I though she was kinda pretty

Vicky had crazy hair and was pretty, but she always gave me the creeps and had no personality. I'm not sure if it was the character or what, but the actress always looked extremely uncomfortable on camera. It was probably the burden of having to kiss Bob Saget. Ew.

One thing in Vicky's favor; she didn't get drawn into the blackhole of codependency that everyone else who spent much time around the Tanner family did. She didn't spend every moment of her spare time at their house *gasps*! She took a dream job even though it was far away and she'd only get to see them on vacations *faints*! Of course, if I'd watched the show for the first time I might have realised that that was a sure sign that she'd never marry Danny, no matter what the show wanted us to believe.

I liked Vicky, too. Why didn't she and Danny get married? I know they got engaged (in the Michelle-as-a-psycho-looney-spoiled-brat-hellspawn-minion-of-Satan-princess-for-a-day ep) but what eventually happened?

They split, because of their long distance relationshipe

I aslo though Vicky was kinda pretty, but she had some weird looking fingers

I liked Vicky. She had her annoying moments, but she was a lot better for Danny than Stephanie's friend Gia's mother Claire. Claire and Danny had absolutely no chemistry. Although one of the few Michelle moments that actually was funny was when Danny and Claire were on a date and Michelle, trying to be "bad" goes up to her and says "so you're the babe who's been hittin' on my old man?" and later says "so Pops, what've you been tellin' Blondie over here about me?" Even though I can't stand Michelle usually, I thought that segment was hilarious.

Agreed. Claire and Danny were blech. Anything was better than those two.

Watching the Forever episodes today, all I could think of was, "Geez Louise, John Stamos looks good in that video." Serious hotness. Aunt Becky was a lucky woman.

Poor Jesse though in the end. His band kicked him out because he wanted to be a father and husband to his wife and kids. Boy, who wants that?

Agreed. Didn't dig the song, but he looked damn good.

Like most of you guys, I liked Vicky with Danny more than him with Claire, too.

Yeah, and his kids couldn't talk and they had bad hair. : (

So I'm a day late and a dollar short on this (been on vacation), not to mention I should be ashamed of even knowing these things, but here goes.



It actually wasn't. Speaking as someone who not only had the album but saw them in concert. Heh. It's a pretty good impression of Boyz II Men but it's not them. One of the lyrics is even changed, for some inexplicable reason. The original song says, "Doin' a little East Coast swing," but it was Full-Houseified to say, "Doin' a little East Coast rock." I'm still trying to figure that one out. Did the producers think white bread America would associate the word "swing" with swinging in a *gasp* sexual connotation? Weird shit.

Also



Right before the party either DJ or Danny, I think it is, drops a line about how nice it was of the station to lend them the Flintstone costumes and the props. So they at least didn't pay for those things. But it doesn't change the fact that that party was way more than any 5-year-old has any right to expect, especially when said 5-year-old is a miserable, whiny little pain in the ass. And especially when they apparently do this for every stinkin' birthday of Michelle's, whereas DJ and Stephanie get squat. I mean, did it ever show them doing anything special for either of the older girls' birthdays? I mean besides giving DJ that hideous blue sweater that one year which she promptly fed to the school's lawn mower? Hee hee. Serves those dumbasses right for spending 80 bucks on a sweater for an elementary-school kid!

Jesse DID get Tommy Page to appear at one of Stephanie's birthday parties. I don't know if that counts as anything special, considering he sucks.

Was she even a VJ during that time period ('91-'92)? If not, she was probably the only one that would show up on BULL House (TM someone on the Jump The Shark site).

One thing that bugged me when I saw these episodes yesterday was during the jam session when the Beach Boys were singing "Surfin' USA". During the "bushy, bushy blonde hairdo" part, Mike Love touches DJ's hair, which looked more brown than blonde.

I was totally thinking the same thing when I watched that episode today. Wasn't Martha Quinn part of the originial pool of VJs when MTV launched in 1981? No way MTV would have kept her around for ten years. I agree, she was probably the only one willing to be on Full House.

