i always thought that was strange. why do "cute kids" on sitcoms always have speech impediments? is it supposed to make them funny? cuter? i don't get it.

chinkygirl, i saw that one too! the best part was when finishing, michelle had this weird, blank stare.

the series finale was on yesterday, too. i sort of liked michelle in that one. she seemed rather...snarky. as in, "what the hell is wrong with these people?" heh. (maybe it was just the amnesia. whatever. i liked it.)

"Let's go bwudda!" "Ok, bwudda!" Ugh...I almost forgot about that..I hated those twins.

If hundreds of audience members (supposedly) were applauding my lack of reading skills and apparent stupidity, I would get a little catatonic too.

If anyone understands my anguish, it's you folks.

I got completley SUCKED into the marathon on Sunday (in fact, I called a girlfriend and we ate french toast and watched it together). But, what the fuck!? Why did we have to see the same ads the entire day!??! EEEEE!

Yeah, the twins were excruciating. And they really should have cut those poor kids' hair once in a while.

What was really stupid was that episode where Jesse and Becky took the twins to Joey's uncle (Dave Coulier in old man makeup) for their first haircut. And then all he did was comb their hair back. That dude had quite a racket going, I wonder how much he charged them.

The twins' long hair made for one funny scene, at least...when they were interviewing at the FancySchmancy Day Care Center, and the interviewer went behind the mirrored glass to observe Jesse and Becky with the boys. Jesse took one boy on each knee, faced the "mirror," and showed them how to shake their heads to "find your natural part, boys. Good, there you go!" I don't think this was meant to be laugh-track-funny, but I thought it was hilarious. Who doesn't know that a mirror that size in a day care is an observation booth?

Oh yes, another WTF moment. Remember how "Joey" turned their chairs around, appeared to be cutting both twins' hair at the same time, then turned the chairs back towards the audience so we can see their newly combed back (and possibly gelled) hair. This? Followed by yet another resounding "Awwwwww!!"

The studio audience "aww"s are ridiculous and even were at that time.

Whatever happened to Dylan and Blake Tuomy-Wilhoit? Couldn't find anything on IMDb...

I can't wait till they get back around to the older episodes (it'll still be a while, though) I love when Stephanie drives the car through the kitchen wall! And when DJ and co. put the principal's car on the roof...the early episodes were definitely the best.

ETA: I found this link to what appears to be a recent picture of the boys. Looks like they've finally gotten haircuts.

The older episodes of this show are great. The newer ones are... just too sugary sweet, especially with Jesse settling down with Rebecca and the twins being born.

It's so nice to see that the actors that paid the twins finally got those haircuts, sunny605!

Wow, those kids look really...hyperactive.

Apparently, TPTB did think it was cute when kids had speech impediments. Michelle couldn't say certain things for a while and most of the twins' friends also had problems talking.

I saw an episode the other day where Jesse was working his 'fabulous' laptop Commodor 64 and they hit a few buttons and jacked up the whole thing. Of course, Stephanie (was that the loud middle daughter) saved the whole day with two keystrokes.

Wasn't the car on the roof episode one of the later ones? I thought DJ was in high school by that time.

Let's talk fashion. Even with Becky and the teenage DJ/Steph/Kimmy combo around, Jesse always got to show the most skin. John Stamos was kinda hot, but he still could have buttoned up his shirts a bit more. Becky wore those fugly long sleeved turtle neck shirts with the shoulders cut out. I read somewhere that every once in a while the girls would get to keep something from their wardrobes and poor Andrea Barber would never get anything because she hated her clothes so much.

Arrrggghhh! You reminded me of "ous cream" (even after she was an adult, as seen in the look-into-the-future part of the-girls-are-selfish-little-witches episode.

I don't remember the twins' friends, but I do remember Michelle's friend Teddy. I used to think little Taj Mowry was so sweet and he had the same speech impediment I had as a child, the inability to say the letter "r." Now, looking back, that kid grates on my last nerve. Not as much as that bratty little Aaron or swishy Derek or even Michelle herself, but he still grates.

Ah, the "Cold Shoulder". How I miss the fashions of the early 90s. ;)

Did the twins even have friends? I remember the episode where they have to go preschool, and they won't play with any of the other kids.

As for Michelle's friends, I actually liked Teddy. From what I remember, he seemed more like a real kid than a child actor.

