Default The way they promote the DVDs is ridiculous

Like I get that Steve Urkel played a huge focus for Family Matters but he wasn't even the first season that much, so why the need for him to be in the front of the cover as if it was The Urkel Show?

I wouldn't be surprised if the cast was pissed off about that

Agreed! Not only that, but they have the wrong Judy on the cover. The actress who played her character in the 1st episode was on the cover. They should have just had Steve standing next to the Winslows for the 1st 2 season covers.

Because when you think of Family Matters the first person you think of is the steve urkel character.

Well if she played in the 1st ep of season 1 that's why she is on the cover

Nah. That was laziness IMO. They failed to search harder to find an accurate pic of the cast. That pic would lead on to believe that Valerie Jones was on the show for the duration of the season. How in the world did they get away with that mess?

Regarding Jaleel White plastered on the cover, it obviously was a ploy in advertising to get people to buy the DVD. I do understand that. However, I don't like it and agree with the other poster that says that he should have been featured with the others or they should have made his image a bit smaller.

I think since it was 2 Judy's that season they had to choose the 1st one. They couldn't both be on the cover LOL

Exactly! That was ignorance on their part. They could have found another picture cover. People will be saying "Where is she? Does Valerie Jones only appear on the first episode?"

If full house had used the first Danny Tanner from the pilot on the DVD cover for season one, people would have been up in arms.

Well I guess it's the same reason why the 2nd Lionel of the Jeffersons is not on the season 2 Cover

Because it wasn't in the 1st couple of eps

I still think they were being a bunch of lazy behind people. They found a group pic for season two.
