\\u201cDr. Urkel and Mr. Cool\\u201d (November 12, 1993)

Yep, we finally figured out a way to talk about Family Matters. When Laura asks Steve why he is the way his is, he says he\\u2019s born this way \\u2014 but then he uses science to become someone else. The metaphors are easy to make, even if the writers probably didn\\u2019t have anything gay in mind when they made this episode. Prepare for an overview of all the Family Matters lore you forgot you knew.
