This show got way worse as it went on. It isn't that Steve even ruined the show. The plots just became absolutely ridiculous and in later seasons 95% of the plots stuck essentially to Steve trying to get Laura, Steve and Carl involved in something and Steve messing it up or some combo of those two. Steve and Carl would basically trade the same back and forth types of cliched lines and that was that. It's largely harmless fun but those later seasons get repetitive and ridiculous at times. I think Jaleel White was worried about Steve as a type cast but it's really Reginald VelJohnson I absolutely cannot see and immediately think Carl.

Family Matters
(1989–1998)
It gets worse as it goes on (but I still like it to a degree)
