There was a two-part series finale. Steve and Laura were going to get married, but had to put those plans on hold because Steve was chosen to go into space. Eddie was finally became a cop and was assigned meter maid duty. Harriett pulls strings to get Eddie assigned there. Carl tries to explain why Eddie should be a cop. Meanwhile, in space, Urkel's spacecraft is in trouble when a satellite hits it. He has to do a space-walk thing to repair it. He runs into more problems, but eventually makes it home to Laura. They don't marry at the end of the show.
I am by no means proud of the fact that I know this.

I'd have to go with Fresh Prince, The Simpsons, and Perfect Strangers.
The Cosby Show was great too, even though it started in the 80's.

Who remembers when Waldo ran with a bad crowd and they spiked Steve's punch? Then Steve did the Urkel dance and almost fell off a roof.
And Waldo had like fake watches or alcohol or something sewn into his trench coat.

That sounds like the time Will had uppers in his locker, and Carlton accidently took them (he thought they were vitamins). He got taken to the hospital, where Will had a tearful apology. Carlton ended up ok, and everyone learned a valuable lesson.

I'm gonna put my bid in for Roseanne (i think its more of a 90s show--it ran from 1988-1997)
come on, how can you turn away a sitcom about a lower middle class white family, complete with a daughter-switch, gay grandmother, daughters with white-trash-esque boyfriends...
and then the show JTS (jumps the shark) when they win the lottery and go all willy-nilly.
jump the shark - if you really wanna know exactly when your favorite show went downhill

I remember quite well.
The guy who was Waldo's friend was Willie played by Larenz Tate of Love Jones, Dead Presidents, South Central and Menace II Society fame (to name a few).
I too was a Family Matters junkie.
A few weeks ago on Eve, Eddie and Laura were on the show as husband and wife. ILK.

Because it was depressing. I mean yeah you laughed a little and then you're like "Crap I hope I never do anything that bad to end up with that life".

I looked up Willie and found out his last name was Fuffner. Then I found this quote and it made me happy
Waldo- Hey, whatcha gonna do, Willie?
Willie- I'm gonna trash Urkel's locker!
Waldo- But, why ya gonna do that, Willie?
Willie- Because, it's Tuesday.
Waldo- Again?

Willie: "Do we get a phone call?"
Officer: "One call."
Waldo: "Can it be a 976 number?"
Willie: "He just hit me with a mitten!"
Waldo: "Be careful Willie, he's got another one!"

laughed a little? i laughed a LOT. i thought the show was hilarious! race aside, i think it matched my home life moreso than family matters, cosby show or fresh prince, which are for the most part, far-fetched as sh!t.
clearly cause it's TV. not to say that i didnt enjoy these shows... i was front and center for all of them.

OMG eddie winslow was BUTT ugly. yes, i took it that far back.
sister sister- definitely a fav, but it makes me a little uncomfortable recalling it.
i didnt necessarily "grow up" on "a different world" but enjoyed it nonetheless.
