The A.V. Club
Steve Urkel is something of the anti-Fonzi or a cool Screech, depending on your interpretation.

Common Sense Media
Full of funny moments and life lessons about the value of family, friends, and friends who become family, this is still a terrific show for families to watch together.

IMDb
The first season was pretty basic ... but Steve Urkel kept viewers watching due to his crush on Laura, his attire, his voice, his kind heart, his clumsiness; everything about him screamed good ratings.

Metacritic
Everything was going along just fine until one day, Steve Urkel, the inventive nerd, barged into their home and eventually, into their hearts.

He stole the show out from under the original cast through pure energy and originality.
