Oh, the turtle. That episode bugged me so bad because they all kept sighing, "I love that amphibian." It's a reptile, dammit! Go back to fourth grade science and learn that!

I hate to change the subject, but regarding last night's episode where Stephanie cuts Jesse's hair--does anyone think they were a little lax? I mean cutting his hair was an accident, but allowing her to play with scissors just seems wrong. What was she, 6 years old? At that age she should be using safety scissors that barely cut construction paper.

Back on the animal topic, thanks for the burro recap. I can't believe I missed that one. I guess it will be awhile before N@N gets to it again.

I mean cutting his hair was an accident, but allowing her to play with scissors just seems wrong. What was she, 6 years old?

That's true; I think they were just trying to think of an excuse for John Stamos to get rid of that awful ape drape he was sportin'.

The donkey's name was Shorty, right?

In slight albeit reluctant defense of Michelle, it was Joey's dumb ass that made the lemonade sandwich board Michelle wore(the back of the sandwich board said SORRY, NO CHANGE). Danny "recognized his handwriting".



That was a rare cute moment from the later seasons, although IMO it was a throwback to Season one:

Lullaby
And goodnight
And there's more words
I'm not sure of...

Has anyone else noticed that in the early eppies, Jesse is the only one that can get a reaction out of Michelle? In the "DJ wants a horse" episode, Jesse is the only one seen trying to get Michelle to do tricks, and in the one where the grandparents come to rip Jesse a new one, he is the only one to get her to do anything, namely playing that toy guitar. I wonder if that's true, or if no one wanted to get too close to those damn Olsens:)

Yeah, but that was money she ''earned'' by pulling a fast one on the neighbors. I would have made her pay them all back.

Edited to move to the proper thread.

Good point- I remember in the 3rd grade I saved up all my money (I think it was like $20) and spent it all on Sandylion stickers- my mom was actually ashamed of me & gave me a guilt trip about it- but of course, Michelle could squander the family fortune away on a extra special wolly-pop, no biggie.

Oooo I thought of another animal- that phony ass camel that 'lived' in Gibler's backyard (it poked its head over the fence I think once).

That was actually supposed to be an ostrich... didn't look like one to me lol

I don't think Kimmy cared one way about the horse or the other from the start, but DJ persuaded her. So while DJ is galloping about and mooning over the horse, Kimmy doesn't show up once in the "Good Day Sunshine" montage.

Kimmy wasn't particularly bright, but she knew one TV cliche - that the horse would never be mentioned again - until they needed to drag out the plot for Michelle.

Hee. I love Becky sometimes. DJ just got her heart broken because of that boy who liked Cathy Santoni because she's prettier, and the guys (Dad and Dad Jr...not gay there, so sir) decide to tell her the ugly duckling story, which is a stupid move altogether, duh, and Becky goes, "You told her the story of the ugly duckling? You never tell that story unless it's about some other kid!" (or something to that effect). I cracked up. And then she made DJ feel good about herself and told a story about her own fuckups trying to impress boys.

I also love Jesse's father in this ep (I think that's who that is) when they all come back from the bachelor auction (why did they auction Jesse if he's not really a bachelor persay? I guess cuz of the hotness) and Becky's spent 1700 bucks on Jesse to keep him away from some trampy lady...PapaJess looks at her and deadpans, "You do realize that you could've had him for free." It's all in the delivery.

Hey, who played this boy (Jeff) anyway? I know it was SOMEONE. Someone known, I mean. I scrolled back a ways but couldn't find it.

ETA: toddler Michelle is actually giving good deliveries of her lines, or at least appears to be looking in the correct direction...an overcute "Have muh-cy!" at Jesse and Becky kissing...stupid, but at least she looked the right way. And now Cool-yay is doing impressions for his "comedy" act. Jay Leno's not bad, but Rodney Dangerfield sucks, and Michelle has this look of total ennui that cracks my shit up, and then after he shuts it, she goes, "No wespect!" which, okay, I thought it was cute and funny.

Anyone ever notice that in the credits with toddlerOlsen, the kid appears to be confused and pointing at the camera?

Hey, Danny, Jesse has a right to be furious! He worked all night on that jingle and DJ dumbly taped over it. He doesn't owe her a friggin' drum set, he MAYBE owes her an, "I'm sorry I yelled, but you need to ask before you play with my recording stuff, and please don't use a tape that's not yours." MAYBE. Other than that...no. You're an awful parent, Danny. No wonder your littlest one is such a horrible brat monster. And then you yell at him for not apologizing properly. Asshat.

