    umm i heard a bad word in the sing

    I was just re-watching this episode here on my phone and saw that the lyrics that the girl smooth or whatever her name is saying, and she drops in the f bomb it goes something something something F deep.😳😳😳 how did we not catch this way back when when it was first aired? I mean shouldn't they bleed that out now because that isn't cool. I am just really surprised they allowed that and nobody went back to check or when this was first released what the girl was actually saying in the rap song.

    I mean don't give me wrong words today like this are used in every day language but to be on TV back then and they have her drop the F bomb in there I don't know what are you guys think see if you can hear it put your close captioning on it's there.

    Person is wrong

    Forget the review that is posted as a Featured Review due to the fact of no bad words where used in this episode period. The show is called FAMILY MATTERS, which means the WHOLE family can watch this entire show without worrying about bad language. Alot of people could use the life lessons that are taught in this wonderful show. In this episode there is a music artist that raps for a few seconds and not once uses any bad words at all, in fact, if you turn on closed captions, you can read the actual words that are being sung. This entire show is about the dream family that most people could only dream about.

      Laura and Steve share a romantic moment, but it is never mentioned again, not even when a romance plot is introduced in the last season.
    • Quotes

      Robbins: Hey everyone, Laura Winslow's date is Steve Urkel

      [prom guests gasp]

      Donna Santangelo: And get this, Urkel's tuxedo fits!

      [Prom Guests Gasp]

      Laura: [as Steve and Laura walk in, the guests gasp again] Steve, everyone gasped.

      Steve Urkel: Of course. You're so beautiful, you take their breath away.

      Laura: Is it my imagination or is your voice lower?

      Steve Urkel: I think it's because these pants are so loose!

      Maxine Johnson: Ooh Laura, you look good.

      Laura: So do you Max, guess what, Steve rented us a limo.

      Waldo: We rented us a limo station wagon. All we had to do was drop some dead guy off at the graveyard.

      Maxine Johnson: Was there a line to get your pictures taken when you guys walked in?

      Steve Urkel: No, but it was moving kinda fast. Let's trot on over there and see what develops.

      [laughs and snorts]
