Welcome to the Family with Telma and Kellie

This week, we reminisced about the amazing guests we had this season with some bonus clips we had to leave on the cutting room floor. But don't touch that dial- next week we'll rewatch the season 1 finale of Family Matters, "Rock Video," and talk with one final special guest: Eddie Winslow himself, Darius McCrary!
To kick off the podcast, Telma Hopkins (aka Aunt Rachel) and Kellie Williams (aka Laura Winslow) rewatch the pilot of "Family Matters" called "The Mama Who Came to Dinner" and remember how they each got cast on the show.
