Steven's family is going to Russia and Steven is trying to find a place to live and Eddie and Mr. Winslow were trying not to let him live with them. Mocking each other for saying think about it?
Eddie owned that scene and gave his father a taste of his own medicine by using the same sob story he gave out in an earlier scene. I bet Carl regretted his earlier words, while Harriette and Mother Winslow are impressed by this
I will never forget when I got my first car. It was an outdated POS, but it was MINE. And the first time I ever had to drive my dad somewhere in it, he told me to turn off the music I had on-and I told him “You always said when I had my own car I could play what I wanted!” And the look on his face was priceless.
His own biological father got him seats in PEASANT class. Carl was always a better father figure to Steve, even when he drove him crazy. Hell, Steve even saved his life. There was a very strong bond between the two of them
🕇Light's Øf The Sťorm🕇 was that a bitch always is good fun to come home to my birthday 🎁 is that a girl is so proud of her daddy daddy and she is the best girl I gotta is this year my birthday 🎁 was a good morning 🌞 was here a couple weeks before I had to get a new one ☝️ was the first time in a while so I got to go home 🏠 I was going to go to work I was just chilling and working with my kids to get home 🏠 was here last week so I’m coming to get my car 🚙 is that the good morning ☀️ was here at my Dog was you just got a ride and I was going down there 👇 is the way
if Carl didnt want him there he obviously couldve said no since Carl does love him like a son he wasnt gonna let him go to Russia. Probably make him sweat a little but he was gonna let him stay
When Eddie owned Carl using his own words... *_eternally priceless!!!_* But.. the fact that Carl didn't need much more persuasion just proved how much Steve and Carl bonded over the years....
But if he didn;t need persuasion, why did he studder like that?! And you would have thought Steve would have finally got it that Carl wasn;t fond of him just by that alone!
@@colleen4ever , actually, it is because of both Steve's propensity for accidents and his experiments backfiring in unexpected ways. Carl really does like him, just gunshy because of the two mentioned things above. Carl has admitted on more than one occasion he likes Steve.
@@colleen4ever , true. However, I think by then, considering that by this episode Steve had saved Carl's life at least four times.. and their friendship had survived some of the most bizarre adventures (including three times catching criminals together), I think that by then Steve would have known that Carl was going to cave or be convinced to.
They were supposed to have a season 10 episode where Herb and Diane visits Chicago for the first time since moving to Russia. Steve finally confronts them for the neglect they put him through and how hurt he was from how they treated him like crap. It's there, his issues with Herb and Diane finally comes to light to Carl and Harriette. Carl is feeling guilt over how he treated Urkel in his yelling at him and ordering him to go back to his own home. He realizes that Steve kept hanging around his family so much since the Winslows were the closest thing he had to having a loving family. Even Stefan notices this and feels terrible for his creator/brother. When Carl and Harriette confront Herb and Diane for the neglect, it's there the truth finally comes out. Herb reveals that he and Diane have been neglected all their lives by their own parents. He admitted came from a family with seven children: Amos(oldest brother, the favorite), Ernie(older brother), Muriel(older sister), Cecil, Dirk, Oona and Herb. Diane also came from a family where her parents favored her older brother, Cornelius. Thus, they never knew how to be proper parents and had a hard time with raising Steve. Once they moved to Russia, Herb and Diane noticed a few of the families there were cruelly treating their own children with the same neglect that they inflicted on him. It's there, the past mistreatment came back to haunt the two and soon guilt and remorse set in on them. When Steve went to visit them in Russia, Herb and Diane refused to see him. This was out of fear that it was too late for them to reconcile with him and that he has chosen the Winslows because they have the loving structure that he was lacking from Herb and Diane. With Carl, Harriette and Stefan's help, Steve, Herb and Diane reconcile.
It's not on the full on neglect and ignorance that Steve endured under Herb and Diane. Even Maxine could relate to this because of how her own parents treated her.
@@BillWalters-kx8sw but soon she started missing Steve Urkel. It's on the internet that she missed Steve Urkel and eventually she grew to like him. Though he might not have been the person who people didn't like, Laura always came to his defense. Especially when her brother Eddie tries to write him off as a friend.
@@BillWalters-kx8sw exactly. The last episode was lost in space part 2. Steve and Laura made plans to get married once he returned. I really miss family matters
Everyone talking about Eddie twisting his dad's words, but why is no one talking about how awesome Eddie was in this scene. Yeah, he was being petty, but the fact that he was willing to use Carl's own words against him just so Steve could stay DESPITE being indecisive on whether or not Steve could live with him earlier shows how much he values Steve as a friend.
