I hope they were laughing at him...I sure as hell was!

There were TONS of people at that show too! The FH staff must have really gotten them liquored up before his performance!

I imagine they were used to it, having to do it weekly for the FH studio audience.

Has anyone else ever noticed how much trouble Mary Kate/Ashley has trouble spitting out lines a LOT ?
Did anyone notice last week on PTI when Wilbon opened up talking how impressive it was the Twins had pitched 3 straight shutouts ?? Tony said back "It's even more impressive since Mary Kate is on the DL."

So Nick at nite did show FH finale yesterday. They won't show WINGS finale because they keep finales for special occasions, but do show Full House. Yea, that makes sense.

VoraciousEli, in that episode Joey and Danny are in 5th grade. Jessee was in k-5. They did not talk to him, and were not friends yet. It was later on when Danny and Pam got together. Joey and Jessee were not even close friends when they moved in, Jessee did not like him.

...

I saw that too, I loved how they mocked him so. But I noticed that one guy called him "Uncle" Joey, which bugged me.

It seems nobody can get the fact that Joey is. not. their. Uncle. He is just a friend of Danny's. No relation whatsoever. I see people calling him Uncle all the time, when I hear references to him on TV. I remember a long ass time ago when Beavis and Butthead were still on all the time, and they went over to their dorky friend Stuart's house who was of course watching Full House. He said something like "That Uncle Joey sure is funny."

But didn't they sometimes call him "Uncle" Joey on the show? I think they used it to make him feel more like part of the family, even though he was no relation to them.

I remember that B&B ep. I loved the part where Stuart's watching Family Matters and Urkel sets fire to the living room. A scene which MTV later cut out in syndication, but I remember it well.

I don't remember the girls ever calling him "Uncle"...anyone else?

As sad as it is, I have watched enough Full House to be pretty sure that Jesse was the only one they ever called "Uncle." Joey was just always Joey.

Joey was never Uncle Joey -- he was, however, Joe, Joseph, Ranger Joe, Professor Egghead, and (my personal favorite) Boing Boing Brain.

Yellowpager, they'd sometimes make references to Joey being "family", and I think Danny once referred to him as "like a brother", but they never out and out called him Uncle.

ETA the following: a block of FH is on Nick at Nite right now, as part of their "Block Party Summer"...they're showing eps from the first 2 seasons tonight.

The girls NEVER called him "Uncle Joey" but sometimes Jesse and Becky referred to him as "Uncle Joey" in front of the bruddas, which makes even less sense.

It pisses me off to hear people on TV call him "Uncle Joey" too.

I was watching an ep the other day where Danny met a woman in the produce aisle and asked her to the house for a dinner date. It becomes a triple date, as the woman brings along her two friends for Joey and Jesse.(it's the ep where D.J. and Stephanie are upstairs and the bathroom plumbing goes haywire) Anyhoo, while he's primping for his date, Danny is saying how nervous he is because he's not sure if he's ready to date. He asks the guys if he should stop wearing his wedding ring. They sort of concur, and he takes it off and it's this poignant dramatic moment for him. If that was the first time he took off the ring, then that means he was wearing it earlier in the day when he asked that woman out. She accepted a date from a man wearing a ring? Now that's not very Full House-like! LOL.

I never thought about the episode that way. That lady was dirty!

That episode is awesome. I love how Zoey doesn't think anything Joey says is funny, and all of her remarks to Joey earn an "OOOOOOOOH" from the audience.

Heh. That was awesome. Take that, asshat.

Yeah, I loved those. Because a little girl insulting her older sister's friend is funny. But Jesse and Danny insulting Kimmy? Not funny. Gross.

Grown men should not pick on malnourished, practically homeless young girls with invisible dysfunctional families. It's a rule.

Fucking word.

Didn't Bob Saget direct the movie that was based on his own sister's illness and death? Or did I dream that?

And I have to repeat the question asked a few pages back - how DO you tell the Olsens apart onscreen?

He wrote and produced the movie that was about his sister that Dana Delany played. As for the continuing things on Kimmy. SHe got a little to ridiculas at times. Do we remember her boyfriend who outside of quoting Shakespear, catch phrase was: "What ever". What I thought every time she showed up. And lot's not forget Kimmy's pet ostrage, Oscar while playing the bag pipes.

They also have differences in their voices, especially when they were younger. I think it was Mary-Kate who spoke in a slightly lower tone.

re: that link that Miss Aquarius put up, did anyone else notice these? I couldn't help but think that constantly seeing "Ashley has fuller..." just made me sad at seeing that, knowing the recent struggles of Mary Kate.

I couldn't tell the twins apart until someone pointed it out to me that Mary-Kate is more "foxy"/model-esque (eg. tilting head, bedroom eyes, etc) looking while Ashley is usually more smiley and happy looking. Of course, this only applies to them now, not when they were kids.