I can't believe that I'm going to miss Cool-yay on the Surreal Life (no cable.) I just know that someone is going to ask him about Alanis. I know I would.

Oddly enough, that blue sweater was a Valentine's Day gift. It is both shameful and frightening that I know that. Anyway, just affirms that the two lesser daughters whose names didn't begin with 'M' and end in 'ichelle' were crapped upon incessantly on their b-days. Though, I am an only child and I'll be damned if I ever received an $80 gift on Valentine's Day.

Oh, well thank heavens I got it wrong. I was beginning to fear I knew everything about Full House. This makes up for me knowing about the Boyz II Men thing and where they got the Flinstones props. Still....waaaaay too much valuable space in my brain is taken up by Full House trivia facts.

I think I am going to embrace this knowledge. It beats knowing useful information, like algebra and traffic laws. I rather know the name and film credits of Stephanie's first date, thank-you-very-much. :)

I saw a promo last week. Jordan Knight was asking him about Mary-Kate and Ashley and he said something like how he'd like to get them in a hot tub or something. Cue to stunned look on Dave Coulier's face. Cue to embarassed look on Knight's face. Excellent!

That is awesome! I can't wait for the season to start. Speaking of MK and A, they were at the VMAs last night, in case anyone wants to check it out. I didn't get a chance to watch the show but it's MTV so they'll run it until you've seen it so many times you kinda want to die.

The newspapers covered it when MK and A made their way to NYC for school, by the way. I got all excited, and mentioned to my mom that I hoped to run into them one day. My mother, anti-Olsen and snarktastic as all get out, responded with the following: "Honey, if you ran into the Olsen Twins, they'd probably shatter."

This morning Nick2 ran one of the most complained about FH eps -- where Jesse and Becky take the Tweedles to Jasper's Kiddie Kuts to get their first hair "cuts". In dual-role land, Cool-yay will never get the flack he deserves for his portrayal of Uncle Jasper. Not from a show that brought us the likes of Melina and Stavros. Damn shame. Someone should have lit his pubes on fire for that ep.

I wanted to die while watching it the first time. Show sucked.

Oh, and word on Uncle Jasper -- he was basically the character of Joey, but somehow he managed to be far creepier and even more unfunny. Well played, Cool-yay. Well played.

Gee, you'd think with ole Dave's well-documented penchant for dating underaged girls (*cough*Alanis!*cough*), that he'd find that funny.

I can't believe I'm even going to defend him, but maybe he just feels like he saw them grow, and kind of feels like the way a father would feel about his daughter that other grown men find hot. I dunno, I really hate Dave/Joey (to me they're the same thing) so I don't know why I bother to make him out to have some humanity in him.

I agree, I mean I practically helped raised my cousin since she was a baby and she's 17 now. I even hear about her going out and anything talk about sex. I give that shock look like a big brother would. I see Dave's point on why he look at Jordan like that, forget about what happened with Alanis.

Holy shit, that was the funniest thing I read all day Miss Aquarius! I shall find a way to use this in everyday conversation from now on...preferably when speaking about Dave Cool-yay ;)

Yeah... Alanis was a kid but she wasn't like Dave's kid. He didn't Soon-Yi her or anything. It's still creepy and I can understand the comparison, but it's on a completely different level of creepiness when you go from wiping a baby's ass to thinking about tapping said ass -- which is why part of me can understand the shocked look.

But that whole moment seems funny to me(granted, I've only heard about it here and not seen it for myself but I'm going on what I read in this thread) -- because what was Jordan expecting Dave's reaction to be? A high-five? One of those nifty cut-it-out motions? Would he have been so quick to tell Candace Cameron that he wanted to slide knee-deep into her TV baby sisters? However, on that same note, I'm a little surprised Dave was surprised -- what with the countdowns to their 18th birthdays and everything else going on. He is on the internet constantly from what I hear, so he couldn't have possibly been immune to all of the "OMG They're Legal" fabulousness. I would have expected a snarky response comparing the era of Jordan's popularity to the era of MK and A's or something...wait. Did I just say I was expecting something funny from the unfunniest comic ever? My bad. Carry on.

