I knew that Steve loved Laura for real when he went to the dump to find Laura’s doll on Christmas Eve. He spent like 16 hours looking for it and brought it back to her. I would have fallen for him right then and there because I would know that he would anything to show his love for me.
"I do love you, I adore you. I worship the rain that waters the grass that grows on the ground you walk on."💖💗 I always remembered that line and I watched this for the first time when I was 6 years old. That is true love and that is how a MAN tells you he loves you 🥰
It hurts when that loves not retuned though. I’ve loved the same gal for 27 years. I stepped aside so she could be happy. I did tell her I loved her though. I still do.
Steve and Laura had to do a lot of growing up, which was the point of Stefan and Myra. They were meant to give Laura and Steve a significant other to be with
That "Why not" at 2:20 had a lot of power in it. Steve was hurt but at the same time fed up. He knew he wanted to give her the world but felt like she didn't want anything from him but didn't want to lose him.
I’m glad they finally got together, but in my humble but accurate opinion they should have done this in season 8. Especially after prom night you could tell something was going on. They should have built it up from there but they never followed up on it. Bad writing on their part. And for those that think steve manipulated Laura or just wore her down, you don’t understand that steve never took advantage of her, never forced anything on her, was always there for her. Their friendship grew over time and eventually became romantic. She cared for him way before this season. If you go back to season 4 you could tell that she seriously cared for him especially when he didn’t come around for a couple of weeks she started to miss him. That was when she realized but didn’t know it, that she didn’t like him not being there. Almost like she couldn’t see herself without him… even then. Myra and steve had a lot of similar interests but did not have the same values. Myra actually was manipulating and she actually did stalk him. Steve and Laura might not of had the same interests but they shared the same values. Values are more important. Me and my wife have very different interests but share the same values. In the end that’s what matters.
That wedding dress she had, is stalker syndrome. She didn't listen to Steve when he said, Laura first and she keeps pushing marriage on him. Let a man be a man
I loved his proposal and the throwback to when he first gave her a ring. Steve finally got the girl he loved and best of all she fell in love with Steve for being himself. Laura could have had Stefan but she chose the real version of who Steve has always been.
Here's what I would've done for the end credits of Pop Goes the Question. Stefan: You did accept Steve's proposal. Laura: I'm sorry, Stefan. We have so much history together. Stefan: You don't have to apologize for this. I understand you can't help who you love. On our last date together, I notice we were drifting apart. Laura: I was so confused at the time and Steve was always there. We had to do a lot of maturing. He was someone I thought had no chance with me, but he was patient and on the persistent side. Stefan: But nowhere near as Myra who never respected his personal space, invaded it and kept stalking him to his extreme terror. I know because I've seen enough to label her a psychopath. (Laura hands the ring back to Stefan.) Laura: I was in love with Steve, you were just the face I needed to see what's in him. Stefan: I know. After how I saw Myra behaved in refusing to let Steve go, I'd rather end things with you on a mature level. Maybe one day I will find my special someone in my life and one I can love with all my heart.
@@ladyfire44 Ah. Good point. But it's true they have drifted apart in Season 9. He even said when him and Laura were kissing it's not much passion anymore. But Laura got bored, Stefan wasn't necessary anymore.
IMO Laura has always been in love with Steve. Now she's just mature enough to deal with her true feelings. Besides marrying a genius ain't a bad thing. The whole time Steve's talking Laura is looking like, "Dude you ain't goin' nowhere!" And when she said, "How can you just leave? You told me you love me." She was basically telling him I don't want you to go. I want you to stay and keep loving me b/c I love you. I wish we could have gotten a farewell season.
I think he wanted to hear it from her. I am sure he had no doubts about her love and commitment to him. I only wish we got even a small glimpse of their wedding but I can imagine it was super romantic.
Michelle Thomas’ Illness killed the show. The Cast Decided Not to go forward with a 10th season when they learned how terminally ill she was. Kellie Williams said it was rough taping new episodes when they all secretly knew why Myra wasn’t going to return or get a proper sendoff. “I remember when we got word that Chelle was very sick and that her condition had started to deteriorate. We were wrapping up taping of Season 9, it was so Sad. We were all somber and I remember crying for her. An Emergency Meeting was called and a vote was made whether to go forward with a S10 with Myra being completely written out or just throw in the towel and call it a day for the show. We All loved Michelle Thomas too much to do such an insensitive thing to her character, so a 15-0 vote was called and we all voted “Nay” to continuing without her, ultimately deciding to pack it all up and call it a day ending a 9 year run”.~Kellie Williams 2014.
He spent 15 years chasing the love of one woman…no matter how he felt about Myra, he let know out the gate that his desire and heart was to be with Laura!!! He’s true testament of patience….hands down this is the best TV show ever
Myra should've known better and left him alone the moment Steve told her that he wasn't interested in her from the beginning. Nope, she kept pursuing the matter because she believed that they were meant to be together.
@@ladyfire44 Though she did help Steve learn about people's privacy and that but other than that I believe she holds him back and expects him to stay a boy trapped in a man's body forever. Laura at least wants him to mature. Steve was still the same he just changed suspenders she couldn't stand the fact he changed.
Family Matters is EASILY my MOST FAVORITE comedy series EVER. The chase of Laura by Steve is such a ride. I’m so glad it ended perfectly!!!!! And yes, even now, decades later, certain scenes still fill my eyes with tears!!!!
If the season 10 and final season would've happen, Steve and Laura would have a wedding, have a honeymoon in Hawaii, Laura become pregnant, Stefan merge back to Steve, have a daughter in the final episode, and live happily ever after. Since Eddie is a police officer and he would married to Greta. Maxine would reunite with Waldo and get married. Myra would definitely go out with Cornelius Eugene Urkel (formerly Original Gangsta Dawg) since Stefan disappeared (merged with Steve). Ritchie would move back to Rachel in full time. 3J would return to his birth mother with second chance. As for Carl and Harriette, they still happily married.
@@JanetMarieRose73 In real life, most people don't marry their best friends, and that's why over half of all marriages end in divorce once the romance dies.
I can tell by the comments many didn't watch the later seasons. Laura and Steve developed a friendship throughout the show that led into a romantic one. People act like she was mean to him the entire show or that Steve always stalked/harassed her. Also, Steve was not a rebound. Both Stefan and Steve proposed to Laura the same night, but she picked Steve.
I can tell that you don't know what real love is. Steve is a rebound guy who is obsessed with Laura. Myra loved him and accepted him for who he is, Laura treats Steve like trash and then waits until all of her options of men run out just to get Steve to be her back up plan. Plus he puts Laura on the pedestal while disregarding Myra, Steve is a sucker and I bet those are the caliber of people that you're used to dealing with. Ain't no damn way on God's green earth that I'll ever be a woman's rebound guy, I'll never be stand in for a fool. 💯
@@RudolphManor So, I bet that is your way of saying that real love would never have a beautiful woman like Laura pick a 'nerd' or 'dork' like Steve. In case you forgot the memo, it is common knowledge that 'nerds' and 'dorks' are the nicest people you will ever meet, most of which being successful during adulthood. Besides, it is not just your body, behavior or looks that counts. Love is also about having a good heart and a good mind. That is what REAL and TRUE love is all about. Steve was NOT a rebound. If he was, then Laura would have indeed picked Stefan instead of Steve. She didn't, meaning that Laura cared more about Steve than she would like to admit. This scene proves that real love comes in all shapes and sizes. Love always find its way and in most cases unexpected too. I am pretty sure situations like this scene happens in real life as well. And more than you know. So, try not to judge the book by its cover next time around...
Yes I love this episode! Both Steve & Stephan proposed to her! She accepted Steve’s proposal.. I love it! He finally gets the girl if his dream! Myra was a rebound because he always loved Laura since a young git..
For those saying It should’ve been Myra: Think about this: Steve invested a lot of time trying to win Laura, as well as the fact that when Steves parents move to Russia, Carl became a father figure to him, plus Steve gave them a trip to Disney (which by 90s standards wasn’t cheap) and Steve has saved Carl’s life more than he maimed him, so that along with constantly seeing him throughout her childhood, he endeared himself to them, and he became like family to them. Steve did whatever it took to make her happy, and every time Steve changed into Stefan, Laura preferred Steve. This coupled with his willingness to improve, cast him in a more desirable light. In regards to Myra: yes, they had a great deal in common, but the minute he decides to not be with her, she bugs his glasses and stalks him.
She always liked Steve. His antics and her wanting to be with the in crowd kept them apart. She wasn’t a mean person. She was blunt. And whenever she went too far, she would always make it right. She was mean to him out of frustration. Her heart wanted what her head didn’t. Listen to the exchange between them while on that balcony at the prom. Look at her body language. In that moment, she looked upon him with love in her eyes.
To be fair; EVERYONE was annoyed by his antics, including his own family, who simply turned his back on him (including his cousin Julie from Full House). The only ones who cared about Steve was Laura and her family, who - albeit reluctantly at first - even allowed him to stay and live in their house despite everything. If they didn't, then Steve would be alone with no where else to go, which would be kinda sad now that I think about it...
Myra did some good in Steve's life in Season 5 and the later seasons. People often forget that she played an important role in his maturing. Even Stefan taught Laura a life lesson in his first appearance, Dr. Urkel and Mr. Cool. Had Myra not been introduced midway season 4 and became possessive of Steve at the end of Buds 'n' Buns, he would never made those changes in his personality and remained a stalker. By having him endure life as the Winslow's in stalking him relentlessly and invading his personal space, she taught him a hard lesson in respecting personal space. Myra took it a step further by forcibly having sex with Steve in his locker(post credit of Like a Virgin) and spying on him by drawing him naked in his room(beginning of Nunsense) to ensure the lesson stuck. In the end, he learned a hard lesson in respecting personal boundaries and realized how annoying he was to everyone in general. Steve accepted that he had a lot of growing up to do and started maturing. When he agreed to go steady with Myra at the end of Paradise Bluff, she calmed down considerably and started maturing as well. She began fitting in with Laura and her friends more. Steve was less attached to the Winslow family because Myra kept him distracted from his family issues with his parents When Stefan first appeared, Laura was immediately smitten by him because he was cool and suave However, when his narcissistic and arrogant traits came out fueled by a lack of concern for Carl when his partner go shot, she began to be annoyed by him. Once Stefan started insulting Steve, Laura got fed up and told him off about how she felt. She told him off to return as Steve at once, pointing out that although annoying, he has been considerate, compassionate and caring of others needs. Only then, Stefan realized that he hurt Laura's feelings with his behavior. He agreed to go back as Steve by eating a tablet serving as the antidote. After returning as himself, she was so happy to see him again. Laura claims she never wanted to see Stefan again. Steve reassures her that he can begin work on improving his alter-ego immediately. In between Dr. Urkel and Mr. Cool to Stefan Returns, he did diagnostic testing on his Cool Serum and discovered flaws in it. It not only suppressed his nerdy side, but also didn't retain his caring traits and it caused some uncomfortable rashes in his personal parts. Thus, Steve began working on ways to mitigate that. For a while, Laura forgot about Stefan, but not the lessons she learned. She became careful dating guys who don't have her best interest at heart, more mindful in not going based on their appearance and get to know them first. When Maxine finally asked about if Steve could bring back Stefan in Stefan Returns, Laura was very reluctant to ask. This is because of what she went through with him and his arrogance is why she never asked for his return. After Maxine's convincing Laura finally asked Steve to bring Stefan back. By this time, he had completed the task. He upgraded his Cool Juice with Boss Sauce(which would help maintain Steve's caring traits and tone down the arrogant ones) and a transformation chamber made out of an unused port-a-potty(to cut don on those rashes form personal parts). Stefan returns still cool, but more considerate and kinder to others. By the time season 9 rolled around there was no need to keep Stefan and Myra around because they did their job to help Steve and Laura mature.
