His name was Derek Boyd (how sad is it that I didn't have to look it up). Here is a picture of what he looks like now as well as some other Full House characters.

Denise (Jurnee Smollet) is beautiful!

Derek was simply the gayest kid who ever gayed. Even as a child, I got that.

Wow, I knew he would look funny, but not that funny, lol. WHy is he hugging up on girlee from Punky Brewster? (As you can see, I am horrible with names, lol). And yep, him and Danny Pintauro are neck and neck for the gayest of gay children. BTW, I totally forgot that Pet Cemetary kid was on FH. He will always look scary to me. Journee, OTOH, looks great, and I would love to see her in more acting roles (I hope she hasn't given it up!)

To be honest, I always thought it was supposed to mean "horror-scope". I guess I'm just as stupid as the writers! I still think the line is pretty fun though. For Full House anyway. However, I do always seem to find myself cracking up at the jokes more because of their corniness than cleverness.

Anyways, Whore-a-scope. Never would thought that, you dirty minded people :)

ETA: I think grown up Aaron is kind of cute. EW! That's so weird.

Sweet moses...thats Tahj Mowry now? Wow.

Aaron looks like one of those teenage athletic studs.

Who's in the picture of the 3 women at the bottom of the page? DJ and Rebecca are two, who's the other? They all look great.

Dude, that's Jodie Sweetin.

She's had a little work.

...As in crystal meth?

No, I think it is obvious that she has had some plastic surgery.

I thought it was a not-so-well-hidden secret that she's had her nose done.

And boobs.

Nevermind..

It is, isn't it? I've seen Miko Hughes on several "child stars all grown up" type shows and he always comes off really articulate and down to earth. Then when I start to find him cute, I remember he's Aaron from Full House and the creepy little kid from Pet Cemetery.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I hate Michelle with a passion of a thousand suns. I liked her as a child growing up, but I never realized how AH-noying she was until me and my college roommate watched that Nick@Nite Full House marathon.

I loved Stephanie and DJ and wished they could be my big sisters.

I loved Aaron and his smart mouth.

Derek. So gay.




Jurnee and Tahj look GREAT! And Jurnee is a really good singer, as is Tahj.

Yes, Michelle does suck. I noted more evidence of this when I was watching my season 3 DVDs the other night. In a short segment before the intro song, the girls and Danny are trying to decide a name for their new puppy (to be dubbed Comet). Michelle suggests "Michelle." After Stephanie suggests "Comet," Michelle says, "I like Michelle." Then after they make their decision, she leaves the room pouting. Of course, we're supposed to find it funny, but...HATE!

Also, something I was surprised by: In one of the eps in season 3, Joey and Jesse are briefly acting motherly toward Danny and one of them makes the comment, "I know about those magazines under your bed." A somewhat racy joke for Full House?

How come the "Stephanie-is-clingy-after-an-earthquake" episode is rarely on? I caught it on TV last week, but that's one I barely remember seeing. The rest I've seen so many times I couldn't count.

Her "You got it dude" and "Youre in bug trouble mister" got tired after awhile. Even Stephanie didnt say "How rude" all time.

I'm just wondering...how come DJ got grounded for bringing home a horse, but Michelle didnt when she bought home that donkey? Spoiled, much? And a lot of episodes seem to revolve around her. I think Teddy and Denise should of dumped her good in the best friends episode.

That's because she was the Princess, Princess Michelle. I remember the episode where she got her first punishment, at like age 4 or something, (way to be proactive, Dad) and that was after getting away with murder for the entire episode. Spoiled doesn't begin to descibe her. I don't know if I hate her, or the writers, because all they gave Michelle was stupid catchphrases to say, that quickly grated on my nerves.

Oh, and for the longest time I thought Mary Kate Ashley Olson was the longest name for one child. Why couldn't TPTB afford to put in a "&" in between the names in the earlier seasons?

I think I remember that... Didn't she bring the pool into the house? Like, after every single person in the world told her not to, and then Danny gets all sappy and mopey when he realized he has to 'punish' her? Ugh.



Heh. Glad to see I wasn't the only one!

I actually like Michelle's first punishment because I think it rings fairly true. Yeah, Michelle's a brat, and yeah, Danny's a pushover, but he at least explains WHY at the end. He just doesn't want to let her go. That's fair. The problem is that this episode was only the beginning and there was never any other acknowledgement of her bratiness ever again.

And yep, definitely thought she was Mary Kate Ashley Olson for years.

I think I remember hearing that TBTB didn't want people to know it was twins playing the role at first.

