I hate to crash the party, but I agree with Ice Cube when he said young Black kids playing square characters like Steve Urkel, ruined our young brothers image, and made a lot of Whites kids not have the same amount of respect they had for them in the past. I have to add shows like "Everybody Hates Chris", and the little dude that played Bernice Macs nephew on "The Bernie Mac Show", to the list, although these shows were successful. But I think Urkel lead the pack in this category. This was a complete different look from Will Smith "Fresh Prince of Be lair", and even Micheal Evans "Good Times" and Roger Thomas "What's Happening", who both played braniacs. Black kids didn't played nerd character until Urkel, although Rog came a little close to some. I read somewhere that Jaleel White regretted playing Urkel to this day. I don't know who felt the worst, him or Bob Denver, who said he got stuck with Gilligan...lol.