That's not true. They had been dating for awhile at this point. Stephan also proposed to Laura and Steve assumed she would say yes to Stephan over him.
He was wearing her down and finally got her, 15 years and never turned away or gave up on the love of his life, Steve and Laura together are so much better than Stefan and Laura in my opinion, no other man in that whole series loves Laura more then Steve, Laura brings the best out of Steve, she's his best motivation to keep going
Scene was perfect in every aspect. Laura was forced to come out of her shell and admit to Steve that she loves him..now or never. She looked so uncomfortable doing so..but had no choice fess up or hes gone. Very well acted by Jaleel and Kellie
I grew up watching Family Matters (I'm 35 now) and as a kid I never really paid attention to the relationship dynamic between Steve and Laura. I just started rewatching the show and I love how their relationship grows. The first few seasons you can see how Laura can't stand Steve. She tells him from the start that she has no feelings for him. When Myra was introduced in season 4 I thought she was adorable. But she is also extremely toxic. She stalks Steve and only has her interests at heart. When Stefan is introduced people went crazy for him. As did Laura. But she only saw him for his looks and he didn't have any depth. Now, I love that Steve improved on the character of Stefan but he was still not my favorite. I love how Steve and Laura grew up together. How their feelings matured and how Laura finally understands that she's always loved Steve. He never gave up on her and she pushed him to be better. They are meant to be
It's actually well written, years Steve got rejected and got thrown out...when he throws himself out because he got so used to it, Laura begs him not to leave
Yep deep down Steve is the guy everyone needs. He may be a but clumsy and sometimes embarrassing to be around to some people but he really is someone you can trust and count on him.
She made the wrong decision. Not even 2 years later she cheated on him and she was the one who broke things off. She realized she loved him, but not the way that she thought he deserved.
That is my real life story my girl could not stand me but I told her one day we were going to get married I met her when we were 9 I moved from the neighborhood didn't see her for years we were both still in the same city one day I was going to a tournament but my mom wanted to go to the store before so we did she was in there so long I finally went in and she told me your girl is in here I didn't know who but I found her we talked and caught up talked about old times and I told her if she was ever in my neighborhood to come see me anytime not that weekend but the next one she did and we been together ever since that was 21 years ago stories like Laura and Steve's really do happen.
My opinion. Steve chose right. It would have been a big blunder on his behalf if he chose Myra. Myra falls under the category of people who come out as loving, tender, gentle but deep down their character sucks,she's a faker. This shown by her outrageous treatment to Laura who did nothing to her whatsoever. Whilst Laura comes out harsh, stuck up but her character is impeccable, kind, genuine, honest and loving deep down (the type of woman any man would be happy to marry) These two are literal definitions of don't judge a book by its cover. A book may have an undesirable cover but have good content within it(Laura) while another may have the most alluring cover but have bad content (Myra) The only one that can distinguish between the good and bad book is the one who reads them both. And Steve read them both and saw that the first book (Laura) is the one hell like to read for the rest of his life. in my opinion Laura does more for Steve than Myra ever did/could. All Myra did was give the boy Romantic, Sexual, physical attraction and erotism but has not shown/proven her love for him. When Steve decides to improve himself, instead of proving/showing her love for him by supporting him as she should as a loving girlfriend , she instead dumps him because she finds herself less and less attracted to him. when she imposes marriage after college to Steve and Steve ask for a bit of control and some breathing room because she is taking too much control in the relationship she dumps him because she doesn't get her way, I generally believe she likes nerds because they give her the opportunity to be in control, because nerds are characterized with frailty, they are perfect specimen for her . One important thing Ted (Myra's cousin ) said when he told Laura about Myra was that she has a attraction to nerds, so when Steve stops being a stereotypical nerd (the kind she is attracted to), she dumps him because she lost the attraction. Ppl say, but she came back for him. No. She came back to beg him not because she realized her wrong but so he could return to his former 'attractive' self and for Steve to beg for forgiveness for literally wanting to improve himself . If someone is trying to change Steve its Myra not Laura. Attraction is different from Love, a person may have an attraction to you, be it sexually, Romantically, physically e.t.c, but it doesn't necessarily mean they love you . Laura proved her Love for Steve throughout the series. Whenever Steve needs someone by his side it's always Laura who shows up not Myra. Whenever Steve needs advice on important issues it's Laura not Myra.whenever Steve needs someone to lift him up when he is feeling down Laura shows up not Myra. 9/10 times someone stands up for Steve it's Laura and not Myra.When it comes to listening to Steve Laura always gives Steve her full attention and acts on what ge saiys whilst Myra does not. Laura nvr forces or imposes her will on Steve but Myra does. When it maters the most Laura is always there for Steve not Myra. Laura may have not been attracted to Steve earlier on but she loved him, but Myra was attracted to Steve but didn't love him she has consistently failed to prove her love for him throughout their entire relationship. though I agree Laura does say some mean things to Steve earlier on, but she always acknowledged her wrong doing and apologized for them, for me that shows great character.i always see comments about the mean things she did but nvr about the fact that she would always sincerely apologize/make up for them( all the time) she could be like Myra who nvr takes the blame and blames others for things she caused, like when she blamed Laura that Steve had refused to take her back but she is the one who dumped him Additional reasons why Laura is the 'ONE' for Steve 1) Their values, principles are the same or converge in some way or another while all Steve and Myra share are common interests. Common interests can only sustain a relationship /marriage for so long it wouldn't have lasted 2)Chemistry, Steve and Laura's chemistry is mind bugging.Myra and Steve's chemistry is almost non-existent 3)Their relationship is mostly about what Myra wants, instead of what both Myra and Steve want. She always wants to get her way for example when she dumps Steve and her reason for that according her was for Steve to apologize for improving himself( becoming less of a stereotypical nerd) and for him to return to the way she is attracted to him(for me this is not Love, showing someone that you are physically, sexually attracted to them doesn't mean you love them ).you don't put the one you love in such egocentric 'Charades' that Myra put Steve through. Laura doest do this she is always straight forward and honest with this dude 4) OH YEAH, LEST I FORGET - THE GIRL IS A NUT JOB!!! (Myra).
This is a top tier comment. I love how you see the nuances and underlying aspects of the writing. It’s always interesting how fooled viewers are by Myra and how they don’t really understand her character. While I like Myra, I don’t understand how people say she was better for Steve. You perfectly explain why she wasn’t Steve’s ideal mate. She and Steve may have shared common interests, but they never shared the same values.
I wouldn’t say wearing her down it was just the fact that Laura had to stop playing herself and embraced her feelings for him relationships are about sacrifices she sacrificed being out of her element just to prove her love and feelings for Steve they pushed each other to get better people love to holler Myra and Steve just because they share the same qualities as nerds and geeks but that’s not always the case during they’re relationship they had some great moments as couples but ask yourself this what has Myra sacrificed to prove her love to Steve
@@dantewilliams7458 Myra really did not sacrifice anything. Those who say Myra wasn't so shallow in worrying about what others think like Laura supposedly did ignore the fact that Myra probably did not have a reputation to lose, being a geek herself, who does not have any friends other than her stuffed animals.
It takes a God-like amount of courage and sacrifice to be willing to let someone you love go in order to give them a chance to be happy. What Steve didn't realize was that Laura could never be truly happy again in her life if Steve wasn't in it. In spite of their rocky, mostly one-sided relationship up until that season, Steve has always been such a central and important figure in Laura's life, as much as her own family. His unwavering, unconditional love and support for her has never failed her. From when he offered to drive her to her cheerleading camp after she overslept. Or when he spent 16 hours searching through a junkyard looking for her doll on Christmas in the freezing snow. Or tutoring her boyfriend in Algebra so that he can pass and play on the basketball team, despite the despair and pain it would cause him. Or setting her up with Ted for Homecoming because that's who Laura wanted to go with, even though Steve hated it for reasons obvious and it caused him further despair and pain. Time and time again, he always put her first. And that didn't go unnoticed by Laura. That's why she eventually fell in love with him as much as he was in love with her. And the fact that Steve was about to do it again here, and for the last time, effectively ending his hopes and dreams of being with her, just so Laura can have a happy life (or so he thought), was the straw that broke the camel's back for Laura. Remembering all those times Steve was there for her made her realize she could never picture her life without him in it... Or rather, she DIDN'T WANT TO picture her life without him in it because to lose someone as important and dear to her as Steve would have absolutely broken Laura's heart. And it's RIGHT THERE, when she realized how much she loves and adores him and wants to be with him. As such, when you let go of that someone you love so they can be happy, only for them to come running back to you by their own choice because they can't and don't want to let YOU go and want to be with you. THAT is True Love.
Only thing missing on this episode was a montage of clips of their past..they showed several photos of them from over the years after she accepted his proposal
These two Laura Winslow and Steve Urkel went from being Best friends since kindergarten in 1981 to lovers Steve Urkel has always treated Laura Winslow with respect
From kindergarten? Which show did you watch? Her father hook them up for a middle school dance. She had three dates. He asked about cheese and that episode was his break out role. The entire series changed and was now written around his character.
These 2 characters in this series really shows what true love is & the pain that suffer when one of them leaves forever by understanding who is better for that person ❤😢
Ugh 🥰🥰🥰 those words Steve said always gets me lol. I’m like you betta say it boy this was the most touching episode ever. Yeah Stefan was cool and probably better looking but, what makes you cool is being your authentic self. I really wish we could’ve had 2 more episodes on season 9 so we could witness their wedding.
This episode made me cried he tried for so many years he finally got her the show should of ended where they got married I didn't like how they ended the show.
This is how I would've done season 9. 1. Out with the Old: No changes except at the end where Myrtle watches the kiss backstage, feels ashamed of herself because she realized how foolish she looks in trying to win Eddie's heart and relinquishes her love for him. The next day, Steve is preparing to move himself and Laura into his family house. Myrtle appears and tells him that he was right in the end. She wasted her time winning Eddie's love when she should've been working on herself and finding her own man. Since he loves Greta with his heart, she decided she's not pursuing the matter and is going back to Biloxi for a while. Someday, Myrtle will find someone who really loves and appreciates her. 2. They Shoot Ducks, Don't They?: Eddie faces a moral dilemma when Carl and Commissioner Geiss both want to shoot a mother duck and calls Steve in to help him out. No changes on the side story. 3.

