The show with the "nerd" (Steve Urkel) of course! One of my favorite episodes was when Steve tells Laura, "There's a rumor going around that I'm a nerd!" Makes me laugh every time. And then, of course, Urkel's famous saying, "Did I do that?" Family Matters was on the ABC Network from 1989-1997.

Then, they moved to the CBS Network from 1997-1998, lasting only about another 10 months.

Answer: All In The Family

Oh yes, good ol' Archie Bunker. He was so funny. One just couldn't help but love Archie! I didn't watch this show during its airing time which was from 1971-1979. I was too young.

Queen Latifah stars in this show as Khadijah James. Kim Fields, who also played 'Tootie' in "The Facts of Life", also stars in this comedy show as the conceited Regine Hunter.

Answer: Martin

"Martin" was the comedy show that starred the funny Martin Lawrence. He played a variety of characters but Sheneneh was my favorite. She lived across the hall from Martin and Gina, and was always causing some sort of trouble. Martin was always insulting Gina's friend Pam. One of my favorite scenes is when he tells Pam she better do something with her breath, and she tries sniffing her own breath and runs out of the apartment in embarrassment after doing so.

"The Facts of Life" was one of my favorite childhood shows. It aired from 1979-1988 and was about a group of girls in a boarding school.

Answer: The Golden Girls

"Sanford And Son" is one of those shows I can't find repeats of on TV anymore. I miss this show, it was always a favorite of mine. (Update: As of 1/2003, "Sanford And Son" re-runs can now be seen on TV Land Mon.-Fri. at 9:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time). Redd Foxx played Fred Sanford, owner of a junk yard business. Lamont was his son who lived with him and was played by Demond Wilson. Grady, played by Whitman Mayo, was Fred's best friend. Esther, played by LaWanda Page, was Fred's sister-in-law whom he always traded insults with. Fred and Esther together provided some of the best comical scenes for this show.

Thelma is 'Mama' and is played by Vicki Lawrence. Iola is Thelma's best friend and neighbor and she is played by Beverly Archer.

Answer: Good Times

J.J. is played by the funny Jimmie Walker. One of my favorite J.J. quotes is "I'm slim, black, and Dyn-o-mite!" "Good Times" is based on a poor black family and the hardships that sometimes accompany the ghetto life. It sounds like a sad story but it's a really funny show. Flo, also known as Florida, is J.J.'s mom who is often the strong soul of the family and Esther Rolle plays her. Wilona is the gossipy neighbor as well as Flo's best friend. Penny is Wilona's adopted daughter and is played by the young Janet Jackson.
