Well, that description isn't quite accurate. It sounds like DJ dumped them at the theater and took off. Actually, she and Steve were going to the movies for their date anyway, so she brought Steph and Michelle with them. They went to the kiddie movie because obnoxious Stephanie insisted that it wasn't appropriate for them to see something (gasp!) rated PG. All four of them were in the same theater until Kimmy's manager busted them.

Ah, thanks. That sounds more accurate! Haven't seen that episode in ages.

ETA:
Just found out that Season 3 is being released on April 4th.

My excitement is only quashed a bit by the fact that this is the season where Joey goes on Star Search.

On another note, I watched the unaired pilot with John Posey, and yeah... As much as Bob Saget is a "geeky giant", I have to admit he's much more convincing as Danny Tanner.

I really wish he had quit the standup circuit after that. Seriously, man was not funny. I always feel like that episode cruelly dangles hope in front of us and yanks it away with a Nelson Muntz laugh.

I've seen mentions in this thread of Steph and DJ's bedroom looking different in the pilot episode - an extra window that later disappeared. Where was it? 'Cause their room always had a largish window on the wall at a 45 degree angle between their two beds, right?

Right. There was an episode where they got into a fight and started throwing each other's stuff out that window. And there were scenes of them looking out that window in other episodes. Like when Stephanie was scared of the Wolfman (or whatever that horror movie character's name was) and kept looking out the window to see if Wolfman was coming to get them.

Speaking of D.J. and Stephanie's room, I finally saw that picture of Danny behind D.J.'s bed that some of you have talked about. It looked like a promo type picture he'd have through his morning show. Creepy, creepy, creepy.

Is season 3 the season where DJ starts Junior High and puts on too much makeup?

Yeah, you're right. If I can remember correctly (and I should, as I watched the episode two days ago!) that little bay window wasn't there in the pilot. I think I remember it being flat all along the wall. Also, a there was a second window extending a lot closer to Stephanie's bed. The room definately had wonky walls. I'll try to take a screenshot of it for you and post it sometime this week!

The worst episode ever was on Nick at Nite last night, it being the one where Joey plays in that hockey game and Michelle causes a universe of viewers to throw up in unison. First, Michelle talks like a baby and exhibits fears that are unbelievable for a six year old due to their presentation, and then uses these fears to make Joey not play his best. I think the dinner scene says it all because Michelle is sitting at the head of the table, as opposed to Danny, who should actually be sitting there. I shouldn't be watching these episodes because I'll never be able to stop the headaches that show up as a result.

Today Michelle convinced Teddy to sneak along on her father's date with Vicky. They barge into a fancy restaurant, grab handfuls of cake from the dessert cart, and when discovered, does she get in trouble? Of course not. She pouts, says "I am I in big twubbuh?" and Danny APOLOGIZES TO HER for not being around more. And then Vicky suggest they make it a "double date" and gives them more cake. And says she hopes she can double date with them again, says it was "fun" and tells the viewers what a great dad he is.
ARGH!

Edit: and now the bike episode. Dear god. First of all, the gross Danny/Vicky makeout subplot (I'd forgotten how good the actress who played Vicky was, though) is painful. Secondly, "I'll never trust you again?" What four-year-old talks like that? Third, bribing her with a video to get her on the bike again? That's just gross. And why was it so important that she try again immediately? Maybe she wasn't ready. I know you're supposed to get back on once you fall off, but it's hardly the end of the world if she doesn't want to ride again right away.
And what was with the wrist guards, knee pads, elbow pads, shin guards and goggles she wore? I'm not much older than Michelle and I had a bike helmet. That was it. I did have some of the padding for Rollerblading (for all the good it did me - I usually landed on my backside), but never shin guards or goggles.

Augh, that "double date" episode makes my blood boil! Stupid, stupid Michelle!

I just finished watching "The Seven Month Itch", parts one and two, from Season 1.
As noble it was of them to actually delve into that territory; that is, making a 24 year old man question his choice of living with his brother-in-law, three nieces, and a closet pedophile; it was all cancelled out with Jesse's unconvincing decision to return because he just loved those girls sooo much.
Also, how believable is it that a grown man is pulled away from a fun-filled ski trip with his best pals and beautiful girlfriend, who he never has enough private time with anyway, by the news that his niece is sick? If that were me, I'd be all, "Screw Michelle! Joey can give her the damn medicine!"
And, why didn't Danny lay the smackdown on the girls for resorting to such a lie to bring Jesse back? I mean, it's as if it was fully excused because they missed their dear old uncle. All it teaches kids is that it's fine to disrespect someone's life decision as long as it affects you in a negative way, and also, it's completely fine to lie about a pretty serious thing to get your own way. Sigh!

Then again, why am I complaining so much? This show wouldn't be worth watching if Jesse did leave, heh.

I caught this episode today about 2 minutes before this scene, and I was so excited because I had forgotten about this episode until it was mentioned here and really wanted to see it again. Stephanie spelling out Gibbler's name is hilarious -- what a great character she was. Only thing that ruined it was Michelle (of course) saying "Duhhhh" like she does, then following it up with, "Oh, can I take back that 'Duhhh?'" in that same annoying tone.

