The Cast of Family Matters

This was one of my favorite TV Shows. I never got tired of hearing Steve Urkel say "Did I Do That". It is a classic. I loved the whole cast especially Steve and Laura.

This is a wonderful group Phoebe. It brings back so many good memories. I like so....many of the TV Shows, movies and the Music that you and others have posted on here already. Thanks again!

Love Jacq. B.

Attack of the '80s Cartoons
by Mike Ryan · June 9, 2010

Kids today, with their newfangled cartoon movies and television shows.

Just take a look at the projects in development, which include a third film about robots that change into vehicles called "Transformers" and a second film about an international strike force called "G.I. Joe." There's also a cartoon called "Thundercats" about cat-like warriors from a planet called Thundera, and a cartoon about mechanical lions that combine to form a robot named Voltron. Craziest of all, watch for a film about elf-like blue creatures called Smurfs that are all named after adjectives and use the term for their own species as a verb.

What happened to the wholesome animated entertainment of, say, the 1980s? Shows like, well, "Transformers," "G.I. Joe," "Thundercats," "Voltron," and "Smurfs"? Where are these crazy ideas of 2010 coming from?

Obviously, 1980s popular culture is playing a gigantic role in what viewers see at the local theaters and on their television screens. Yes, the '80s appear to be back in a big way, especially during a week where "The A-Team" and "The Karate Kid" both open in theaters. What's notable, and quite unique, is the amount of influence that animated projects from the 1980s are having today. If you look back at the '80s, it's not like there were many animated projects from the 1950s making blockbuster returns to the sliver screen. Sure, Snagglepuss and Huckleberry Hound were great, but they never got multi-million-dollar budgets. And when one did -- an atrocious "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" from 2000 comes to mind -- the project bombed.

"Transformers," created in the early 1980s as a Hasbro toy line with an accompanying cartoon and Marvel comic, has been successfully rebooted (at least financially) into a live-action film franchise that launched -- and later dropped -- Megan Fox, and solidified the star power of Shia LaBeouf. A third film, sans Fox, is in production.

The 1980s incarnation of G.I. Joe -- another Hasbro toy line that featured a cartoon and an extremely well-done comic book -- was loosely based on a toy from the 1960s. But, in reality, it was completely different. The original was a solo 12-inch action figure; the updated version, which launched in 1982, was based on a terrorist fighting team. The 2009 film, "G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra," was critically panned but cruised to an impressive $302 million worldwide. A sequel is already scheduled.

There have been rumors of a "Thundercats" film for years. So far, these rumors (and hopes) have not panned out. But there is solace: Cartoon Network has officially green-lit a new Japanese anime-style version of Lion-O and Mumm-Ra. ThunderCats -- ho!

Even more frustrating than the lack of a "Thundercats" movie is the lack of a "Voltron" film. The highly anticipated "Voltron" has been wallowing in production hell for years. It is to the point that when an untitled trailer -- for what turned out to be J.J. Abrams' "Cloverfield" -- hit theaters before the first "Transformers" film. Rumors on the Internet insisted that this was indeed a trailer for "Voltron." Um, it wasn't. And it appears there won't be one for quite a long time, since the film has apparently been killed. The good news, as with "Thundercats": There's a new cartoon in production to air on Nicktoons called "Voltron" Force."

And then there are the Smurfs. These guys just never quit. While projects such as "Thundercats" and "Voltron" -- both tailor-made for the big screen -- languish, here comes a hybrid live-action of "The Smurfs," smurfing all the way to your local cineplex. Set for a 2011 release date, the film will feature Neil Patrick Harris, Anton Yelchin, Katy Perry, Paul Reubens, and Hank Azaria.

In the early 1970's me, my mother, sisters, and brother went to The Steve Allen Show. We were in the audience. I had made a bright lime green daisy blouse to wear to the show. I wanted to be bright so that everyone would see me. We were gathered around the TV. However, the show didn't air because of a ballgame. We were very disappointed.

We watched TV on a Black and White TV. When I was in Willowbrook we got a Color TV. All of the neighborhood kids would come over to our house and watch Color TV.
