I found a solution to the pronunciation issue and it is that I do neither. When TBS replaced their daily afternoon reruns of Growing Pains with Family Matters (emphasis on the first word, btw), I got mad. My boycott of this crappy show has lasted since that day, and I never call it by its name. I cleverly replaced Matters in the title with "Crappers," and I immediately began referring to Urkel as "Urine." To this day, I haven't watched an episode of that garbage Family Crappers show. Except for one time last summer, when I was hammered and it was on at two in the morning and Carl and Urine were tag-team wrestling The Legion of Doom in some podunk civic center or something.
