Crazy The Myrtle Urkel Show was suppose to happen back in 1998

I heard something about Jaleel White wanted to do a Spin-Off called The Mytle Urkel Show right after Family Matters was canceled back in july of 1998 but he changed his mind i guess he did not want to go threw the humiliation again dressing up in a drag lol, i dont see how this Spin-Off could have worked out Myrtle did not bring anything to the show i sometimes skip the episodes she appeared in on Family Matters lol, i guess if the Spin-Off was made it would be mostly about her attempt to find ways to get Eddie to go out with her on dates, couden't the producers find a real girl to play Myrtle instead of a guy creepy lol.

Yeah she was not looking for the same thing as Steve Urkel, Steve Urkel wanted a relationship and friendship with Laura and maybe some good kissing when out on dates, Myrtle was looking for love in all the wrong places, just imagine if Myrtle and Eddie got married and had children they would most likely end up looking like trolls or worse Steve Urkel a creepy thought lol.

It would have certainly been an interesting spin-off.

Myrtle's character alone carried the show through a couple seasons.

That's right, Neutronman. Unlike Steve to Laura, I don't think Myrtle respected Eddie at all. She only "loved" him because, to her, he was good looking.

Yeah but she got worse treatment from Eddie because deep down in his soul he knew Myrtle was not really female but a guy in a ugly drag pretending to be a woman yuck, Darius was not acting look at his facial expressions, Darius looks really freaked out seeing jaleel white as Myrtle lol.

How do you know that Darius was freaked out? Where are you getting these facts from? This sounds like your opinion. Plus, the purpose of Jaleel playing a female was to how a female twin counter for Eddie as Steve was to Laura.

Thomas E i have been on SitcomsOnline.com for 2 years now most people know that some of the things i say are either facts or theories its up for the people who read my posts to decide on this website, Darius was a man he did not look like he wanted to be around Jaleel as a man in a drag dress its kinda awkward, the most awkward times for Darius was when Myrtle character tried to kiss him.

They are professional actors. Plus, Whether Darius wanted to kiss her or not, Myrtle was ugly! That's probably why Eddie did not want to kiss her. Besides, I highly doubt that an actual kiss would have been arranged. That once again is your opinion so you can't keep saying its a fact unless you can back it up. I'm sure that Darius is a professional actor that can do his job.

I could see this happening as a Saturday Morning type kid's show. Similar to "Hey Vern It's Ernest" that aired from 1987-1989. With Myrtle being the host and doing all kinds of wacky random things.
