Family Matters "Stevil" (25 October, 1996)
Hey weirdos. It's finally here - the much talked about cross-over episode with Keep It Weird!! We're proud to welcome as special guests the hosts of Keep it Weird podcast Ashley Casseday and Lauren Ogle. In the spirit of keeping things weird we watched one of the weirdest, spooky-ooky kooky 22 minutes of TV ever produced - the Family Matters Halloween Spectacular known as "Stevil." As you may already know lovable nerd Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) was only intended as a 1 off character but he proved so popular that he upstaged the entire Winslow family. We've seen Steve Nutty Professor himself into Stefan Urquel, develop world altering technology like teleportation and cloning. But none of it comes close to tonight's tale of terror. Steve introduces us to a ventriloquist dummy made in his own image. The Winslows are appropriately horrified by the doll as well as Steve's sorry excuse for ventriloquism. A stray bolt of lightening imbues the doll with the gift of life but the doll has a lust for Winslow blood and is soon aptly named Stevil. The Winslows are taken out by Stevil with the real Steve helpless to stop him. Much like we were helpless to sit through this episode. Join us as Lauren and Ashley help us navigate the murky waters of talking dolls, psychic pagers and celebrity mediums.
