I don't know who's currently winning or what show they want, but even if we miss out this time, we still have the second Chance auction immediately following this one. I'm not giving up hope about Sara M recapping this bad MFer.

I'd kind of rather see Miss Alli take it on, but Sara M would also be good. Really, I don't think there's a bad choice among any of the recappers.

The Silence is not Golden episode is the one with "I ran into a door named Dad," right? Not surprised that one made the list, just because of that line.

And Fuller House - the one when Jesse's fake tear of leaving Michelle makes an appearance? Not good, not good! I know we've talked about this episode before, so I won't discuss too much, but that one makes me feel for John Stamos. He had to portray a character who couldn't deal with leaving his 5-year-old niece, and that's just sad.

I think so...it was the one where Stephanie has to work with this bratty kid who nobody likes and they totally bond and the kid lets it slip that his father abuses him. It never struck me as a great episode, but it was pretty good. It tackled the issue of child abuse pretty well, IMHO.



I remember when I first saw that episode a few years ago (I was too young to see it when it first came out) my nine-year-old self was like "yes! Michelle is soo gone!" But of course she wasn't. And I guess that's when I first started getting cynical about television. Darn you, Michelle! You ruin everything! [/senseless rant]

On another note, I loved Our Very First Telethon. Call me crazy...

Was Our Very First Telethon the one that DJ sings some song while Michelle's in a grocery cart? Was it Lollypops and Gummi Worms?

Those are truly like my ten least favorite Full House episodes ever. My favorites are generally the ones that focus on DJ (preferably pre-Steve) and/or Stephanie (especially her late elementary/early middle school years).

That sounds about right. I don't know about the song, but it sounds like something FH would do.

Oh...it's all coming back to me now. The horror, the horror! I, err, seem to have that blocked out of my mind...

So now I have to wash my ears out again. Thanks, Screamie.

After seeing this show today, no wonder Steph turned to meth.

It was Lollipops and Gummi Bears. My friend and I sing it at work all the time. Because we have no lives.

Well that's not as pathetic as me. I was talking to a friend about FH and I actually quoted, word for word, Stephanie's meltdown when Michelle got those damn tap shoes, and Stephanie ended up hiding them. Now that is having no life.

Stupid show.

I heard "Young Girl" on the radio today and immediately pictured Danny Tanner singing it in that episode with the Wake Up SF intern girl Kirsten. This of course reminded me of Bob Saget wearing those hideously wonderful pants for the Slaughter concert. That had to be one of the best episodes, if only for this line:

Danny: She said I looked like I was 33.
Jesse: You are 33.
Danny: So? It's common courtesy to knock off a few years.
Joey: Maybe she thought she did.

Psst. Bidding for the next Tubey's Kids auction is starting. Anyone else in?

Larry King said he will have a cast reunion tomorrow night. I am not sure all who will be there.

CNN.com's description:

Not very informative, but from that, looks like JS will be the main focus.

The commercial made it look like JS will be there. They are probably trying to get big ratings.

Today I realized that one of the lines I use fairly often in daily conversation came from FH.
"I laughed, I cried...but mostly I laughed."
Even when she got older, Stephanie got the better lines - I guess because JS was the only one who could act all that well.

Does anyone know whether CNN will air that show again? I missed the original 9 p.m. showing, and I'm angry at myself lol. And does anyone know if that show has been taped and put onto the internet (or will be) for download, like the Good Morning America interview?

It should be on again at 12am and 3am tonight (eastern).

It wasn't on at all because of breaking news CNN was covering tonight. They've been rescheduled for Monday.

I was home for lunch and happened to catch the episode where we meet Mickey and Gia for the first time. They offered a cigarette to Stephanie and she was all scared and stuff, eventually declining.

Was it wrong of me to say to the screen, "Oh go ahead and take it you little future Meth addict! You know you want it!"??

I swear, I cannot watch some of JS's scences anymore for they are tainted.

