Goddamn, I must have forgotten all about that cheesy line. Oh, how I wish that was the episode where Michelle got amnesia, leaving her wandering the streets of San Francisco while her father is attempting to sell the house. He sells the house with no problem (Michelle isn't around to stop him, after all), and they all move out with the quickness.

When Michelle comes to, she returns "home" to the new crime syndicate (because I'm convinced that guy is a mobster, lol) that has set up shop at her pwuh-ecious home. Because Michelle has found out about the gang's hideout, they must kill her. Nobody cares to look for Michelle because they're all just so glad she wasn't around to interfere for once, and they've just purchased a new loft apartment for ALL of them to live in, you know, so they can be even closer. Fin.

BWAH!

I would definitely tune in to watch that episode!

The most disturbing part of the episode of course was seeing Joey in the bathtub. What about censorship ? Isn't there laws against that sort of stuff ?

Yea, Michelle was at her worst that show. I had the same thoughts. Grow up, child. Let your uncle and his family get their own home, own yard, and some freedom. You can visit, they can visit. And 3 girls AND Joey sharing one bathroom ?? SO wrong. Yall need room. Plus they would have had 2 x as much money, that would have been awesome for family.
Of course, I can not see the actor without seeing him as John Allen Hill saying Sammm on Cheers.

Edited to change spelling.

I think the episodes I like the most were when Stephanie was older. I'm about her age, so I always felt the "connection" with her role. lol. I liked the episodes when Michelle was a baby also. Because she looked cute (baby's are always cute) and because she DIDN'T TALK! I also didn't understand the Counting Crows epi. Who in the hell would let their little daughter go to a concert like that even if she was with her older sis?!?!

I'd pay to watch that. Yeah, I loved the inevitable music at the end while Danny or somebody reveals the moral of the episode. So riveting. So moving. (Vomit)

Another cheesy moment was when Uncle Jesse gets married and is getting ready to move out and he and Michelle share a tearful goodbye in her room. The tears on both of them are so unbelievably fake. They smiled and hugged, and literally two seconds later, they are shown with big tears on their cheeks. LOL.

Now that I watch that Jesse and Michelle episode, all I can do is laugh. Another I hate Michelle moment, was when she was going through her politeness week phase, and near the end, she grabbed Stephanie's cupcake. I really wanted to slap her durning that. God, how hard is it to get your own? Stupid little troll.

There were quite a few episodes where Michelle was portrayed as "Law Enforcement Agent of the Week". The politeness week thing was one, and yet another was when DJ was studying for SATs and she came in with the twins babbling something about safety. Who the hell writes this crap?

I remember this one. Michelle said she was the safety police or something and the twins were her "deputies". Kimmi's jacket was on a lamp and could start a fire, so Michelle gave her a "ticket" (i.e. a post-it note with a frowny-face).

Hate. Murderous, blinding rage. Wrenching out my own teeth and spitting them at the screen. Screaming obscenities so that not so much as a cockroach felt bold enough to remain in the room.

Yeah, I don't really like Michelle all that much.

I don't know why, but I always thought she was a weird looking baby. I think they are currently prettier than they were as young'ns. I just think people get more beautiful with age.



I gotta agree with ya here. Though, even when she didn't talk, she found a way to make me mad. As I said in an earlier post, I always hated how the staff of FH made her look all smart because she reacted to whatever the bonehead men said to her right on cue, even though any moron with a quarter of a brain knew that someone was telling her (O.S.) what to do. The camera would cut and you would see Michelle looking in a totally different direction than where the adult was standing.

[OT]When I was about 14 or 15, I took my little sister to see her then-favorite band...PRODIGY. We were by ourselves. I am guessing Counting Crows' show was a bit more tame(okay, I'm HOPING it was more tame), so it's not entirely out of the question in my eyes that they thought it was okay for Michelle to go as long as she was with DJ. Of course, MY little sister wasn't a nutcase, she actually liked the band, and she listened to me when I told her to do/not do stuff. So, Michelle Tanner, she was not.[/OT]

By the way, ChinkyGirl, they need to hire you to write the FH reunion special!!! The house eppy is one of my least favorites. You don't let a child, who obviously has no concept of money -- and for that matter, no concept of privacy(but really, who can blame her, being raised in THAT house?!) make decisions on the living accommodations for 8 other people!

