Irkle. No body cares about family matters.

This nicca. He wants to focus on how it came to pass. How about how it came to BE? Family Matters was originally a show with an ENSEMBLE cast (no one was the star) about a Black middle-class family. Then this one comes along and they turn the it into a clown show all about him.

They did the same thing with the show Good Times. It was originally about a low-income family and the challenges they faced until they brought in Jimmy Walker and turned it into a clown show.

Fuc Urkel and everything he stands for.

^^^^^Congratulations on knowing your Black tv history. Jaleel White and Jimmy Walker defined what yt thought was funny about our culture and the only behavior that counted was buffoonery. Black people boycotted Good Times when John Amos quit but nobody ever mentions that.

They can just reboot it wit Sidney Starr & Eddie Winslow.
Call it “Tranny Matters.”

It took him decades to get rid of that character in order to get work. He doesn't want to relive that part of his past. Now he wants to be identified as a grown man.
Still hard on the eyes even with the worked-out body.
That part makes me a little moist. LOLO
What did they used to say back in the day?
Put a bag over the face and keep it moving. LOLO

This fool is tryna sell a memoir that he hopes will be turned into a show or series. I guess this is his marketing tool.

The book goes on sell Friday and you couldn't get me to borrow it from the library. Couldn't even pay me to read it.

You know what? Fuller House did good w/o the Olsen Twins tho, and Raven’s Home did good w/o Orlando Brown, so I think Family Matters will be ok w/o Urkel.

I might watch it if he's not in it.

@ 11:24 AM… 🤣🤣🤣
They can cast D Wade as Carl Winslows since Carl was @ dem Diddy freak offs & was a real life fruity patootie!
Kamala can play Judy Winslow since she’ll never be heard from again!

9:08 Good Times didn't 'bring in' Jimmy Walker. He was there from the beginning

@2:05 He was there from the beginning as part of an ensemble cast but like Urkel on Family Matters, he became the star of the (coon) show.

Thanks to both of y'all for keeping it right. I just looked up Good Times and didn't know it was a Normal Lear show and a spinoff of All in the Family. Ugh. Norman Lear helped normalize racism with his tv shows from the 70s.

Shout out to Jaleel for knowing when its over, its over. Great Show. Some shows dont ever need to come back as a reboot when the originals can be watched over and over

Jaleel believes he can follow in the footsteps of Fresh Prince and their successful spin-off of Bel Air. I see he's still an egotistical annoying guy and no one is interested in watching a show about his dorky life. Bye goofy.

Urkel wasnt really a buffoon. He was just clumsy! He had an IQ almost higher than Einstein's. He made straight A's!!! Thats a buffoon???

Face it! Family Matters was dry as hell before he entered the picture and was THIS close to cancellation. He saved everybody on that show from the unemployment office.
Yall wanna call him a buffoon while watching reruns of Martin, In Living Color and Sanford and Son.


Knock it off

4:50 Cheek Mills Would Make A Very Convincing WALDO FALDO : P
