Yeah, I thought about that with Aaron too. However, there were times they had Aaron go to over board. I mean if any kid of talked like that to an adult, he would of either gotten slapped or get the fear of God put in him. However, this was Full House, that was never possible. Like Michelle, they went with his shit too.

Wedding episodes! I haven't seen these in forever.

Jesse has NEVER met Becky's parents? I know they're in Montana, but that seems unlikely. Weren't there episodes where they specifically talked about spending a holiday with her family?

Becky's dad is an asshat for giving Jesse that speech. And Jesse is an asshat for listening and going skydiving 3 hours before the wedding. He's accepts things too easily without even thinking about them. Do people really think getting married means giving up who you are? A wedding ceremony and a license doesn't mean that everythings going to become drastically different. That happens when you have a child.

Joey can fly a plane? What idiot gave him a licence to do that?

Jesse can just jump out of plane with no insturctor or anyone else besides Joey from a totally random location in the sky? He's lucky he didn't get impaled on that tree!

Jesse thinks so. I made this point earlier on this thread, that he is emotionally lame. In one episode, he and Rebecca (before they were married) were arguing because she wanted to do one activity and he wanted to do another. At the end, they make up (cue sappy music) and Rebecca says "just because we have different interests doesn't mean we can't still be a couple." And he takes her hand, looks in her eyes and says "really?" as if she was the Dalai Lama who just told him the meaning of life. Lame. Jesse had the social maturity of a 4 year old.

Hee. I was expecting him to say that after her little speech in the jail. Too bad he didn't.

I wonder where those people in the chorus bus were going when Jesse and Becky hijacked them.

Probably to some competition by the looks of the way the people were dressed. I love how the driver didn't want to take them till they realized it was Rebecca from Wake Up San Francisco. Guess that makes her a celebrity in Full House land.

Is it wrong that my favorite part of the wedding episode is the choir they pick up along the way? I love when they come out and sing along with Jesse in the church. Although, Lori Loughlin should have just sat there looking pretty instead of trying to sing along.

However, the sight of her driving the bus in her wedding dress is pretty funny.

Nah, I thought that was a nice touch, even if the way they got the choir there was ridiculous.

I really liked Lori Loughlin in those episodes for the most part. Especially her deliver when she's talking to Jesse on the video. "Darling, I just hoe you are alright, but if you are alright, I’ll kill you." (Is it sad that I went to full-house.org to pull up that quote? And that I knew the URL?) Hee. And her delivery telling the bus driver what was going on. A little overly when panicking about Jesse being late to meet her parents, but I blame the script more for that.

Watching some of the older episodes it really made me realize what a great dynamic the Stephanie/ DJ relationship was. They had some great stuff together before the show began being totallly centered around Michelle.

I was watching the eppie today when Jesse and Becky had just moved into their apartment in the attic and Michelle keeps interrupting them, so they can't play hide the chalupa. If I was Jesse (or Becky) I would have punted Michelle out the window.

I know! It was like, let the horny newlyweds get sweaty and sticky, you needy little freak. And who's the one who has to explain to Michelle what Jesse and Becky are doing up there? JOEY. Who, of course, avoids the issue entirely and just tells her that they're doing their taxes.

Yeah, I'll bet Mr. Noshag had his dainty, little ear pointing near The-Attic-of-Hot Uncle-Jesse-Monkey-Love as well -- For there is no woman, man or anything in between, (even in the insipid, saccharine demension that is Full House) that would boink that finger quipping asswad.

I think the only people who got any action under the Full House roof were Jesse & Becky. Obviously.. TPTB weren't going to have DJ have sex as a ... gasp... TEENAGER. Joey, well.. who'd want to sleep with a man who wears Ninja Turtle pajamas? (it's like an episode of Sex & the City.. where a seemingly normal guy turns out to be a freak)

Miranda: "The guy had on NINJA TURTLE PAJAMAS..."
Carrie: "So did the turtle want to come out and play?"
Charlotte: "My brother had a turtle once.. ooh, but not that kind. I don't like it when people call it that..."
Miranda: "I mean, are there SO FEW men that are adults that we've completely regressed to childhood? It's like I have to be the grownup in the bedroom too?"
Samantha: Oh, who's a grownup? Fucking it fucking whether you're 16 or 60. But not with Ninja Turtle Pajamas, ever."

Anyways, we KNOW Danny didn't see any action, right?

