Does Family Really Matter?
 

It sure does to the Winslow family(...and maybe brockman too)! That's right, this thread's dedicated to Family Matters! I remember the first time I ever watched Family Matters. It was a snowy November night in 1994 and Steven Q. Urkel had quite the wacky invention up his sleeve. Yadda, yadda, hilarity certainly ensued...and it was GLORIOUS!!

Alright, sorry. Now seriously, Family Matters was an annoyingly crappy show at best, but most of us probably watched and perhaps even enjoyed it at some point in time. So anyway, what started out as a stupid joke turned into a full fledged Family Matters "mock" (read: "fan") script, written by yours truly of course. jimbo...jim beam...whatever the hell he's called was my "creative consultant", and this script probably wouldn't have been very good without him.

Shut up, you!

so yea, here it is: Steve's the Name, Ladies My Game

Feel free to use this thread for whatever...make fun of family matters, make fun of me...i don't care. although it'd be nice if someone actually reads that script. jimbo says sexual favors can be given if necessary. :MrT:

You used MY webspace to upload a Family Matters fanscript?!

pfft, I don't care, knock yourself out

Laura: I think you left your “groove” in the kitchen. [Laugh track]

i used to LOVE Family Matters.

It was a okay show. Really sucked when ABC ended TGIF and Family Matters moved to CBS.

You know, Urkel is now a male swimsuit model. How disturbing is that.

so hey, whatever happened to judy? didn't they just get rid of her in the middle of the series or something?

Jaimee Foxworth left the show in 1993. I don't know why she left, but now she is a soft-core porn actress.

Nice.. she probabley has a move called like urkel does judy or something.

Now if you want to do the Steve Urkel Dance
All you have to do is hitch up your pants
Bend your knees and stick up your pelvis
I'm tellin you baby, it's better than Elvis

Now point your fingers up to the sky
And talk through your nose way up high
Spin and dip and jump and cavort
And finish it off with a laugh and snort

Do the urkel
Do the ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-ur-Urkel

Everybody
Do the Urkel Dance

Did Stephan suck or what? Myra Munkhouse was pretty awesome though.

Just to clarify, I don't really like Family Matters and that's not really some lame "fan" script. I wrote it to poke fun at the show for the most part.

Here's the description of the script:

"Steve's the Name, Ladies My Game"

Viewer Discretion is advised.

While Steve becomes more and more heartbroken over Laura's utter disgust for him, Carl arrests one of the biggest pimps in town. In a strange twist of events, this criminal enlists Waldo to be the temporary head of his establishment. Steve catches wind of this and decides he wants to work for Waldo so he can impress Laura and earn some money at the same time. And oh does hilarity insue.

Guest starring Full House Dad Bob Saget as "Busta Nutt" and Suzzane Somers as the "Older Woman"

I'd watch it...

my thoughts as sexy "creative consultant":

i’m not usually the one to gloat (or write reviews), in fact at one point i absolutely hated this script, but after finally reading the finished product last night i've gotta say, bmac did a great job with this script. overall it's a really clever and fun piece of writing that rarely ceases to amuse. the script is just filled to the roof with inspired flourishes and subtle touches that knock down the fourth wall and stomp all over it. bob saget playing a violent street pimp and the winslow’s youngest daughter judy (who disappeared halfway through the series) suddenly and casually appearing in a busy kitchen sequence are two of the best examples of this. aspects sacred to good writing like pacing and characterizations are surprisingly kept preserved as the characters heedlessly make their way through a barrage of events and jokes not quite suited for prime time television (or network tv at all really). the mockery of the studio audience is absolutely hysterical at times also. at various points of the script the audience literally takes over the script, making disparaging comments to the actors, charging the stage with intention to streak and beginning long repetitive sports chants in bored rebellion, it's all very inspired and fun. while not perfect by any stretch of the word (there are problems with plotting, dud jokes, etc), this mock script is still worth the time for anyone who enjoys subversive comedy wrapped in a deceptive little bow.

:MrT: :MrT: :MrT: :MrT:/ :MrT: :MrT: :MrT: :MrT: :MrT:

seriously more reviews, please. even negative ones are welcome. but they will make bmac cry. even more incentive, i suppose.

The grandma and Myra are both dead in real.

I read about 10 pages of it. Funny stuff.

Do one mocking Full House.

I remember first watching it on TGIF after Full House and liking it a lot. Actually, one of my strongest memories is watching it with my older cousin and her having to teach me what racism is. It was when the episode aired where Laura was pushing for a class on African history (I think), and somebody spray painted the word 'nigger' on her locker. I was really young and confused.
I loved that one Christmas episode when little Richie (that was his name, right?) wanted that stupid bear and "Santa" left it under the tree. Also the Christmas one when Steve breaks Laura's crystal present for her Mom and they switch roles or something.
Waldo was a good character. Cherie Johnson grew up to be wicked hot. I heard Judy left the show because she had a crack addiction...heh. I had the Steve Urkel board game as a kid, but don't remember the object of the game. I know it came with cardboard red glasses and the lyrics to the Urkel Dance.
Is my memory wrong or in the early episodes, when the front door opened it was in an apartment building or something, but then later when the door opened, it showed outside?

I still have my Steve Urkel coloring book. :-X

MsPennyCandy: how did they go about explaining what was on her locker? Did they say "a racial slur"?

Didn't this show use Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" as its theme song for the first season?

Used to love it when I was 10-14 years old. I'd probably think it's poo if I were to watch an episode today. I remember winning one of these in one of those claw-machines when the show started to fizzle out and they filled 'em with excess unsold dolls.

Don't remember what happened to it, though.

I liked this show a lot. I didn't see any of the last season when it was on CBS.

I used to watch this with my cousins. We caught it pretty often, and like with most other shows, we forgot to keep watching it. I hated Urkel, but I started to like him around the time Myra came around. Two episodes stick out in my mind. One where some punk brings a gun to the high school(?) and someone (Maxine?) gets shot, and another where Carl is sitting out on some frozen lake, I think with his son, and then Carl falls in the water and nearly freezes to death. I remember those two because I told my cousin "you know, the actors actually died in those scenes but were replaced with clones" and he believed me.

No, it showed the actual word in spray paint...it was a sad episode

Those Urkel dolls were awesome :thumbsup

I remember that episode. I was young and confused.
