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.

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.

We were only shown White and Asian nerds, and Steve and Carlton from Fresh Prince were the 1st Black genius/smart kids on tv that I saw for my generation in the 90’s, and we eventually got TJ from Smart Guy by the end of the 90’s but Steve and Carlton were the 1st.

"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

I didn't realise it back then but that Jaleel kid was really talented. Playing multiple characters with such ease is impressive, and at that age... nearly impossible.

@@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

The casting couldn't be better. Hearing their back stories and how it all came together makes it even better.

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

Aww, I LOVED this show growing up! TGIF was the best! Great cast. So many kids used to dress up as Steve Urkel for Halloween & say, "Did I do that? " I've gotta introduce this show to my kids ❤

It's sad they have resentment towards Jaleel White due to his annormous success on the show as Steve and Stephen. He seems so laid back and down to earth. I am glad that he got the popularity.

Thank you People magazine for featuring a Family Matters reunion. The entire cast looks amazing! It's beautiful what the show gave us & sad that we don't have ones like it anymore. Would definitely watch if they did a reboot.

I miss fun family shows like this that all ages could watch and laugh. Thank you so much for being a large part of my childhood and so many giggles ❤️

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

Family matters was a very funny show to bad you don’t see good shows like this anymore.❤

One of the greatest shows ever, I need a boxed set!! Still comforting, relating and Hilarious to this day!! Much love to them all , rest in peace Michelle Thomas and Rosetta Lenore.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾

I would love to see them back together. They are bringing back everything else in tv history, so why not.

LOVED, loved, LOVED this wholesome, down to earth, feel good, iconic family show. Now THIS is a show that millions of people would love to see a reboot of. Everyone played a good role and added something terrific to the show but Jaleel White as Steve Urkel was GREAT!!! I could never understand why his career didn’t skyrocket after that. I think he should be a Mega-millionaire by now because his acting was SO SUPERB!

It was such a great portrayal of the majority of black families. The topics were on point. The love was real. Great programming. Congrats to them all on a job well done. Some are no longer with us but they are not forgotten.

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.

Mother Winslow was THE best character!! Darius and Shawn have aged well 😍 I’m sad they didn’t mention Michelle Thomas at all 😢

This show was a staple of my childhood. Every Friday night almost without fail I would turn to my sister at dinner and say “guess what’s on tonight?” Sometimes she would remember and other times I would have to tell her “Urkel is on tonight” and we would just get so excited. I hope this show does come back in some form like showing the kids of Steve and Laura or something. I would love that.

That was THE most beautiful reunion show I’ve ever seen. The love and respect they all have for each other is moving. You hear stuff from the media that there was jealousy and problems when Urkel was introduced but you see none of that here in this reunion. Again, so moving and absolutely beautiful to see and watch. 😎💖

Good old days when life wasn’t so hard and was easy going and less stress😢I miss all of these old tv shows

This was a classic show I grew up on. The cast looks terrific and has barely aged a day!

I LOVED this show as a kid. Ms Jill Marie has obviously stopped aging. Wrinkles are obviously scared of her face. It’s so good to see everyone together. They all look so healthy and amazing. I wish Jamie Foxworth was there. She’s so gorgeous and doing so well.

Jo Marie looks and sounds so much like Jennifer Lewis 😅 I was born in January 1992 and have always loved 90s shows so I'll definitely be checking this out.

I loved Family Matters.

When JW said Urkel still lives on the inside of him in "the sunken place...", I almost fell out my chair! Loved the Get Out reference.🤣😂😅

Loved this show! After I moved into my own home, my parents came over on a few Friday evenings, and we roared with laughter. Now, both parents are gone, and I have fond memories of TGIF on ABC.

I grew up with this show, and I really wish we had more shows like this no a days. I’m so happy to see such a loving cast…. a cast that cares about each other. That took care of each other. That’s why family matters. 💜

One of the best sitcoms of our time! Love the Winslow family!!! ☮️🖤🥰

This show will always be iconic. It's great to see the cast members together again.

" Did I do thaaat?" One of my favorite catch phrases of all time .They need to bring back awesome TV family sitcoms like this . Watching the ABC TGIF sitcom lineup on Friday nights primetime was one of the highlights of the week for me as a teenager in the 80s.

This show was one of a kind. I don't think there will ever be another like it.

Growing up, this show was great on any day but the best on a hard day. This family helped shape me. It consoled me. A huge thank you to everyone involved. Especially to Reginald and Ms. Jo Marie! Jo Marie Payton - strong and calming. Thank you.

I simply loved this show, the story and the characters. Priceless in all times.

This is my favorite reunion ever!

One of my all-time favorite shows! I would love to see them do an updated version of Family, Matters, with the same characters!♥️