They do that in a lot of shows, like in Family Matters, the babies who played Richie went as Joseph Julius Wright. Without the &. When I watched the show, I though Ashley was her middle name.

It's really common to have twins play a role, because of the laws regarding child labor.

Heh. Better Homes and Gardens?

They've done much racier than that.

How about season 2, "A Little Romance" when the guys are participating in the bachelor auction--Danny is auctioning himself off and he is happy that someone actually put up a bid. All excited, he encourages the crowd: "Don't stop there, I can go all night!"

Every single hand goes up.

Someone else made a similiar comment about how they thought it was one kid playing Carrie on "Little House on the Prarie."

Sadly, I see parents from the Danny Tanner school of parenting all the time. "Ashleigh Britney Madison, do you want to go in the store? Do you want to stop standing and jumping up and down in the cart? Do you want to make Mommy happy by behaving?"

Don't ask, TELL the child what you want for a change.

I never knew there were two babies playing that role until now!

I didnt either until I looked up on IMDB a year ago. I thought Julius was his middle name.

Oh. My. GOD. Michelle is the hugest brat in the world.

Not that we didn't already know this, but today was the Tanner family picnic/Jesse needs to write a hit song fast episode.

Jesse promises Michelle he'll run in a race with her at the Tanner family picnic. But then it turns out he has a shot at a record deal - IF he can write a fantastic song over the weekend. So he tells the family he can't come to the picnic. Michelle whines that he promised. He explains that he has to work. "But you promised!" This goes on for about two solid minutes, until he finally loses his temper and says he's breaking his promise and storms off.

Stuck and alone, he goes to a diner and runs into an Elvis impersonator who scolds him for ignoring his family over his career, saying that his kids won't care if Daddy has a platinum record as long as he's there for them. So Jesse goes to the picnic and apologizes. Everyone but Michelle forgives him immediately, because, as Danny says, "We understand the pressure you've been under." To which Michelle snots, "No we don't."

Jesse asks if she can't forgive him and she brats, "Your name is Uncle Meanie!" And, of course, Danny says nothing, instead of telling her to stop being a brat and apologize immediately. So Jesse says he guesses she's still made at him. To which she replies, "Duuuh!" and he laughs and says he deserved that. But if it makes her feel any better, he felt really bad about breaking his promise. To which she says, "That helps a little."

He grovels some more, she "forgives him," I puke, the end.

Seriously, who lets a four-year-old get away with that kind of shit?

Also, the twins are really, really creepy (the Olsens, I mean.) They don't connect with any of the other actors; they just kind of stare blankly at/through people. I keep expecting them to tell the other kids to "Come play with us forever..."

I remember seeing in some special (True Hollywood story, maybe? or some special like that) that the Olsen Twins were fed lines from someone right behind the camera, so that's probably who they were looking at if you see blank stares. That also explains why their lines sound so stilted, were usually one-liners, and 2-3 beats off in comedic timing.

I know the practice of aging kids up on sitcoms is pretty ridiculous in some ways, but in others it makes a lot of sense. I'd rather an older child capable of acting than robotic toddlers performing for a treat being dangled just out of camera range.

And I still don't get why they didn't just stick with one of the twins after the girls were old enough for a full-time acting gig. By the end of the series they were older than Jodie Sweetin was when the series started; why did they keep on with both of them?

Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but I believe later in the series they were going to drop one of the twins (don't ask me which one), but Stamos fought them on it.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing. I don't know which one they wanted to drop, though.

Which is fine by me. As much as I hate Michelle, there's something nice about the fact that they actually did age properly on camera, and it's kind of cool that they had the twins playing the role.

When I first read your post sjbrown25, I thought two things. Either Stamos fought against a storyline where he dropped Nicky or Alex and one of them died, or Stamos fought them against just dropping either Nicky or Alex and having Jesse and Becky suddenly have one kid.

LMAO!!!!

I heard they wanted to keep Ashley because her comedic timing was better. But then again, I heard it was the Olsen parents that didn't want one of their girls being fired, so who really knows.

I hadn't seen an episode of this show in so long, but I was going through an old tape yesterday and came across the episode of Danny being Bachelor of the Month. Total Michelle Hate (TMH?) in that one. When she decides she's going to sneak on Danny's date, Teddy tells her, "But your dad said "No"'. Michelle snarks back, "Well I said "Yes"! That kid needed to be locked in a cage. And of course after Danny gives her the lecture and takes most of the blame for her actions, he treats her with gourmet cake. I'll give him the slight benefit of the doubt since he was on a date and didn't want to be a mean dad in front of Vickie. Still, I'm seeing what all you guys are saying about Michelle being a total brat.

