I read some of the books too! The only ones I remember are the Michelle ones though. I DO want to start collecting the books, but I don't know how rare they are to find.

ETA that I'm reminded of the episode with Rusty for some reason. That episode was awesome.

I'm watching FH at this very moment, and I'm wondering why they had this obsession with the Beach Boys. I mean, they are a great band, but were the producers related to them or something? It seems that they're always meeting them; first in Hawaii, then at their house at least twice, and I think maybe another time after that possibly. It was insane, especially considering that everyone seems to have amnesia, because I didn't see them realizing that they'd met previously.

Yes, I do know that this was discussed on this board before (or was it on another board?),but I just had to bring it up again.

John Stamos was their fill-in drummer, I believe.

Speaking of Jurnee Smollett, she has a full-page feature in this week's People magazine (the one with Renee/Kenny on the front); apparently she's in Bow Wow's new movie, "Roll Bounce". She's still a pretty girl, and the interview sounded like she never became a total brat. :)

O yea, I remember now. But even so, I think they over-did it. If it were legal, they'd probably exume Elvis from his eternal rest to have a "very special episode" where John Stamos met Elvis. (I'm kidding; I'm sure the producers have more respect for Elvis than that.)

Nick at Nite was airing the very special episode where Jessie's greek grandfather dies, and of course Michelle is somehow at the center of the episode.

Does anyone else think that he actually committed suicide after the night in the Tanner house?

Nah, I think Michelle deliberately smothered him in his sleep so that she could somehow worm her way to the center of attention.

Great, now I have a picture of an evil, maniacally grinning Michelle in a dark room slowly approaching Papouli who is peacefully sleeping in his bed, not aware of his imminent death. Evil Michelle. Just pure satanism physically manifest.

Maybe she drowned him in the bathtub, like how she killed Martin with the bubble bath.

I have a drinking game (and I don't drink anymore) for that damn VSE about Papouli. Every time that whiny little Michelle says "Greek dance" take a drink. For that matter, every time she says "Papouli", we should take a drink. For "But Papouli was going to come to my school and teach my class a Greek dance", down the whole bottle.

It's official. I'm drunk and it took less than a half-hour. Thanks, Michelle.

Given that they were in San Francisco (and the Beach Boys originated in L.A.), wouldn't it have been more relevant for them to meet members of the Grateful Dead or former members of Jefferson Airplaine?

Then again, it was Full House.

Saw the episode today where Michelle is trying to earn badges for that Bumblebee group. Did anyone else smile with glee when everyone hated her pudding?

I could be mistaken, but didn't the lead singer of Jefferson Airplane die a while ago?  I know that Hendrix, Morrison, and Joplin all died at 27, but I can't remember if she formed a quartet of death with the others.  Besides, the only reason the Beach Boys did FH was because of their John Stamos affliliation (as someone pointed out), and Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead are too groovy for FH anyway.




At first I almost did, but then I remembered that they were all suffering because of her. So it evens out.

And when was the last time that freezing orange juice into popsicles counted as cooking? I was never in Girl Scouts or any sort of scouts so I can't speak from firsthand experience, but it seems like they'd have higher standards.

Tonight I had some Joey hate, he acted so retarted. He got the boys to do the Happy Mother's Day early, acted like a brat, and made that stupid puppy dog face. The boys are young, but Joey should know better. No wonder Jesse was getting upset.

Grace Slick is alive and kicking ass. She paints, too.

That's some good news; I'd thought she was dead for some reason. And that art is pretty loopy.


One of today's episode's was the one where Jesse and Joey get their Rush Hour Renegades gig, and the B-storyline of Stephanie writing that short story for school and messing with D.J. and Steve's relationship for good ideas for the story. I'd thought I'd seen most episodes by now, so it surprised me when I realized I didn't remember ever watching it. All I know now is that it was a rather mediocre episode.

And I want to know everyone's thoughts on ABC Family moving Full House from 4 p.m. to 3 p.m. Personally I think it was a good move on their part, because I can watch it earlier and start my homework earlier, etc.

I don't like it. I help out at my dad's gas station from 11 to 4, Mondays through Fridays. So I can only watch the show when I take off early. They should just get rid of Grounded for Life.

I hate it. I don't get home from work until 4ish. I'm stuck watching the Cosby Show now. Who wants to watch Grounded for Life? I didn't even know that show stayed on long enough to be shown in syndication.

I hate it too, because they kicked off Step by Step. Yes, I actually really enjoyed that show.

This is sort of pathetic because I actually love the work of Kevin Corrigan (Eddie from "Grounded for Life") but I would still much rather watch "Full House."

I just watched the first season DVDs including the unaired pilot, and man, did it ever make me appreciate Bob Saget's acting ability. Maybe its unfair for me to judge FauxDanny since I've watched eight seasons worth of Bob Saget as Danny, but that dude really did seem to stink up the place.