So finally FINALLY that house is seeing some action and Michelle is ruining it. If I was Becky I would've HATED that kid. She's the reason Jesse didn't want to leave the Big House of People who Hug, she's getting in the way of nookie with Becky's hot albeit stupid husband! (Just shut up and lie down Jesse!) Drop kick that Nookie Police officer!

Are we supposed to assume that none of the adults had any lovin' until Jesse got married? And none after? In the earlier episodes sex was implied, wasn't it?

BWAH! YourDensity! I can totally picture that conversation, it's that damn accurate!

Ugh, Michelle barging in on the newlyweds squicks me out everytime. And I hated how Joey actually went up there to explain things - you know he just wanted to go by their "apartment" and hear any action that might have been going on! I think it would have been just as effective if he told Michelle downstairs to stop bugging them.

I think it sums up Joey's sex life in the fact that he was doing his taxes while Jesse and Becky were getting busy.

I always got the impression from the earlier episodes that Jesse was having lots of sex with all those women he dated (before Becky.) I'm pretty sure Danny is an asexual creature. And we know DJ and Steve never did anything.

That's what I thought, too. Blech. Joey was a freak.

I never liked Joey much either. Of the three guys, Jesse was my favorite and Joey was my least favorite. Danny was geeky and weird, but I he never really bothered me, I guess because he was supposed to be like that. But Joey got on my nerves because sometimes he'd date these really pretty women and if it was real life, they never would have gone for him.

I don't know...Alanis Morrisette went out with him. And that? Is just weird.

Alanis Morissette doesn't exactly ring my pretty bell. But that's just me.

As I watched a few eps the other night, I couldn't help but be annoyed everytime Michelle says anything. They always cut away to just her all my herself.

There were two major things that bothered me about the Michelle barges into Jesse and Rebecca's Nookieland episode --

1. "What is privacy?" -- Michelle

That quote right there bugged the hell out of me. Though we plainly saw that she had no grasp on the term before this episode, during this episode, and, hell, right up until the series finale.

2. The dumbass suggestion that they set aside some special Michelle time every day... when it is plainly stated earlier in the episode that they already spent time with Michelle playing in her room before they went upstairs. Joey's entire rant to Jesse and Becky pissed me off for this same reason. "all she wants to do is spend some time with her uncle who she loves bla dee bla" homegirl neglected to acknowledge that she HAD in fact spent time with him. Oooooooh I love Mary-Kate and Ashley, but the character of Michelle? I would have locked her ass in the closet. Or possibly tied her to the roof.

Ok first of all, Michelle, Jesse already gave up his one hope to lead a normal life by staying in your damn psycho house, now leave the man alone and at least let him bang his wife!

What I never understood about the show was how everyone catered to Michelle. I mean, if I were a parent there would be some tough love involved, not constant coddling. Things were never enforced with her so she knew she could get away with anything. Guidelines were never set, and anything she did wrong was solved by everyone laughing it off at how cute and silly she was. The one time she was *gasp* banished to staring at the wall was interrupted by pussy Danny telling her she will "always be his little pwincess". Gag.

I didn't know until recently how young she was when she first started dating him. She was 16! And he was in his 30's, IIRC Gross.

Rebecca Donaldson should have run screaming from Jesse after seeing how unnaturally close he was to his family. And after they were married he told her that he couldn't be happy living with just her and needed to be nearer to his family?? The hell? She should have divorced his lame ass instead of going along with it. But that wouldn't be very Full House-like.

What??? That is disgusting. Why wasn't he sent to jail for statutory rape? That is really, really sick. That's like if Hilary Duff dated one of the guys from Friends! Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.

They're from Canada, which might have different age restrictions for statutory rape. Is someone here from Canada that can confirm or deny?

I asked that awhile ago, and nobody responded. :( I'm really curious what their age of consent is!

Okay, according to a website called ageofconsent.com, the age of consent in Canada is 14. They claim that there is a petition to increase the age to 16. I don't know how old that information is.

Though it can vary by province, the national law in Canada says fourteen. Ew. (According to a quick look at ageofconsent.com)

The sad thing is that while I have a perfectly innocent explanation for knowing about that website, I'm thoroughly embarrassed to be in the Full House forum to begin with.

Hell, I used to be embarassed too, but now I don't care. It's fun! :)

Dude, 10 minutes? Jesse and Becky will live 10 freaking minutes away by foot and the family's getting all depressed about Jesse moving out? Here I was thinking they lived farther away. WTF? How do these people survive?

