  Steve Urkel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urkel was an archetypal nerd, with large, thick eyeglasses, "high-water" pants held up by suspenders, and a high-pitched voice with a snorting laugh.
Urkel was originally a one-shot character on Family Matters, but, because of audience and ratings reaction, he became the show's main character and by the third season many feel the show had become "The Urkel Show".
Urkel's parents did not seem to love him (originally this wasn't the case); frequently, his comments alluded that he was a victim of verbal and emotional abuse (although this was never explicitly mentioned in the running gag).
