Legendary '90s sitcom rumored for reboot with original cast and a VERY surprising twist
One of the original stars of the popular '90s sitcom Family Matters is working on a reboot of the series... but it comes with a surprising twist. Bryton James, who played Richie Crawford on the show, has revealed that he is currently working on updating Family Matters by turning it into an animated series. The actor, 39, told Entertainment Weekly that his plan involves 'taking the old episodes and modernizing them and kind of starting from scratch for the new generation.' While the animated reboot has yet to be officially greenlit, James has already found a production company to finance the project. He also said that the original cast are on board for the project, including breakout star Jaleel White. 'It's sitting in Warner Bros.' hands right now… That plan is still kind of floating around out there, and I'm still trying to pursue it,' he said. Family Matters premiered in 1989 and went on to become one of the most successful shows of the '90s. It reached over 26 million viewers at its peak and won a slew of awards, including three NAACP Image Awards for White's role as Steve Urkel. White, 48, was just 12 when he landed the role of the geeky Urkel, which was originally supposed to be a fleeting guest role lasting one episode. The Urkel character quickly became so popular that he was promoted to a series regular and eventually the central character of the sitcom. In his memoir Growing Up Urkel, White revealed that he was told by network executives to wear loose-fitting jeans 'to hide his bulge' once he turned 20. The actor said he was growing out of the character by Season 8, but the network still wanted to keep the show going. White claimed TV executives told him, 'Let's get rid of the suspenders. Lower his pants, too.' He said the execs added, 'Oh and... it's getting a bit uncomfortable watching him in tight jeans. There's a, uh... bulge.' Along with the suspenders and tight pants, one of Urkel's trademarks was his high-pitched voice, which, as he got older, became 'physically painful' to recreate. The pain was so intense that he even considered leaving the show that made him a star, though he ultimately stayed through all nine seasons before it went off the air in 1998. He also revealed in 2021 that his co-stars didn't handle his growing fame too well. 'I didn't see how I was stepping on anybody's toes, [or] taking anybody's shine,' White revealed to TVOne's Uncensored in 2021. 'It's very important that I say this: I was not very well welcomed to the cast at all,' he alleged. 'And I don't need to rehash that with the adults over and over again. They know what it is,' he insisted.
