Continuity mistake: From the outside of the house, you can see the staircase and door are to the far left of the house. But from inside the house, you have a fireplace and the staircase to the right of the door. So you know it's not the same house they use in the show.
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?