*delurks*

The twins wouldn't play with the other kids in a play group. IIRC, we did see one friend of theirs (Like, once). He was that smart kid that made Becky and Jesse feel that they had to enroll the twins in some prestigious preschool.

Teddy was awesome. "She talks with her hands on her head!" Denise was okay; I only hated the obvious child actors - Derek and whatsherface the redhead.

They really did put Becky in the baggiest clothes. If she wasn't wearing those huge turtlenecks, she was wearing a dress that looked like a muumuu on her.

Uncle Jesse wore a lot of V-neck undershirts - not a wise choice in my opinion, but they seemed to work for him. And of course, who can forget that leather vest.

Joey, on the other hand...ugh. Worst clothes on the show (and I'm including Kimmy Gibbler in on this). Worst clothes, worst hair. Danny looked better than him for crying out loud.

Yeah, and Joey had those fucking cartoon pajamas too. God, I hate that guy.

I think the car on the roof incident was DJ's senior prank.

I forgot about these kids. I can't see anything with a kid that even resembles that stupid Aaron kid without screaming at the tv. Even now. (Issues much?)

Denise was okay, but she seemed to be trying to act too old. Kid, you're 6, not 16.



Everytime I watch this show, I still can't believe he was the one Alanis was singing about.

Don't know what happened to my brain - the car on the roof was episode No. 188, one of the last ones. I am ashamed of myself and will give up my fan club membership (but only for a month). ;)

I always thought Derek was funny...in a genius, pretty-boy sort of way. And I said this before, but I heart Aaron. He was such a snotty little brat and did such a good job of it. (Maybe he was like that IRL?)

Denise was kind of annoying, but moreso was Michelle's friend Lisa.

Wasn't Aaron also the brat who upset me on "Who's The Boss?" I seem to have a fuzzy nightmare of him singing "Eye of the Tiger." My main complaints with him were that he made Teddy act mean to Michelle because she was a "gull" (I loved to hear Taj talk) and he was disrespectful to the adults.

I think he sang "Eye of the Tiger" on the Cosby Show, the episode with Olivia's birthday party. But yeah, hate him.

double post...nevermind

I'm bored, it's late, so forgive me for looking up this info. The boy from The Cosby Show and Who's the Boss are one in the same. But, annoying ass Aaron was someone else. He's actually from Kindergarten Cop - no wonder he looks familiar!

Hee! I had no idea they called it that! I also hated those huge dresses they made Becky wear - long sleeved, floor length, velvet-like, turtlenecked. The heck? I've heard about some non-nudity clauses for some actresses, but this takes the cake, hehe.

I apologize. I had my brats mixed up. I remember now. Miko is the kid who played Aaron and he makes movies and stuff now. I'd like to see how he and Derek and Lisa turned out appearance-wise.

Oh Derek. "Here comes that Yankee Doodle booooooooy!" I seriously hated that episode where he was too much of a pansy to play Yankee Doodle, AND when he was too much of a pansy to get the frisbee off of the piece of high playground equipment.

Holy shit...Aaron looks completely different now!

And looking at Derek's imdb bio, it turns out that he was on Star Search at one time...yeah, I totally see that now, lol.

Okay, GrownUpAaron looks much better, but just looking at his kiddie pics makes me want to slap him. He was so annoying!

What I hated about that episode was when Jesse was telling them the groups that played there in the old days (The Beatles and The Doors were two of the ones that he mentioned) and each time, they would say "Who?". To me, that was so unrealistic because how the Hell could you have never heard of The Beatles?

And speaking of all the "Aw" thing: I remember that in the last two seasons, I would count how many times they said "Aw" in one episode. And, I swear, one time there were at least twenty "Aw"s in one episode! Crazy.

Please tell me which episode that was, if you remember. Because I want to avoid it by all means.

God, the Smash Club was lame. I don't even remember anyone who performed there except those three old women who called themselves REM. At least I think that was the Smash Club.

Grown Up Derek (from 2002.) I can't believe he has the same Derek hair from some 8 years ago.

I've become addicted to this show, though I'm not sure why.

Episode where Stephanie is having a tough time adjusting to junior high
She calls up Jesse's and Danny's program pretending to be an exchange student.

"My friend wants me to smoke. What should I do?"

DJ: "Remember, a true friend likes you for who you are."