Steve moving in with the Winslows and in effect, living with Laura was the writing on the wall that Steve's relationship with Myra was effectively over.
Not exactly. Steve and Myra stayed together throughout seasons 7 and 8. Laura started dating Curtis around that time. Still Steve and Myra endured, and soon Stefan became a separate person for her to be with. It was his makeover in season 9's Out With the Old, that began a series of disagreements between them and Laura's confusion about her own feelings for him. It wasn't until Breaking Up is Hard to Do, that those disagreements were brought to light. Myra demanded that Steve stop changing himself and go back to the sexy she loves so much, arguing that Laura never loved him for himself in the manner she did. He fires back how he truly felt about her in the beginning. Granted Steve wasn't that ungrateful to Myra for accepting him as himself, but he can't get over the fact that she's still behaving as a possessive and jealous relationship control freak. Plus, he had told her from the beginning that he simply wasn't interested in her and loves Laura. Myra should've been mature enough to understand how Steve felt and let him go. Instead, she acted like a spoiled brat and pretended to break up with him. Myra sorely underestimated Steve's willingness to move forward and began a relationship with Laura. So she plotted to break them up with Stefan's help. At first, they were successful. However, Steve let both Stefan and Myra know how he felt in all of this. How humiliated he and Laura both are with their behavior. Stefan accepted responsibility and apologized to Steve for it. Myra tried to justify her actions and how she will never stop until he takes her back. Stefan tells her off to be quiet, pointing out that on his and Laura's last date, he noticed they were falling out of love. Unlike Myra, he understood she loves Steve and he must let her go. He refuses to get involved in her future schemes if it means hurting his creator/brother and Laura again.
@@ladyfire44 speaking of the final season. With Michelle Thomas having the disease that she had, I really wish the writers would have written Myra's character out with a more dignified and sympathetic ending. Instead, her character will ultimately be remembered as a villain.
Actually Jaleel White had a more mature ending for the Steve/Myra relationship. He wanted them to break up amicably after their last date at Amore's at the end of Breaking Up is Hard to Do. White had plans for Stefan to go out of control, stalk Laura and revert back to his original traits. The producers wanted a more comedic route and later regretted it when they realized his version would've been much better.
@@num1Jaysta When Stefan was just Steve's alter ego, Stefan at least retained some of Steve's intelligence, but when Stefan became his own person, it appeared to be completely lost, as he did not understand biology in the episode he posed as Steve to see if Laura had feelings for Steve. I must note, it's kind of ironic that just two episodes before Stefan became his own person, Steve put his foot down by refusing to change into Stefan so Laura would go to the senior prom with him (and one can assume Steve may have refused to change into Stefan ever again after that).
One of the funniest episodes to this, I laugh so hard when Eddie twist and used the same words Carl said his reaction was priceless. It's too bad they never showed what Steve Urkel's parents look like.
4:38 That Dance Steve does (I'm going to live with the Winslows, (Hey) is hilarious! He is just as happy as ever when Carl says (OK Steve you can live here).
They did care about Steve. However, they also saw him coming over without asking for permission to visit them quite annoying. When Urkel did a lot of damages within the Winslow home due his clumsiness and his inventions gone haywire, he accepted responsibility for his mistakes and reimbursed them by paying for the repairs from his relatives' bribe money when he doesn't visit them. The Winslows are grateful for each time he helped them out when they needed him the most. During season 5, Urkel saw life as them with Myra stalking him and invading his privacy. In turn, he learned a hard lesson in respecting people's personal space. When Steve went steady her in Paradise Bluff, he became less attached to the Winslows and started growing up more. It was she who kept him distracted from annoying them too much by having him focus on their relationship.
and if you write Urkel out of the show at this point, by sending him to Russia with his parents. you've effectively killed off Family Matters, as Steve Urkel more or less made the show.
I always wondered why Estelle loved Steve so much LOL I get Richie, little kids tend to look up to anyone older than them, Harriet liked Steve overall but would be annoyed by him on occasion and of course Myra was just nuts so of course she'd love Steve but you would think Estelle would be so annoyed by Steve's antics but she probably adored him the most after Myra and Richie. But yeah, he annoyed them endlessly but he was apart of the family regardless so they knew they had to help him because he'd do anything to help them.
