A few years ago I would have said that Urkel would have gone down as one of the most memorable TV characters alongside such characters as Andy Tayler (Andy Griffith Show), Archie Bunker (All in the Family), and Lucy Ricardo (I Love Lucy), but Urkel is fading fast. It's been a long time since I've flipped through the channels and stumbled on a rerun of Family Matters. Anyone who grew up in the 90s will probably always remember him, but I suspect that older generations will forget him, and and that younger generations will never know who he was.