Kimmy: "That's right! A true friend like you for who you are and how much money you have."

I always wondered why her dad or the other two ever tried to get DJ to tell Kimmy to stop copying her homework. Both of them were ridiculously open about it, considering how hung up on integrity the three guys were.

Oh my God, Derek looks exactly the same.

I always felt that on some level, DJ knew Kimmy was a complete spaz. Every single other character was always snarking on her and DJ never stopped them. Some friend.

Oh my God. Seriously. DJ was the biggest asshole to Kimmy. She never should have been friends with her in the first place. Kimmy should have just been the annoying next-door Urkel who visited all the time because she enjoyed being abused. There was no reason to give DJ a special relationship with her.

DJ didn't have a lot of other friends, though. Maybe by being nice to Kimmy, she alienated herself from the other classmates who knew Kimmy was a weirdo...they assumed DJ was weird as well, even though she was pretty normal.

Wasn't he Mr. 'Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina' man?
Derek does look exactly the same - still has that Vanilla Ice hairdo. Poor kid!

MK & A Olsen actually grew up to be kind of cute. Who knew?

I honestly can't remember, but I'm thinking that it might be the Christmas episode from the last season where the guy that owned the store wouldn't let Jesse and Michelle leave and it turned out that he didn't have a family to go home to or something.

How can you forget Human Pudding, Stephanie's date's band? "We're human! We're pudding! Human Pudding!"

Oh, the aboundless talent...

Plus Stephanie and Gia's band played at the Smash Club too. I cringe at that episode because of the clothes they wore that were so cool for like a day. The shiny miniskirts, white baby tees, barettes in the hair and the white knee socks with mary janes. Ah, memories of 8th grade dances. *rolls eyes dramatically*

Hee, don't forget the quality Ace of Base song they played. That's when I really started hating Stephanie when I didn't before. She got so annoying.

All I remember of the Smash Club were the brightly coloured toilets Jesse had to choose from (yet they never showed the Smash Club's bathroom) and the spaztic cappucino machine with instructions only in Italian. To this day, whenever I see a huge shiny and expensive capp machine, I remember DJ trying to work it.

Oh, come on! I thought the episode where Kimmy gets drunk and DJ takes her home and gives the schpeel about her mother being killed by a drunk driver was nice and "aww"-worthy... Corny, but awww...

Yeesh, I'm terrified that I remember every single episode that you guys are talking about. And to add my two cents to the Smash Club... the defining moment (for me, at least) is Uncle Jesse coming down on the disco ball. I don't know why.

Edited because it's good to finish your thoughts

I believe he went with the black.

And REM? Renee, Esther, and Martha. I know, it's sad. Jesse's "Smush Club" napkins were pretty funny too.

Heh. I don't remember anything else about the episode, but I do remember exactly how "Human Pudding" sounded. Because that line is now running through my head.



Yeah, but that doesn't exactly make up for the years of neglect and abuse, now does it? :)

Oh, the sweet Del Rubio Triplets. I loved them. Rest In Peace, Elena and Eadie, and I hope Milly is doing well. I'd love to hear them sing "Whip It" again.

I have a total girl crush on the Olsen twins. Their movies are my guilty pleasures. So cheesy but so fun! And they have hot guy leads. And awesome clothes(mostly). And a whole freaking empire at 17. Yeah. I want an empire.

She was always annoying.
She always screamed her lines like she was on another stage and had to make sure the other actors heard her over in 'la-la land'. Even when she grew up, the screaming!!!

What was up with the hair on the early episodes of this show?
Michelle always had some huge bow or scrunchie when she was a kid, Stephanie must have slept in those awful pink sponge rollers every night and DJ with the bad perm that looked crunchy - even on tv. And then there was John Stamos with his mullet from hell.

To be fair, he only had the mullet from hell for one season. Then he had the perfectly moussed locks we'd all love to run our fingers through.

What...just me then?

I believe Joey kept the hockey mullet for quite a bit longer.

Joey always had a nasty-ass haircut. It complimented his hideous face very well.

I believe you are right; the mullet was only there the first season. Said mullet disappeared in the episode where Stephanie gave Jesse a "play" haircut with real scissors, and accidentally cut off a huge chunk of his hair, leading him to storm off to get his hair cut and break his arms. I always thought that specfic episode had the most bizarre storyline.
