Family Matters' "Do the Urkel" dance turns 30
-
The Feb. 8, 1991 episode of the "TGIF" sitcom turned its breakout character into an even bigger pop-culture phenomenon, thanks to "Do the Urkel" dance. "It was just another episode to do, and choreography to get down," says Jaleel White. "Any long-term thought that we were going to have the whole country or kids doing this — you didn't think like that. In 1991, you didn't try to go viral!"
