Family Matters Icon Jaleel White Explains Why He Doesn’t Think The Show Should Be Revived, And I Think He Makes Plenty Of Good Points

TV spinoffs, revivals and reboots have been dominating the entertainment landscape in recent years, but not every classic property has been revamped. One such show is Family Matters, which many would surely call one of ABC’s greatest TGIF shows. So, with that distinction, one would think that a follow-up of sorts would be in the works. While it remains to be seen if that actually happens, series star Jaleel White doesn’t think the sitcom should be revived. And, to be honest, I think the veteran actor makes some good points.

Jaleel White recently appeared at a panel at ‘90s Con in Florida, where he discussed his career, including his iconic turn as the lovable nerd Steve Urkel. During the event, the former child star addressed the prospect of the show being rebooted and didn’t sound all that bullish. The actor conveyed that he’s long analyzed the franchise, which he still loves today like so many fans. However, it’s that level of evaluation that’s brought him to the conclusion that a revival doesn’t need to be produced:

It’s the toughest question I’ve had to answer for a very long time. But I really study why our shows work. And it has nothing to do with me not loving our old property, are you kidding me? I love Family Matters more than any of you guys could ever love Family Matters. I also know our strengths and weaknesses the way a coach would know his lineup. I’m not going to try us out on the field for anything less than absolute victory.