Estelle was very accepting of Steve and saw he needed someone to be like a parental figure in his life. She filled that void that he was lacking. Unwittingly so did Carl and Harriette. Ultimately this was how Jaleel White's relationship with Rosetta LeNoire was like off set. She was the cool and wise grandmother figure to him and he had fond memories of her. When LeNoire left the show in season 9 due to health issues, White was upset about it because he had planned to have Estelle and Fletcher attend Steve and Laura's wedding as the series finale.
I record Family Matters episodes on my dish DVR and I've been to watch them every chance I get after work I love how these shows have powerful and strong messages and meanings to them really deep
You forgot the part where, in the penultimate series finale, Steve was this close to move to Russia because he felt he wouldn't be good enough for Laura until Laura convinced him.
4:20, there is nothing like seeing a grown man cry, and it wasn't out of joy either as you had to feel a little bad for Carl, but years later, he wouldn't regret it as you see in the final episode that he would call Steve 'son.'
Also I find it hilarious how Steve was going (Oh) at 4:07-4:08 He is so eager to hear Carl say (You can live here)!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 When it comes to being Funny Steve Urkel is the best!
I think in the earlier seasons, Harriette was just as annoyed as Carl whenever Urkel comes to visit unannounced. In the early scene of Driving Carl Crazy, showed how annoyed she was with him coming over and yelled at him to Go Home because she and Carl are trying to have a romantic night together.
Sometimes the Winslows could be very childish when it came to them expressing joy over Steve possibly leaving the city. A prime example is the episode ("The Urkel Who Came to Dinner") where Harriette & Rachel led the family into a "Happy Dance" when the Urkels were going out of town & they thought that Steve was leaving to and they started singing & dancing when the car drove away....only to find out that Steve was left behind....AND that Harriette, after leading the family into that "Happy Dance" invited him to stay with them...a bit hypocritical
@@ladyfire44 That's true but in most cases, Harriet would stand up for Urkel when Carl or the family would be against Steve. But I can see why Harriet and Carl saying,"Is Steve going too?". It's less funny to see Harriett look disgusted at Carl saying,"Is Steve going too?".
My mom grew up on good times when she was a kid which I myself love and am a fan of for me family matters was my version of good times as a kid in the 90's. Damn I miss the good ol days.
Harriette was the only person that showed any type of compassion for steve ever since he save Carl from almost drowning when him eddie and steve went ice fishing
@@SashGirl34 Yeah. I remember that episode. When they all went to therapy and only Carl, Eddie, and spoke bad about Steve. And as he was leaving, Harriette stopped Steve and reminded him along with her family that Steve is a good person. I love that episode
@@KingGemini87 The sweet part is Carl, Eddie and Laura come to love him. Carl is proud and bragging about him by the final episodes. Laura, the girl of his dreams finds out he was the perfect guy he was searching for. Eddie comes to love him like a brother.
What would happen if I talk some sense into Eddie?: Eddie: I need some time to think it over. Me: Think it over? Think it over? Why would you have to think it over, Eddie? Eddie: Well, you see- Me: Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh! Eddie, you are Steve Urkel's best friend. In his eyes, the sun rises and sets on you. Eddie: Yeah, but- Me: But, but, but, but, but nothing! You need to show a little compassion, a little humanity. I mean, could you just picture Steve moving all the way to Russia? Away from all his friends? Away from the only home he's ever known? Can you seriously let that happened to poor Steve, and still look at yourself in the mirror every day? Eddie: No. Me: I think not!
Sure Steve annoys Carl lol but the truth is that he was more of a father to him than his actual father ever was and you know that deep down they love each other. :) (For I don't think he would of said yes if that wasn't the case. 33333)
I remember when the show started out until it finished it was The Winslow’s mostly Carl & Rachel, Laura and Eddie were the antagonists to Hurt Steve and his feelings at various times, in this episode love the Reverse with Eddie
Reginald VelJohnson as Carl Winslow Jo Marie Payton as Hariette Winslow Darius McCrary as Eddie Winslow Shawn Harrison as Waldo Heraldo Faldo Jaleel White as Steve Urkel Rosetta LeNoire as Mother Winslow (R.I.P.)
Carl could told Eddie to shut up and he's not moving in there but Steve knew he wasnt gonna let him go to Russia and Harriet and them would've guilt tripped him into letting Steve stay anyway
I really wanted to see Carl and Steve’s father have a conversation… it would’ve been great to see Carl go beast mode and put both his mom and dad in their place.