Edited to add: I seem to be talking about them as if they were real people. I've clearly gone insane.

Yeah, it was ridiculous that they made a big deal when Jesse and Becky were just 10 minutes away.

Ten minutes away by FOOT? What is that, a block away? You're too co-dependent, Michelle!

Uh...y'all?

We seem like rational individuals. Look how riled up and annoyed we get over FH plotlines. Imagine how riled up the certifiable get...

...I think I just pitied the Olsen twins. I may need to go holla @marykate's rehab facility.

topic: This show had some fabulous representation of 80s hair...I was always slightly peeved at Stephanie though -- the curls with the straight bangs in the older eps, when her hair so obviously did not go like that...Like Danny could have permed his child's hair. Or even thought about taking his child to GET it permed in the first place. I don't even think Jesse would have done it because he was so preoccupied with his own follicles(sp?). And that leaves Joey...and we've seen HIS hair, so no. I LOVED DJ and Steph's Flowbee'd bangs though.

Oh, this never bothered me. Children are more than capable of wanting perms and begging their parents for them. All Danny would have to do is deposit Stephanie at the beauty salon, pick her up in an hour and pay for it. I'm sure that's what happened--and bear in mind that is probably the ONLY time I will defend the logic of a Full House moment.

So true. Like when DJ gave Michelle the piggy bank and she went around collecting money from everyone. And it went on and on and on, when it would have stopped far more soon for most kids, even the youngest.

I wonder if the real twins' noses got out of joint when they brought Nicky and Alex on the set.

This thread makes me feel so dirty because I love Joey. I can’t help it. He makes me laugh. I loved Mr. Woodchuck. I loved his lame jokes. He was my favorite character after Michelle learned how to talk.

Oh, dear.

Well, I suppose it had to happen sometime. Law of averages and all.

Ah, Mr. Woodchuck, believe it or not that made me laugh. Oh speaking of the Ranger Joe days. His getting fired was the most stupidist thing. Sure, someone who is causing an old tv show to have the best ratings its had in years and your wife who is in her 60's who does one episode, you have to fire your star of the show. He complains sure, but Joey was very patient and wasn't going to jump to conclusions. Then they fire him while he is hanging upside down by a prank that was most likely caused by Jungle Jenny. I know it as basically an injoke on how in Hollywood people get fired for the smallest reasons ie: ask for raises, don't agree with a script, or a co-star and so forth. But that episode always struck me as: "Hey, my wife wants to be the star of your show and since I'm the producer, you're fired."

Wow, Danny was a young father! Last night, they aired the episode where he dates the 21-year-old Kirsten, and he reveals that he's 33. In that same ep, DJ mentions that she's 14, which means he was only 19 when she was born. Did he and Pam get married because he got her pregnant as a teen? Was this ever addressed? Do I really care (yes, yes, I do!).

What depresses me is I remember watching Full House and relating to D.J. because we were close in age. And now I'm 30, so I'm closer to the adults' ages. Arghhh!!!

I always thought Danny was 20 when DJ was born. In the first season, Danny celebrates his 30th birthday (and Jesse drives his car into the bay) and DJ is ten in that episode. Still young, but I think being 20 when you have your first kid sounds better than being 19. At least then you are techincally out of your teens. I don't know though, I'm almost 22 and I cannot imagine having a kid until many, MANY years into the future.

It sure would have been an interesting twist to the show if DJ had had an episode when she found out she was the reason Danny and Pam had to get married.

Isn't it about time for a reunion movie? I would LURVVE a Full House reunion special. Imagine, Michelle would be going off to college, Stephanie would be graduating from college, maybe DJ's getting married. Maybe Jesse and Becky even had more children that were less annoying than Nicky and Alex!

Technically, I think Jodie Sweetin had her hair like that before the show. I saw a pre Full House headshot of her once, and she had the curls.



Is it wrong that I'm going "YES YES, DEAR GOD YES?"

The adults on this show are some of the most emotionally insecure people in the history of television. Seriously.

Case 1: I saw this one last night. Becky tries to buddy up with DJ and DJ (hilariously) takes advantage of her and "betrays their freindship" by sneaking out of the house to meet some guy. Becky gets all concerned that DJ won't like her anymore once she rats her out to Danny when he asks where she is. She's worried DJ won't think she's "cool" anymore or some shit.

