Family Matters
In the fall of 1989, after two seasons on "Perfect Strangers", Harriette's character was given her own spin-off series, "Family Matters". Joining "Perfect Strangers" in the TGIF lineup, "Family Matters" eventually ran longer than its parent show. Harriette was not seen again on "Perfect Strangers", although an early "Family Matters" episode explained that she had been fired as the elevator operator, only to be re-hired as chief of security at the "Chronicle". Carl became a main character on "Family Matters".
