Rejoice, children who grew up on '90s television!

Family Matters' Carl and Harriette Winslow (played by Reginald VelJohnson and Jo Marie Payton) are reuniting for Lifetime's The Flight Before Christmas.

This mini-reunion brings back fond memories of one of our favorite family sitcoms from that Friday night block of TGIF shows back in the day.

Harriette was played by a different actress in the last season of Family Matters, so this is the first time the series' stars are reuniting since the second-to-last season of the show, which ran from 1989 to 1998.

To celebrate, we're looking back at some of the adorable moments that remind us why Carl and Harriette were so perfect for each other.

ABC

1. There's the time Harriette walked in on her husband busting a move to a music video, and without question, immediately joined in on the dance party.

2. That romantic moment when Carl lands the chance to be in a movie, but feels too guilty kissing the lead actress, because he loves his wife too much. Aww!

ABC

3. When Harriette plans a family vacation at the lake Carl always wants to visit, so she can surprise him with the fact that they're finally going where he wants to go.

4. Or when the couple shakes their groove thing in formal wear at the precinct's annual dance contest. Things get even sweeter when Harriette praises her hubby for being a good sport after he settles for a tie with his dance-off competitor.

5. Don't forget about the time Harriette keeps Carl from killing Steve for hitting him with a newspaper, or saying he crashed a car in their living room, or just every time Harriette keeps Carl from killing Steve.

6. That episode when Carl tries his best to cheer up the family after Harriette and the other ladies of the family go bald after a shampoo scam.

7. And that moment when Carl forgives Harriette after she gets super-jealous of his attractive new beat partner, Vanessa. "Don't you know that you are the only woman in the world for me?" The. Cutest.

Speaking of sitcom nostalgia, watch as Candace Cameron-Bure dishes on Fuller House...