I hadn't given it any thought before, but now that you've mentioned it, I probably will look at Steph differently.

Oh, that episode is ridiculous. The way the BAAAAD girls are puffing on those cigarettes...yeah, I totally bought it...except not. And the fashion? Don't get me started on that.

Most of that Best Of list is crap, but I actually loved Our Very First Telethon too. Steph was so cute dancing to Love Shack.

C'mon, all you Full House lovers! Get on your bidding pants and put down some monies in the Full House recap auction. It will be the best tv-related investment you can make.

Might I just add that my Bob Saget shirt came in the mail the other day, and that I wore it today, and that I felt the most awesome urge to hug people all afternoon?

Was the Gia-as-badass-smoker episode the one where Steph put on a fake eastern European accent, called herself Olga, and phoned in to Jesse and Joey's radio show (Teen Talk / Yakkin with Youth!) to ask for advice about whether she should also smoke "the cigarette"? And didn't something happen like, they realized it was Steph and ran upstairs to her room where she was calling from to confront her about it?

Well if we had to choose one FH episode recap to bid on, which would it be? I can't make up my mind, but the Disneyland and Hawaii episodes would certainly be up there.

I would choose "Goodbye, Mr. Bear" episode; I know that I'm a corny dude for choosing so, but hey it's a great episode!

And I realize that I'm probably being a big pain in the neck for asking this, but can anyone tell me what this recapping/bidding/Tubey's Kids thing is exactly? I'm aware that it's for a charity of some sort, but beyond that I know nothing else. I've looked at the Tubey's Kids page and the FAQ, but both were rather vague.

For previous Full House recap auction attempts, it was decided that if FH won, it would be the Disneyland episodes. For one thing, they're so full of cheese it can't get much worse. Also, together they make an hour which makes for a longer and more fun recap. Though I think if we wanted to do two seperate episodes, we could.

I'll leave the auction explanation to someone who knows better than me. I'm still kind of unclear about the actual bidding process; I hear every group can do it their own way as long as the money gets where it needs to be, when it needs to be there. Anyone?

eta: Check out the Full House thread in Tubey's Auction for more details on how it's going so far and how the bidding will work. Apparently we're winning right now, so that just makes me want to put on my Bob Saget shirt (metaphorical AND 100% cotton!) and group hug everyone here. To some cheesy music.

eta2: I just watched "Our Very First Promo" and it was awesome. The best part is when crazy Ronnie makes DJ and Steph dress up in very stuffy clothes and come out holding violins and Steph greets Danny with a "Hello, Papa." And THEN, "cue baby Michelle" brings out an adorable asian kid who's supposed to be Danny's adopted daughter. Of course, Danny freaks out and yells, "My daughter isn't good enough to play the part of my daughter???"
Seriously, how I wish this was the case. I'd take that fake Michelle over the Olsens' sour acting and annoying troll faces anyday!

I hate you all! Okay, not really.

But I have read all 226 pages, and I can no longer watch the show the same way again. I can no longer enjoy Joey's kind interactions with the children as I can only imagine what's going through his head. Yesterday, on the stupid Rigby episode, when Denise walks in, Joey gets this strange look on his face. In the past, I'd think, 'Hey, Joey's having an idea,' but now I'm thinking, 'Oh crap, fresh meat!' Plus, after all the discussion about Joey/Danny/Jesse slash fiction, I cannot imagine what's actually going on in the house.

Of course, I already knew that Michelle sucked, so that wasn't new. I'm just glad I found a group of people with the same idea. I've never been more angry with an episode of a series than I was with the episode where Joey plays hockey and Michelle's scard of a stupid goatboy. Stephanie watching the Wolfman and getting scared I understand, but Michelle reading a tabloid and believing that Joey is the goatboy is just inane.

