Imagine working as a police officer on the dangerous streets of Chicago and then going home at the end of a long day to raise three children. Parenting isn’t easy and it becomes even more complicated when you have a meddling neighbor like Steve Urkel to deal with.

Family Matters aired for nine long seasons and during that time Carl showed us that he had enough love for his own children while also helping turn Steve Urkel into a respectable young man. Carl was also often flawed but learned from his mistakes and grew into one of TV’s favorite sitcom dads.