Heh, thanks Miss Aquarius! I will think up some suggestions for a reunion special and submit it for everyone's approval here someday! :)

So I've been watching the reruns of the first season eps this week, which I think was one of the better seasons. In the "Oat Boats" episode I noticed a line that was interesting- when Danny turns to one-year-old Mary Kate or Ashley and says "Don't ever go into acting." That line has a whole new meaning considering the mega-stars the Olsens are now, and it made the line a lot funnier than it was back in 1987.

And the ep when Joey gives up on comedy to become a wall-street business tycoon- I didn't know it was that easy to become a business executive. Don't you have to go to business school or something? What the hell did Joey put on his resume? "I've been doing Popeye and Bullwinkle impressions for 10 years, and I really love Lee Iacocca!" "You're hired!"
The fact that Joey was being showered with job offers always makes me laugh (and a lot more than his painfully unfunny comedy routine). But then again, maybe in the '80s it was that easy to get a job.

Phenobarbara, I've noticed too that 1st season Stephanie is wearing earring studs in almost every episode. I don't think she had them in later seasons, so maybe the writers just forgot about them ( or thought viewers would forget). Slight continuity error there.

Who cannot remember Kimmy Gibbler on this show? Long, lanky, weird clothes-wearing, weird food-eating, smelly feet-having Kimmy. I thought Andrea Barber was funny as Kimmy and coming across the show yesterday on NaN, my siblings and I were wondering what happened to her.

Sad as I am, I was trying to tell which twin was which yesterday on FH. I can tell them apart now (sadly it has to do with MK's issues now), but still. It's funny how they're fraternal, but look so identical. Ah, genetics.

I was out of town for three weeks and am trying to catch up. Love that this thread has been humming along the whole time!



You know, I never even thought of this until I read that line. But now, reaching back into the recesses of my memory....you are right! I can't immediately bring to mind any warm, fuzzy, diabetic-coma-inducingly sweet moments between Jesse and Steph -- not the way he had them with Michelle and even DJ. That is really weird. I don't recall them interacting much at all, except in those cases when two of the girls were having a dispute and two of the guys interceded. And then it seems like Jesse was always on Michelle's or DJ's side and Steph was left with whichever other boob happened to stumble in at that moment.



Wanna see something even worse? I will be 30 in a couple months. *Clearing throat* Hey, would anybody like to buy one slightly used big brother? Even if you have one now, trade him for another!

I'm so ashamed.



Wordy McWord!!! Back in the day I thought Michelle was just too danged adorable for her own good (witness above singing of song from MK&A album). But now that I'm all growed up and have kids of my own....just NO. I find myself watching the eps now, yelling, "Slap the shit out of that child. NOW!!!" I saw the above-quoted ep a while back and about fell the fuck out of my chair. The day I pulled crap like that with my kids is the day they'd be hauling me off to some kind of home because I'd have to have lost my ever-loving mind!

RE: the last episode -- I saw several people mention the general crappiness of it. IIRC, back when the ep was written and filmed they were actually not sure if it was being cancelled or not. ABC was still pussyfooting around and making it sound as though there was a chance FH would continue. So the ep was actually written as a season ender rather than a series ender. It was only after the ep was in the can and on its way that ABC axed "TGIF" and the cast found out there would be no more. If they'd known I think they would have gone a totally different direction and done a bang-up job of it.

Ahhh, Kimmy. "Hola, Tannerinos!" LOL. I liked when she constantly insulted Danny about his tall stature and skinny frame.

About Jesse not being close to Stephanie nor favoring her as he did Michelle...great point. The only time he seemed to interact with Stephanie was to reprimand her for something. Like when she teased that boy, who, according to their classmates, resembled a duck. Jesse was correct when he made her apologize to the boy, but instead of just leaving it at that, he made a huge spectacle about it, embarrassed Stephanie in front of her friends, and basically ignored the fact that the boy turned into a creepy little stalker.

