 Welcome back to Comic-EnTV, the only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides. I'm Shannon and today on the show we are going to be taking a look at the pop television number 1379 Family Matters, Laura Winslow. All right so here we have the pop television Warner Brothers 100 celebrating every story number 1379 Family Matters, Laura Winslow. As you can see tell this is probably from midway through the series while she was in high school and tell by her hair and her clothing style. I'm not sure which episode she appeared in that outfit. I do remember seeing her in that outfit though. Laura was played by Kelly Chenine Williams. She appeared in 215 episodes which means she appeared in every single episode of Family Matters between 1989 and 1998. Here's a look at the side of the box. Here's a look at the display side and then we take a look at the back we got. We already reviewed Carl and Eddie. Now we're on Laura. Next time we'll be taking a look at Stefan Erkel and Steve Erkel. So let's go ahead and open those box and take a look at Laura. All right so Laura does come in a clamshell packaging with a stand. The stand was pretty loose in the box so I just kind of set it in there for now. We'll set that out. We'll unsnap the clamshell. Yeah that's why she came with a stand. She cannot stand very well on her own. So let's go ahead and put her on her base. Oh no. I won't be displaying her out of the box. The peg broke as I was trying to turn her. That's no good. I hate that. That sucks and I can't use a different base either because yeah that peg is pretty well stuck in there. So yeah there's no way to stand her up on her own. That really sucks. But as you see she's got her high school 90s style bob haircut. I've always liked this hairstyle girls. I don't know. I think Laura really popularized it maybe. Maybe not. Maybe it was popular before she started wearing it. But I've always liked that hairstyle girls. As you can see the hair is a separate piece. It's placed in the pop head and the pop head is really solid. I imagine if the head was hollow she might be able to stand on her own. Well I doubt it because the feet aren't exactly flat. Yeah one foot has the heel raised. So be careful with the peg. Make sure when you put her on it it is exactly where you want it. Don't try turning it to get her in the perfect spot once she's placed. The peg will not hold up. She's got a red jacket, a striped shirt underneath, black skirt and it looks like black socks with black shoes. Forgive me guys. As I said in the Carl Winslow video I am filming these back to back releasing them a week at a time. I am dealing with some congestion due to the weather change. Woke up with a stuffy nose that was breathing through my mouth most of the night. Really sucks but let's get back to Laura. She's got her yellow earrings. Nice little, it looks like they gave her a little bit of a beauty mark there unless it's an error. They gave her a mouth, unlike the other pops. I guess they kind of gave Carl a mouth or at least they gave him a mustache anyway. I gave her some eyelashes. I tell you back in the day, back in the 90s, I had a crush on Laura Winslow. She's very, very pretty actress. Still very pretty. Just don't see her in much anymore and there was a Christmas movie that came out that I happened to cross. I want to say on the Roku channel or something this past Christmas, it was called A Family Matters Christmas. It had Kelly Chenine Williams and Joe Murray Payton in it. None of the rest of the cast of Family Matters. It had another title but Roku advertised it as a Family Matters Christmas for whatever reason. I didn't watch it because it was just a cash grab on the Family Matters name, basically. If it would have actually been a Family Matters Christmas, I would have watched it. I think they should do a Requel series to Family Matters. Bring back Joe Murray Payton. She was replaced midway through the final season by another actress due to contract disputes because she didn't like the way the series was moving in more into sci-fi rather than traditional family sitcom. The series was supposed to be based around Joe Murray Payton's character here at Winslow and her husband, Carl, played by Reginald Villa Johnson. They were recurring characters on Perfect Strangers and so executives decided to give them their own spin-off and it became Family Matters. About midway through the first season, they introduced Steve Urkel and it more or less became the Urkel show after that. Laura was usually the most level-headed character on the show. She was very smart, very popular. She was the one that a lot of people could actually relate to. I wish I could display her with the rest of her Family Matters family just like this I have on her stand or whatever which let's go and bring in Eddie and we'll bring in Carl to show you the height difference. It's kind of hard there let's go and bring this down. As you can see Eddie is the tallest one because of his hair. Laura's a little bit shorter than Carl which is pretty much how it was in the series as well but I love these characters so much. When I came across Carl and saw they actually had a Family Matters pops I had to get them all so I went on Amazon and I ordered the rest of them. Next week we'll be looking at Stefan Urkel and the following week will be Steve Urkel. Maybe vice versa. I don't know. I haven't decided on that much yet but anyway let me know what your favorite episode of Family Matters was. I do have I'm not sure if it's aired yet by the time this has been published or not but I did just finish the script for history and origins of TGIF that I'm going to probably record maybe tomorrow um maybe next week I'm not 100% sure but I do have other episodes I'm planning on as well such as the history and origins of Fox kids and things like that. I'm moving the channel into more all geek culture as it was originally intended rather than just being about superheroes and stuff like that. I know I've done a lot of Ghostbusters videos on this channel. Ghostbusters still qualifies as superhero related or superhero adjacent. Same with pulp heroes like the phantom the shadow and the rocket here they are all superhero adjacent and I want to do more other geek culture related stuff. You know we've got 90s con that's out now so I want to do more with other tv series that I grew up on and movies and books and but still continue to bring you guys pop reviews action figure reviews comic books stuff like that. It's just very difficult to be to have a reliable schedule right now with video releases because I am currently working on my master's degree and I'm a substitute teacher on top of that plus family life so I'm I'm basically stuck just filming when I have free time which is rarely nowadays. I do have another year and a half left on my master's degree then I'll be a full-time counselor and I may I'll likely have a little bit more time to produce content for this channel and my other channels. I have been producing a little bit of content for one of my other channels it's the my SM cornthwaite channel. I've been doing a lot of mental health and goth oriented videos and then I've got psych macabre which I have not done and a full length video on in well over a year dealing with serial killers true crime paranormal and stuff like that. I really need to get get back into and then I've got my vlogging channel that I've been filming stuff for but have not been able to get around to editing and publishing yet. So I'm currently on a two-week break from school in between quarters so I'm going to try to get out at least as many videos as I can while also taking a break from work in school. So anyway hope you guys enjoyed this video. Take care Geeks. If you enjoyed that video make sure you check out one of these two playlists for more videos just like the one you just watched. I've been Shane and this has been Comic NTV the only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides. Take care Geeks.
