Jaleel White declines Family Matters reboot over concerns of cash grab

Jaleel White, known for his role as Steve Urkel on "Family Matters," has declined a potential reboot of the show. He stated he is not interested in projects that seem like a "cash grab" without a solid script. White emphasized the importance of advancing the show's legacy rather than simply revisiting it for profit. He mentioned that he was offered a low-paying contract without a script, which he found unappealing. "Family Matters" originally aired from 1989 to 1998, becoming a significant part of television history. The show featured an African-American family in Chicago and introduced the iconic character of Steve Urkel, who became a central figure in the series.
