Michael - Because he's a guy and it's worse for a guy to act all prissy and pain in the a** than a girl!

Well, not Michael, his favorite horror flick is The Boogens, so he's cool in my book.

To me, Michael was nothing but a white Steve Urkel. I know "Newhart" premiered before "Family Matters"...I'm just using that as a comparison.

Stephanie for sure.

I always found Michael quite funny. Even though I also thought he was a dumb yuppie.

Neither, they're both funny characters, with Stephanie being the most hilarious character of the entire series.

Urkel was the nerdiest of all nerds, while Michael was the yuppiest of all yuppies.

Michael wasn't accident prone like Urkel. Bad ideas? Yes. Clumsy? No.

To me, Michael and Stephanie are both extremely annoying. Stephanie is very self-centered and cries when she doesn't get her way. Michael slightly surpasses Stephanie, especially in the later episodes when he loses his job and ends up in a sanitarium. But he gets his life back together when he marries Stephanie and becomes general manager of WPIV after the Vanderkellens buy the station for baby Stephanie.

But what makes Michael more annoying is he is also a crybaby like Stephanie and speaks in alliterations. He's also very shallow and hyper tense.

Both there parts are Written to be Annoying acting ! That's what Bob feeds off of +-

Seems everyone on the show is annoying except for Bob, & Joanna for the most part.
Both Bob & Joanna are the only normal characters in the show +-

I think Michael's acting is actually pretty good - in the show he goes from the executive business man to the weirdo yuppie to the psycho ward and to many other places !

Steph is not bad at all in her acting as well, when she acts coy and sly and persuasive (even indirectly sexy) it's in a clever way- (I like her in the the Seeing Double episode) & she may act as the most spoiled character ever on a Sit Com +- And when she actually blows her lid and YELLS much out of the normal Steph character I think it's hilarious !

I find Michael More Annoying so he wins the acting annoying award +-
