Jo Marie is the reason family matters even existed. When they say she was upset at how they basically turned the show from her family into Urkel and all his antics I can see why. I hate she left the show she was the foundation.
And this is the only time throughout the series that the characters from Perfect Strangers ever reunited. Pretty sad that this is the last few episodes of Hariett Winslow.
Jo Marie didn’t leave Family Matters because of Urkel’s increased focus. She said so herself that she wanted to do other projects outside of the show, but the producers wouldn’t allow her until her contract was up for renewal and once it was time, she left and was replaced.
@@henrybryant4900 And it's a beautiful thing for Harriett to stand up for all her coworkers and herself. She didn't deserve to be fired, however I'm glad it happened because she took that man's job in a heartbeat.
You guys are so slow. I am twenty-nine years old and as someone who's watched both shows back in the 2000s and knew who JoMarie was, this was already a revelation to me very early in my life. You all should be ashamed.
This would of been a perfect way of write hariette out instead of replacing her you could say that after getting Brenner job and she gets promoted to district or even regional which means she have to be on the move alot that would explain her absence carl
When I was a small child Harriet honestly scared me because I always felt like she was always mad but now as an adult I realize that she was always just fighting for whats right. She is so inspiring.
I love the fact Hariette's boss is played by Mark Linn Baker. Mark Linn Baker starred in 'Perfect Strangers', which was the show that Jo Marie Payton's character of Hariette first appeared as an elevator operator. She made such an impression in her role that they gave her her own show. That's where 'Family Matters' started. It's fun to see them together again!
I liked Mark Linn-Baker's Perfect Strangers character a lot more. Larry Appleton had some issues. For example, he was often uptight and sometimes acted selfishly, but overall, he was a very kind person. The character he played in this episode of Family Matters is an absolute jerk.
@@laurenalan423 Mark is playing a different role in this episode? I thought Mark is reprising his role from Perfect Strangers but in a villainess way.
@@laurenalan423yeah he wasn’t a jerk in perfect strangers. He had some flaws and Balki had to be the morally right character but Marks character was pretty cool.
I remember when I fired a guy who used to emotionally and verbally abuse my employees with him using his power as a boss. As his boss I decided to fire him the moment I heard complaints about him and caught him in the act.
It may be late in the game but I just got to say it, I love Harriet's interaction with Mr Ferguson and Carl in the end scene it's hilarious! How she is very casual with Mr Ferguson I'm in playfully fools Carl into thinking that that she didn't get a job back, but got the jerks job instead! I miss a lot of the show but I haven't seen it in so long it's hard to remember my favorites, but sadly most of them do not include Steve urkel
Right there with Claire Huxatble and the Original Aunt Vivian banks and Roseanne and Florida Evans Lisa Landry and Louise "Wheezie" Jefferson Aunt Esther .
Nick Nedermeyer was an another example of one of Harriette Winslow's toxic employers. The guy is a chauvinistic jerk. Who in my opinion will never change.
Exactly I agree Harriet didn't beat around the bush or sugar coat nothing she meant what she said and said what she meant and she put people in their place real quick . I missed her being on the show .
@@a.b.s_productions that's true but he directed perfect strangers and family matters and all the shows snice Harriette Winslow was perfect strangers back in 1987 to 1989 before her spin off show from perfect strangers
Harreitte is my favorite character on Family Matters. One of the rare television mothers that didn't turn into a shrew like so many others. She doesn't get a lot of credit like Claire Huxtable.
Not exactly: It’s true that bad bosses like this are RARELY called out on their atrocious behavior, much less held accountable for it; but that doesn’t mean that situations like this episode NEVER happen in reality. There ARE real-life occasions, however rare, when people like Mr. Banner are either CALLED OUT and/or PUNISHED (either by demotion or termination) for abusing both their power and employees. All it takes is one worker courageous enough to call them out directly and quit, or to quietly gather evidence of the boss’s misdeeds, send it to the higher ups, and watch the storm unfold. The reason this doesn’t happen more often? 1) Most workers are reluctant to speak up for fear of retaliation; 2) they can’t afford to quit their jobs; 3) HR or the higher-ups don’t care enough about the employees (if at all) to do anything; or 4) the bad boss has friends in high places who protect him or her.
@@matthewcardoza1190One other thing that tends to happen in IRL is that a boss like Mr. Banner drives away all the competent employees who find other, better jobs, while the company itself falls on its butt.
