I've noticed that while Henry Winkler of Happy Days is thankful for the opportunity to have played the role of Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli, Jaleel White doesn't either talk about his role as Steve Urkel on Family Matters very much or he shuns his past as the nerd.

I can't say I wanted to them marry and in fact I believe having them involed was a mistake. But the biggest was ABC letting the show go to CBS.
BTW was there any real ending to the show or 238was just [pulled from CBS?
I've had a pain in the a$$ for the past 45 years! You got any soup for that? -

I think that the original intention of this thread was to point out that both the Fonz and Urkel began as one-time guest appearances on the show, but became the hit of the show and eventually the main star. How many others can you think of? I know this one was always an original cast member, but J.J. from "Good Times" comes to mind as a character who eventually overshadowed all the others (some even called it "The J.J. Show") Besides him there's 'Gopher' from "Love Boat", 'Vinnie Barbarino' from "Welcome Back Kotter", 'Ponch' from "CHIPS", 'Joey' from "Blossom", and others.
