Where Are They Now: The Cast of Family Matters

Revisiting the Winslow clan 25 years later.

Family Matters - This week marks the 25th anniversary of TV audiences' introduction to the Winslow family. The multi-generational, working class family was spun off from the sitcom, Perfect Strangers, but soon made its own mark in television history. After a successful nine-season run, Family Matters is one of the longest-running sitcoms with a predominately African-American cast (The Jeffersons ran the longest).  Best of all, Family Matters proved that its own show title was the ultmate formula for a successful primetime series.
