Steve Urkel & Laura Winslow Would Never Last As A Couple - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 05-08-2011, 12:17 AM

In case you’ve forgotten, this is how Family Matters ends: NASA buys one Steve Urkel’s inventions, and he goes into space with them to test it. Of course, his gizmo malfunctions. Urkel nearly dies, but astronauts save him. And when our nasal hero returns to Earth, he’s a big hero. He and Laura share a kiss, and we’re to assume the girl and her nerd live happily ever after from there. Let’s be real, though: The minute everyone else stops worshiping Urkel, Laura will come back to her senses and remember why he repulses her.

Steve and Laura are the worst couple in sitcom history.

Somebody's jealous. I think that Steve and Laura will last as a couple since they started off as friends. They were friends before they became lovers. I think and Steve and Laura was the best couple in TV history. Stop hating

In a humorous future of the Family Matters characters thread I've came across before, Steve Urkel eventually DOES cut Laura loose once he becomes CEO of his own science research company, and FINALLY realizes he need not be tied down to one woman, as he can now get any woman on the planet (much like his alter ego Stefan), so Laura haters will LOVE this (unfortunately, Myra also ends up old and alone, but at least she doesn't end up in an abusive relationship like Laura does in this story):

Steve and Laura should have just stayed friends. And I hate whatever I want to.

nicole7477 · 12-23-2013, 11:52 AM

Furienna, everybody knows that you hate Laura Winslow with a passion, so it's no wonder why you don't like seeing them together. And yes, you ARE a hater. I think that Steve and Laura will make a good couple. You're just mad because Steve have Laura instead of Myra. Keep on hating. I knew that they will end up together long before Season 9. You're just a Laura hater who probably want Steve for herself.

Furienna · 12-23-2013, 04:51 PM

Correction: I don't really hate Laura Winslow. I think she's shallow, bitchy and full of herself, but I don't know if I hate her. After all, she had a few good episodes. What I do hate though is how the writers had to shoehorn her and Steve together like that. Ugh...

rpm31 · 12-23-2013, 07:17 PM

I agree with furienna. There was nothing in seasons 7-8 (other than the kiss in "Dream Date") that suggested Laura would end up falling for Steve. It was kind of sudden in the last season. Laura could have gotten any guy she wanted, and I'm sure there were plenty of other guys who would have loved her for her (who weren't just trying to get in her pants), yet she somehow ends up falling for Steve, after years of making it clear he was not his type and she'd never go out with him. Myrtle did not get Eddie, but her ending was a lot more realistic, and between her, Steve, and Myra, Myrtle got the best ending out of the three because she was the only stalker who finally let her target crush go.

nicole7477 · 12-24-2013, 02:59 PM

Furriena, true, she was a shallow bitch who treated Steve like crap IN THE BEGINNING, but in later seasons, she changed her attitude and realize that Steve was the one for him. I think that on the down low, she really liked Steve, and that's why she was jealous of seeing Steve with anybody else. She just don't want to admit that she likes Steve because he's a nerd, and her being popular in school, dating a nerd will ruin her reputation. I think that Steve and Laura make a good couple at the end of the day, and I'm not going to change my mind. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but I personally think that they were meant to be since they have a history together. I've been watching Family Matters since it came out in late 1989 (I'm 36), and even though Laura always say that she doesn't want to have anything to do with him, I had this feeling that they will end up together, and mind you, this was WAAAAAY before Season 9, so in my opinion, I think the writers did a great job. I like seeing black couples.

nicole7477 · 12-24-2013, 03:09 PM

Um, I have to disagree with you. There were some very tiny hints of Laura falling for Steve in the future WAY before Season 9, but it wasn't as blatant as Season 9, and Season 9 brought it to fruition. Like I told Furriena, I think that she liked Steve on the down low but doesn't want to ruin her reputation since she was popular in her school. If she didn't like him a little bit, then she wouldn't be jealous of seeing Steve with other women. You have to understand that when you are a popular girl in school, it's like a rule that you are not suppose to date someone that's socially awkward and nerdy, and Steve fit that bill, and as a popular person in school, you're not suppose to date someone that's at the bottom of the social ladder.
Even if Laura said that she will never ever ever fall for him, deep down inside, she liked him, but care too much about what other people think to show it. Even Maxine made fun of her for liking Steve Urkel in Season 9. I like Steve and Laura together. Laura is proof that people do mature and change with time. It seems to me that you and Furriena don't think that Laura deserves a good man like Steve and will like to see her old and alone. I think that Laura made a wise choice to choose Steve over Stephan, and it shows that she matured and not shallow like she used to back then. She was an adult. Give her a break. Yes, she was a bitch to Steve in junior high and high school, but as she got older, she changed. You should get her some props.

Neutronman67 · 12-25-2013, 09:11 PM

Steve and Laura would have more problems then other married people Steve would be ready to fight any guy that tried to talk with Laura, besides we find out in season 3 that steve urkel likes to play polka music late at night thats going to get on laura's nerves lol.

rpm31 · 12-25-2013, 09:33 PM

To be fair, Neutronman, by the time the last season rolled around, Steve had become more balanced that he probably would not play polka music at all hours of the day. In the final season, he was growing out of those interests somewhat, even though he obviously still did love polka. The man Laura fell in love with wasn't exactly the same person who annoyed her to no end early on.

nicole7477 · 12-26-2013, 01:04 AM

I agree with this post. It's all about balance. I don't think that he gave up polka all the way because he and Laura went to the polka festival, and at first, Laura didn't dig polka like that, but when she went to the polka festival, she started to like it for herself, and when she find out that Steve contribute a lot for the polka community, she fell for him a whole lot more, and it doesn't have anything to do with the way he dressed. Steve didn't force Laura to like polka. She liked polka on her own. It's about give and take.

Furienna · 12-26-2013, 05:27 AM

I'm sorry, but are we really supposed to believe that Laura started to like polka? That's just stupid!

cleverfun3000 · 12-26-2013, 10:48 AM

People can't help but compare Steve and Laura's relationsip in "Family Matters" to Professor Oglivy and Miss Parker in "The Parkers". Years of distain and crushing insults result in true love.
