I can

The episode I hate the most was when DJ was the coach for the men's basketball team. Get real!

My leaset favorite episode was when she tried to make Denise and Teddy be her friends.

Considering it's been reported that they barely weigh 90 pounds now, they could have been in car seats practically all the way through puberty. Sad but fairly accurate.

Except that the law is 40lbs OR the age of 4 (or 4-1/2), whichever comes first.

My least favorite episode-and, believe me, this is a difficult choice, what with the horror that was the entire series-is the episode where Michelle is the Polite Police. Ugh, and then she steals a cupcake at the end. and says "Politeness week is over"

Someone should have taken that whistle away the second time she blew it. "This is NOT polite...this is NOT polite." Shut up, Michelle.

Speaking of which, that was a bit of a blooper or inconsistency. IIRC, Jesse said in that ep that he had little or no interest in sports and was embarassed by his lack of skill and had to be convinced to take part. But in an earlier ep, when D.J.'s cousin (played by Kirk Cameron in real life) came to town, all the guys - including a very enthusiastic Jesse - went out to shoot baskets. (and play football)

There was no continuity in this show--ever.

It's the sitcom equivalent of The X-Files.

My least fave episode is The Counting Crows. God, I hate Michelle just thinking about it. I nominate Danny Tanner as the worst parent ever.

I hate that episode too. I mean, she didnt even know who they were and she kept calling them "Counting Cars"

Today the Dr. Dare/Charles in Charge (I know, I know, Scott Baio) episode was on. I love that one! It's one of my favorites!

Least favorite is many of the later episodes. It's been said before, but FH really jumped the shark shortly after the bruddahs were introduced. (when they aged them for the next season and they talked - albeit poorly - and had nasty hair) As a matter of fact, the episode where they get "haircuts" (CreepyJoey as Joey'sUncle merely slicks their hair back) is up there with my least favorites. And the one where Jesse and Becky try to get them into Bowdin (however you spell that) Hall. It can't be said enough...I hate the bruddahs.

Yeah, no continuity is right. We can look at season 3 high school reunion with Jesse. Including flash back with him pulling a James Dean in his high school gym. Only to have Jesse become a high school drop out 3 seasons later.

Me too. They were annoying and useless.

I thought they were cute


Another one of my least faves (and I know this has been discussed) is the one where the family wants to move but Michelle didnt want to move so she flunked the inspection. And got away with it

This has been mentioned, but it never hurts to bring it up again. I really, really hate this episode, because everyone was so excited about moving to another house and having more room for everyone... but Michelle wanted to stay in the old, cramped house, and if Michelle didn't want to leave, well then, that's the way it was going to be.

Barf.

And the dreaded Disney World episode (Barf) Heck, if I was Stephanie, I would of shoved that crown down her throat.

I always thought it was odd that Steph had friends who were boys over when she was at the age where boys mean major cooties. And she tried to make them play girl stuff - maybe their parents made the boys come over to the Tanners.

And Michelle occasionally got a pint-size rainbow coalition jumping on her bed, but all DJ ever had was Kimmy. Kind of a shame, she deserved a smarter friend.

Let's not forget DJ's friend Julie, the cousin to Family Matter's Steve Urkel.

I actually liked Nicky and Alex, lol. Besides they're abnormally small, beady eyes I thought they were adorable, hehe. Plus, I thought they were much more appealing than Michelle. They may not have done to much besides crowd (okay, I know it's TV, but had I been Danny, and I knew my brother-in-law and cohost were reproducing in my attic, I'd be perturbed and demanding them to LEAVE) but there were some cute B-stories.

So is the mass of bile my dog just coughed up.

Or Kathy Santoni- the one who threw all of those big pre-teen sleepovers, spin-the-bottle spinner, "boy you grew up over the summer", married and pregnant at 16 Kathy. I remember being dissapointed that we didn't see more of Kathy on the screen, since she was such an exciting character. The writers probably thought her character wasn't "Full House" enough so they kept her in the background- though with the nature of the show I'm surprised that a character like her even existed, or that DJ was friends with her.

I share your surprise about having her character on. She was cool, but there was a scene that seemed to come out of nowhere. It was the one where D.J. and Kimmy were happily planning to go to Kathy's baby shower as if it was just another teenage party. That was one of the very few times I agreed with Danny. He was in disbelief. I would have been, too.