Ah, sweet, sweet Walter, and his Secret Girlfriend Stephanie. Didn't they throw bread at him? Good times.

I don't think you're exagerrating. I swear to God, if I have to watch ONE MORE damn commercial for Good Will Hunting, Love Rules, or Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone I am going to KILL myself.



I'm not sure if they do it on Nick at Nite, but I have also definitely noticed them cutting out to commercial too quickly at the end of scenes, and definitely leaving stuff out at times on ABC Family as well. They do it with 7th Heaven too. Not that I watch it or anything. But if I did, I would definitely say that Annie is a hag.



Yet Disney sees nothing wrong with shameless plugging and prostitution of itself on the "let's take the family to Disney World" episodes that every single ABC sitcom has ever had.



Definitely true, I notice that a lot more now that I'm older. The Olsen twins had great personalities for TV babies.



If Kirk knew that he probably wouldn't have married her.



Not a blooper, just not enough foresight or continuity. In the very episodes actually leading up to this one, Steph had pierced ears, at that same age. Seems like the producers just wanted to use this particular story line and figured that no one was paying that close attention to Steph prior to that episode to know whether she had pierced ears or not.

That "Christmas Scrooge" episode was on last night, and it was yet another Michelle saves the day story. Poor Uncle Jesse lost his Christmas spirit, but Michelle invited the mean old man home for dinner and everything was solved. Stupid, stupid plot. Especially with the guy calling people in Oregon on the Tanners' phone. Of course Jesse tells him to call, he's not paying the phone bill.

The one shining moment was when Michelle got Danny that big drink-holder tie and she said she was going to wrap it so "Dad won't know what it is." Then Kimmy says, "She could give it to him right now and he wouldn't know what it is." That Kimmy, she was pretty funny at times.

i'm a long time lurker that finally decided to join in.

on topic, i just wanted to add to the lack of interaction between stephanie and jesse. there was an episode where stephanie was doing a project with a classmate named charles who was abused by his father at home. stephanie told jesse (???? of all people) and he immediately called child services.

i remember later in the episode she came home and he told her that charles was being taken away, and she got all upset. but i do recall there was some tenderness in that moment as he gently explained to her that it would be better for charles to be away from his dad.

then again, that ep was just full house's way of trying to tackle a "serious issue" , just like that blasted Papouli episode. I'm so sad, but does anyone remember the promos for that? they were like "gather your family for a very special Full House". they did it every hour, before the ep, AND after they had a hotline to call or something. good lord, i thought the episode was going to be a lot more tragic than it was for all the hype.

I'm drawing a blank; which was that one?

it was the one where the kids' great grandfather (was he great or just regular?) grandfather comes from greece to visit. and of course, they meet him once, and he makes everyone soo happy, and they do this dumb dance in flour and make a big mess, but it doesn't matter because they're danny's kids, and he doesn't do shit whenever they mess up.

in the course of the half hour, papouli dies, and michelle (of course) really gets upset, but the family gets together and tells her the great circle of life, and how he's in heaven, blah blah blah cue sappy music. the end.

it never ceases to amaze me how much i remember about a show i hate so much.

Please use capital letters.

RE: Last night's Scrooge/Mickey Rooney ep - The Olsen twins have got to be the worst actresses in the world. In this episode, when she was talking to Jesse, she sounded so fake and insincere, it killed me to listen to it.

Also, I thought the screen would explode with cheese the minute everyone gathered around the musical candy cane toothbrush and started singing along. Then Scrooge puts the phone up to it: "Hey Timmy! Listen! It's a musical candy cane toothbrush...it's truly a Christmas miracle!" Sure gramps...tell us where you are again? Riiiight...we're sending along some nice men to pick you up.

Random thoughts: I bet the Jesse/Stephanie hate started when she hacked off his hair in the first season. Also, Papouli was their great grandfather (Jesse's/Pam's grandfather).

