About Steve Urkel
Steve Urkel is the nerdy, fun, and loving character from the hit television show Family Matters. The show revolved around the Winslow family who were the neighbors of Steve and his parents. Steve started coming around the family because his parents were not fond of him—in fact, it seemed as if they didn’t want to spend time with him at all! Steve became very close with the members of the Winslow family and even began to look to Carl for a father-son relationship he wishes he had.
While he looked up to Carl, Steve also fell deeply in love with Carl’s daughter Laura. Throughout the years, Laura saw Steve as the nerdy guy that she would always be friends with, but whenever the topic came up for Steve to have a girlfriend or his about his feelings for Laura, she seemed always to have a weak spot for Steve and their relationship together. Steve made it totally normal and a good thing to be a nerd!
