Come on. Admit it. Watching the ABC lineup of family sitcoms 20 years ago was one of those guilty pleasures in which you indulged yourself. Silly? Yes. Predictable? You bet. They brought with them numerous of catchphrases that infiltrated our culture -- for example, in Full House, every member of the Full House-hold had their own phrase that was used a minimum of three times per episode. Like "you got it, dude" and "have mercy" and one I still use -- "how rude!"
Somehow, though, the most lovable of characters was Family Matters' clumsy, geeky, goofy Steve Urkel. That little guy reminded us about the value of determination ... perseverance ... kindness ... loyalty ... and the power of friendship. He gave us lessons in "might is not always right," "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," and showed us how to "turn the other cheek."
I don't have an Urkel in my life right now; more's the pity. However, he's present almost daily with me because he makes me smile, and reminds me that things are going to be okay. And in my clumsy states I remember one of the catchphrases for which he's most known -- one that is written on the faces of everyone at one time or another. And that means it's very SCRAP-ABLE!!!

Hope this little reminder brings a smile to your day ... and a photographic memory to you mind's eye, to inspire you to find the perfect photo to use this little word art.

LOL oh this is so perfect for the photos I took of my son seconds before seeing this in my email lol. Thanks so much!
I've got just the photos of my children to use with this fabulous word art! I still enjoy watching Family Matters, Full House, Growing Pains, etc. on re-runs. :)
Hi, I used your Black is my color
Cute wordart. Thank you.
Yup, I'll readily admit to the guilty pleasure of watching those 80's sitcoms. Loved Steve and the whole gang at Family Matters, as well as Who's the Boss, Full House, Major Dad, and my all-time favorite Cosby Show. I'm so glad at least some of these are still around, because Cosby is now one of my kids' favorite shows as well, and they watch Full House occasionally as well. I've actually been looking for Major Dad on DVD or video, because I really think the kids would get a kick out of it, but no luck so far.
Anyway, thanks for the trip to the past, and for the wonderful word art!