If anyone's interested, "uncle Joey" is still doing the "cut-it-out" bit and Bullwinkle voice in his comedy act. For real.

How did you find out? Tell me you didn't go see him live? Oh you poor thing!

That has got to be the saddest thing I've ever heard of.

The one thing about Danny I always remember is that he is obsessed with cleaning. However in a first season episode where Danny, Joey and Jessie's moms come to visit, Danny doesn't like to clean up and expects his mom to do it. What's up with that? Did he all of a sudden develop the love of cleaning overnight?

I thought he actually liked cleaning even before that.

Now thats just sad.

Mr. Coulier, in the words of every TWOPer that has ever existed: Shut up.

Hmm, my other post didn't post for some reason, so here's a few more tips for telling the twins apart:

Ashley - darker hair, squeakier voice that cracked a lot, closer together eyes. She's like the "cute, innocent" Michelle

Mary-Kate - lower voice, had a speech impediment for a few years (the word "sure" becomes "show"), has wider-set, oval-shaped eyes. To me, she's the "smartass, moody" Michelle. She played the part almost entirely by herself for the 1st season.

The girls switch places pretty often, sometimes after each line when they were little (Jesse and Becky's wedding). When they got older, they took turns each scene. So, Michelle in the kitchen might be M-K, but in the next scene with Michelle now in the bedroom, it's probably Ashley.

I don't know which is more painfully shocking -- the fact that he still uses that tired-ass material or the fact that someone must be giving the man a venue in which to perform said tired-ass material.

Where is he headlining? Costco?

Hey..don't knock Costco! [/sarcasm] David Cassidy made an appearance at my local one! ;)

I'm gobsmacked that that man is still doing stand-up! What is wrong with this world??

Yesterday morning ABC Family ran a second-season episode (the one where Jesse yells at DJ for taping over his commercial jingle and then buys her a drum set to make up for it) and they played the full-length original theme song with the entire original opening credit sequence. I've never seen them do that in syndication before. It even had the part of the original song that they often cut out when the show was actually first-run. I can't imagine why they would show that that particular time...maybe the actual show was just a hair too short and they were filling in time?

As for the show, maybe I'm a rotten parent but I didn't think Jesse yelling at DJ was so bad. He and Joey had been up all night recording this jingle and then DJ and Kimmy tape over it singing "The Locomotion." *gag* Danny comes in and reprimands Jesse for "losing his cool" and Jesse feels all guilty. Um, so....the 11-year-old goes, uninvited, into the adult's bedroom, starts playing with his expensive recording equipment, ruins 12 hours' worth of work....who's the jerk, here?

Hey, didn't they have a very similar episode a few seasons later when the recording equipment was in the basement? I seem to remember Steph and her friend Harry messing around down there and destroying something....or was it Michelle and somebody?

They showed this episode recently...the house is a pigsty and the Grandmother threatens to move back in if he can't keep it in shape. So he sends them off and promises to clean it. Cue to the cheesy "I feel good" cleanup montage. I saw this and thought "I thought he was a clean freak, how could he have allowed the house to get so messy and not care?"

I think I posted this awhile ago, but my take on the situation was just that he was always a neat freak, but he was probably so devastated about Pam's death that he lapsed into this messy phase for awhile. Oh dear...I'm just a step away from writing FH fanfic!

Nope, you're not a rotten parent. I love D.J., she's my favorite FH character, but she was definitely at fault in that scene, and she deserved to be reprimanded. And Danny was wrong to tell Jesse that he overreacted. He was the lamest parent on earth. He was too busy worrying about how the children would react to their punishment, rather than just doling out the punishment. Look, idiot, YOUR'E the adult. Kids do something wrong, you take care of it. Period. What's the big deal? Like when he had to punish Michelle for the first time he spent half the episode fretting over how Michelle would handle it, instead of acknowledging the reason she got into trouble in the first place (he constantly spoiled her rotten). And her big punishment was...sitting her in the corner. Oh, good heavens, how awful, someone call child protective services!
:eyeroll:

I liked DJ much better in the earlier seasons when she was more sarcastic. Also, Steph was way better. However, I always hated Michelle. Thanks to all your tips I can finally tell the Olsen twins apart. So far, I noticed that Mary-Kate sounds like she has a cold most of the time.

It seems that most people's favorite Tanner daughter is either DJ or Stephanie. I don't think I have read a post where someone has said that Michelle was their favorite out of the daughters. She seems to be quite hated on this board.

I liked Michelle. Until someone taught her to talk.

I saw the episode where Stephanie gets her glasses this afternoon, which also hit a mark on my HitMichelle radar, for some reason. She had a piggybank, and went in search of money to fill it with. Then she hears the ice cream truck, and decides she wants ice cream. Here's where the radar sets in motion;

She opens the front door. Now, she must have been about 3 or 4, so why was the door opened in the first place?

