When you think of Steve Urkel, you think he is so animated that he would make a great cartoon series? Therefore, could his character and the Winslow family come back as animated characters? Jaleel White answered that very question on Twitter, “Couldn’t agree more 💯 Animated series was pitched and rejected by the show’s original producers. Steve’s inventions made it all a cartoon by today’s TV standards but they didn’t see it that way 🤷🏽♂️ Thanks for the support. Check us out on @hulu.”
I think the producers are making a huge mistake because if anyone can take on The Simpsons and Family Guy, it is Family Matters. Best part, we do not have deal with older versions of the characters we know and love. They can be just the way were. Who wants a 40-year-old Urkel when he could still be that nerdy teen driving everyone crazy?
Especially since White based his character after Ed Grimley and Martin Short turned that dream into one of animation gold.
Would you like to see Family Matters: The Cartoon?
