Family Matters Season 1-9

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Why it’s enough to make you picket your CBS affiliate with an “Unfair to Urkel” sign. After his network lured Family Matters away from ABC last year, CBS Television president Leslie Moonves called it “one of the great television shows in history.” But its ratings suffered on CBS, and the canceled series ends its nine-season run with a two-part episode dumped in the summer dog days. Doesn’t Jaleel White’s supernerd character Steve Urkel deserve as much farewell fanfare as that smug Seinfeld guy and his friends? Before you get carried away, know that the finale is not very funny. Urkel is chosen to be the first student in space—which makes sense, since his geekiness is out of this world. But the spacecraft collides with a satellite, and our oddball hero—who says he’s so upset he’s “about to blow chunks”—must save the day. Urkel’s fiancée, Laura (Kellie Shanygne Williams), prays hard for his safe return, while her family busies itself with a boring subplot. “I can’t watch this,” Laura moans as TV covers the space crisis. Fear not; the end is near.- Terry Kelleher

I must admit that when I first heard the breaking news of a nanny conviction in Massachusetts, my heart leapt at the sudden possibility of Fran Drescher facing 20 years without parole. Alas, Drescher and her version of child-care abuse, The Nanny, remain at large to mess with innocent young minds tuning in to CBS on Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. The sitcom, now in its fifth season, is a curiosity: It has successfully masqueraded as an ”8 o’clock show” — that is, one supposedly designed for the whole family to enjoy — despite its quantity of corny, sniggery sex jokes that seems to increase with every passing year.

The Nanny‘s premise hinges on whether Drescher’s character will Do It with her employer, Mr. Sheffield (Charles Shaugnessy) before his horny-harridan business partner (Lauren Lane) Does It with him first. It’s all so creepy; a joke on the Oct. 22 episode commenced with a big yuk about the Kama sutra. Most of the time, I don’t think I’m old enough to be watching The Nanny.
