Robo-Nerd (#3.7)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 24 June 2013]

In this episode Family Matters goes all the way into science fiction and presents us a classic story of an artificial life that falls in love in a very Frankenstein kind of way.

I really love how they made this Robot, it really looks so much alike with Urkel! As well as his little dancing moves, putting oil on himself and repeating the voices of the whole Winslow family.

And it has the absolutely hilarious moment when Eddie and Waldo worry they will be replaced by machines now that robots are chasing girls! The ending at Steve's basement does a great job at parodying a scifi creepiness. All in all a very good episode

In this episode we have two storylines: Carl is (once again) worried that his mother is dating. Steve Urkel designs a robot version of himself in orden to win a science contest. I really liked this episode, although the Carl premise is a tired one, the conclusion is (so expected) but actually cute, as we see him training alone to be harsh to his momma, only to apologize to her when she is in front of him. I love Estelle , but the way everything she says it's received with a "wooo" from the audience it's kind of anoying, it's like because she is much older she wasn't supposed to be smart or witty. This part is overcompensated however by the brilliant plot of Steve's part, this was when Steve Urkel was in this prime, the idea is great, it's greatly executed, the robot is so funny, the ending kind of pays homages to old sci fi horror films, like Westworld, in a very effective way, honestly I think this would be a 10 for me had not been for Carl's part, the way it ends with Laura and Steve is ever so sweet, and the way Steve uses the classic "Did I Do That?" in a positive way, for something good he actually did was great. 8/10 Peter Shelby ********