I actually had a dream last night where I was in the episode about Nicky and Alex misbehaving. Danny was criticizing Jesse and Becky at the dinner table, so I stood up and berated Danny for his little princess. He didn't care. He just hugged Michelle. Honest, that's how it went.

Can't wait to discuss the absurdity of one of my all time favorite shows with you guys. There seems to be no better place.

Did it at least feel good to tell Danny off for coddling his "little pwincess?"

I kind of think the Jodie Sweetin methhead thing might just be a publicity ploy. Notice how she is all gung ho to get back into acting. Something doesn't resonate as right with me and this. And it's not just that Stephanie would have never touched the meth.

It really did. I'm sure if I'd stayed asleep, she would have responded to me by overpronouncing her words and looking off-camera.

Honestly, talk about another trait about Michelle I hated. Remember the time she can't tie her shoes, and Jesse says, "What are you going to wear?" Michelle responds with "...anything with velcro." The way she says "velcro" as if she's trying to clear her throat and push her tongue out of her mouth...it just makes me want to cringe and cry and scream at the TV.

I would have loved to have thought these forums were around during the show's run. I wonder how Franklin and co. would have responded.

Dang, folks! Word is, we've been (temporarily!) outbid in the recap auction. Bidding is easy, and feels good, cause all proceeds go to a kids' charity! All you do is go to that thread and say how much you're good for. If we win, dawsnzchck will collect our money and send it to Glark. Even five bucks helps, guys! C'mooon... do it for the kiddies. And to see a recapper work their magic on this Full House cheesefest that we all love!

eta: Aaaand, we're back on top! Let's keep this up till Monday and we'll be getting down, Tanner style, in no time!

I'm not trying to pee in anybody's Cheerios, but I'm pretty sure they went to Disney World. As a bitter West Coaster who only got to go to Disneyland, I can attest to the fact that Disneyland has no marine dealie, no Moroccan bazarre setting, and no Indiana Jones stage show. To sum up: I'm pissed that Michelle got to go to Disney World while I (despite being so much cooler than she) had to go to Disneyland every freaking year.

Don't you mean Oat Boats?

HA! Oat Boats. That's classic. The best thing about Oat Boats is that they don't come with one of those pesky plastic bags inside to hold them -- it's straight through, 100% cardboard-to-cereal contact. And they come with a special converter that ensures that the amount of Oat Boats necessary to fill your bowl is the same amount that it takes to empty the box. That comes in especially handy when, say, you've been in a motorcycle accident on account of being pissed off about a hilarious haircut, and your entire upper body has been placed in a cast, thus restricting your arm mobility. You simply pick up the box and keep pouring until empty. Your bowl will contain the perfect amount of cereal for one sitting.

Now, don't get too excited. As amazing as all this sounds, Oat Boats do have one weakness - the box is not that strong. If, for example, it is being pulled in opposite directions from each end by two Tanner daughters, it is liable to bust open and send Oat Boats flying onto the kitchen floor. Don't panic. The appropriate step to take if you find yourself in this predicament is to emphatically crunch your way across them as you stomp off to your room in a huff.

I can't tell you how excited I'll be if we win. We HAVE to do the Disney World ones. I live in Central FL and the marriage of The Rat Trap and Horrid Michelle will bring about much bliss.

Unfortunately it seems that the Farscape people have infinite funds at their disposal. If anyone wants to contribute that hasn't or wants to contribute more, we've still got a shot.

I don't know about that. I mean, declaring oneself a meth addict (assuming in this hypothetical situation that the statement in fact holds no validity), actually going though with a divorce, and getting Bob Saget and John Stamos to publicly lie for your benefit, not to mention getting to get Promises (the detox place she went to) to lie for you, all seems rather fantastic and extreme. It hasn't been since the government coverup at Waco that such a conspiracy has taken place, lol.
I think I know what you're getting at though. Is it that you believe that she's utilizing her meth addiction, milking it thoroughly to get the most out of it? That's possible, and I think that's what she's doing....there's no reason why she shouldn't capitalize on it though. She probably came to some sort of epiphany after the addiction, and wants to do something more with her life; I'm all for that.