I swear, I don't think I've ever seen that episode with pregnant Kathy Santoni! Can someone tell me if they think it'll be on soon, based on what season they're currently airing?

Years ago, when the show was still on, I remember there being rumors that one of the girls had died. I think it was Jodie falling off of a roller coaster or something dumb like that. Was that wide spread, or just in my school? I remember I thought it was true and was absolutely devastated. I was in grade school and apparantly incapable of watching the news or reading a newspaper. Maybe it was just us bored Wisconsinites making crap up to amuse ourselves.

Oh my god I forgot this episode!! Remembering just brings my Michelle hate from a simmer to a full blown boil.

Wasn't the inspectors name James Bond or something? And they kept doing the same dumb joke in the whole damn episode?

it was Bond. Lou Bond.


...I think.

Correct.

I think I remeber an episode with Kathy Santoni, but I'm not sure.

Kathy Santoni showed up in the Episode when DJ and Kimmy first get to high school.

*sigh*

I really shouldn't know that.

They never actually showed her, but what happened in the episode was DJ and Kimmy came in with a bunch of shopping bags and Danny was all, "Who is that for?" DJ replies that its for Kathy Santoni's shower. Danny is all incredulous, "Kathy Santoni is getting married?!?" Then DJ is all, "She already got married, she's having a baby." Then was when DJ was 16 or 17, so its a later episode and probably won't be on for awhile.

This is a sign that he is probably going to to those "acts" on Surreal Life 3. He'll proably be the most hated person in the house.

Whoa, I need to get with the program. I didn't know he was on Surreal Life. I guess I'll tune in to see the trainwreck.

Definitely. I hope Flava Flav introduces his oversized gold clock to Dave Coulier's head to shut him up.

At first I misread 'clock' as 'glock' and I admit to getting a teensy bit excited.

Hee. That would definitely work also.

So Nick2 ran a block of FH eps this morning -- I'm thinking they're the ones that will air Friday or that already aired last Friday(they're not too consistent with their re-airings during the summer), but the We Love Our Children Telethon '90 episode was on. See, that's an episode that sucked but it sucked in such a fabulous way. It's the kind of sucking that episodes in the later season aspired to reach(but never quite made it).

Classic suckitude that was so artfully crafted -- I mean, beyond DJ's "vocal stylings" and Stephanie's "dancing", we had Michelle's rendition of the alphabet -- complete with H, I, J, K, Eminem-o-pee. Gibbler riding a unicycle. Cool-yay actually managing to get a genuine chuckle out of me with his Steven Tyler impression(I believe my exact reaction was BWAH!!! SUCKS SO BAD!). The sick unreal-ness of it(Danny falling asleep onstage, Mike Love showing up, the cheerleaders hanging out at the telethon for over four hours like they had no lives or coke habits to tend to, Stephanie saying "I'll get the tape" to do her dance routine to "Love Shack" but the band visibly playing and doing a big finish at the end of her routine, Gibbler on a friggin' unicycle, Michelle getting applause, shoot -- for that matter, ANY of them getting applause...)

Love that episode in all it's sucktastic glory. ::one tear slowly slides down cheek:: Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis, boom, bah, indeed, Mike Love and Uncle Jesse. Rah, rah, rah, rah, sis, boom, bah. ::kleenex::

The only good part about this episode is the end. They got someone who could actually sing up on stage to sing a song. (Why would anyone pledge money to such a sucky telethon?)

I always hated how Jesse was such a fame whore. John Stamos was so far up the Beach Boys ass that he could tell them what they had for dinner in 1965. I can understand having them on the show as a cameo, but it was like God had come to the Tanner household instead of a music group from the 60's.

Well, John Stamos was their drummer for a quite a while when they were on tour. If they were so annoyed by him then they wouldn't have shown up on Full House. I'm pretty sure they weren't owned by Disney or ABC.


Speaking of which, I know we've debated about Stephanie/Jodie Sweetin being a dancer on the show and in real life, but to be honest, I don't think there was anything special about the dancing during any of the episodes they showed her doing it. I don't think it's anything you couldn't teach a gym class full of first graders to do. There were no terribly hard movements or pirouettes or split leaps or anything. I have no dance experience, but if someone showed me and taught me how to do a routine, I could probably learn it.