Both get into an argument until Estelle and Fletcher tells them to compromise. Carl and Harriette goes on the romantic cruise where they see a blimp with his message. When she apologizes for ruining his dinner plans, he reassures her that being with her on the cruise and her happiness is more important to him. Carl mentions to Harriette that he gave his reservation to Fletcher and Estelle. A scene cuts to them enjoying their romantic getaway at Chez Josephine's. No changes to the ending, except Laura reminds Maxine that she used to date Waldo. She reassures Laura that she didn't do this to make fun of her. It was out of irony because it took her 14 years to admit she likes Steve. 5. Who's Afraid of the Big Black Book: No changes. 6. A Journal is a Terrible Thing to Read: Eddie invades Laura's personal space after reading her journal and making a mockery of her. Steve, Greta and Maxine teaches him a hard lesson in respecting personal space after his own secrets are exposed for all to see. No changes in the subplot. 7.

He mentions if they never loved him, they could've done the right thing and gave him up for adoption. In that moment, Herb and Diane feel guilty over how they treated him and realized that all Steve wanted was love and acceptance. Carl and Harriette feel worse because of how they, Eddie and Laura once treated him. Herb and Diane apologizes to Steve and admitted that it's what they wanted to do. They were ill-equip to be parents, had asked a nurse to give them the papers to sign their rights away and give him up for adoption. However, when their relatives found out what Herb and Diane planned to do with Steve, they forced the two to keep him. They never intended to treat him the way they did and their anger was at the people who made them raise him. Herb and Diane admitted they were jealous of Carl and Harriette because they raised their children with love. When they allowed Steve to stay with the Winslows, they did so in order to let him experience life with a loving family. The Urkels reconcile and become close. 10.

