But, but, dont'cha see? Michelle HAD to play Yankee Doodle. It was her birthright after all. DJ and Stephanie played the same role, so naturally it should go to L'il Shithead, I mean Michelle, no matter if she was talented or not. She was sooooo annoying about that Yankee Doodle crap. Derek was much better and she knew it, but she was Michelle Fuckin' Tanner.

WORD. She was so damn full of herself. The Disney episode pissed me off too since Stephanie should have been the princess.

She cheated, I tell you!!!

The Michelle's-feet-are-too-big episode was on yesterday. I seriously would like to know who the hell greenlighted that episode! Besides the general brattiness of Michelle, it's the stupidest "storyline" I've ever seen.

I'd forgotten how much I liked Kathryn Zaremba, though. The character was annoying, but that kid had charisma.

McKay , I totally agree. Add in the B-plot, which was basically a giant retcon, and you have an extremely terrible episode. We have already heard Aunt Becky sing, so why have part of an episode devoted to her not being able to?

It makes me wonder if, over the course of Full House's run, we didn't somehow stumble upon an alternate reality at some point between seasons. It seems to me that there were two Tanner families. The first being the one where Danny wasn't a neurotic neat freak, Jessie was a free-spirited biker and high school graduate, Joey was semi-normal, and Becky was a compotent singer. The second being the nightmarish version where Danny was OCD out the ass, Jessie was a fay metrosexual dropout, Joey was a disturbing man-child with whipped cream on his ass, and Becky was as fucking goofy as her inlaws.

That made me laugh more than it probably should have.

I, too, wonder why they had to destroy what seemed like a nice, normal family. Somehow, it must be Michelle's fault.

Well, they were pretty normal until Michelle learned to talk...

Wait a second, does Joey even have a teaching degree? If not at least studied education in college and has experience as a teacher's assitant.

Yeah, he has a degree. At least, he says so in that episode. He says he got it so that he can teach if his bigger dream fell through. Can't fault him for that since I'm essentially doing the same thing. Thankfully, though, my writings go beyond Bullwinkle and Popeye.

I always thought Joey was lying about studying education. There had been no indications of that before. I'm assuming he just found a "Mr. Gladstone" in the system, took a ether-soaked rag to him enroute to class that morning and then assumed his identity. Hell, that's probably how he got on Star Search, got the gig on that Frankie and Annette sitcom, became the opener for Wayne Newton...

I've mentioned before how one of my favorite episodes is when Danny overhears everyone talking about him. Last night, I caught the one when Joey buys D.J. the car for her birthday, but it turns out it's stolen, so the police officer comes to the house to arrest Joey. I LOVE how upset Joey gets because he thinks everyone thinks he's a joke (which, hello?) and they laugh at him all the time. He wants to be taken seriously, yet he says all this with a denim shirt that has some sort of unidentifiable cartoon animal on it.

I stopped watching after that, because I didn't want to see the ending where everyone says they love him blah blah. Based solely on the part when Joey is upset and sad and feels like shit, I'd have to say this one is moving up on the favorites list.

One would hope that someday, home movies of backstage antics that put Caligula to shame will surface someday. Nobody is that squeaky clean.
I forgive Bob Saget, in part for "The Aristocrats", and more so for "Rollin' with Saget", which is actually a pretty good rap song, better than "Lazy Sunday" in terms of rap parodies. I have to think of the song everytime I see an cute animal video show knockoff of AFV.

Agreed. One of my least favorite episodes is the one where the guys are having a hard time controlling Michelle. Umm, three grown men, one three-year-old, and you can't get her to stay in bed?

Three men and a toddler from hell.

I laughed like heck when Michelle kicked the soccer ball and her shoe went flying instead.

But still, just sit on her. I doubt anyone would have said anything.

Ok, I have been watching the re-runs on the family channel, and I noticed this a few weeks ago and keep forgetting to post.

Did anyone else notice how when Jesse got his record deal & made the music video. When he was on MTV he was being interviewed by Martha Quinn as herself when she was still a VJ. THEN, the very next season of the show Martha Quinn was back but playing a character (I forget her name) that went on a date with Joey??

Has anyone noticed this before, or is it just me?

I've noticed and I forgive it simply for... the AXE! FWOOSH!

Besides Michelle, this is the thing that bugs me the most about the show. A lot of shows retcon, but this one really takes the cake. The change in Jesse's last name from Cochran to Katsopolis (sp?), no one ever knowing that Jesse didnt finish high school, Becky not being able to sing, Danny's billiard scholarship, and the list goes on. So annoying!

At the same time, though, they kept character's ages correct and didn't jump forward with the girls; the Smash club was established as a place Jesse played as early as the pilot; they honored both Jesse and Joey's career failures by mentioning them many times.

I know those aren't necessarily huge, but the show did okay with certain things.

Today on ABC Family, the episode where Jesse decides that he can't handle the kids anymore, and he wants to be out on his own, was on. I think it's the only episode in which I actually disliked Jesse. He wrote a note in the middle of the night, and then just left, leaving the girls to wonder where he'd gone. I understand that he was feeling trapped, but it was such a selfish way to go about things.

He does finally come back after Steph and DJ trick him into it, but I still thought he was a douche for much of the episode.


In this same episode, DJ reminded Steph what happened during the Oat Boat incident. It was huge continuity considering it happened in the same season, but I still appreciated it.

I can't quite remember this ep, but really, he should leave the house. Especially when he and Becky got married. Even more when they had kids. Staying in the attic is ridiculous. This kind of reminds me of adult children living with their parents.

Even when Jesse, Becky and the twins moved somewhere else, it would still be a full house because there are 5 people living there.

But that's not full enough for a full house! I think they should've had the "Growing Pains" family move in with them too.

