Family Matters

description

"Family Matters" is an American television show that aired from 1989 to 1998. It is a sitcom that centers around the Winslow family, an African-American family living in Chicago, and their neighbors. The show tackles various themes such as family values, friendship, love, and social issues such as racism, police brutality, and drug use.

The show's main character is Carl Winslow, a police officer, who lives with his wife Harriette, their three children, and Harriette's sister Rachel. The show also features Carl's mother, Estelle, and his son's best friend, Steve Urkel, who becomes a main character in the series. Steve is known for his high-pitched voice, awkwardness, and catchphrase "Did I do that?"

Throughout its run, "Family Matters" received positive reviews for its portrayal of a black family on television and for its use of comedy to address important social issues. The show's popularity also led to the creation of a spin-off series, "Step by Step." Despite its success, the show ended after nine seasons due to declining ratings and creative differences between the cast and crew.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Just as we all began to wonder whether or not William H. Macy ever would land a role as juicy and delicious as playing Felicity Huffman's real-life husband, he scored arguably the greatest part of his entire career, starring as Frank Gallagher on Showtime's gritty new "Shameless." Frank drinks. Frank drinks shamelessly, intrepidly, relentlessly, recklessly and irretrievably while his six motherless children learn to fend for themselves on Chicago's unforgiving south side, "back of the stockyards," as they say, although the cattle have long-since gone. In the first episode, a properly burly Chicago police officer deposits Frank on his entryway floor, noting his incontinence and suggesting, "I wouldn't put him anywhere near a carpet until his pants dry." This ain't no Wisteria Lane. Adapted from its British companion, the American version of "Shameless" fulfils producer John Wells's long-standing desire "to make a television show where familial love, juicy cursing, casual sex and drug use, bluntly put humor, mega-alcohol bingeing and total chaos reign." The subject matter and setting naturally lend themselves to that treatment, and the entire casts rises to the occasion. "Shameless" depicts abject poverty, incurable alcoholism, and hopeless co-dependence as grimly and accurately as they deserve, yet it still persuades slightly spellbound viewers the Gallaghers genuinely love one another.
