Family Matters 

A spinoff of the popular ABC sitcom, Perfect Strangers about a black Chicago family, the Winslows and their family matters, hence the show's name. In later seasons the central character was Stephen Q. Urkel, the next door neighbor and nerd who forever had a crush on Laura Winslow. His character was brilliant but socially inept and clumsey. The Urkel character appeared in the first season as a one time role but reappeared as a main character after his huge popularity. In the show's last episode (due to its cancellation), Steve was engaged to Laura but disappeared into outter space on a NASA mission. It is not known wheather he and Laura married or not.
Family Matters was a nice family sitcom with no vices and one of the few clean shows on television.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
