Corrected entry: When Eddie comes down the stairs to ask his father again about wanting new shoes, his father says no. Eddie goes back up the stairs. Next scene, Carl walks to the kitchen, and Eddie is sitting at the counter.
Family Matters (1989)
1 corrected entry in season 1
Other mistake: In this episode, they have a leak in the roof. Yet, the house is a two story house with an attic. So it should not be able to leak into the living room. Also, when Carl and Eddie go up to fix the roof, Eddie falls through the roof and ends up on the living room couch. Again, two story house with attic. Should not happen.
Carl: Go home! Go home! Go home!
Steve: I don't have to take this. I'm going home.
Trivia: The Family Matters set shared a basketball court with the set of E.R. Jaleel White revealed that he would play George Clooney one-on-one wearing suspenders while Clooney would be wearing scrubs.
Question: In the mistakes section it mentions that Richie's mother, Rachel, and the Winslow's younger daughter, Judy, disappeared without a trace. Was there ever any explanation?
Answer: It is said that as Steve Urkel became a more popular character on the show, Judy became less important to the storylines, plus either her or her parents were demanding more money, causing her to be removed from the show entirely.
Answer: No. Call it "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome". A character is written off the show without any explanation at all.
Answer: She disappeared because Judy and Steve's actors, Jaimee Foxworth and Jaleel White, didn't get along with each other.