Meanwhile, Eddie is jealous of the praises Cornelius gets from Carl and goes trigger happy. Both teaches him a hard lesson when he shoots a cardboard picture of Laura. Carl points out to Eddie that those are going to be real people's lives at stake when pursuing a wanted felon and using good judgment is key to preventing this. He didn't praise Cornelius just to make Eddie jealous. Carl praised him because he show good judgment and excellent gun control during the shooting exercises. Eddie realizes how wrong he was in this and resolves to do better. Myra learns Stefan has been spying on Laura throughout a spy cam installed in Steve's science pin and tells the group. 16. Stefan Strikes part 2: Laura confronts Stefan and learns he's really insane. She destroys the spy cam in Steve's science pin and demands he relinquish his love for her.

I just peeped the fact that Steve never had one picture of Myra, but had about 10 of Laura. How he brought up marriage to Laura since they were young, but not with Myra. He even got cold feet when she brought it up. Maybe because he always knew Laura was destined to be his wife. He did say he'll wait forever if need be. Also let's remember when Steve didn't come around much she missed and told Rachel and him that. But never said that about Stefan. Even when he was in France and she was creeping with Curtis. She never mentioned missing him. Because she could picture him not in her life. Which proves that even though she had love for Stefan. She wasn't in love with him.
Laura only had "love" for Stefan because he was everything she wished Steve was like on the surface, so she had always really been in love with Steve, just not ready to accept him romantically for who he is. When Laura finally matured enough to accept Steve romantically for who he is, Stefan was no longer necessary.
This was a well executed ultimatum, and one would assume Urkel of all people wouldn't have the leverage to pull it off. Halfway out the door, Laura what are you trying to say? Bam, mission accomplished, clone defeated.
People that are big fans of Myra and Steve needs to realize something just because you share the same qualities don’t mean that you’re right for each other always the relationship was based on what Myra wanted Laura was never liked that all she wanted Steve to do was better himself Hell he helped her better herself she was willing to step out her element just to prove her love to Steve she was stubborn and challenging but they were there for each other when it counted that’s what relationships and marriage is about sacrifice what did Myra really sacrifice for him Laura sacrificed a lot for Steve and she would never let nobody play with him or hurt him she could be mad at him but let someone talk about him and watch she act up and don’t get it twisted may the beautiful Michelle Thomas Rest In heaven the way Jaleel talks about her she was the person you fell in love with in real life but as far as her character they were never never going to be a real relationship couple
Steve and Laura did a lot for each other, and sometimes without the other person realizing it. Love requires sacrifice, and they had plenty of that on both sides. In the end, that will allow them to have a great marriage no matter what life throws their way.
The problem is that they will always continue to believe that Laura was wrong for Steve and he should've been with Myra. They aren't going to change their minds about it no matter how much you speak the truth. Myra's behavior was toxic to begin with and Steve couldn't deal with it. That's not a basis for a healthy relationship. Myra's possessive and jealous behavior always got the better of her. Steve had flat out told her that he wasn't interested in her from the start. Myra should've known better, accepted that reality and left him alone afterwards. At times, she has shown how similar she is to Myrtle when she doesn't get her way. Myra kept trying to force herself on Steve and not respecting personal space. He couldn't deal with such disrespect because it showed what she's truly like inside. If Myra had truly loved Steve, she wouldn't been behaving so immaturely and trusted him. She was a commitment control freak who wasn't willing to sacrifice her own wants and needs to make him happy.
@@ladyfire44 If Myra had truly loved Steve, she would have tried to build a bond with him, like the one Steve had with Laura (and she could have succeeded seeing Laura had no romantic interest in him when she encouraged him to date Myra). Instead, she selfishly tried to attack the bond Steve shared with Laura.
At the end of the proposal episode, there is a short compilation of laura and steve's love moments in earlier seasons. You never really thought they were actually going to marry but when you look at it, you see they were soulmates all along 😍
I get that most people still feel that Steve should’ve remained with Myra but I personally feel like else that they ending to Steve and Laura’s feelings, how they grown and matured over seasons passed for it’s demonstrates how much Laura truly came to love and care for Steve and how much the Winslow have come to accept him as full time member of the family plus, If her actress Michelle Thomas hadn’t passed months after season 9 than we would’ve got to see the rest of her story when Myra finally (and truly) relinquishes her love for Steve at his and Laura's wedding along giving them both her blessings that she soon moves on to the next “Urkel” which happens to be none other than Steve’s street punk cousin from Detroit, Cornelius “OGD” Eugene Urkel😅.
I never watched Family Matters(don't judge) so I'm seeing this for the first time. What a beautiful moment, though I probably would have enjoyed it more if the camera person was not riding a unicycle while recording it.
I was finally glad to see it when it happened. I remember watching this episode live 25 years ago. I could tell that Steve, while very happy, was taken by surprise when Laura finally chose him over Stefan and wanted to marry him. She made the right choice. My only problem was that they dragged this out way too long. I wish they would have done this the season or two before. But better late than never. I could tell that Carl was unhappy about her decision, at first. But, in the end, he warmed up to the idea and was ready for Steve to soon be his son-in-law.
Even though this show was aimed at black viewers, alot of other families enjoyed this show. Steve urkel turned this show into what it was and how it ended. This show wasn't just a show, it was an extention of my family and many others around the country that brought every emotion to the table at just the right time. The ending was a perfect way to go.
I never thought it would ruin the show. I was just thinking that the reboot, if it’s gonna happen should start with Laura and Steve becoming a real relationship. That would be a good way for them to finally have some fun after all the times Laura wasn’t interested in him.
I cried on this episode because she said yes it take him a long time to get her but he got her but why didn't they end the show they had a wedding and got married the show didn't ended right and why was he in space on a few episodes like I said the show didn't end right.
“I worship the rain that waters the grass that grows on the ground you walk on” that boy Steve was in his BAG right there
He summed up the previous 15 years of him chasing her in that one line. Mic drop moment.
Man hit her with the mule 😂😂😂😂
In reality, the response you would get is "I know, that's why I consider you such a good friend"
Oh he was definitely spittin lmao!
It's idiosy
I knew that Steve loved Laura for real when he went to the dump to find Laura’s doll on Christmas Eve. He spent like 16 hours looking for it and brought it back to her. I would have fallen for him right then and there because I would know that he would anything to show his love for me.
You would call him a creepy lame stalker
@@thisgame2 Would I? Thanks for letting me know what I'd do. I had no idea

"I do love you, I adore you. I worship the rain that waters the grass that grows on the ground you walk on."💖💗 I always remembered that line and I watched this for the first time when I was 6 years old. That is true love and that is how a MAN tells you he loves you 🥰
I thought I was the only person who has remembered that specific line for their entire life. Jesus Christ; that is love!
It hurts when that loves not retuned though. I’ve loved the same gal for 27 years. I stepped aside so she could be happy. I did tell her I loved her though. I still do.
He wore her down, baby! He wore her down!
Steve and Laura had to do a lot of growing up, which was the point of Stefan and Myra. They were meant to give Laura and Steve a significant other to be with
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha yea
😅😅😅
My boy worked his butt off and he got his girl!
That "Why not" at 2:20 had a lot of power in it.
Steve was hurt but at the same time fed up. He knew he wanted to give her the world but felt like she didn't want anything from him but didn't want to lose him.
I’m glad they finally got together, but in my humble but accurate opinion they should have done this in season 8. Especially after prom night you could tell something was going on. They should have built it up from there but they never followed up on it. Bad writing on their part. And for those that think steve manipulated Laura or just wore her down, you don’t understand that steve never took advantage of her, never forced anything on her, was always there for her. Their friendship grew over time and eventually became romantic. She cared for him way before this season. If you go back to season 4 you could tell that she seriously cared for him especially when he didn’t come around for a couple of weeks she started to miss him. That was when she realized but didn’t know it, that she didn’t like him not being there. Almost like she couldn’t see herself without him… even then. Myra and steve had a lot of similar interests but did not have the same values. Myra actually was manipulating and she actually did stalk him. Steve and Laura might not of had the same interests but they shared the same values. Values are more important. Me and my wife have very different interests but share the same values. In the end that’s what matters.
Lol...it's only a TV show.
@@leftystevenson2436 did your girl leave you for an Urkel🤣🤣🤣🤣

