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.

When it comes to work Travis and Wes are the best cops you've ever seen in the real life. But their relationship with each other looks like a nightmare. No, they don't hate each other and if it would be necessary they likely took a bullet for one another. The problem is, they just can't get along. That's why Captain Sutton their boss sends them to couple therapy to Dr. Ryan with whom he had positive experience in some similar case. At the same time Wes and Travis are attempting to solve the murder mystery that somehow connected with all the stuff revolving around their group therapy making the series's plot more twisted and complicated. The chemistry between two actors adds more spiciness to overall TV show's performance. Travis Marks is portrayed by Michael Ealy who played in Think Like a Man as Dominic and Detective Sebastian in vampire-themed movie Underworld: Awakening. You've probably noticed him in Californication series as Ben. Another cop, Wes Mitchell, is Warren Kole, a quite demanded actor in Hollywood television series industry. His portfolio includes: The Chicago Code, Rizzoli & Isles, Mental (as Rylan Moore) and 24 (Brian Gedge). He also has been seen as Carrier BridgeTechs in action-packed movie The Avengers. Another noticeable person in Common Law is Captain Mike Sutton played by Jack McGee who was acting in Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad which was filmed at the same time. Before Common Law, Jack McGee also remarkably played in numerous TV shows and movies like Rescue Me, Brotherhood, Criminal Minds, Players, New Year's Eve, etc. Dr. Elise Ryan (who is trying to help Travis and Wes find a peace with each other) is portrayed by Sonya Walger, cute Hollywood TV series superstar with a long listed filmography: FlashForward, In Treatment, Lost and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