The Rigby episode is on now. It starts off with a good concept - Michelle learns a lesson in the dangers of believing television commercials. But of course, she's encouraged to harass some poor fucker in a Rigby suit until she gets her way again. Also, the Olsens are supposed to be laughing at the Rigby show, and the "smile" the one has plastered on her fact looks like a rictus grin, stiff and totally dead-eyed. It's disturbing. Jurnee Smollett was quite good though. I always forget how cute she was.

Also, what stupid seven-year-old doesn't know what an 800 number is? "We don't have time to dial 800 numbers!" Was Michelle challenged or something?

Denise was hilarious though. "I was gonna take this in for show and tell, but there's nothing to show!" And Stephanie got some good lines.

Disney World, yes. Then again, the Hawaii episode with its "Oh, look, we weren't stranded at all!" twist (I'm rooting for JJ Abrams to do that on Lost) was pretty snarkworthy. Or, the one where Stephanie got screwed out of her Counting Crows ticket, because Danny forced her to give it to Michelle. Because, it was "Michelle's turn" to do something fun. Never mind the fact that the horrendous little shit hadn't even heard of the band. Michelle spent the whole episode rubbing it in Stephanie and D.J.'s faces. That episode chaps my ass to this day! HATE, HATE, HATE!

I checked Larry King schedule and it won't be on this week. I wonder if they will be on now.

vespasian88, I just think it seems rather cavalier to her, "I was bored so I took meth and got addicted". Like if she were a meth head wouldn't she be in a lot worse shape? And I still think it's weird her husband didn't notice anything unusual. I think there's a lot more to the story that isn't being released.

I'd rather see that than Roseanne again. Wasn't she just on recently for crying out loud?

True, it does seem a bit odd that the husband didn't know about the addiction for months at a time, especially with him being a cop. However, I don't know if she would necessarily fabricate anything more than what actually happened simply for a jump start to her career. I'm just as curious as you are, though, about the whole story; I just doubt that we'll ever know all of it (nor do I know if I would want to know the whole story). All I know is that she might actually begin to act in television again, and any FH castmate getting work is good news!

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to put a qualifier on that. Any FH castmate EXCEPT the Olsen bots. And maybe Cool-yay.

Thank you. I'm not the only one. I don't think Jodie fabricated the story because I have heard enough of a back up from people who supposedly saw/knew she was at rehab and I don't think Jodie would do that anyway, but there is definitely much more to the story.

For one it strikes me as odd that the intervention was in early 2005. If so, why is the story coming to light now? Why is Jodie now making appearances about it?

Then there is the whole I was bored angle. I get that, but Jodie kind of makes it sound as if her experimenting has something to do with Full House ending and the loss of that. But Full House ended when she was around 13 and Jodie supposedly didn't start experimenting until after college because she was "bored". If Full House had been over for more than half a decade in which Jodie was out of the limelight at regular high school and regular college, wouldn't she have been already adjusted to the loss of the show? If most kids are bored and experimenting doesn't it happen in high school and/or college?

I'm also not really buying the husband didn't know angle. Even if they are getting a divorce, I'm tending to think it's more of the cover up for the husband because he's a policeman and otherwise he could get in trouble type of deal.

Then again, I don't really think I want to know the whole truth either.

Now that she's grown (same age as the Olsens, turning 20), guys on the Net are fawning over her. Unlike the Olsens, she looks healthy and happy. The Olsens now look like crackwhore trash.

And she's still busy, too -- I really liked her in Roll Bounce.

Saw that...loved her in it. Hated how her character was supposed to be an ugly duckling...she's a pretty girl.

Yeah, she's still working...funny how M-K is trying to separate herself from being a twin, dropping out of school to become a full-time "actress." Ha.