I never thought Steve Urkel would make me cry but this did. To see his face at the end was priceless. You can see how long he waited to hear that 😢
Amen me cry
I need to watch this show again as an adult. There's a whole lot of good lessons this show brings to the table I can now understand.
Yesss! Ima need someone to post EVERY season. I'd even buy them myself.
On hulu.
I agree, I am not remembering this. I think I will also watch
Well said
Me iam watch this show❤❤❤
I loved his proposal and the throwback to when he first gave her a ring. Steve finally got the girl he loved and best of all she fell in love with Steve for being himself. Laura could have had Stefan but she chose the real version of who Steve has always been.
Justin Pullin
Here's what I would've done for the end credits of Pop Goes the Question.
Stefan: You did accept Steve's proposal.
Laura: I'm sorry, Stefan. We have so much history together.
Stefan: You don't have to apologize for this. I understand you can't help who you love. On our last date together, I notice we were drifting apart.
Laura: I was so confused at the time and Steve was always there. We had to do a lot of maturing. He was someone I thought had no chance with me, but he was patient and on the persistent side.
Stefan: But nowhere near as Myra who never respected his personal space, invaded it and kept stalking him to his extreme terror. I know because I've seen enough to label her a psychopath.
(Laura hands the ring back to Stefan.)
Laura: I was in love with Steve, you were just the face I needed to see what's in him.
Stefan: I know. After how I saw Myra behaved in refusing to let Steve go, I'd rather end things with you on a mature level. Maybe one day I will find my special someone in my life and one I can love with all my heart.
@@ladyfire44But if Stefan dies it won't
This is before Stefan fades in season 10.
@@ladyfire44 Ah. Good point. But it's true they have drifted apart in Season 9. He even said when him and Laura were kissing it's not much passion anymore. But Laura got bored, Stefan wasn't necessary anymore.
"I do have one favor to ask of you. One small favor...
...Remember me."
😭😭😭😭😭
It takes a certain type of man to admit that this scene either made him cry or came very close to it. Happiness brings upon tears of joy!
I definitely started tearing up then saw this comment 😂
I'm not crying, my eyes are just sweating from this Texas Heat!
Every single time.
My danged allergies... sniff sniff.
Smiles yes, tears? I just don’t have that level of emotions.
I bawled my eyes out when this first aired.. So did everyone else in the room 😂.. The long term story telling between them 2 was worth the wait
Fuck Laura waiting till he was about to leave Myra was his Queen
IMO Laura has always been in love with Steve. Now she's just mature enough to deal with her true feelings. Besides marrying a genius ain't a bad thing. The whole time Steve's talking Laura is looking like, "Dude you ain't goin' nowhere!" And when she said, "How can you just leave? You told me you love me." She was basically telling him I don't want you to go. I want you to stay and keep loving me b/c I love you. I wish we could have gotten a farewell season.
I think he wanted to hear it from her. I am sure he had no doubts about her love and commitment to him. I only wish we got even a small glimpse of their wedding but I can imagine it was super romantic.
Michelle Thomas’ Illness killed the show. The Cast Decided Not to go forward with a 10th season when they learned how terminally ill she was. Kellie Williams said it was rough taping new episodes when they all secretly knew why Myra wasn’t going to return or get a proper sendoff. “I remember when we got word that Chelle was very sick and that her condition had started to deteriorate. We were wrapping up taping of Season 9, it was so Sad. We were all somber and I remember crying for her. An Emergency Meeting was called and a vote was made whether to go forward with a S10 with Myra being completely written out or just throw in the towel and call it a day for the show. We All loved Michelle Thomas too much to do such an insensitive thing to her character, so a 15-0 vote was called and we all voted “Nay” to continuing without her, ultimately deciding to pack it all up and call it a day ending a 9 year run”.~Kellie Williams 2014.
Sort of like Anne and Gilbert in the book Anne of Green Gables.. Anne had always loved Gilbert..
He spent 15 years chasing the love of one woman…no matter how he felt about Myra, he let know out the gate that his desire and heart was to be with Laura!!! He’s true testament of patience….hands down this is the best TV show ever
Myra should've known better and left him alone the moment Steve told her that he wasn't interested in her from the beginning. Nope, she kept pursuing the matter because she believed that they were meant to be together.
@@ladyfire44 Though she did help Steve learn about people's privacy and that but other than that I believe she holds him back and expects him to stay a boy trapped in a man's body forever. Laura at least wants him to mature. Steve was still the same he just changed suspenders she couldn't stand the fact he changed.
Family Matters is EASILY my MOST FAVORITE comedy series EVER. The chase of Laura by Steve is such a ride. I’m so glad it ended perfectly!!!!!
And yes, even now, decades later, certain scenes still fill my eyes with tears!!!!
If the season 10 and final season would've happen, Steve and Laura would have a wedding, have a honeymoon in Hawaii, Laura become pregnant, Stefan merge back to Steve, have a daughter in the final episode, and live happily ever after.
Since Eddie is a police officer and he would married to Greta.
Maxine would reunite with Waldo and get married.
Myra would definitely go out with Cornelius Eugene Urkel (formerly Original Gangsta Dawg) since Stefan disappeared (merged with Steve).
Ritchie would move back to Rachel in full time.
3J would return to his birth mother with second chance.
As for Carl and Harriette, they still happily married.
Oh, that was awesome!👌👏
Have you ever considered writing a fanfiction for this? I think it would be awesome, and I would definitely read it.

@@curtisjohnson9910 what you mean
So sweet, she ended up marrying her best friend 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰, as the way it should be.
Steve was much more of a best friend compared to Maxine for Laura. She truly fell in love and grew in love with her best friend Steve.
@@JanetMarieRose73 In real life, most people don't marry their best friends, and that's why over half of all marriages end in divorce once the romance dies.
I can tell by the comments many didn't watch the later seasons. Laura and Steve developed a friendship throughout the show that led into a romantic one. People act like she was mean to him the entire show or that Steve always stalked/harassed her. Also, Steve was not a rebound. Both Stefan and Steve proposed to Laura the same night, but she picked Steve.
I can tell that you don't know what real love is. Steve is a rebound guy who is obsessed with Laura. Myra loved him and accepted him for who he is, Laura treats Steve like trash and then waits until all of her options of men run out just to get Steve to be her back up plan. Plus he puts Laura on the pedestal while disregarding Myra, Steve is a sucker and I bet those are the caliber of people that you're used to dealing with. Ain't no damn way on God's green earth that I'll ever be a woman's rebound guy, I'll never be stand in for a fool. 💯
@@RudolphManor Lol shut the fuck up. Thank you. :)
@@RudolphManor So, I bet that is your way of saying that real love would never have a beautiful woman like Laura pick a 'nerd' or 'dork' like Steve. In case you forgot the memo, it is common knowledge that 'nerds' and 'dorks' are the nicest people you will ever meet, most of which being successful during adulthood. Besides, it is not just your body, behavior or looks that counts. Love is also about having a good heart and a good mind. That is what REAL and TRUE love is all about. Steve was NOT a rebound. If he was, then Laura would have indeed picked Stefan instead of Steve. She didn't, meaning that Laura cared more about Steve than she would like to admit. This scene proves that real love comes in all shapes and sizes. Love always find its way and in most cases unexpected too. I am pretty sure situations like this scene happens in real life as well. And more than you know. So, try not to judge the book by its cover next time around...
@@DanielBrongers this guy is an idiot trust me it’s not worth going back and forth
Yes I love this episode! Both Steve & Stephan proposed to her! She accepted Steve’s proposal.. I love it! He finally gets the girl if his dream! Myra was a rebound because he always loved Laura since a young git..
For those saying It should’ve been Myra:
Think about this: Steve invested a lot of time trying to win Laura, as well as the fact that when Steves parents move to Russia, Carl became a father figure to him, plus Steve gave them a trip to Disney (which by 90s standards wasn’t cheap) and Steve has saved Carl’s life more than he maimed him, so that along with constantly seeing him throughout her childhood, he endeared himself to them, and he became like family to them. Steve did whatever it took to make her happy, and every time Steve changed into Stefan, Laura preferred Steve. This coupled with his willingness to improve, cast him in a more desirable light.
In regards to Myra: yes, they had a great deal in common, but the minute he decides to not be with her, she bugs his glasses and stalks him.
Myra should have dated Eddie

