Urkel Saves Santa: The Movie (2023)


The Family Matters-verse (?) expands with a direct-to-streaming one-off special revolving around the quintessential nerd, Steve Urkel. Inexplicably, he's the same age as he was in the series, yet somehow it's set in modern times and the Winslows are nowhere to be found. Is this an alternate timeline? The questions that aren't asked are somehow the most fascinating part of this strange nostalgia cash-in. Jaleel White returns to voice the character, but that's the only way to positively spin the whole thing. It's hot garbage and I'm not entirely sure who the target audience is, since most fans are in their 40s.
