There were way too many jumping the shark moments done in Family Matters, especially the last season when the show was picked up by CBS:

Getting rid of half the family (Judie been gone, but Rachael, the grandma)
Getting a new boy in 3J
NEW HARRIETTE COMING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON.
The whole marriage proposal scenario (Laura accepted Steve's engagement ring because he threatened to move to Russia...some BS)
The fact that the wedding never happened.....that should've been the final episode.


I don't hate the fact the show got Urkel-centered, because the show was going to be cancelled in the 2nd season if the producers didn't take that risk.

CBS tried theirs own version of TGIF called the cbs block party. It failed miserably. Family matters and step by step were trash at that point and shows like meego and the Gregory Hines show suffered because of it.

I never understood that either. That nigga had to transform himself to get with the woman of his dreams. Yet, Myra (probably the finest sitcom woman of all time) loved Steve for who he was. Then in the end, Laura finally decided to choose Steve instead smh

I can't forget when Eddie got beat up by the Dragons on Family Matters

Aint eddy end up wifin up superhead.
Them dragons fucked that nigga head up for real

I feel like twitter would have found Urkel's persistence "problamatic" or something like that...and the think pieces would fly.