“I worship the rain that waters the grass that grows on the ground you walk on” - the most beautiful thing every said.
When he called her "Sweetheart"
That warmed my heart!
Wow if it took 15 years for Laura to figure out that Steve was right for her then they should of had one hell of a wedding night.
2:55 Yes! Congratulations buddy! You did it!
They both just matured that's all. They grew up.
Girl ur granny already told u, Steve was the 1…
@TJ89741 Yeah that frontal lobe developed, that's all.
I think Laura finally realized that she truly did care for Steve despite the fact she used to be annoyed by his antics.
She always liked Steve. His antics and her wanting to be with the in crowd kept them apart. She wasn’t a mean person. She was blunt. And whenever she went too far, she would always make it right. She was mean to him out of frustration. Her heart wanted what her head didn’t. Listen to the exchange between them while on that balcony at the prom. Look at her body language. In that moment, she looked upon him with love in her eyes.
That’s because it’s those same antics she came to miss when he was not around.
To be fair; EVERYONE was annoyed by his antics, including his own family, who simply turned his back on him (including his cousin Julie from Full House). The only ones who cared about Steve was Laura and her family, who - albeit reluctantly at first - even allowed him to stay and live in their house despite everything. If they didn't, then Steve would be alone with no where else to go, which would be kinda sad now that I think about it...
Myra did some good in Steve's life in Season 5 and the later seasons. People often forget that she played an important role in his maturing. Even Stefan taught Laura a life lesson in his first appearance, Dr. Urkel and Mr. Cool.
Had Myra not been introduced midway season 4 and became possessive of Steve at the end of Buds 'n' Buns, he would never made those changes in his personality and remained a stalker. By having him endure life as the Winslow's in stalking him relentlessly and invading his personal space, she taught him a hard lesson in respecting personal space. Myra took it a step further by forcibly having sex with Steve in his locker(post credit of Like a Virgin) and spying on him by drawing him naked in his room(beginning of Nunsense) to ensure the lesson stuck. In the end, he learned a hard lesson in respecting personal boundaries and realized how annoying he was to everyone in general. Steve accepted that he had a lot of growing up to do and started maturing. When he agreed to go steady with Myra at the end of Paradise Bluff, she calmed down considerably and started maturing as well. She began fitting in with Laura and her friends more. Steve was less attached to the Winslow family because Myra kept him distracted from his family issues with his parents
When Stefan first appeared, Laura was immediately smitten by him because he was cool and suave However, when his narcissistic and arrogant traits came out fueled by a lack of concern for Carl when his partner go shot, she began to be annoyed by him. Once Stefan started insulting Steve, Laura got fed up and told him off about how she felt. She told him off to return as Steve at once, pointing out that although annoying, he has been considerate, compassionate and caring of others needs. Only then, Stefan realized that he hurt Laura's feelings with his behavior. He agreed to go back as Steve by eating a tablet serving as the antidote. After returning as himself, she was so happy to see him again. Laura claims she never wanted to see Stefan again. Steve reassures her that he can begin work on improving his alter-ego immediately. In between Dr. Urkel and Mr. Cool to Stefan Returns, he did diagnostic testing on his Cool Serum and discovered flaws in it. It not only suppressed his nerdy side, but also didn't retain his caring traits and it caused some uncomfortable rashes in his personal parts. Thus, Steve began working on ways to mitigate that. For a while, Laura forgot about Stefan, but not the lessons she learned. She became careful dating guys who don't have her best interest at heart, more mindful in not going based on their appearance and get to know them first. When Maxine finally asked about if Steve could bring back Stefan in Stefan Returns, Laura was very reluctant to ask. This is because of what she went through with him and his arrogance is why she never asked for his return. After Maxine's convincing Laura finally asked Steve to bring Stefan back. By this time, he had completed the task. He upgraded his Cool Juice with Boss Sauce(which would help maintain Steve's caring traits and tone down the arrogant ones) and a transformation chamber made out of an unused port-a-potty(to cut don on those rashes form personal parts). Stefan returns still cool, but more considerate and kinder to others.
By the time season 9 rolled around there was no need to keep Stefan and Myra around because they did their job to help Steve and Laura mature.

BEST ENDING EVER .....FINALLY ( YOU GO STEVE ) 👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
I grew up watching Family Matters (I'm 35 now) and as a kid I never really paid attention to the relationship dynamic between Steve and Laura. I just started rewatching the show and I love how their relationship grows. The first few seasons you can see how Laura can't stand Steve. She tells him from the start that she has no feelings for him. When Myra was introduced in season 4 I thought she was adorable. But she is also extremely toxic. She stalks Steve and only has her interests at heart. When Stefan is introduced people went crazy for him. As did Laura. But she only saw him for his looks and he didn't have any depth. Now, I love that Steve improved on the character of Stefan but he was still not my favorite. I love how Steve and Laura grew up together. How their feelings matured and how Laura finally understands that she's always loved Steve. He never gave up on her and she pushed him to be better. They are meant to be
This man chased her to the ends of earth
That gives a whole new meaning to "I'm wearing you down" lol
Oh man…the JOY that flooded our souls when we saw this… 🥲😭
Agreed
It's actually well written, years Steve got rejected and got thrown out...when he throws himself out because he got so used to it, Laura begs him not to leave