I also cried during the Thanksgiving episode when Jesse was talking about how much it hurt that his sister wasn't around for Thanksgiving. This show was so good in the beginning. The whole cast had a really good dynamic but I think John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin really stand out.

FH was so great once. And then Michelle learned how to talk. It was all downhill from there.

The beginning and middle seasons really were brilliant (yes, I use the term "brilliant"). This actually was a pretty original sitcom, not for the storylines necessarily (because FH used a lot of common storylines), but in the way it was presented. The later seasons have some redeeming qualities, but I think they did the right thing by canceling it when they did, because I think seasons 9 and 10 probably would've been painful to watch it they went ahead with it. I just wish that the producers would've at least prepared a better series finale than the stupid "Michelle falls off a horse gets amnesia and gets better in 2 episodes" finale they did. I know that it was only originally meant to be the 8th season finale, but when the producers knew that the show was ending, they could've at least had the decency to give the show and cast a proper farewell. I mean, all of the core actors (Saget, Coulier, Stamos, Cameron, Olsen, Sweetin) had been on the show for 8 straight years; the least the producers could've done was give a good ending.

DJ just forgot to pick up Michelle from school. Can we elect her Queen of the Universe?

No. As much as I would like to, she had to have done it with conscious intent. She just forgot, which makes her cool but not queen of the universe.

But of course, for this abominable crime, Danny will disown her.

That said, that's a pretty irresponsible thing to do. When I was little, my cousin forgot that she was baby-sitting me one evening, leaving me stranded outside her house, alone, and at 8 years old, that can be pretty terrifying. Between my mother, *her* mother, and the neighbor who took me in, she got bawled out good and proper.

You guys, it's so obvious. DJ only PRETENDED that she forgot to pick up Michelle, when the truth is that she deliberately left Michelle to fend for herself in the hopes that the brat would wander down to Fisherman's Wharf and get pecked to death by seagulls and pigeons.

Michelle? Please.

The little brat would have gone on a murder and robbery crime spree through the place, all before being picked up and coddled by Danny.

No, I think Danny would have punished her.

Danny: Michelle, you know that crime sprees are wrong. I'm going to have to...(faltering)...I'm going to have to p-punish you.

Michelle: But I thought I was your princess!

Danny: ...

DJ & Stephanie: Dad, just remember all those dead people!

Danny: Okay...dead people, dead people...

And then he makes her stare at the wall. For five minutes.

Hey man, staring at the wall for five minutes is one tough punishment. Never mind that Stephanie and DJ in that episode had to spend a whole Saturday raking leaves. Or that when she was younger DJ would get grounded in almost every single episode when she did something wrong. They really threw the book at Michelle though. They made her sit and stare. At the wall.

Now that is what I call "must see t.v."

Okay, I must say...after seeing Bob Saget at the Improv last weekend...I can never EVER watch another episode of Full House again. ESPECIALLY not after all of the Danny Tanner gay jokes...and the "Danny Tanner wasn't gay" song. Did anyone else catch him live, or see his performance in "The Aristocrats"? Raunchy...but HILARIOUS!

Danny Tanner gay jokes? Please give examples.

Ha ha...well just how he was a guy living IN SAN FRANCISCO with 2 other men...then he would do something like Uncle Joey's "cut it out" gesture with his hands...of course, I was at the 11:30 pm show so EVERYONE was already three sheets to the wind and thought that EVERYTHING he said was funny. And of course he just refused to make ANY Olsen twins jokes...although he did say that he "didn't like it when people made obscene comments about them...after all, he DIAPERED them. ......(last week). Stuff like that. Really off-color. I spoiler-tagged that so as not to offend anyone who doesn't know about his "other" side!!

O, yes, I did see the Aristocrats. And yes, Bob Saget did in fact retell one of the funniest (id est, dirtiest) of the renditions of the joke. I think if anyone else would've told the joke, it still would've been really funny, but Bob Saget just has a way of making it F-U-N-N-Y. I think it's the impression I've had of him for years as the "Full House" and "America's Funniest Home Videos" guy that contrasted with the material of the joke that made it even more hilarious than it would've been.
I wrote a post a little while ago about this very topic going into a little more detail before...so if any of you are interested and have the desire (and the time), I'm just mentioning it if you're so inclined to view it.




Which Improv was it? I think it's a chain, if I'm not mistaken. I live right across from Manhattan in Staten Island (a borough of NYC), and I know there's an Improv there, so if he plays there regularly that'd be great.
And I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a schedule of Bob Saget's stand-up appearances. I've been searching for a while and it seems as if Saget is the only major cast member from FH without his own website (bobsagetisgod.com doesn't count), so I can't find this stuff lol.