ETA: Aw, thanks, ChinkyGirl! When it comes to thinking up interesting ways to serve Cool-yay's ass on a platter, I try to deliver. ;)

Edited again because for some reason when I posted a bunch of funky symbols came up. Even the message board gods don't like Cool-yay.

I am so embarrassed, but I have to report a continuity error I noticed on FH this weekend (what? FULL HOUSE with a continuity error? No way!).

On Sunday, on Nick at Nite's Back to School marathon, DJ tells Stephanie that she and Kimmy only met six months into first grade (or kindergarten?). But last night, on the ep in which DJ forgets Kimmy's birthday, DJ says that they've been best friends ever since Kimmy moved next door.

I just had to get that off my chest. And now my humiliation is complete.

P.S. Miss Aquarius, this was hilarious:

How is that a continuity error? Couldn't Kimmy have moved next door to the Tanners six months into first grade (or kindergarten)?


Oh, I'm sure that's why Dave had that reaction. I was just joking.

They make a point in the show of saying that Kimmy and DJ were in the same class together for six months before finding each other—DJ's trying to console Stephanie that the kids who seem like strangers in your class on the first day of school may eventually become her best buds.

Last night Michelle was her usual selfish self. She made Jessee feel guilty for playing with his Own kids.

Ah. You're right, I remember that.

What episode was that? (She was also being a bit of a brat when the men were taking care of a baby for the night)

One of last night's eps was the one in which they're trying to teach Michelle to tie her shoes. In this one scene (before they decide to teach her) she tells - nay, demands - that Stephanie tie her shoe. Stephanie said she did it at breakfast, twice on the way to school, once on the way back, and twice since they got home. Michelle purses her lips and scrunches up her face and says sarcastically "well, you're not doing a very good job."
HATE.

The Cousin Larry episode was on last night. Ok I have to quote my favorite line because you can tell John Stamos is so thrilled that he was actually given a snappy comeback:

"Let me tell you something. I'm not your acquaintance. I'm not your waiter. And if I was your mechanic you'd be having car problems." (the audience "Wooos!")

Speaking of "wooing" audiences, later when Stephanie pretends to be twins to impress the two twins who are the worst actors I've ever seen, the audience "WOOOS" when she walks off with both of them. They're TWELVE, people. Grow up.

Yankee Doodle was on tonight. I know it's been said a million billion times by now, but one more doesn't hurt: HATE. Die Michelle.
Creepy Danny in the bathtub with the twins made it that much worse.

Saw the one where Stephanie finds out her friend Charles is abused by his father. Is it horrible that when the little boy says, "Yeah, (I ran into) a door named Dad", I laughed so hard I scared my cat?
And in this same episode, Michelle is caught making phone calls to a joke line that costs money. When Danny finds out, he makes her go to bed early. What? Who does that as punishment anymore? I would have had to work off the cost of the calls.
Michelle proceeds to call her dad mean and mumbles all the way up the stairs and into the bedroom. What a little troll!

The one with Jesse And Becky trying to get Nicky and Alex to go to the "good school" was on yesterday and at the beginning of the episode I thought that other little kid the twins were playing with was cute when he corrected Jesse's grammar ("He talks well" instead of "He talks good"). But then a few seconds later he just belted out the ABC song for No. Apparent. Reason. I mean he just started singing. That annoyed me a bit...well, to the point where I yelled at my TV, "Ok kid, you're smart! Shut up."

And did you see Danny's reaction--shaking his head and laughing like it was not only appropriate but also the cutest, funniest thing she'd done?

I love the episode with the snotty cousins (Doyce Plunkett is my favorite name of all time). I always adored Larry Appleton but hated how he never ripped Balki a new asshole so seeing him get to be a complete dick was retroactively satisfying. However, as I was watching the twin talent show, I got way too irate at how Jesse was carrying the twins around and basically doing their shtick for them. When they won, I was almost shouting, "Hey! At least Debbie and Darla actually performed their own act! This is a travesty!"

