...Family Matters” star Steve Urkel decided to raise a child together? A kid with a love of numbingly-elaborate swordplay, an itch for preschool humor, and a bunch of very irritated classmates.

Perhaps therein also lies the answer to why Jack's ratings in many cities dip after its first two months. It soon dawns on the Gen Xers that their cool, eclectic music collection is actually the new American songbook, just as their snarky cynicism is the generic spawn of David Letterman.
