  • Love this podcast

    I enjoy listening to these two ladies recap my favorite 90s show. This show definitely helped me get through some tough times as I didn't have a good home life. I enjoyed watching the stories and I wished I had a family like the family matters family. I hope I can come on and share my perspective. Will always have a fan in me.

  • It’s a rare condition!

    I am loving this podcast. I am always going to watch/listen to anything with Telma as I’m a big fan of anything she does. It’s great getting to hear her & Kellie just chatting it up. Despite seeing them both on my TV for years, this is the first time that I’ve been able to hear them as themselves & not characters. They are funny & interesting just being themselves. Them recapping & giving inside info on the show is the icing on the cake. I’m glad the show ran so long so I have many many episodes... more

  • I Really Wanted to Love This

    I’ve been watching Family Matters for 35 years. My friends even make fun of me because I legit watch it as part of my regular rotation. Not only is it a terrific show with great actors, but the episodes without Urkel are the best part, humanizing the multi-generational Black family experience. But yikes this podcast has no clear direction. It’s a lot of jumping from random topic and inside jokes. Both ladies are lovely but clearly not regular podcasters and need to find more structure. I’ll hang... more

    Every episode I’ve watched over and over again. Each story left an indelible impression on my life. I’ve been hoping for something more from this show. This podcast is the answer! Excited to re-imagine and reflect with you. Yes!! Aunt Rachel and the lovely, Laura Winslow.

It's nice to think that we influenced them somehow, even if we don't see our looks reflected today.

S1Ep4 - Rachel's First Date
Q: Have you ever had an awful date, maybe a first date, a blind date?
I can be pretty socially awkward, so you probably should have asked my dates.