For her age, I thought Jodie did pretty well with the street jazz routine she did during her dance recital in the episode when she wanted to quit dance. IMO, it looked like she had some previous dance experience.

And over a million dollars, no less. That always mystified me.



Probably just enough so that it could go on her resume. Most child actors take a low to moderate amount of classes in an extracurricular type of field so that they can list it on their resumes -- pretty much everyone I knew in the business growing up took *maybe* a year of dance or piano(or something along those lines). If you weren't tonedeaf, then "singing" automatically went on your resume. Trick of the trade. Make your kid look more appealing, blah, blah, blah.

I was in dance classes from the time was about 2 or 3 until I was 11. During that time, I took ballet, jazz, tap, flamenco and Afro-Brazillian. The "Love Shack" dance seemed very school-pageant-ish to me. Like, I could see a bunch of little kids doing it, but as a solo routine it was meh. The "Motownphilly" dance that you were referring to, Phenobarbara, really wasn't much more complicated. Again, very much like a school recital versus a more professional dance company routine. The formation was simple but well-excuted(considering there were a bunch of kids on the stage), but the dance moves were super simplistic for the most part. They were moves that my friends and I at the time not only knew and learned by ourselves, but had dismissed as tired and played out by the time the FH episode ran. I just checked IMDB and Jodie and I are almost exactly the same age -- so I don't see it as too much of a display of her dancing skills.

However, in that shittastic She's Daaaaaanciiiiin... routine, the way she held herself when she was dipped and her turns did indicate to me that she's had some dance training. Either way, if it was between Jodie dancing and Jodie singing, I'm all about the dancing. ::shudders::

About the FH eppie that aired recently (when Jesse and D.J. ended up married):

Remember Michelle's cousin who looked exactly like her? I wonder which one was Mary-Kate and which one was Ashley because it would have been funny if the brown haired one was MK since she did later dye her hair to make her a brunette.

Oh yeah, Joey...when you sang that "Newlyweds" theme song (the one with Bob Eubanks not Jessica Simpson), I wanted to kill you.

In my family the Beach Boys practically are God so we probably would have reacted accordingly.

...

How did Joey & Jesse ever sell an ad campaign? Every time we saw them pitch something, 'hilarity' ensued with some family member messing everything up. Somehow though, they came out smelling like roses each time.

The writers of this show must have been taking H.R. Puff-n-Stuff type drugs or something.

Yup. Just the reason why I had to clarify. I think it would have been ever worse for him to sing the current "Newlyweds"...especially if he did the "mic moving next to and away from his mouth" joke thingy.

"This I Swear *Joey moves mic away from his mouth while quietly making the "air" sound then brings in back to his mouth in a much louder voice saying: wearrrrrrrrrrrrr"! (of course in a shaky loud voice).

I think I'm going to pull an Oedipus and gouge my eyes out. Excuse me...

I just noticed Full House is #10 at tvshowsondvd's most requested unreleased shows list It's got 2257 votes. I had no idea that many people want Full House on DVD. I loved watching the show as a kid, and I watched the reruns and it's still a good show.

One thing I've always wondered is why FH, one of the most predictable comedy shows ever, has as the very first line of its theme song, "Whatever happened to predictibility?" Never made any sense to me.

On another note, I would never, ever buy FH on DVD. I'd probably be too embarrassed to go into a store and buy it in front of actual people.

*whisper* That's why there is Amazon. Oh, and I actually walked into a Best Buy and bought Saved By the Bell on DVD, on two seperate occasions actually. One lady gave me a weird look so I said it was a gift. It was none of her business that I was secretly jumping for joy at actually owning it. I think the same thing would apply here but it depends on the price.

Did they ever say why Pam died on the show? Or is it just assumed that it was suicide.

I bought a Sweet Valley High book that way the other day. Hey, I'm not proud of it....

You know, I've got a DVD burner and I could make copies for the cost of materials. I'm just sayin'....

She was killed in an accident caused by a drunk driver.

I will unashamedly admit that I'm one of the many who have requested FH on DVD on tvshowsondvd. I can't wait for it to come out, but I don't think I'll be buying the craptastic last few seasons.
