Family Matters/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

* [[I Am Not Spock|I Am Not Urkel]]: This series pretty much killed any shot at Jaleel being taken seriously as an actor, outside voicework. This is slightly subverted as White doesn't resent his most famous role and has fond memories of the series.

* [[Jossed]]: It is widely believed that Jo Marie Payton left the show midway through the final season because she was disgusted that Steve had took over as the star of the show. It is also believed that she reappeared in the series finale in an uncredited role. In an 2010 interview, however, Payton revealed that she had been wanting to leave the show for years to do other projects, and had finally left on good terms midway through the final season. She also revealed that contrary to popular belief, she didn't appear in the series finale.

* [[Nice Character, Mean Actor]]: The Buddy Goodrich character. On screen, Goodrich (possibly a ''[[The Cosby Show|Bill Cosby]]'' [[Captain Ersatz]]) is a loving father. Off screen, he's a manipulative jerk who hassles Carl (only there to get him to move his car out of a handicapped spot), reveals he's only at a charity event [[Money, Dear Boy|for the money]], shoves (and later tries to punch) Carl, twists the event to look like the victim to the press, then threatens to have his assistant commit perjury and finally attempts to bribe Carl with a job as a "technical assistant" for his show.

* [[The Other Darrin]]:

** Jo Marie Payton, the ''original'' star of the show, left halfway through the show's final season and the role of Harriet was recast with Judyann Elder.
