Since it was ABC that means most likely the Spin Off would be made by Disney...

No!

My parents didn’t let us watch Roseanne or The Simpsons, but Cosby, Family Matters and Fresh Prince were allowed and even encouraged. Carl reminds me a lot of my dad 💜

Latinos are racist

Carl reminds me of my dad too!! As a white kid raised with zero real black people in my small town, my favorite TV families were black!!

Yes! I watched Family Matters as a Caucasian girl and remembered it fondly.

@@heathereagleson1098 Hahaha. That's cool.

Step by Step....day by dayyyy by dayyyyy. I can still sing it!

Designing Women and The Golden Girls! 💖

Moesha, the parkers, Girlfriends 😌

Just by the shows listed here tells everyone’s age… I’m a true millennial 💜 family matters, full house etc… was my era

@@stephaniebragg3081 Fresh start oooh-ver, a different hand to play

Yes, and it's a wonderful program to watch with kids too!