Not really rising up against your boss actually has benefits. Doom and gloom is how you have society fall so what you said is actually your own projection of what you do
This is what a LOT of bosses and organizations need. Employees that will stand up to management when they are in the wrong. Just because you're a "TOP DOG" at a company doesn't give you the right to treat your employees any kind of way. Your success as a leader is dependent upon them.
Thats what “bosses” need to hear, being cruel, harsh and disrespectful may feel good to them but to the people they are over causes problems and emotional distress maybe worse like suicidal thoughts & depression, its important to know when to stand up to a bully especially if they’re your boss
There’s a difference between someone pushing you to be your best and getting off on pointing out the shortcomings of others, like a kid in a candy store
As someone who dealt with a toxic boss. I agree. I was part of a janitorial crew working in a warehouse, my original lead went on maternity leave and was replaced by someone I was acquainted with. Things were okay at first but she started turning real toxic immediately. Started going far beyond the work we were originally assigned for Inconveniencing a lot of the other team members. She started favoring this one girl as her stand out. Her star Employee while she singled me out. Simply because I was a guy, The only guy on the crew at the time. It got to a point where she turned totally toxic Forcing me to do the harder tasks because of the fact that I was a man. And in her mind, because she was christian she believed she did nothing wrong. But Ultimately, karma caught up with her. She was called into the office And never came back obviously She was let go., Point of the story, karma catches up with everybody Especially the most toxic ones When they least expect it.
One of my favorite episodes. She stood up to him when the other employees were afraid to. He treated them like trash, and at the end of the episode although she quitted. They call her back and asked her to comeback cause they liked her and her attitude. Family Matters is also one of the very few African American tv shows to last up to 10 seasons 88-98 (which is very rare)
I admire the courage that Harriette has to stand up to her boss, cause that's the kind of person who cant put up with being harrassed at her job, and insulting her employees and messing with her, cause they aint right. Cause u should treat others like the way you want to be treated. But Im so glad that they fired her boss Mr. Benner and shes now the head buyer at her company Furgensen's. #@ stand up for whats right #@ defend yourself #@ self respect
This pretty much felt to me like a full circle close to Harriette's arc and as I recall was the last episode to fully center on Harriette as a character, and as such was one of the last "great" episodes of the show. The fact that it was Mark Linn Baker as her boss, who was on Perfect Strangers the show that spun off Family Matters made it all the more poignant.
Yeah which is really odd since Family Matters was a spinoff of Perfect Strangers by way of Harriette originally being the elevator operator at the Chronicle newspaper where Larry and Balki worked. When I saw this clip I initially thought that was supposed to be Larry Appleton until Harriette said his name.
I love Janet Hubert too especially the episode where Will and Carlton were taken into police custody. She and James Avery(Uncle Phil) were about to beat those cops ' butts for racially profiling their boys
Good show and this episode tackled office and Corporate bullying and abuse. Which probably goes on daily , but not brought to light. We need more old school shows like this.
One of my favorite scenes with Harriette, love that she put him in his place and quit. They way he degraded them pissed me the hell off. When she said "I quit, that felt better" I cheered my heart out for her.
You can't fake chemistry. Watching Ms. JoMarie and Mr. Linn-Baker took me back to September of 1987 when they first shared the screen together on the mother show, "Perfect Strangers". Same goes with Ms. JoMarie and Mr. VelJohnson.
Wish this was the way it actually plays out in real life. In real life you will have your parting check and your things in a box, but it is always worth it to stand up for what is decent.
Ooo I love it! I thought i had seen every episode, somehow i missed this one...(or just don't remember). And yes it DOES feel good to quit a horrible job! 😄
@@ryanloftis1125Me! And as a life long Chicagoian, I know exactly where they were employed at the Chicago Chronicle. It used to be downtown, but it's gone out of business now.
Even though this show may have seemed like a silly TV sitcom to some people it did have its fair share of feel good moments. And despite the hilarity this show did manage to embrace several issues.
Odd to see Mark Linn-Baker playing a different character in the Family Matters universe since FM originally spun off of Perfect Strangers where Harriette worked at the Chronicle with Larry and Balki.
