Goofs:
Continuity: In the Winslow's, home guests would always walk out the front door and then to the left, but in the picture that is shown as the Winslow's home there is no walkway to the left. There are a few stairs outside that lead up to the front door, but walking to the left after exiting through the front door would only lead you into a wall.

I know many are trashing the show because of Steve. But I agree with many of the those who say that Steve made the show what it was.
Granted Steve could be annoying at times. But thats what Steve was all about. Granted it got a little silly as the years past, but I'd watch Family Matters any time over The Nanny.
