We grew up with Family Matters and to this day, we can relate to many of the characters as when we first saw them in the 1990s.

But behind the façade of this family sitcom, there was a lot of drama and controversy that caused tension for the Family Matters cast. Looking back, it’s truly a wonder how they managed to keep the show on the air for 9 years!
Without a doubt, the character Steve Urkel, played by Jaleel White, eventually became the star of the show. Even if you haven’t watched Family Matters, you probably know about Urkel and his shenanigans. But did you know that many of the cast members had difficulty working with Jaleel White? Did you know that there was tension revolving around how popular and overshadowing Urkel was?
That’s not all. If you’ve watched Family Matters since the first season, you’ll remember that one of the Winslow kids was Judy Winslow – played by child actress Jaimee Foxworth. Yet, after a few seasons, we stopped seeing the character and she pretty much disappeared. So, what did happen to the character and the actress who played her?
These are just some of the challenges and drama that happened to the Family Matters cast and threatened the show’s popularity. Luckily, it managed to stay on the air for 9 years and 9 seasons but eventually, the show had to be taken off the air.