That is my real life story my girl could not stand me but I told her one day we were going to get married I met her when we were 9 I moved from the neighborhood didn't see her for years we were both still in the same city one day I was going to a tournament but my mom wanted to go to the store before so we did she was in there so long I finally went in and she told me your girl is in here I didn't know who but I found her we talked and caught up talked about old times and I told her if she was ever in my neighborhood to come see me anytime not that weekend but the next one she did and we been together ever since that was 21 years ago stories like Laura and Steve's really do happen.
Wow, congratulations on marrying your best friend!
My opinion. Steve chose right. It would have been a big blunder on his behalf if he chose Myra.
Myra falls under the category of people who come out as loving, tender, gentle but deep down their character sucks,she's a faker. This shown by her outrageous treatment to Laura who did nothing to her whatsoever.
Whilst Laura comes out harsh, stuck up but her character is impeccable, kind, genuine, honest and loving deep down (the type of woman any man would be happy to marry)
These two are literal definitions of don't judge a book by its cover. A book may have an undesirable cover but have good content within it(Laura)
while another may have the most alluring cover but have bad content (Myra)
The only one that can distinguish between the good and bad book is the one who reads them both. And Steve read them both and saw that the first book (Laura) is the one hell like to read for the rest of his life.
in my opinion Laura does more for Steve than Myra ever did/could. All Myra did was give the boy Romantic, Sexual, physical attraction and erotism but has not shown/proven her love for him. When Steve decides to improve himself, instead of proving/showing her love for him by supporting him as she should as a loving girlfriend , she instead dumps him because she finds herself less and less attracted to him. when she imposes marriage after college to Steve and Steve ask for a bit of control and some breathing room because she is taking too much control in the relationship she dumps him because she doesn't get her way, I generally believe she likes nerds because they give her the opportunity to be in control, because nerds are characterized with frailty, they are perfect specimen for her . One important thing Ted (Myra's cousin ) said when he told Laura about Myra was that she has a attraction to nerds, so when Steve stops being a stereotypical nerd (the kind she is attracted to), she dumps him because she lost the attraction. Ppl say, but she came back for him. No. She came back to beg him not because she realized her wrong but so he could return to his former 'attractive' self and for Steve to beg for forgiveness for literally wanting to improve himself .
If someone is trying to change Steve its Myra not Laura.
Attraction is different from Love, a person may have an attraction to you, be it sexually, Romantically, physically e.t.c, but it doesn't necessarily mean they love you . Laura proved her Love for Steve throughout the series. Whenever Steve needs someone by his side it's always Laura who shows up not Myra. Whenever Steve needs advice on important issues it's Laura not Myra.whenever Steve needs someone to lift him up when he is feeling down Laura shows up not Myra.
9/10 times someone stands up for Steve it's Laura and not Myra.When it comes to listening to Steve Laura always gives Steve her full attention and acts on what ge saiys whilst Myra does not. Laura nvr forces or imposes her will on Steve but Myra does. When it maters the most Laura is always there for Steve not Myra.
Laura may have not been attracted to Steve earlier on but she loved him, but Myra was attracted to Steve but didn't love him she has consistently failed to prove her love for him throughout their entire relationship. though I agree Laura does say some mean things to Steve earlier on, but she always acknowledged her wrong doing and apologized for them, for me that shows great character.i always see comments about the mean things she did but nvr about the fact that she would always sincerely apologize/make up for them( all the time) she could be like Myra who nvr takes the blame and blames others for things she caused, like when she blamed Laura that Steve had refused to take her back but she is the one who dumped him
Additional reasons why Laura is the 'ONE' for Steve
1) Their values, principles are the same or converge in some way or another while all Steve and Myra share are common interests. Common interests can only sustain a relationship /marriage for so long it wouldn't have lasted
2)Chemistry, Steve and Laura's chemistry is mind bugging.Myra and Steve's chemistry is almost non-existent
3)Their relationship is mostly about what Myra wants, instead of what both Myra and Steve want. She always wants to get her way for example when she dumps Steve and her reason for that according her was for Steve to apologize for improving himself( becoming less of a stereotypical nerd) and for him to return to the way she is attracted to him(for me this is not Love, showing someone that you are physically, sexually attracted to them doesn't mean you love them ).you don't put the one you love in such egocentric 'Charades' that Myra put Steve through. Laura doest do this she is always straight forward and honest with this dude
4) OH YEAH, LEST I FORGET - THE GIRL IS A NUT JOB!!! (Myra).
Spoke nothing but facts 🙏🏾
Bless this comment, you are absolutely right
I read the whole comment, good take and should have more likes
I agree with everything you just typed!!!! I wish more people understood that!!
This is a top tier comment. I love how you see the nuances and underlying aspects of the writing. It’s always interesting how fooled viewers are by Myra and how they don’t really understand her character. While I like Myra, I don’t understand how people say she was better for Steve. You perfectly explain why she wasn’t Steve’s ideal mate. She and Steve may have shared common interests, but they never shared the same values.
Laura couldn't stand the thought of Steve leaving her life forever...
True!!!
well, urk did say HE WAS WEARING HER DOWN, and he did WEAR HER DOWN TO THE NUB
I wouldn’t say wearing her down it was just the fact that Laura had to stop playing herself and embraced her feelings for him relationships are about sacrifices she sacrificed being out of her element just to prove her love and feelings for Steve they pushed each other to get better people love to holler Myra and Steve just because they share the same qualities as nerds and geeks but that’s not always the case during they’re relationship they had some great moments as couples but ask yourself this what has Myra sacrificed to prove her love to Steve
@@dantewilliams7458 Myra really did not sacrifice anything. Those who say Myra wasn't so shallow in worrying about what others think like Laura supposedly did ignore the fact that Myra probably did not have a reputation to lose, being a geek herself, who does not have any friends other than her stuffed animals.
Bruh Steve been down for Laura from day 1. She aint deserve him.
I remember watching this back when it first aired. All I could think was “He did it! The son of a bitch finally wore her down!”
It takes a God-like amount of courage and sacrifice to be willing to let someone you love go in order to give them a chance to be happy. What Steve didn't realize was that Laura could never be truly happy again in her life if Steve wasn't in it. In spite of their rocky, mostly one-sided relationship up until that season, Steve has always been such a central and important figure in Laura's life, as much as her own family. His unwavering, unconditional love and support for her has never failed her.
From when he offered to drive her to her cheerleading camp after she overslept. Or when he spent 16 hours searching through a junkyard looking for her doll on Christmas in the freezing snow. Or tutoring her boyfriend in Algebra so that he can pass and play on the basketball team, despite the despair and pain it would cause him. Or setting her up with Ted for Homecoming because that's who Laura wanted to go with, even though Steve hated it for reasons obvious and it caused him further despair and pain.
Time and time again, he always put her first. And that didn't go unnoticed by Laura. That's why she eventually fell in love with him as much as he was in love with her. And the fact that Steve was about to do it again here, and for the last time, effectively ending his hopes and dreams of being with her, just so Laura can have a happy life (or so he thought), was the straw that broke the camel's back for Laura.
Remembering all those times Steve was there for her made her realize she could never picture her life without him in it... Or rather, she DIDN'T WANT TO picture her life without him in it because to lose someone as important and dear to her as Steve would have absolutely broken Laura's heart. And it's RIGHT THERE, when she realized how much she loves and adores him and wants to be with him.
As such, when you let go of that someone you love so they can be happy, only for them to come running back to you by their own choice because they can't and don't want to let YOU go and want to be with you.
THAT is True Love.
You won her you got her
I always like Laura and Steve together
Me too
Only thing missing on this episode was a montage of clips of their past..they showed several photos of them from over the years after she accepted his proposal
These two Laura Winslow and Steve Urkel went from being Best friends since kindergarten in 1981 to lovers Steve Urkel has always treated Laura Winslow with respect
From kindergarten? Which show did you watch? Her father hook them up for a middle school dance. She had three dates. He asked about cheese and that episode was his break out role. The entire series changed and was now written around his character.
@@temikalomas😮
I always get so emotional watching this episode
I would of choose Steve way before this
He truly loves her
Hi

@@LosoBanks_332 what's your question
These 2 characters in this series really shows what true love is & the pain that suffer when one of them leaves forever by understanding who is better for that person ❤😢
The Power of Black Love!
Ugh 🥰🥰🥰 those words Steve said always gets me lol. I’m like you betta say it boy this was the most touching episode ever. Yeah Stefan was cool and probably better looking but, what makes you cool is being your authentic self. I really wish we could’ve had 2 more episodes on season 9 so we could witness their wedding.
Always make me crying…..perfect example of how to love someone
One of the best comedy of all time
I WOULDN'T ALLOW MY WOMAN TO LEAVE FROM IN FRONT OF ME EITHER, LAURA WAS RIGHT NOT TO ALLOW STEVE TO LEAVE,
He is so smart
And they say nice guys finish last hahahahha
Damn it man hold the camera steady
Lol OMG I CA- stop laughing lol 😂😂
This episode made me cried he tried for so many years he finally got her the show should of ended where they got married I didn't like how they ended the show.
About time!
It's about time I knew Laura loved Steve she was just fighting her real love him that's true love alright finally .
I feel you Steve. I had to step aside myself. I still love her.
she finally said YES!
It would be cool if they had a family matters revival or spinoff, just like they did with saved by the bell andboy meets world
That would be awesome Steve and Laura as married couple, Eddie a police captain and Carl retired and spending time with his grandchildren
15 years of harassment finally paid off.
Lol
More like 15 years of needing to mature and grow up.
I love this scene so much
This is how I would've done season 9.
1. Out with the Old: No changes except at the end where Myrtle watches the kiss backstage, feels ashamed of herself because she realized how foolish she looks in trying to win Eddie's heart and relinquishes her love for him. The next day, Steve is preparing to move himself and Laura into his family house. Myrtle appears and tells him that he was right in the end. She wasted her time winning Eddie's love when she should've been working on herself and finding her own man. Since he loves Greta with his heart, she decided she's not pursuing the matter and is going back to Biloxi for a while. Someday, Myrtle will find someone who really loves and appreciates her.

