Did I Do That? A Look Back At Family Matters

A Grand Entrance on Step by Step

In the original ABC broadcast, the final gag of the third season of Family Matters, “Brains Over Brawn,” led directly to the opening of the second episode of Step by Step, “The Dance.” Steve Urkel’s jet pack causes him to fly through the Winslows’ roof as the final episode of the third season ends, and crash land in Port Washington, Wisconsin where the Lambert-Foster family of Step by Step is enjoying a family barbecue.

Urkel then goes on to help his pen pal Mark Foster and comforts Al Lambert after her date dumps her just before the school dance. He also does his infamous dance—The Urkel Dance—in the Step by Step episode.