Right afterwards, they showed the episode where Jesse goes back to school and confronts the stuffy English professor. After watching it, if I were a teacher, I'd probably lay down the verbal bitch slap on Uncle J, too. My personal favorite part is when, after Michelle successfully recites the shoe tying poem, the audience claps. They applaud because she said her lines correctly. I'm just glad that it never got to a Married With Children level of audience lameness where they would give a standing ovation to every trademark line.

"Beep, beep. Beep, beep. The horn went beep beep beep."

I'm going to have that little song stuck in my head for days. Damn you Full House!

*whispers*

My inner nerd finds something hot about Danny Tanner. Don't ask.

*slinks away*

I don't see that at all, RainIsBeatiful, but at least it's not Cool-yay!

Speaking of Cool-yay, I saw the episode where Joey gets DJ's car taken away, or something. Everyone in the Tanner family lamely snarks on him for it, and he gets all upset about it. He actually said, in a sullen voice: "Oh, I get it now. All these years you've been laughing at me, and not with me." Are you EIGHT YEARS OLD, Joey? If you dish it out, expect it to come back around, jackass.

Then, just so Joey's feelings don't get too hurt, DJ says how much she loves having Joey in the family because he makes everyone laugh, and we get the requisite clip show of Joey doing wacky and super-hilarious things like spitting out water. Actually, that's all I saw, because I was too disgusted to keep watching.

Ah, the infamous spitting of the water as if he were a fountain. From back in the day when they made Cool-Yay live in the alcove. Too bad Danny didn't have that thing bricked up one night.

I would have mixed up the mortar myself. :)

Let me clarify my DT love a little -- I think most of it lies in the fact that I know Bob Saget is such a raunchy guy IRL, so it's sort of like, "Look, RIB! It's a guy who's Nerd-by-day, Bad Boy-by-night! Isn't he dreamy?"

I need sleep.

I'm watching the episode when Jesse misses his graduation because he's stuck on the subway right now. I'm a little confused, maybe someone can answer this for me. I didn't think San Francisco had a subway systerm? Someone help please!

Also, Michelle is being her usual annoying self in this eppie. First off, she was the one that insisted they ride the subway, which led to Jesse missing his high school graduation. Then I don't know how she didn't get her ass kicked when she kept harassing a guy on the subway for littering. They really shouldn't take her out in public. Also, why is DJ missing from this episode? There is a quick mention of her being on a "ski trip" but I wonder what was wrong with Candance Cameron that she couldn't be in that episode. Any speculation?

Maybe she realized how stupid the episode was and requested to be written out. Or perhaps they initially had written her in as the one to babysit the twins, and she pulled out because she was afraid they'd leech brain cells from her.

The subway episode is one of my least favorite ones EVAH!!!! The fact that they show the NYC Astor Place subway station at one point and then the NYC Q train at another point only reinforces my hatred of the final seasons of FH. I don't think there is a subway system like that in SanFran, LaurafrmVirgnia. There may be something public-transportation related that goes underground at certain points, but it's not like that, to my knowledge.

The one where Joey buys the stolen car is another one of my least favorites -- first and foremost because it's a Joey ep. Then, it's like, DJ is old enough to have her own car and go out on her own but she's not old enough to be told the truth about the car's condition? If I was her, I would want to know that I am driving a potential deathtrap, so that when it breaks down and I get stranded, I won't be surprised. I mean, for someone as "safety conscious" as Danny was supposed to be, the fact that he was ready to let his daughter go out by herself with her braindead friends in a car that had just gotten serviced and not make her aware of that fact was real S-M-R-T smart.[/Homer Simpson]

Never before have I seen someone get off the hook for having stolen goods because they have Ninja Turtle slippers. Because, you know, criminals don't like cartoons. Except a lot of them do, and have the tattoos to prove it. But whatever, cop lady.

San Francisco has BART.

Ha! Hee, hee, hee. I may have just scared my cat, too. My one friend and I still say that every time we get hurt.

BART, indeed. But no one in the SF Bay Area refers to it as a subway. It's just called BART or "the train".