The boy was played by Jonathan Brandis, who I guess is most famous for Seaquest. He committed suicide not that long ago.

ETA: I investigated and he died a year ago this November. He was also in Neverending Story II which I completely forgot about and the movie that made my eleven-year-old self fall in love with him, Ladybugs.

Aw, I knew he looked familiar. Yeah, I heard about his suicide through a friend; so sad. He was a major crush in my fifth grade class.

Ah yes, the great Cathy Santoni- one of those characters that you heard about every now & then, but only see, like, once. Didn't she get preggers when DJ was in HS?

That was back in like season 2 when Jesse and Becky hadn't started dating yet. At the time, he'd been hitting on her but she'd always been giving him the brushoff.

Last night I watched the episode where Danny invites over the girl he met at the supermarket and the guys triple date, meanwhile DJ babysits. And I was surprised at how decent early Full House was. I mean sure, it was horribly wholesome, but the jokes were moderately funny. And I was impressed by how good Jodie was at that age compared to the Olsen twins when they were five.

Though I couldn't accept the woman who wouldn't laugh at Joey's jokes. Sure, they weren't funny, but when you reply with 'Jimi Hendrix lived a tragic life, you jerk," something's not quite right with you.

Also I liked how in the early episodes DJ was involved with a lot of different things. Karate, horseback riding, etc. I was involved in similar things as a kid and rarely mentioned them once I hit high school.

Super-early Full House had the three guys using the Lord's name in vain, the D-word, and the H-word on a regular basis. By the end, they're saying "shucks". You'd think it'd be the other way around!

The episode where the everybody gets stuck in the airport at Christmas was on today. Jodie Sweetin is great in that episode, especially the scene where Joey plays faux Santa. Boy, Stephanie looked looked pissed.

Oh and the "thanks for the maps Stephanie!" computer screen from Santa? Priceless. Uncle Jesse making a cheesy speech about making Christmas from a vending machine and coat hanger? Even more priceless!

I know! Jesse was particularly badass -- I remember him saying "damn" and "hell" . . . . in the same episode! Madness! Plus, he had the whole feathered mullet thing going for him.

This is a completely random example of how stupid I am, but I'll say it anyway. You know the line in the theme song where the singer goes, "A hand to hold onto"? Well, I always thought that line was actually some weird-ass scatting thing where the singer was saying something along the lines of "A hid-a bon gonn to-o". I didn't figure out the correct words until about a month ago, when I started singing the theme song randomly, as is my wont, and my friend said, "What the hell are you singing?" Did anyone else ever think that, or am I just crazy?

. . . Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

BWAH! Just the thought of scat in the Full House theme song makes me giggle like a school girl. Although didn't the end of the theme song have a "Sha biddy bop du wop" tacked on there? Or am I making that up?

When I watched the show as a kid, I always thought Uncle Jesse was singing the theme song because the man's voice had the strained/constipated sound.

It was a little more like, "sha doobie do wop ba dow" but yeah, it had a little doo-wop thing going on. Hee.

I always thought she recognized the camera guy, who had to be leaning out of a truck or something weird in order to get the shot. I figured they had to know a majority of not just the cast but the crew as well, at least be familiar with them, because babies go through that whole stranger-fear thing where they just want their parents and that would eff up an enormous amount of shots, either by bursting into tears because they were being surrounded by strange giant hulking crew men, or by being too clingy with Bob/John/Dave/Candace/Jodie etc that it became difficult for the other actors to perform. Just a theory though. Hell, maybe Mary-Kate(feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but overall I totally kick ass at the SpotTheOlsen game) just saw a car she liked better than "Bullet" and was asking if she could put a deposit on it.

Speaking of Mary-Kate, she reportedly relapsed and is leaving school to undergo treatment closer to home.



Can't say I thought that, but I was confused by the "A light is waiting to carry you home" line. I always thought it was "lion" because that singer cannot enunciate to save his effin' life. When FH was on TBS some of the shows actually had the captions reading "lion", which I thought was hee-larious. And since when do lights carry people? In fact, Why am I looking for sense in the FH theme? The lyrics in general don't make sense. None of the Miller/Boyett themes make sense though. Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, they boggle the damn mind.

I am terrible @ this- how do you tell 'em apart on the show??? Heheh but when Michelle's on, I like to think "I wonder if that's the anorexic-druggie one..."



I'm always getting the Full House & Family Matters themes mixed up; they're practically identical.

My favorite interpretation of the theme song that I have heard has to be, "The milkman, the paperboy, and eat man ziti!"

