Kathy Santoni was in the episode where Kimmi and DJ start junior high, she comes up to them in a sports bra and they don't recognize her b/c of the boobs.
Yeah. Sluts are constantly wearing sports bras to school. It's a real problem in the school system.
Ugh, I saw the episode when Michelle gets Danny this incredibly obnoxious and ugly tie and then makes Jesse take her to the joke store where she got it at the 23rd hour on Christmas Eve. Then she spends the whole time making fun of Jesse and don't get me wrong here, it was funny, but I was like "ungrateful little snob!" Seriously, it was so generous of him to take her and all she does is snark at him. But it was ok because in the end MEchelle helped Jesse get his Christmas Spirit back and the reasonably cranky store owner reconciled with his family even though they weren't even fighting.

In general, I
hate how sitcom writers think all kids are snarky mini-adults. Michelle was one of the worst in her last couple of seasons, and now it's rare to find a kid on TV who is NOT a sarcastic little [bleep].

I watched their first Christmas episode - the one where their flight gets grounded and they're stuck at an airport on Christmas - and it never fails to crack my shit up for the pure cheese factor. Jesse's speech was just so...sad. "Christmas is not about presents! It's about what's in our hearts!" I die laughing every time. Oh, and "D.J., what do you see over there? <a coat rack> No, I see a Christmas tree! Joey, what do you see over there? <a vending machine> No, I see a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings!" Lame.
As some of us have already mentioned, I can't figure out why Joey was attending a Tanner family Christmas reunion. His own mother lived either in or near San Francisco, right? He couldn't spend Christmas with her? I can sort of understand why Jesse and his parents attended - it was the first Christmas after Pam died, and the Tanners probably wanted the Katsopolous side to be there. (yes, I'm bored enough to fanwank these things)
And of course, there's the ending scene after Santa Claus shows up and the presents mysteriously resurface. The Tanners are ripping open their presents and everyone in the aiport - including the strangers, naturally - are singing happily. If I'm stuck in an airport on Christmas and I see a family opening their gifts, sorry, I would not sing along with them and clap my hands like a nutcase. I would watch them from a distance much like Jane Goodall observing the chimps, then I'd curse them.

Saw DJ's f'irst date with Steve" ep yesterday for the 1st time. Kind of different in that the adults were relegated to very little screen time, with the focus on the kids, and surprisingly no Danny/Daughter talk/hug at the end. It was a sister/sister/sister talk/hug fest instead.
Not a bad ep, considering. Considering what, I don't know. Just "considering"! Hee.

I like the sister/sister/sister episodes much better than any of the adult episodes. Mostly because the former usually has a great deal of Stephanie, who is awesome. She was the one redeeming factor on the show. Besides for, you know, DJ and Kimmy snarking at That Slut Kathi Santoni.
Seriously, no one wears a sports bra to school. No one.

Yeah, the episodes where the sisters were conspiring together were the best ones, the most normal ones. The lying to Dad/going to the movies with Steve/I had a bologna sandwich and the hole in the wall/"Dad song" episodes come to mind.

Here's what I learn after reading 214 pages.

3. And most importantly, I hate Michelle Tanner.

Allow me to humbly add to that list:
4. Joseph Alvin Gladstone (yes, it IS horrifying that i know his middle name) is either a mentally-underdeveloped man-child with occasional moments of adult reasoning, or he is an adult with occasional moments of regression into child-like behavioral patterns.
5. Daniel Ernest Tanner (again, scary!) is utterly whipped by his youngest daughter, all at the detriment of his other two [sane] sisters.
6. Jessie, a.k.a. "Hermes", Katsopolis (sorry, don't remember his middle name)....well, I really can't say anything bad about him (well, other than a few isolated incidents such as his not trusting D.J. when he thought she was drinking and when he got overly pissed off at Stephanie from cutting his hair by accident, the latter for which he ought to have bestowed unending thanks upon Stephanie) other than his horrible hair in the first season. And the name "Cochran"; but he had nothing to do with that.
7. Aunt Becky is hot.
Come on people, let's keep the list going!
O, and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

From Page 68, but I want to comment:
I also have a hard time believing that Jesse and Joey's ridiculous radio show would supposedly have so many listeners. From what they showed, it sounded like bad community radio. *Especially* that episode where they did a live remote from the downstairs studio at their home (so that Jesse could take care of his kids or whatever). I remember that for some stupid reason Joey was sprawled out on the floor -- and of COURSE people like Danny and Michelle came downstairs and started pushing the wrong buttons, which made their wacky home hijinx go out over the air for like five minutes.
WORD to that! I always thought that had to be the lamest radio station ever. I remember being severely irked by that episode. Wasn't Jesse trying to be macho man by showing Becky he could work and take care of the kids too? He kept running up and down the stairs to check on them. Lame radio station and lame rock club-would call the "Smash Club" a rock club? I'm getting this vague idea that Joey sprawled on the floor had something to do with him being sick and taking nose drops or eye drops? Something weird like that.

OMG - I saw that too and the Olsens had to be the trolliest looking little kids ever. And, frankly, I don't see that they're any better than average looking today-their heads are way too big for those scrawny little bodies and their eyes are creepy, like evil Keane kids. Not to mention the lack o' talent - I was waaayyy too old to see their movies/hear their "music" when it came out and that was painful, even for children's material. I'm just not seeing any talent or appeal to those two.
Jodie and Candace both grew up so pretty and come off intelligent in interviews (even thought Candace has that scary fundie thing going on she manages to appear reasonable in her interviews). It's a real shame what they put Candace through about her weight - she was probably all of a size 8 and most real girls could probably identify with her more because of it. I'd like to see a grown-up Gibbler, too.

