These days it seems every streaming service and network is rebooting some old television series from the 80s or 90s. Saturday Night Live has some ideas of their own for the next big reboot. They want to see a new gritty updated version of Family Matters.
This updated version has a new spin on the popular sitcom with the Winslows living on the bad side of Chicago instead of their upper class California neighborhood. Although Urkel still has his nerdy persona the mean streets of Chicago have hardened him up and in one scene he repeatedly hits Mikey Day’s character while saying his catchphrase 'did I do that'
All the major characters from the original show are acted out by the SNL crew. Ego Nwodim plays Laura Winslow. Kenan Thompson plays Carl Winslow. And of course Urkel himself is portrayed with great comedic effect by Chris Redd.
I really love this skit. I often watched Family Matters when I was younger and seeing the characters I enjoyed watching so much parodied by the SNL cast was a real treat. Don't pass this one up. It's worth a watch.