Exactly! One of the many times they've taught the wrong lesson on this show. Jesse should have explained to DJ about how important it is to get work done on time, and how much it would cost him to do the work over, just because she decided to fool around with his recording equipment. Instead Danny twisted the whole thing around and made Jesse think he has a problem with his temper. But being justifiably angry is not the same thing as having a bad temper. It would be more of a problem if he didn't get angry in that situation! Plus, those drums must have cost him more than he would make on that jingle, so even if he retaped his song he'd come out at a loss. But Jesse never did have much business sense.

Didn't he also sing something like "and the thing and the something and the guy falls off the bike...three's company too!" If so, I loved that. If not, then I'm remembering things weird.

Well-said, well-said. God, that show could be such an aggravating pile of puke at times.


Possibly because that line makes no real sense? I still think the guy is saying "eating and TV", not "evening TV."
I still can't make sense of the Family Matters song. Not that I care to, since I wouldn't watch that show again unless I were being paid.

Miss Aquarius, I'm pretty darn good at telling the Olsens apart, too. It just happened, from watching too much of the show, I guess. It's so hard to describe how their differences, but they look different in the face. Ashley hair was more red when they were babies/toddlers, but I'm sure their hair was highlighted to match each other when they got old enough. I really wanted to find some pics of them as babies, but came up with a couple last season ones - better than nothing, I guess. Sorry, the quality is kinda bad (they aren't my pics, LOL) From the same scene, possibly:

M-K

Everywhere You Look by Jesse Frederick - Full House Lyrics

What ever happened to predictibility?
The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV.

Everywhere you look , everywhere you go (there's a heart).
There's a heart
A hand to hold onto.

Everywhere you look , everywhere you go.
There's a face
Of somebody who needs you.

Everywhere you look,
When you're lost out there and you're all alone,
A light is waiting to carry you home,
Everywhere you look.
Everywhere you look.

BWAH! What the hell was wrong with whoever sang the song that the only words that were enunciated were "Everywhere you looooook..."

I used to be able to sing the Perfect Strangers theme though. I must be weird.

ETA: the first line had the word "predictability" in it? The Hell?

Hee! He sure did!

These past few posts haven't been too good on my nose. The "sha doobie do wop ba dow's", the confusing theme song lyrics, the list goes on. Water traveling up there from all sorts of angles.

As for the Chimp twins, I couldn't tell them apart when they were babies but as they got a little older I could tell them apart and can still tell them apart to this day (even without the brunette-ness of MK).

I always thought "a hand to hold on to" was "I hit a home run, too". Even though that made no sense.

I do realize this is off topic:
Did anyone know that to download an IE plug-in for a search engine no longer requires doing anything other than waveing the mouse over the ad? I just found out the hard way while looking for the (topic) Full House lyrics. Thank God for spybot!

I don't like how they changed the lyrics up. They used to say:

"Whatever happened to predictability
The milkman, the paperboy, and evening TV
How did I get to living here
Somebody tell me please
This old world's confusing me

It sort of fit the show -- how Jesse and Joey gave up their "swingin' bachelor" lives to move in and help Danny raise his brats.

On the subject of DJ taping over Jesse's jingle -- If I were Joey and Jesse, I would be pissed in general because nothing of theirs seemed to be off limits to those brats. They could come into their rooms and mess with their stuff all the time. They had no privacy and their stuff was always getting messed with.

I agree with everyone about how Jesse had every right to be mad at DJ for taping over his jingle. I was actually glad to see some yelling rather than long talks over Twinkly music. But we got it anyway later on. Meh.

What was funny was when Jesse bought the drum set for DJ and Danny was all surprised. He was like, "You would actually buy a kid off?!" Hello, Danny?! What are you, new?! Review the first episode, pwease.

I just read at TVShowsonDVD.com that Full House will be coming to DVD in 2005!

I thought after "The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV" there was somthing like, "you miss and old familiar friend, waiting just around the bend." Don't they shorten the theme song in syndication?

Anyway, holy hell, did they ever let Mary-Kate and Ashley sleep? They've got some serious luggage under their eyes in those pics!

Yup, they shortened it to You miss your old familiar friends, but they're waiting just around the bend... Complete with season 2 cast running down the hill even in season 1 opening credits. Damn stupid syndication. And damn me a little bit for noticing the difference.

I thought it was How did I get delivered here, somebody tell me please/This whole world's confusing me... I tried looking up the lyrics and I got for the next part something like Flowers mean as you'll ever see/Ain't a bird who knows your tune/Then a little voice inside you whispers/Kid, don't sell your dreams short soon...