Good lord, how embarrassing.

I'm so ashamed that I got warned on my first post!

ChinkyGirl, in the episode where Stephanie hacks off Jesse's hair, doesn't he break both of his arms too? I can't seem to remember what he does to break his arms....does anyone know?

Don't feel too bad :)

IIRC, Steph is playing hairdresser and accidentally chops off a chunk of Jesse's hair. He then has to go to his own hairdresser to get it adjusted, and here is where it's a bit sketchy: either he was so upset about what Steph did, or his hairdresser messed it up even more. Either way, he was upset, and he blamed the accident on Steph also.

Gee...how would you like to have an uncle like that?

Especially since she totally did him a favor with the hair.

Not to be a pain, but what exactly did he do to break his arms? All I remember is him trying to eat cereal and it was this big drawn out production for which he got applause because he was able to get the banana out of it's peel without the use of his hands.

ITA she did do him a favor. What was with these Full House guys and their mullets?

Welcome, Ivana! Jesse was so upset about his hair that when he rode his motorcycle out of the parking lot(I think it was a parking lot), he used the SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE wrong-way exit and trashed his bike, breaking both his arms as well.

Ahh yes, the motorcycle accident. It's all coming back to me now. The only funny part I really remember is Jesse eating cereal with a big wooden spoon and having no choice but to fling it towards his mouth.

Okay, that episode and the one in which Jesse's extended family comes over from Greece were absolutely the cheesiest, lamest, stupidest episodes ever. The stereotypes they shoved down our throats were maddening. Yeah, every family in Greece wears clothes from the 1800's. Yeah, every Greek man over the age of 40 passes the time by dancing in a circle. Every culture has traditions, but the show made these people out to be caricatures.

Oh, and remember Stavros, Jesse's lecherous cousin? LMAO. John Stamos had such range.

Let's not forget the first Papouli episode, where DJ got married by walking around a freakin' TABLE with that random Greek boy from the village...and when they had to get a divorce(and Jesse and random Greek boy's random Greek sister wanted divorces too), Papouli actually said "Since no farm animals have exchanged hands, a divorce is possible..." I totally cringed. Anybody remember the episode where Jesse talks about getting teased as a kid(they used to call him Zorba the Geek)? I bet they had to pay multiple writers to come up with that zinger.

Edited because I originally said "Let's not forget the first episode" and didn't want people to think I had a brainfart and meant the pilot...

Didn't they just walk backwards around the table to get divorced? Haha, these writers are so brainless. I'm not even Greek, and that's insulting.

OMG, Stavros!! That was pure cheese. I just remember how awful John Stamos looked with that terrible excuse for a fake nose.

Can I just quickly quote one of my favorite lines from Full House?

(not verbatim)

Kimmy: Oh, let's read our horoscopes!
Steph: What's that? A microscope with your face at the end of it?

Ah, that Steph. That was a good zinger for an 11 year old.

Oh yeah, forgot about the old dude kicking the bucket. I don't know that I've seen that one since it was originally aired. I certainly haven't seen it on ABC Fam. or Nick at Nite.

Stavros really made me cringe! Especially when he got that smarmy look when her was hitting on Becky...ugh!

I remember that episode too. Was it me, or did they all act a little overdramatic when they were in the kitchen crying? Did any of them (outside of Jesse) ever meet Papouli before he came to visit? He seemed like a great guy and all, but jeez, i don't think i have ever seen so many fake tears in one scene.

And does Michelle need a plotline every episode, no matter if it's a, b or c, it will always revolve around her. Egads.

Yes! Good lord, that was the lamest thing ever.



It was way overdramatic. They knew him for what, one day? Jesse's sorrow was overdramtic, too. I think they were just going for (what another poster said) "a very special Full House" episode, whereby the knowledgeable and wise Full House writers teach us viewers about family, morals, and tradition.



Stupid as the writers were, their one saving grace was Stephanie's one liners/insults at Kimmy. Those were brilliant.

