i just saw the Season 7 episode of SBS "A Star is Born" and Jaleel White makes an appearance here at 0:44 very briefly. Is he trying to act like Steve? Or just someone random?

His appearance in that episode was part of a CBS Friday block party. He made a guest appearance on Step by Step and the other CBS show called Meego after Family Matters at that time in 1997.

He made 2 appearances on SBS. The first was in season 1 when he landed in their yard on the picnic table. The second appearance was part of a CBS block party when he appeared on all the shows that evenings.

I stopped watching Family Matters by this time, I used to watch it every friday in college but when it left ABC and moved to CBS I was done

I think once I started college and met new friends, I just started recording Family matters because I was never in the house on a friday night from 1995 to 1998 like I was from 1989 to 1992. Then I think I was tired of recording it and just said the hell with it.

I also saw the last season eps was airing on a Friday night in July on CBS and who the hell was watching those eps???-lol

it makes perfect since hawkeye123 he was trying to act like steve urkle because by 1997 the whole world new who steve urkle was by having him on step by step for a couple seconds it would remind people to tune in to watch family matters on TGIF.

It just seemed so random/brief that people could easily miss him if he blinked. I wasn't sure if it was intended to be a crossover appearance, or just Jaleel White, but the glasses were a bit of a giveaway...oh and I guess my brother and I were the only ones watching season 9 on CBS when were in 3rd/4th grade, but of course we didn't have cable so there wasn't much else on or anything to do at that age.

Yup the crossover was definitely was intentional. Well you were a new viewer of the show in 98 and at your age in 1998 it made sense that you watched. Me on the otherhand who started watching the show at the age of 14 in 1989 on ABC, you should clearly understand why I was done with the show at 23 once it moved to CBS:lol:

Because it became a cartoon?? :rotflmao:

If you weren't busy with your College friends, and maybe the show moved to Wednesdays, would you have watched all the episodes as they aired, as awful as some of them were?

Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays seemed to be the nights on my campus that were the times to be with your friends. So if the show had aired on Sunday to Wednesday I may have been watching like I did with Martin and Fresh Prince

So it was scheduling that kept you from watching the later years of the show. You probably would have continued watching if you were home more during the '95-'98 era.

I was programming my VCR to record the show in 1994-96 and would go out with my friends. I don't remember why I stopped programming my VCR to record the show in 1997 and 98

The last episode I remember recording from ABC was the one when Waldo was in a mexican jail in January of 1996
