Step by Step, starring the iconic Suzanne Somers, deserves just as much recognition as other TGIF classics like Family Matters and Full House.
The Big Picture On October 15, the entertainment world mourned when Suzanne Somers passed away at the age of 76. Somers had been a major name in Hollywood for half a century, ever since her small but attention-getting role as Blonde in T-Bird in George Lucas' American Graffiti in 1973. It was four years later, of course, that she would become a household name, thanks to playing Chrissy Snow in Three's Company.
Who Starred in 'Step by Step'? Family Matters began as a spinoff of Perfect Strangers, with Harriette Winslow playing an elevator operator on the popular series, which was also part of the early TGIF lineup. Step by Step wasn't a spinoff, but it worked right out of the gate by feeling so familiar. Audiences already knew and loved Patrick Duffy and Suzanne Somers.
Why Was 'Step by Step' One of the Best 90s Sitcoms? It didn't take long for Family Matters to fall into a trap that both helped and hindered them. When Steve Urkel arrived during the first season, he was only meant to be a one-time character, however, audiences loved him so much that he quickly became the star of the show. Family Matters was the Steve Urkel show. There might have been other lovable characters, but everything revolved around Urkel.
It's the kids who steal the show, without making it about them, simply by being so diverse in their personalities. Frank's kids are common folk, the type who live dirty in the first episode. There's J.T., the tomboy Al , and Brendan , who is pretty chill about everything. Carol's kids are more well-to-do and wound tight. Besides Dana, there's the self-obsessed Karen and the nerdy Mark .