Just a hard working mother taking care of her family this is what the world needs more of family matters one of TV best sitcoms ever appreciate you guys thanks job well done you should be amazed and proud love you guys thanks ! Joe
Family Matters was a spinoff of the show Perfect Strangers. Mark Linn Baker was one of the lead characters. It is a pleasant surprise to see him as a different character in the show. PS I always loved Harriett in Family Matters. She was the backbone of the family. ❤
This is I believe the second of two times where Harriette gets a positive outcome in the workplace after taking a stand. The first time happened in the episode "Two Family Income" when she fights to get a security job at the Chronicle. Both instances end with a scene on the phone that has Harriette doing such a good job at acting that the audience expects a negative outcome only to be surprised.
This same thing happened one time at my workplace where the boss made fun of a woman's looks after making fun of a guy's looks. We were all so disgusted and shocked he went there that he was fired at the end of the day.
What's confusing about this is that Family Matters and Perfect Strangers are in the same universe, yet Mark is Larry in Perfect Strangers. But he's Mr. Banner in Family Matters.
Jo Marie is the reason family matters even existed. When they say she was upset at how they basically turned the show from her family into Urkel and all his antics I can see why. I hate she left the show she was the foundation.
And this is the only time throughout the series that the characters from Perfect Strangers ever reunited. Pretty sad that this is the last few episodes of Hariett Winslow.
That’s the same thing that happened with Good Times, when JJ and his foolishness became the staple of the show.
Jo Marie didn’t leave Family Matters because of Urkel’s increased focus. She said so herself that she wanted to do other projects outside of the show, but the producers wouldn’t allow her until her contract was up for renewal and once it was time, she left and was replaced.
That's WHY she left the series because it turned into urkel and his friends.
Steve saved the show they were around season 2 when they were on the verge of being cancelled.
Benner: “You’re fired. Ohh, that felt good”
Harriett: “I quit!. That felt bettah.”
The reason her boss fired her is because she called him out on his poor management job and the way he treats people that’s just real talk.
Her boss is a tyrant

Yep, Capt. Carl Winslow!!!

No doubt he also got in trouble with the police for not taking care of his outstanding parking tickets he got
Yes god works in mysterious ways that’s the way to do it. What Harriet did standing up to her boss was no insubordination that was a open door policy.

Harriet Winslow one of the most underrated characters in sitcom history! She was a kick ass mom! 🤟
Just like Phylicia Rashad as Claire Huxtable in The Cosby Show she another 90s TV sitcom mom that didn't take crap from anybody
So was Aunt Viv.
That she ended up getting his job was poetic justice.

The Origin of the "Im about to end this man's career." Meme
so glad i grew up with this kinda tv
Just a hard working mother taking care of her family this is what the world needs more of family matters one of TV best sitcoms ever appreciate you guys thanks job well done you should be amazed and proud love you guys thanks ! Joe
NOW THAT’S AUNT HARRIET!!!! ❤
Family Matters was a spinoff of the show Perfect Strangers. Mark Linn Baker was one of the lead characters. It is a pleasant surprise to see him as a different character in the show. PS I always loved Harriett in Family Matters. She was the backbone of the family. ❤
This is I believe the second of two times where Harriette gets a positive outcome in the workplace after taking a stand. The first time happened in the episode "Two Family Income" when she fights to get a security job at the Chronicle. Both instances end with a scene on the phone that has Harriette doing such a good job at acting that the audience expects a negative outcome only to be surprised.
Mr. Derick Benner was such a great heel character that Harriette really stood up against.
We need more people like her.
It's funny how this scene starts off with him congratulating her to firing her.
I sure miss em ol days waitin for this show n Marie Jo givin us Strong Mother vibes on CBC Canada
This same thing happened one time at my workplace where the boss made fun of a woman's looks after making fun of a guy's looks. We were all so disgusted and shocked he went there that he was fired at the end of the day.
I miss seeing a tv show with two parents in it! 😭
Parents who actually have great chemistry with each other.
I miss seeing reality with two parents in it. 😭
@@wturner777 everything is about momma
🥲🥲
How Come Carl Didn't Tell Him Off?
Carl and Harriet should have done the Dance of Joy to bring things full circle.
Got a brand new job. Benner’s!
What's confusing about this is that Family Matters and Perfect Strangers are in the same universe, yet Mark is Larry in Perfect Strangers. But he's Mr. Banner in Family Matters.
And Jesse's cousin in law in full house
That was AMAZING!
The mistake Harriette made was saying she quit. Let them pay that unemployment!