Actually, I live in Tampa, FL so I caught him at the Improv here. Kind of a last minute thing, we had gone to the Lightning hockey game (go BOLTS!) and wanted to do something after the game, so we ended up there. NOT a family-friendly affair!

Bob Saget can have some really hilarious moments on this show. I loved this little exchange on an episode I saw tonight (backstory: Danny is auditioning for Jesse's new band and almost has it in the bag until Viper shows up):

Viper: Thanks DJ.
DJ: You remembered my name.
Viper: Well its a great name.
DJ: Really? Its just two letters.
Viper: Yeah but if I tattoo it on my arm it won't hurt as much.
Danny: I'm Mildew, her father, and you can tattoo that on your--
Jesse: HEY!!

I actually laughed out loud at that just because of Saget's delivery.

There was actually an episode of Full House where Michelle didn't get exactly what she wanted! I watched the episode today where Jesse and Joey had to organize a patriotic play for Michelle's school, and they were casting everyone. Michelle wanted to be Yankee Doodle because DJ and Stephanie had both been Yankee Doodle back when they had done the same play. The part of Yankee Doodle went to another kid, and Michelle had to be the Statue of Liberty. Of course she sulks, because how dare Michelle never get what she wants?

She continues sulking through the next few rehearsals, and Joey and Jesse talk to her.

Joey: C'mon Jesse, why can't we just give her more lines or a song-and-dance number?
Jesse: No, we can't favor her. She needs to learn to be a team player.

That was extremely shocking, especially because Jesse IS the second person that worships Michelle the most. (Danny being first) And the episode actually ends with Michelle STILL being the Statue of Liberty, instead of Yankee Doodle! I'm shocked.

Oh, and that episode was also the infamous one where Danny's in the bathtub with Nicky and Alex. Just ew.

Yeah, but she still gets to have a little solo and sing along with Yankee Doodle. I just know that that wasn't in the original patrotic play script, Jesse and Joey added it to appease her. So she didn't totally get her way, but she still got a little bit of what she wanted.


If I was Becky and had just seen that, I would've taken the kids, packed up, and left right then and there.

I think it would've been the single most hilarious (and simultaneously disturbing) moment in all of television history if Danny wouldn't have uttered the line, "Don't worry, I have a bathing suit on". Just think about it.

For sure! I loved that one episode when Becky finds out she's pregnant. She doesn't tell Jesse, but the family thinks she did. He comes down to brag about the record company offering him a contract, but they think he's talking about the baby. He talks about how hard he worked, and how he's been practicing for years. Danny looks so uncomfortable and then he covers the girls' ears. He doesn't say anything, but the way he was looking made me LOL.



I have always been grossed out by that scene, but if this had happened? I would've been done with the show forever. Ew!

I loved that part too! An all-around funny moment.

I almost feel bad for my dad. I'm watching the show right now, and he hates this show. But it's such a good show, I just HAVE to watch it!

I saw the Michelle "Big Foot" eppy for the 1st time the other day. Pretty strange!
Question-who is the girl IRL that played her friend who had her wrap her feet & dunk them in ice water?

Would that be Lisa? (whom btw I will forever be thinking of as "Faghag Lisa" after reading this thread). I imdb'ed her and her name is Kathryn Zaremba.

Thanks nofret. She looked really familiar, but her name doesn't ring any bells. No snark lately on this board-what's happening? LOL!

Does anyone else dislike DJ's short casual pageboy style in the later eppys? I thought she had such pretty hair when she wore it long. And I like short & in-between hair too-just think the new "do" didn't do anything for her. Same as when Fergy cut her beautiful long red hair.

Kathryn Zaremba is probably best known for her work onstage as Annie in Annie Warbucks.

I liked DJ's hair longer, too. Her short hair, to me, was like Sam's short 'do on Who's the Boss? later in its run - I wasn't a fan. And I liked DJ's hair long whether it was straight or those wild waves she had in junior high on the show.

I caught the second half of the "door named dad" episode today. Unfortunately, I missed that line - the best of the series.

Edited to clarify

Is that why Lisa had obviously dyed-red hair, because she played Annie? Anyway, I don't care for Lisa because, like all of Michelle's friends, she is boring and useless, had things like dyed hair (which little kids just should have) and a gravelly voice, and her full name was Lisa Leeper. Hideous!

In the past I was more indifferent to stupid DJ than I was to the younger ones, but I have noticed that she grew progressively more annoying as she aged, so by the time her page-boy hairstyle came around (and her annoying short skirts, knee socks, and tie outfits) she was downright awful.

(I loathed Sam Whatever-Her-Last-Name was's short hairdo. I have never been a fan of Very Short Hair.)

Oh man, were those some bad outfits. If I can easily remember it, it has to be either really good or really bad, and those clothes are sticking out in a huge, bad way.
