Is Stefan Urquelle an answer to Jaleel White wanting to grow up? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I know that Jaleel White wanted to grow out of Steve Urkel in the mid-90's, but when he became Stefan Urquelle...was that an answer to Jaleel White wanting to be more adult?

Yeah, probably. It would become more and more difficult for Jaleel to do Steve (as much as he still did a good job until the end), so he would have seen Stephan as a reason to relax a bit.

I wonder who's idea it was for him to play another of Steve's cousins during one episode in the final season. I like how that episode ended. I love when he called Carl "Mr. W.".

God bless you always!!!

When Urkel was a twerp, he looked cute as the nerd. When he was man-sized with obvious muscles, it was really ridiculous and freaky. Instead of the Urquel competition, they should have made Urkel become more of a sophisticated nerd and somewhat normal so it would be realistic that Laura would fall for him.

They kind of did that in the last season, when Steve for example stopped wearing his iconic suspendors. But it was too much and too all by a sudden, in my opinion. And it was annoying to see Steve do all those changes to please Laura, when he already had a devoted girlfriend in Myra.

That makes the most sense.

Yeah, it does make the most sense. Unfortunately, however, it's not really Miller-Boyett's style. When it comes to producing television content, Miller-Boyett just prefers to go all out to be hammy and over the top.