She runs back in to get her money, but of course it won't give in. She rattles it, and DJ comes in to see what the fuss is about. Instead of a normal explanation, Michelle says; "tell it to give me my money". Euuuggggh. She is not your slave, and she doesn't have to listen to a toddler barking orders. Oh, and fudgesicles are ice cream too, so shut up Michelle.

As a baby she didn't bother me. But as she got older and started to say "oh puleeeze" and just generally getting mouthier, I fought the urge to throw something at my t.v.

Hee. I really didn't have much of a problem when she was a baby either...It just pissed me off how she stole Stephanie's "How rude" line and "made it her own" (literally).

*loud frustrated sigh*

Shut up, Michelle.

Lindsey C said:



Yeah, cocaine tends to really screw up your nasal passages.

Sorry. Was that mean?

I laughed. What's even funnier is imagining a VSE with Michelle on coke. Oh the dialogue would be amazing!

I always liked Michelle. I think I had some tendency to like the cute young kid or something. Also, I was in elementary school and didn't watch tv much.

The worst thing about it is that I can't stop liking the Olsen twins now.

Hee. Now thats comedy. But seriously, I actually find the Olsen twins very pretty now, but I guess I'm just one of those gals who thinks beauty actually increases with age.

I remember thinking that Michelle was such a cute kid when I was ten and my sarcastic brain had not developed yet.

Thirteen years later, I look at all these shows and think "Why doesn't someone SMACK her?" I mean really!! She is so damn annoying!

I just think of the episode that really pissed me off: The one where she gets a fish and kills it because she tries to give it a bath. So then they have a fucking FUNERAL, and go out and buy her a new fish, along with 77 duplicates so the fish will "never die". Ok, it's called "tough love." If the stupid bitch can't take care of a fish for one day, then tough. Live and learn. Am I too harsh?

I love the line Jesse says to Michelle to make her feel better, "Just think of all the good times you had with Martin, like....the car ride home. The walk upstairs to your room....I guess that's it isn't it?" HAHAHHA! Hilarious!

*Sigh*

Just read all 105 pages in about 4 days. Thanks, guys! Hehe. Anyways, Full House is obviously a guilty pleasure, right? Well, if the show had been more realistic do you think more people would enjoy it?

That may sound DUH but a lot of realistic shows (such as Higher Ground, where troubled kids are sent to a last-resort school) only last a season, while cheeseballs like this last 8 years. Um? lol!

So, if Danny had actually been a...Well, how do I put this? Parent? Then do you think more people would have watched? Or did it do so well BECAUSE it was so darn cheesy :x?

Looking at the reruns and thinking back when I saw the show as a kid in grad school. I think it was a bit of both. It was cheesy, but not to much where it went way over board, but Danny's parenting skills definantly needed a hell of a lot of work. I found Jesse and Becky's parenting with Nick and Alex a hell of a lot more realistic. They were shown to make both good and dumb mistakes, but they were new parents and the boys only got to the age of 3 when the show came to an end. Speaking of parenting gone bad, everyone remember the DJ story where her boyfriend and his friends in 7th grade were drinking and Jesse thought DJ was drinking since he found her with a beer. Well, you can buy that, but when he threw in the other evidence about smelling like it and everything. DJ said she had been squirted and for someone who would blame her boyfriend and his two closest friends, he didn't buy it. Except for the fact, that there was beer on the floor from the beer spraying and her dress was wet and I do mean all over. I don't think someone chugging a beer at 13 would be able to spill it like that. Plus, he brought her straight home and didn't go to the principal who ended up catching the boys in the first place. Now, when Jesse, Danny and Joey admitted that they handled it so poorly, because DJ was telling the truth and they didn't believe her. That was done well and Jesse's talk at the end with DJ was really touchy. However, the situation involving Jesse thinking DJ was drinking, that was poorly handled including right afterwards too.

That episode really upset me.
Seriously--the way all three of the adults immediately assumed she was in the wrong and weren't even willing to hear her side of the story--and this was DJ, who was a pretty good kid, it's not as though she were some troublemaking brat. And even then, they should have at least heard her out before condemming her.
Then when Jesse realizes his mistake, Danny lets him off the hook. "It's okay, it was an honest mistake."
You forgot to chew him out for leaping to conclusions and not listening to her, jagoff.

Doesn't that sound familiar. The last time Full House reruns graced Dutch tv screens, my sarcastic brain was just emerging. It didn't get to practice on Full House much, though, because it was on every day at a rather impractical time.

Couldn't agree more. And I remember Jesse's excuse for jumping to conclusions was that he himself was a troublemaker at that age, and naturally he assumes that every kid that age is a punk, too. Including his niece, D.J. who had never made a bit of trouble in her life. I'll bet if that was Michelle, he would have believed her right away, then beaten those boys senseless.

Not to mention, when the guys were coming to find DJ back at the dance. They asked her boyfriend who then admitted it was his friends and him who were drinking. I find it interesting that they would ask him if they had seen him, but what was even more interesting was how they trusted him more then DJ.