This episode bothered me so much because I wasn't feeling the emotion it was trying to get across. He was only the girls' great-grandfather, whom they only met once before. The only person who really should have been THAT distraught was Jesse. I found Michelle's intense sadness to be the most annoying, because most kids that age aren't mature enough to understand death and feel the kind of emotions adults feel. This episode just screams, "Look, our cast is talented enough to cry on cue! See the Olsen Twins in their most emotional performance yet!" *vomits* Though I have to give some credit to Ashley (yeah, I know it was her, haha) for being able to cry on the boat like that, but the build-up to it was drawn out and obvious. It seemed like both John Stamos and someone off camera were coaching her through all the steps to get the tears out.

I think I genuinely laughed at two moments from this show:

1) When Stephanie can't seem to figure out why her recorder (as in, the musical instrument) won't play a certain high note. Jesse takes it and blows into it as hard as he could, and a piece of gum flies out and gets stuck to Michelle's head. I still laugh whenever I see that one in reruns.

2) When DJ and Steve accidentally hit the switch to the cement truck and all the cement comes crashing in through the kitchen window, Jesse and Danny are running around trying to get it up. Jesse runs and gets a glass bowl, and Danny yells "My MOTHER gave me that!" Just the way he says it makes me howl like a loon. Unfortunately, the last time I saw that particular episode, I was at the gym on the treadmill, so now everybody there probably thinks I'm nuts.

I was watching something on Lifetime the other day, and they kept having commercials for a new movie called "Baby for Sale." I couldn't help it, I immediately started singing "Baby for sale, only 50 cents..." I am going to hell.

"On top of old Smokey..."

How many times has the Tanner kitchen been destroyed? First dumbass Steph driving the car, and also the cement truck. That's expensive kids they've got there.

I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only one who's nearly memorized the twins' "Our First Video". My little sister had it, and we'd watch it all the time.
I can't believe how many albums these girls had though. They really can't sing for shit.

Or do anything else, really.

Not nearly as many times as the Winslow home in Family Matters. They needed Urkel Insurance!

Did Bob Saget ever direct movies? I got the new tv guide today, and a movie directed by a Bob Saget will be on some time next week.

From a while back:

I always think about this episode when I see that band anywhere. And since they now have a nice song with Bløf (Dutch band) pretty high up in the charts, I think of it way too often.

I think Saget directed some cheesy movie that starred Elizabeth Berkley, and it aired on cable, E! I think. Either that, or he was just in it with her.

Showgirls? That sounds about right for Bob Saget. Heh heh.

On topic, one of the moments on Full House that had me laughing the hardest was shown recently. In the episode where Jesse is trying to find the right tune for the lyrics he wrote and he keeps on coming up with tunes that are already in existence, like On Top of Old Smokey, and This Land is Your Land and The Brady Bunch. Hi-larious.

You know what has always bothered me? The episode where they dig up the 'time capsule' at the elementary school or whatever it was. It's played out like the three were best friends since childhood, but wasn't Jesse considerably younger than the other two? His older sister did marry Danny. A much younger kid wouldn't necessarily be that close to older boys.

It bothered me that Joey was an insufferable asshat even back then. Why couldn't he have wandered into traffic as a child?

I feel stupid. I can't tell the difference between the two Michelles on screen. Can anyone help? I have noticed that one is slightly less horrendous than the other!

I wish. Joey and his stupid voices. The other day, they had the ep where he takes Stephanie to the dentist and she won't open her mouth and Joey starts doing the Cowardly Lion voice from Wizard of Oz. So cheesy. So bad.

At least he tied it into the fact that Stephanie was stupid enough to believe that the "hangy ball thing" was her courage.

"I always thought that was a spit sucker." Hee!

Can you imagine going to a comedy club and having to sit through one of Joey's routines? There was an episode where he opened for Wayne Newton (or someone?) in front of a huge audience, and they were positively howling at Joey's Popeye impressions and "Cut. It. Out."s. Um, yeah right. In real life, people would be either sitting in dead silence or throwing things at him. Or maybe I'm just projecting.