Today's ep was the one where Danny's sister visits and brings her chimpanzee with her. Said sister proceeds to hook up with Joey. An incredibly stupid episode, in my opinion, but Darlene Vogel, who played the sister, was terrific. She had a lot of charisma and was very funny. Shame they didn't use her more.

Well, given that it became aimed at youngish kids, maybe it was trying to teach a *subtle* message? That's what I always thought.

Aw, the chimp episode!
I don't get Full House on TV at all, so so far all I've had to remind me of those blissful FH years are the Seasons 1 and 2 DVDs. I miss seeing some of the later ones!
Last night I watched the Howie episode and remembered reading on here that Howie was played by a girl actor. Anyone have any clue as to why they would do that?

Speaking of the chimp episode, something just popped into my mind: whatever happened to Bubba the Turtle? (He was the turtle that saved Uncle Jesse's life by preventing him from riding his bike into an intersection where he could've been hit by an oncoming speeding car or something to that effect. Uncle Jesse was so touched he brought the poor animal home in his backpack. For the rest of the episode, poor Bubba was harassed as the girls carried him to and fro around the house and Michelle even took a ride on his back.)
Anyway, they sent Bubba cruising into the kitchen on a skateboard at the end of that episode and they never showed him again. Or did they?

I watched two Full House episodes yesterday (yay for random holidays!) and heard something that shocked me to my very core...Becky, when talking to the baby bruddas, referred to a certain live-in "comedian" as Uncle Joey.

Grrrrr... So that's where everyone gets it. It was actually said on the show. *head explodes*

I didn't even know there was such an episode! That means there's probably a few more I haven't seen either. If Nick or Family channels would quit showing the same ones, maybe I'll actually see them eventually.

It aired on Family here, in NYC. I don't know how the schedules differ from region to region.

From The Awful Truth...

More on John Stamos in the article, it's pretty good if you can get past Ted Casablanca's bitchiness.

I just read the Jodi Sweetin or whatever it is was in rehab for crystal meth. Is that true? Pretty harsh drug there Steph. I watched ETHS and got the impression she was doing well. Maybe all the Olsen twin coverage sent her into a downward spiral.

demonicae, I saw that here. I wonder if it's true!

I saw that Jodie Sweetin tidbit on a few sites today and was shocked as hell. If it's true (which I think it might be) that one threw me for a loop. It's not that I believe the Enquirer or Globe, but I've seen it on more than one site and too many people have written in with details--either people who were supposedly at college with her or supposedly knew someone in rehab with her.

It's also on Perez Hilton at www.perezhilton.com. Considering John Stamos supposedly gave a quote supporting Jodie, looks like it might be true.

Stephanie Tanner, say it isn't so...can't one child star avoid the curse?

I was just going to post about the meth thing - holy crap!

So Michelle ended up with Anorexia and allegedly use[d][s] cocaine.
Stephanie is a meth addict.
DJ is a freaky fundie.
Kimmy Gibbler turns out just fine as far as we know.

Ha.

That's because Bob Saget fingered her.

(Sorry, that was gross.)

Gross, but funny.

An episode I remember liking was one where Michelle was walking Comet and he ran away after a hot dog truck. It was funny to me because Michelle was just left on the sidewalk crying because she couldn't cross the street. Does anyone else remember this?

Well, there's Ron Howard & Jerry Mathers, but they are from a couple generations ago.

Storm shadow, I've seen that eppy.

I don't remember this episode (at what point in the series was this?), but I don't think I would ever let a kid who's not allowed to cross the street on her own walk a dog by herself, especially given Michelle's track record with animals (losing birds, killing fish, stealing dogs). I'm also surprised Michelle wouldn't cross the street without permission, but she managed to follow Danny to a restaurant. Go figure.

I do! If I remember correctly, Comet meets a female dog and falls in love and they travel all over San Francisco together.



I know there are actually plenty. But it seems child stars go only one of three ways.

1) Drug problem/rehab--too many to name

2) Find religion and become Born Again--Kirk and Candace Cameron, Lisa Whelchel, etc.

3) Druggie who later turns to religion

There are plenty of well adjusted child stars out there, but somehow I thought Stephanie Judith Tanner was above it all. Has she been spending too much time with Gia again?

This is a bonus feature for the season 3 DVDs? I thought bonus features were supposed to entice people buy DVDs!

Joey Impersonations? That is the best reason not to buy a DVD set Ever.

Oh yeah, and doesn't Nelson the Rich Geek help the girls look for Comet? IIRC, it was all Uncle Jesse's fault. It was his turn to walk Comet, but he didn't do it, so Michelle - who isn't allowed outside alone - took the liberty of doing it, and Comet takes off.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

No, what makes us buy it is that we're all addicted to this show. It's like listening to Pink Floyd over and over and over again....you just can't stop. Except this show's seat as Sovereign of the Reruns is based upon pure corniness, yelling at the Olsens on screen, and nostalgia. Although I have posted here several times; I shall say it again; the producers of these dvd sets REALLY ought to include some REAL extras...like maybe interviews of the cast members, or cast members at least commenting on particular episodes like in the Family Guy dvd's (What a novel idea!).