Is it wrong that over the holiday break, I read over this entire thread? Yeah... sad. Well, in my defense, you guys rock at bringing the snark, plus now I know why I sucked at math throughout school: the extra space in my brain was taken up with useless Full House knowledge. Also, I don't think you guys can picture how much I laughed when reminded of the SMUSH CLUB napkins, Gibbler's apathetic, yet Shakespeare-quoting boyfriend, Duane, or this gem of a line: "We're human! We're pudding! HUMAN PUDDING!" Ahahah!
This show brings back so many memories of childhood. I, too, coveted DJ's lip phone. And for some reason, I was always amazed at that living room / kitchen door that swung both ways. Plus, I think Becky was my idol.
Anyways, this whole thing tempted me to go out and buy the DVDs, (of which only Season 2 was available today, sniff), and I hold you people to blame.
So far, Season 2 has solidified my Stephanie love. I laughed and laughed at her delivery when she decided to change her name to Connie Chung.
I didn't realize before, though, how much they relied on baby Michelle (ugh) lines to bring up the "Awww" factor of the show. I mean, every second scene is of the camera zooming in on Michelle's troll face as she pumps out something stupid like "cookie". Gag! I mean, I remember hating older Michelle but it didn't hit me how annoying baby Michelle was.
Also, how could I have forgotten about good ole "I can see up your nose, darling" Harry? Man, I love that little guy. The episode where he "marries" Stephanie used to be my favourite. I remember putting on my First Communion dress and copying the idea of using a roll of wax paper as my train. Sadly, I had no little Harry to recite wedding "bows" to.
Hmmm. Joey isn't as bad as I remember, though the jokes definately irritate now. BUT! The "Fogged In" episode, where Joey climbs into his bed late at night to find Jesse's mom sleeping there, is beyond disgusting. When Danny and the others get downstairs after hearing all the racket, they make Joey get out of the bed and he's wearing long johns. And um, you can clearly see... his... long john. Or short john, or whatever it is you want to call it. It's unecessary, and gross to the max! (Heh, these episodes are bringing out my 90s vocabulary!) The worst part is, Danny hands him a robe and says, "no one needs to see this", but he throws the robe over his shoulders, and it hides NOTHING. Gaaagh. Just very wrong.
Also, I really like how they wrote in Jesse's parents. They make a number of appearances in this season, and I can't get enough of their banter. It seems very natural, and they do a pretty decent job as actors. Almost as good as Sweetin!
Indeed, there were quite a few sexual references. My favourite was when Danny met a woman named Denise at the supermarket and invited her to dinner, along with two of her friends as dates for Jesse and Joey. Of course, because Jesse is such a big ole slutbag, it turns out he once dated Denise. Denise, being a slutbag herself, tries to rekindle their romance or something, and basically comes onto Jesse while on a date with Danny... wrong, much? Anyway, they're standing in Jesse's bunny room and she asks why there are bunnies on his wall. And he answers, "Well, you see... I started off with just two...." And then makes this little face and raises his eyebrows a bit. Heh. Jesse was always fun.
Just want to throw in here that Zoe, one of Denise's girl friends who's supposed to be hanging with Joey over dinner in this episode, totally pissed me off. So much attitude! I mean, I'm not one to be sticking up for ole Joseph here, but every time he tried to break the awkward silence with a joke, she'd shoot him down with a sneer on her face. Of course, in the end, she ends up being a clean freak and makes out with Danny. Sigh.
Another episode riddled with sex references is the bachelor auction one, where Becky ends up buying a date with Jesse for $1700. The thought of Danny "going all night" made me cringe beyond belief.
Anyhoo, I can't believe no one's mentioned one of my all-time favourite episodes. Can't remember when it aired first, and I haven't seen it in years, but it's the one where DJ is supposed to be babysitting Steph and Michelle and sneaks them into the movies where Kimmy is working as a ticket-ripper. She leaves the young'uns at a kiddie movie and heads out to make time with a cute boy. Of course, Steph and Michelle get discovered by an usher and are sent to the manager's office. I think DJ and Kimmy discover the "brats" are gone and one of them surmises that if caught, at least they should be smart enough to keep their mouths shut about how they got into the movie. Next scene is Stephanie sitting in front of the manager, clearly spelling out "G-I-B-B-L-E-R. Gibbler." HA! In your face, Gibblah. Though you guys are right, Gibbler is hilarious. "T-bone" and "Tannerinos" also sent me into fits of giggles.
Okay, time for me to go put in disc 3. Later, NERDBOMBERS!

Great post, consterno, you're making me want to watch my Season 2 DVD's now! I bought them 3 days ago, but have only managed to pull off the cellophane and admire how the discs are packaged - pretty cool layout. I really want to see Steph's wedding with Harry, and the one where DJ and Steph lose Danny's wedding ring in the bathroom sink. Do you or anyone else know if the earthquake episode is in Season 2? I loved that one and I haven't seen it in over 10 years. Something tells me it's from Season 3, though.
I have two episode questions for you guys, these have been bugging me off and on for years. I'm trying to figure out which episodes these two B-stories were in:
- Michelle needs new clothes, so Jesse takes her shopping and she comes home looking like a mini version of himself, complete with a leather jacket and pants.
- Danny's having a yard sale and at one point in the episode teaches Michelle disco moves to "Shake Your Booty". There was something with platform shoes, too.
Actually, these might both be from the same episode, Michelle looked about 4 in them. Thanks for any help you can give me!
