Coming off the heels of a great Breakfast performance at 10,000 Lakes and in the hopes of a growing contingent of new fans in the Midwest, I have created a randon sit-com poll. In addition, since Kyndkate and Gordo have dedicated their blanks and efforts to spreading the Breakfast tunes (and vibes) in the midwest, the poll focuses on two old shows that were based in Chicago:
Family Matters vs. Perfect Strangers
Am I forgetting any other shows that were centered around Chicago life?
ohh yeah, FM is owning!
good one al, im trying to think of other Chicago-based sitcoms, i know theres another thats not hittin me. i was a big Urkel (sp?) fan.
Family Matt3rs- hands down. Balky\'s got nothing on Jaleel White.
yo, wheres your vote then Buquebus?
oh god, PS by a mile...
easily my favorite show growing up. there\'s just no touching the duo that was larry & balki..
though there is a little bit of a generation gap on this one - PS ran from 1986-1993, while FM ran 1989-1998..
generation gap will play a key role. i never really cared for PS.

i loved that show... in reruns
the question should be...what show had an uglier mother than good times?

family matters is actually a spinoff of perfect strangers. harriette worked in the chicago chronicle in both shows. carl was in it too playing a police officer. i guess after perfect strangers ended they decide to make a show around the windslows. A few seasons of family matters are pretty good. but it ended up getting very stupid about halfway through the shows run. it was good when steve was just a geek, but when they turned him basically into a mad scientist the show no longer seemed realistic and just got very stupid.
WINSLOW!!! family matters without a doubt - urkel might be a geek but he has a heart and eddie winslow is kind of cute

yup, but see the dates above - FM started while PS was still less than half done..

yeah, she was freekie looking. the little wise ass from What\'s Happening was pretty ugly.
this thread has spawned a total 70\'s/early 80\'s TV conversation in my office.
I just remembered that I idolized Bill Maxwell from The Greatest American Hero when I was a weee chap.