Hey, they're in San Francisco. Why not have the Salinger kids from Party of Five move in at the end? They lost their parents in a car crash--they have that in common with the girls! Bonding, complete.

I loathed those two episodes with a passion. Jesse was 24, "wild" (and I use this term loosely), single, and wanted to have fun. He could have easily helped with the three girls by babysitting; he didn't have to live there. (Plus, then poor Joey wouldn't have to be stuck in the alcove in the family room.)



Major word. Loving your family is one thing, but if I were Becky, I'd have begged Jesse to move the hell out of there. Trying to raise two growing boys while living in the attic (and I never saw a separate bedroom for the twins, either) just so they could be one big happy family is not only ridiculous, it's completely co-dependant.

ETA: Plus, the fact that two young girls can manage to dupe their beloved uncle to move back in with them when he's clearly ready to move on is pathetic.

The twins had their own bedroom. Albeit it was little bigger than a walk-in closet, but it was a bedroom with a door and everything.

Yes, I remember the episode where they were trying to get them to sleep in their car beds.

Right, and Jesse went in there all sad because he was a "mean daddy." Shut up. And who brings their kids ice cream in his pants? Of all the many reasons why that is wrong, I will simply point out that it is totally unhygienic.

BWAHAHAHA! That's right, he did! Just-strange. And wrong-very, very wrong.

Also on the topic of Uncle Jesse...I have always noticed something, & i'm sure alot of other people probably have as well. I'm pretty sure this has not been mentioned before. Why is it that in the first 2 1/2 season's or so of Full House Jesse almost always seems to be wearing a baby blue colored shirt. I understand that the color may have looked good on him, but seriously his whole wardrobe pretty much consisted of black pants & shoes, leather vests & jackets, and and endless array of baby blue shirts. Aside from it being him basically wearing the same outfit everyday, baby blue doesn't really scream bad boy either.

"Joey" (not Uncle Joey, darnit), spoke at Penn State (my alma mater) recently.

The best part of this article is learning what really happened to Mr. Woodchuck.

Also, the article says there's going to be a movie - I'm guessing a TV movie? Regardless,

Aww, poor Mr. Woodchuck.

A movie, huh? I wonder if it'll be like a "Where are they now?" type thing or something behind the scenes. I can't imagine they'd act in it, but it'd be interesting to hear everyone talk about what went on backstage. They already had a THS, but since that was devoted to the Olsens, maybe this one could concentrate on everyone and actually be worthwhile.

I went to see this last Saturday and I have to say he was surprisngly funny. He really hit his stride towards the end telling fart jokes--which is a sad telling of our maturity level, but what the hell it was almost midnight and we were all tired/depressed/and hung over after losing to Ohio State.

What the hell is there NOT to do at Penn State that people are being turned away at a Dave Coulier appearance?

Yea I was incredibly shocked at the amount of people that showed up. The only explanation I can think of is it was dry weekend at the frats or everyone may have been passed out after the game so they weren't throwing parties lol

OT: Umm seriously a movie? Is this like an original cast deal, cuz that's going to be interesting with an anorexic Michelle and a crystal-meth recovering Stephanie

That one doesn't surprise me too much. My sister didn't graduate (she dropped out 2 weeks before but had almost enough credits to) was invited to her class reunion. I'm sure it's not totally common though.

Hmm.. It sounds like a stupid title for a movie. Maybe it's Dave Coulier's lame attempt at a documentary? Maybe it's just a rumor. But I could see it happening. None of the actors made it big (well no one has done anything big lately except John Stamos). The Olsen twins are raking in dough with clothing lines, etc, but aren't big in the acting world.

OT: I went out of my way to go see 2 people from The Real World: New Orleans talk at my college. But don't worry! I wasn't lame enough to hang out and get their autographs after the show.

Perhaps it's just one of those NBC documentaries like they recently did with Diff'rent Strokes.

I got invited to my five-year (WTF do people accomplish in five years that they feel the need to reunite?) reunion earlier this year, and I didn't graduate from that particular school. But I was close to the end. I'm still on their mailing lists and suchforth.

This is from really far back but I just about bust a gut. Then it dawned on me that the writers may have been stupid enough that they didn't note the double entendre there and meant for it to mean Steph was calling Kimmy a "horror" and us filthy minded folk think whore.

Or heck, maybe I'm the only filthy minded one here.

Yeah, she definitely meant "horror" but perhaps there was a subtext. If so: awesome.

I don't remember this scene, but it sounds great. I guess it would depend on the pronunciation..."hara-scope" (horror) vs. "whore-oscope". (I say whore-oscope, but I'm from Georgia, not California.)

Anyone else think the writers had this in mind when they created Michelle?

HAAAA!!!!!!!!

The "baby Tony" episode was a new one for me, when Michelle was acting all hissy about him-surprise! Who was baby Tony and where did he come from?

The neighbors' kid. They dropped him off. It was the same neighbors who were the parents of the bratty boy D.J. babysat when she was saving for her own phone, and suddenly they also have baby Tony now. Oh well.

You gotta love the snarkyness of whoever writes the descriptions for TitanTV...

I had to babysit my friend's unruly children yesterday. All they wanted to watch was their DVD collections of this show. I had forgotten just how horrible the children were on the show. If I were Danny, Jesse, or Joey I would not have given in to Michelle's shit all the time. Hell if I had children I'd make sure they didn't act up like that.

OK, someone help me out here please...

What is the name of that really really really annoying blond boy who was in Michelle's class. He had the body of a 7 year old but talked like he was 43, he could sing (I think) and he kinda resembled Macauley Culkin. I hated him so much, but I wanna see what he looks like now, lol.

Derek S. Boyd, played by Blake McIver Ewing.

I saw a pic of him from 2002-ish, I forgot where, but he looks pretty much the same.