And I really can't believe that Jodie Sweetin subjugated herself to that sort of thing. I'm glad that it seems that she's o.k. now (this is, of course, assuming that the stories are in fact valid).

Until I read the actual box, I thought, for some reason, that "Joey impersonations" meant people impersonating Joey.
I can't decide which would be more painful to sit through.

I'm just curious about something-was anybody else annoyed at how Michelle's friends (or really any of the girl's friends) would just randomly walk into the house? They would eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner there with no playdate, no nothing. It was always got me angry.

I was under the impression that it's not that uncommon for kids who live near each other in the 'burbs to sort of drift from house to house - or it wasn't in the days when I was a kid (I lived in the city, so it was pretty much all playdates for me!) But yeah, inviting themselves in for meals was pretty rude.

What drove me nuts about meals in that house was breakfast time. The girls would have plates full of bacon, eggs, and toast, take two bites, then rush out the door. Maybe I'm food-obsessed, but that drove me nuts! Why not get up a little earlier so you can enjoy that delicious breakfast someone made for you? I hated that.

I do-but kids never just wander into my house.

Even if they did, Danny usually had to drive Michelle to Teddy's house.

I lived in a residential area with a bunch of my little school friends on the same street, and we were always running back and forth between each other's homes. Of course, that's a bit different than simply barging in without knocking, but we never arranged these get-togethers beforehand. It was always: "Can tip and fall come out to play?"

I wish that Michelle had been stuffed up into the chimney.

I did the same thing, especially in summertime, with all the kids in my neighbourhood. We'd come running into my house so I could show them new toys or whatever it is kids do, and vice versa at their house. I did not, however, serve anyone "cheese donuts" and proclaim I knew how to cook! However, that's a forgivable moment on the show only because Stephanie, not Michelle, did it. And Harry Takiyama was involved!

Anyways, my friends, feast your eyes on this fine specimen of a shirt I just purchased off of eBay. Are you jealous? Are you? Admit it, you're jealous of me. (Also, buying said shirt apparently makes me "emo". Oookkkaaayyy...)

Oh, that's a hilarious shirt, consterno! It's almost better than the one I just bought. :)

consterno, that is the most hilariously frightening shirt ever. I just wish I could watch people on the street react to it when you wear it.
A friend of mine has a shirt that reads SAGET in iron-on letters. Somewhere, I have a picture. It's awesome.

I was watching the episode where cousin Steve (aka Kirk Cameron) comes to visit. All he wants to do is watch sports or play sports, and the guys - including Jesse - are into it. Jesse shoots hoops with them, watches basketball with them, and even spouts off a few statistics. But years later, in the episode where D.J. asks Jesse to participate in a charity basketball tournament, Jesse is too embarassed to say yes, because he's clueless about basketball and sports in general. In fact, in the scenes with Kareem Abdul Jabar on the court, Jesse acts like he's never even held a basketball before. I've always laughed that inconsistency.

Saw the one last nite where Vicki made goat cheese pizza and spaghetti al pesto for dinner and Danny bribed Stephanie & Michelle to eat it.

I never got that. With Danny being the kind of Dad he was, I would've thought he'd have been adamant about having the girls eat whatever was for dinner. You know, "We don't waste food in this house" kind of thing. Except I can see him making exceptions for his darling Michelle of course.

Love Kimmy Gibbler-

Vicki: "You bribed the girls to eat my dinner?"

Danny: "Well, not all of them."

Kimmy: "Yeah, what's with that?" or "That blows." Anyhow, something to that effect. She was always the funniest one IMO. Probably gave the best line delivery.

Argh, and I can't stand Nicky and Alex. Where there ever dumber twin kids? Am I mean for saying so?

Heh. I've always laughed that Kareem Abdul Jabar was on this fucking show.

What bothered me about this ep was the dinner was probably pretty good, and if they would have bothered to get past the names they may have enjoyed it. But then it wouldn't have been "funny."

That part where Michelle strips the spaghetti of its pesto sauce and gives the pesto-napkin to Joey stands out in my head for some reason. What a waste of perfectly good sauce!

SamVid on 7th Heaven -- definitely dumber. Are you mean? No. :)

Mmmmm...pesto... I know what's for dinner tonight!

I would have received a smack on my backside if I tried that as a kid. But, since Michelle is perfect, it's no wonder she gets away with that shit.

You know, I agree that the kids were bratty and Danny was a jackass, but...those seem like really weird entrees to make for children whose eating habits you don't really know.

McKay, that is a good point. It's not typical kid fare and how many people would think of making that for a kids dinner? You can tell Vicki's been away from the Tanner household too long. She used to wining & dining at the 5 star restaurants of-what city was she in for her job, anyhow? Now I can't remember.

I don't remember exactly what she made, but was it really that weird? I know many think goatcheese sounds weird, but aside from that? And most of them were teenagers and adults anyway.

We live in a cul-de-sac. The kids do drift from house to house. We have our daughter ask if the boys can come in before they all just appear.
