Etc all featured regular Black people with working class or affluent careers (Or at the very least, career aspirations). They weren't "hood" shows. People just resonate with them because the writing/acting aged better, they're more humorous and the characters were more distinct imo. They were Black without making it seem like they were making a statement that they were Black. Like you can tell whites were the main Writers for Family Matters. It's basically Black Full House. The entire concept of Urkel really is only something that's funny in the 90's. I think there's a reason all of these other shows have a couple of people that went on to have long lasting careers & We barely see anybody from Family Matters anymore unless they're discussing the show. They're kinda generic... no shade. But that's beside the point.
I'm sure people appreciate Family Matters, but it just doesn't give what the other shows give. This lil rant stems from his ego being hurt that his iconic character isn't as appreciated in the current era
