Guest Star As Self or Character?

Based on the guest stars on FH, would you say you preferred it more when guest stars starred as themselves (I'm sure you know who they would be) or as fictional characters (like Kirk Cameron as cousin Steve)?  Usually the big stars were pretty much made to be name-dropped but there were still some memorable characters played by well-known people.

I would say I tended to like when guest stars played characters because it fit more within the reality of the show and didn't make it like the Tanners were always running into ranomd celebrities, lol.  It was nice to see the 1988 Beach Boys of course.

I liked it when Steve Urkel was on FH. Bets episode ever. Plus it was hilarious.

So that would mean you probably like the guest star playing a character.  It was amusing with Urkel trying to show Jesse how to walk.  Plus the awkward talk with Stephanie was sweet, lol.

Heh of course....what character did Urkel play? I forgot.

I'm pretty sure you're just goofing around but Urkel is the character, not the actor anyways, lol.

Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........I'll adda big Duh on my part...It's been forever since I saw that episode.

Yeah.  It might make more sense if you were a big Family Matters fan.  Of course, they could still have the person somewhat playing themselves like Will Smith in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air playing the character of Will Smith, but that doesn't happen that frequently I don't think.

Just think how crazy Full House would been if, for example, they were the Olsen family and Michelle inexplicably had two names because there were two actresses and they were trying to play a character of the same name.