Case 2: ...And speaking of Danny, there was an episode where all the adults and kids are talking about him behind his back about his insane cleaning habits and he overhears while standing in the closet. (There's a joke in there, but I don't feel like looking for it). So, like any normal person would, I'm sure, Danny completely changes his identity by becoming some scruffy woodsman and by eating out of the ice cream carton so that people will like him. That's really sad and vaguely creepy.

Case 3: Jesse moves out of the house that is not his own like a normal married person would. After "crying" one or two "tears", he spends one night at Becky's house-- the whole time clinging to Michelle's stuffed pig, mind -- before rushing back to the Tanners' again. Then he decided he could never leave them, so he and Becky of course move into the attic, in doing so making DJ give up her room.

I could analyze Joey, too, but I don't like thinking about that man.

Ooh, I would so be there for a reunion episode.

[ETA]: Oh my God, in my first post I referred to Joey as Uncle Joey! I'm so creeped out right now.

I thought I was losing my mind. So it WAS only one night. One lousy little night. And the next morning when they go to the Tanner house, Jesse hugged everyone and shrieked "I'm back with my family!" and D.J. says "isn't this great, the whole family back together again?" WTF? They were apart for one damn night! CREEPY.

I remember this being my favorite episode when I was younger, just because everyone made fun of Danny.



I just watched this ep today and thought the same thing -- why was everyone so excited? But the worst part of that conversation was when Danny was splitting everyone up into fractions and he sets Jesse and Becky aside and Jesse says, "I'm still part of the family, right?" Pathetic, man, just pathetic.

On Nick at Nite lately they've been showing episodes wherein Michelle is in preschool, and I have been finding myself murderously irritated with the damn preschool teacher. I don't even know what it is. Maybe that her students are so horribly behaved. Or that she speaks to the adults as if they were preschoolers. Or maybe it is just that hideous pair of glasses she wears. Is anyone else having this issue?

I hated Michelle's preschool teacher. I think it was the glasses.

Definitely the glasses.

You know how Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello were in an episode? I just discovered (quite by accident when I'd left HBO on) that Lori Loughlin was in a movie with them in the '80s. I wonder if she's the one who got them to appear.

Yep, that was Back to the Beach and I think that is why they appeared on the show.

But then again, you have to remember that none of the guys EVER spent the night away from home and at their girlfriend's places or anything. So one night was apparently a huge deal to them!

Great observations, Kelzen - the adults' emotional insecurity creeped me out too.



I've got one for him:

Case 4: Joey goes out and buys a car for DJ for her 16th birthday. Turns out the car is stolen. When the policewoman arrives at the house to investigate, the family manages to bail Joey out by proving how "innocent" he is, by showing her all his toys and explaining all his juvenile hobbies. Is he grateful? Of course not, he instead plays the victim, "I'm the big joke of the family, I'm leaving!" He only decides to stay after the 3 girls flashback to the times where Joey really came through for them: DJ w/the human sprinkler, Steph at the dentist, and Michelle learning to ride a bike. I wanted him to just get the hell out, but of course that wasn't going to happen. But more importantly, I couldn't stand how immature he was being, and how damn dependent he is on the family.

Another thing that creeped me out about this episode and also the "Dirty Dan" one where he overhears the family joking about his cleanliness, is how the ENTIRE family follows the victim around the house like a pack of mindless robots. Example: Joey goes in him room to pack his things - the whole family files into his room in a huddle, with Michelle in front, other girls in the middle, and the adults in the back. Honestly, everyone just happens to be home and has nothing better to do? This happens in other episodes, too. It just bothers the hell out of me.

But Jesse did. Earlier in the series he had a meltdown/early mid life crisis and left town for a few days on his motorcycle. I think he went to Tahoe or something. I just remember him in a cabin with his girlfriend and 20 other people and singing. Then D.J. (I think) got the idea of luring him home by pretending Michelle was sick. So, with the reasoning that "only I know how to give Michelle her medicine", he came home. So it was all the more weird for Married!Jesse to act like he'd never ever been away from the family before.

I don't know that it was ever addressed, specifically, but you are right that he was young. There's that one ep where he finds an old tape of the show he used to do on his college's t.v. station (when he was actually a student). One of the first bits on the tape is he holds up a picture of baby D.J. So yeah, he was 19 or 20 when she was born. I guess that was one reason there was such a big age gap between DJ and Stephanie (most people don't wait 5 years between kids)....or, more accurately, TPTB decided that they needed one of the kids to be pre-teen but they didn't want Danny to be too old, so that's how they had to work it out.