...which really scares me.

*High 5* @everyone as nutty as I am, when it comes to SpotTheOlsens. BTW, I have the strangest desire to make a YOU GOT IT, DUDE t-shirt. I'm trying to fight it. Please help.




*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!*

Thank you--I was beginning to think I imagined those lyrics. All the episodes I see now have that "miss your old familiar friend..." line. Does anyone know when the change was made, or if there's a specific episode that has that first version? I thought when N@N started over with the first season I'd get to hear it, but I've yet to hear it that way.

I am way, way too happy about this! Thanks for the info, ducksrun.

You're welcome. When I read that I just had to share the good news.

And I echo Miss Aquarius' squee!

I always thought the guy was saying "Joey's about fed up." I guess that makes no sense considering how the guys never got mad at anything those kids did.

And FH on DVD? I'd just love to hear the actors' commentaries, hopefully they'll make fun of the show a lot.

"Joey's about fed up"? That's hilarious! I'll never listen to the theme song the same way, especially with the whole "eat man ziti" line. (Mmmmm, man ziti. . . )

Oh, wow. FH on DVD will be pretty amazing -- commentary would rock my face off. I can imagine it now: Dave Cool-yay, maybe voicing concern about how creepy his character was, and how he wished that fucking woodchuck thing would just die already? John Stamos, saying how even he thought his Elvis impression blowed? Mary-Kate and Ashley, stating how they'd like people to address them as "Michelle 1" and "Michelle 2", because they're sensational actors on their own, and not an entity, thankyouverymuch?

Sweet.

I hate it how the Olsens are now proclaiming to the universe that they do not want to be referred to as "the Olsen Twins", but rather "Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen." As in, "we know we built our empire on the concept of our identical-ness, but now that we're tired of that schtick we're going to claim we are individuals and yet appear on magazine covers together" as they do on the recent issue of A&E magazine, hugging each other as if they're still in the damn womb.

I have discovered a new bit of strange FH trivia tonight: Tonight they showed the episode where Joey and Jesse sell the mini-mart jingle. Stephanie is shown wearing a shirt that says "SCOTTY" on the front, with two scotty dogs at the beginning and end of the words.

I watch the S2 start credits, and see they "Jody Sweetin" shot with Stephanie stepping out of the doorway, ready for school. This time she has the "SCOTTY" shirt on, but it's on backwards.

This is something that will eternally make no sense to me.

HEE. Awesome.


Totally. I'd buy it if it had commentary. I might not otherwise, just because those sets are always so expensive and I have other DVD priorities.


Fuckin' word. Here's an idea: if you don't want to be "the Olsen twins" do movies individually! Oh, wait, you can't, because you'll only get hired as an entity, my bad.
For some reason, this makes me think of one of these stupid math magazines we used in the fifth grade...there would be word problems/riddles written around various celebrities, and they would be drawn in caricature and their names would be fucked with. The Olsen twins were "Scary Bait and Ashtray Oldsoon." Remarkably accurate. I even remember how that stupid problem started: ''We're small enough to fit in a closet/And we're thinking of a number that's composite.'' People got paid to write this?


Maybe Stephanie dressed herself that day. Or they were trying to make us think it was a different shirt. Good question, and now that's going to annoy me for the rest of my life, thankyouverymuch.

I don't have anything to add, but I must say that these misheard lyrics to the stupid "Full House" theme are the funniest things I've read in a long time!

I'm so glad I waited until I got home to read this board instead of reading it in the computer lab like I usually do. I seriously just laughed outloud for a good 15 minutes. I'm gonna think about that every time the show comes on. "Joey's about fed up!!"

Ok I couldn't resist, here are the complete lyrics to the FH theme song according to us:

Whatever happened to predictability
The milkman, the paperboy, eat man ziti!
You miss your old familiar friends, but waiting just around the bend

Everywhere you look
There's a heart
I hit a home run too
Everywhere you look
There's a face
Of somebody who needs you

When you're lost out there and you're all alone
A lion is waiting to carry you home
Everywhere you look

Joey's about fed up!

Hee, hee, that was too much fun. I like this version better actually. And it makes about as much sense as the real lyrics.


Now I am going crazy trying to remember that song, I just remember it ended with Balki and Larry walking around Chicago in tuxes.

[ot] the end of the PS theme goes "Its my life, my dreams.. nothing's gonna stop me now.. *Dave Cool-Yay air trumpet solo![/ot]

Topic? The new and improved theme song rocks! I can't stop laughing at "eat man ziti!" and "Joey's about fed up!" BWAH!