When she apologizes for ruining his dinner plans, he reassures her that being with her on the cruise and her happiness is more important to him. Carl mentions to Harriette that he gave his reservation to Fletcher and Estelle. A scene cuts to them enjoying their romantic getaway at Chez Josephine's. No changes to the ending, except Laura reminds Maxine that she used to date Waldo. She reassures Laura that she didn't do this to make fun of her. It was out of irony because it took her 14 years to admit she likes Steve.
5. Who's Afraid of the Big Black Book: No changes.
6. A Journal is a Terrible Thing to Read: Eddie invades Laura's personal space after reading her journal and making a mockery of her. Steve, Greta and Maxine teaches him a hard lesson in respecting personal space after his own secrets are exposed for all to see. No changes in the subplot.

In that moment, Herb and Diane feel guilty over how they treated him and realized that all Steve wanted was love and acceptance. Carl and Harriette feel worse because of how they, Eddie and Laura once treated him. Herb and Diane apologizes to Steve and admitted that it's what they wanted to do. They were ill-equip to be parents, had asked a nurse to give them the papers to sign their rights away and give him up for adoption. However, when their relatives found out what Herb and Diane planned to do with Steve, they forced the two to keep him. They never intended to treat him the way they did and their anger was at the people who made them raise him. Herb and Diane admitted they were jealous of Carl and Harriette because they raised their children with love.

Meanwhile, Eddie is jealous of the praises Cornelius gets from Carl and goes trigger happy. Both teaches him a hard lesson when he shoots a cardboard picture of Laura. Carl points out to Eddie that those are going to be real people's lives at stake when pursuing a wanted felon and using good judgment is key to preventing this. He didn't praise Cornelius just to make Eddie jealous. Carl praised him because he show good judgment and excellent gun control during the shooting exercises.

This episode made me cry
Me too
I just peeped the fact that Steve never had one picture of Myra, but had about 10 of Laura. How he brought up marriage to Laura since they were young, but not with Myra. He even got cold feet when she brought it up. Maybe because he always knew Laura was destined to be his wife. He did say he'll wait forever if need be. Also let's remember when Steve didn't come around much she missed and told Rachel and him that. But never said that about Stefan. Even when he was in France and she was creeping with Curtis. She never mentioned missing him. Because she could picture him not in her life. Which proves that even though she had love for Stefan. She wasn't in love with him.
Laura only had "love" for Stefan because he was everything she wished Steve was like on the surface, so she had always really been in love with Steve, just not ready to accept him romantically for who he is. When Laura finally matured enough to accept Steve romantically for who he is, Stefan was no longer necessary.
This was a well executed ultimatum, and one would assume Urkel of all people wouldn't have the leverage to pull it off.
Halfway out the door, Laura what are you trying to say? Bam, mission accomplished, clone defeated.
People that are big fans of Myra and Steve needs to realize something just because you share the same qualities don’t mean that you’re right for each other always the relationship was based on what Myra wanted Laura was never liked that all she wanted Steve to do was better himself Hell he helped her better herself she was willing to step out her element just to prove her love to Steve she was stubborn and challenging but they were there for each other when it counted that’s what relationships and marriage is about sacrifice what did Myra really sacrifice for him Laura sacrificed a lot for Steve and she would never let nobody play with him or hurt him she could be mad at him but let someone talk about him and watch she act up and don’t get it twisted may the beautiful Michelle Thomas Rest In heaven the way Jaleel talks about her she was the person you fell in love with in real life but as far as her character they were never never going to be a real relationship couple
Steve and Laura did a lot for each other, and sometimes without the other person realizing it. Love requires sacrifice, and they had plenty of that on both sides. In the end, that will allow them to have a great marriage no matter what life throws their way.
The problem is that they will always continue to believe that Laura was wrong for Steve and he should've been with Myra. They aren't going to change their minds about it no matter how much you speak the truth.
Myra's behavior was toxic to begin with and Steve couldn't deal with it. That's not a basis for a healthy relationship. Myra's possessive and jealous behavior always got the better of her. Steve had flat out told her that he wasn't interested in her from the start. Myra should've known better, accepted that reality and left him alone afterwards.
At times, she has shown how similar she is to Myrtle when she doesn't get her way. Myra kept trying to force herself on Steve and not respecting personal space. He couldn't deal with such disrespect because it showed what she's truly like inside. If Myra had truly loved Steve, she wouldn't been behaving so immaturely and trusted him. She was a commitment control freak who wasn't willing to sacrifice her own wants and needs to make him happy.
@@ladyfire44 it’s based off of who they think looks better mostly
@@ladyfire44 If Myra had truly loved Steve, she would have tried to build a bond with him, like the one Steve had with Laura (and she could have succeeded seeing Laura had no romantic interest in him when she encouraged him to date Myra). Instead, she selfishly tried to attack the bond Steve shared with Laura.
They both nailed this scene. Done perfectly
Finally the nerd got the girl😀
The producers really missed a chance to make "The Big Bang Theory: Family Matters" with those two.
did i do that? urkel asked. urkel won her heart.
I love this.
go steve
laura is so beautiful
At the end of the proposal episode, there is a short compilation of laura and steve's love moments in earlier seasons. You never really thought they were actually going to marry but when you look at it, you see they were soulmates all along 😍
Forever maybe longer. Wow thats Eternal
The truth is Steve deserved Laura he had so much patience
Agreed
it wouldve been awesome if they got married on season 9
@Bold_OneIt was canceled due to Michelle Thomas’ terminal illness.
It's nice of Laura to give Steve some human dignity,after all no matter what u think of people,we all deserve human dignity
I would love to have a man like that in my life.. this was one of the best TV shows ever
I get that most people still feel that Steve should’ve remained with Myra but I personally feel like else that they ending to Steve and Laura’s feelings, how they grown and matured over seasons passed for it’s demonstrates how much Laura truly came to love and care for Steve and how much the Winslow have come to accept him as full time member of the family plus, If her actress Michelle Thomas hadn’t passed months after season 9 than we would’ve got to see the rest of her story when Myra finally (and truly) relinquishes her love for Steve at his and Laura's wedding along giving them both her blessings that she soon moves on to the next “Urkel” which happens to be none other than Steve’s street punk cousin from Detroit, Cornelius “OGD” Eugene Urkel😅.
LOL Myra would have ended up Mrs. Urkel after all!
I never watched Family Matters(don't judge) so I'm seeing this for the first time. What a beautiful moment, though I probably would have enjoyed it more if the camera person was not riding a unicycle while recording it.
I was finally glad to see it when it happened. I remember watching this episode live 25 years ago. I could tell that Steve, while very happy, was taken by surprise when Laura finally chose him over Stefan and wanted to marry him. She made the right choice. My only problem was that they dragged this out way too long. I wish they would have done this the season or two before. But better late than never. I could tell that Carl was unhappy about her decision, at first. But, in the end, he warmed up to the idea and was ready for Steve to soon be his son-in-law.
The feels
Even though this show was aimed at black viewers, alot of other families enjoyed this show. Steve urkel turned this show into what it was and how it ended.
This show wasn't just a show, it was an extention of my family and many others around the country that brought every emotion to the table at just the right time. The ending was a perfect way to go.
Why won’t a reboot happen already? What are the waiting for, christmas?
Why ruin a good show?
I never thought it would ruin the show. I was just thinking that the reboot, if it’s gonna happen should start with Laura and Steve becoming a real relationship. That would be a good way for them to finally have some fun after all the times Laura wasn’t interested in him.
Jaleel White said he wouldn’t want it without Michelle Thomas, (Myra). She’s been gone for 23 years.
@Jordan Listenbee Thanks for telling me. It’s sad she’s no longer with us. It would’ve been really cool to see what the reboot would be like.
@@_jordanslyric He WOULD want a Sonic Underground reboot.
Made me cry. So beautiful
Man this is a prime example of what putting in work is !!!!! This episode takes me back
Good old day's
I cried on this episode because she said yes it take him a long time to get her but he got her but why didn't they end the show they had a wedding and got married the show didn't ended right and why was he in space on a few episodes like I said the show didn't end right.
That moment you realize the questions wasnt about "who can you see yourself with" but rather "who can you live without?"
