A genius and klutz, Steve makes some really weird inventions while driving the Winslows insane and having an unrequited crush on Laura, the Winslows middle child.
Originally, "Family Matters," a spin-off series of the successful "Perfect Strangers," was conceived to focus on the Winslows, a middle-class suburban Black family from Chicago. Harriet was the sarcastic elevator operator at the Chicago Chronicle newspaper while her portly husband Carl was a Chicago police sergeant; they had three children Eddie (14), Laura (12), and Judy (9). While somewhat successful in its early months on the air, "Family Matters" didnt become a true hit until the appearance of the Winslows next-door neighbor kid, Steve Urkel. The bespectacled Urkel, complete with high-pitched voice and suspenders, was the ultimate nerd who had an unrequited crush on Laura. His well-meaning but clumsy ways, in addition to countless backfiring contraptions and visits at inopportune times, caused no end of grief for Eddie, Laura, and especially Carl; Harriet, however, was more understanding. Also a part of the action were Harriets recently widowed sister Rachel Crawford (she operated a local hangout, Rachels Place) and her son Richie; Carls mother Estelle; Eddies slow-witted pal Waldo; Lauras friend Maxine; and Myra Monkhouse, a beautiful teenager with a huge crush on Urkel. As the years went on, Urkel developed a special transformation chamber to allow himself to change into suave Stefan Urquelle, for whom Laura fell; it was a way for the nerd to finally win the object of his affection. Laura eventually got to appreciate Urkels company and eventually, fell in love with him. Carl was eventually promoted from sergeant to lieutenant, finally attaining the rank of captain. In later years, Urkel moved in with the Winslows (when his parents abandoned him when they moved to Russia); and Carl and Harriet (long after their daughter, Judy, disappeared from the scene without explanation) adopted 3J, a local orphan who was friends with Richie. While many episodes seemed to focus on Urkel and Carl, a number of shows explored serious topics, including gangs, police brutality, teenage drinking, and guns in school. The show ran on ABC from 1989 through 1997 as a cornerstone of that networks TGIF programming block; it and "Step by Step," another TGIF series, switched to CBS for both series final season.