Basically, all the episodes in the later seasons were "Michelle acts bratty and everyone apologizes." The Disneyland episodes were the best demonstration of it. But I put total blame on Danny & Jesse for being enablers.

Yes, I remember that one of the twins was the better actress. I know they're technically fraternal twins (two eggs and all), but I couldn't tell them apart for the life of me.

They aren't identical twins?

Wow...they're the most identical looking set of fraternal twins I've ever seen.

So they wanted to keep only one of them...and it was Ashley was it? Interesting. Very interesting.

Did anyone catch Jurnee Smollett on House this week? She was one of the featured patients and was very good. She's also stunningly gorgeous - but she was a really cute kid, if not the most natural actress.

Yeah, she's smoking hot now. Makes me feel weird to say that, although it probably shouldn't given what I said about the Olsens before they shriveled up.

Yeah, she was wonderful! I didn't even realize that it was her until the end of the episode.

I flat out refuse to believe they're not identical twins. Having a slight difference dosen't make them any less identical.

I've never seen siblings look THAT much alike.

It's scary that they're not identical twins, but I assume that the clarification was determined through a DNA test.

There's some speculation, however, that they're really half-identical twins. While identical twins form from one egg and one sperm that split after fusing and fraternal twins come from two eggs and two sperm, half-identical twins are from one egg that splits into two identical eggs that are each then fertilized by two separate sperm.

I have twin cousins who are fraternal but look exactly alike. One is a little bit skinnier than the other, but otherwise they look identical, so it does happen.

Topic: Is there any show more representative of bad 80s fashion, than this one? WOW. Dresses over spandex shorts, mullets, feathered bangs, SCRUNCHIES!

I knew someone who worked on one of the Olsen twins movies a few years ago, and she told me that they were both really nice, but that one of them really wanted to get out of showbiz and be "normal." (This was a few years before NYU even.) She stuck it out, though, because she knew the other would never have a career if she quit. (Which is, I'm sure, what her parents/agents/managers/whomever had beaten into her head.) I cannot, for the life of me, remember which one she said it was, but my gut tells me it was Mary Kate. Which would make sense, especially if Ashley was the one the FH producers wanted to keep.

As god-awful and precocious as most kids on tv are, I don't think there are any who were as annoying as Michelle. The only one who might come close is Olivia from the Cosby Show.

My favorite is when DJ wears the t-shirt ring/clip - I always thought that was a funny 80s look. Okay, maybe I was in love with it. I was very young!

Yes, polar twins. There is some doubt whether polar twins actually exist or not, but if they do, this is a good explanation for why the girls look so alike but do not test genetically identical. However, if polar twins don't exist - or if the girls are not even polar twins - my bets are on them not ever having had a reliable DNA test. I've read articles where twins experts say that they are more than likely identical and probably have never had a reliable test to confirm this and have always assumed - based on small differences like height - that they are fraternal.

Okay, topic? More Michelle hate today where she gets all butt-hurt about another baby being in the house. Welcome to not being the center of everyone's frickin' world, you damn brat. And then when they tried to bribe her to act like a "big girl"? Who does that?!?! Yes, that's damn fine influence when you use childish bribes to make a child act more mature.

Hey, I'm new to these boards and just sort of making the rounds. Full House is the only show that I've seen every episode of...and of course some episodes I've seen three or four or five times :( I grew up with it, and always looked forward to watching it. I love the episode where the truck comes through the kitchen and spills all the wet concrete and they try to scoop it up with china. Hahaha. Also the one where Steph and DJ make a hole in Danny's bedroom wall and then they sing that song..."Dad, dad, dad". There are so many great ones. Oh yeah, and the one where DJ sneaks off to see Stacey Q.

The only thing I hated about the show was the way it ended. You don't get any sense of wrap-up or conclusion with the last episode except that you figure out that Michelle is going to be okay after her falling incident. I still wish they would've given this show a proper ending.

Well, by the end of the run, it did turn into the Michelle Show. So the series finale seemed appropriate. I would love a TV movie reunion. None of the actors are that big (well, except maybe Stamos since he has the ER gig and Sagat with the VO on How I Met your Mother).

Anyone get the feeling Michelle would have wound up with her own horse - unlike DJ if the series had continued? 'Cause it's always Michelle, Michelle, Michelle!

She could have kept him in her bedroom, I'm sure her three dads would have gone for it.

Yeah, she'd also get away with murder because she's daddys wittle pwincess. I mean, how many times have she gotten grounded on he show compared to DJ and Steph?

Megaburger, I believe when they filmed the episode they didn't know that it was going to be the series finale. The decision to cancel the series came afterwards.

When you think about it, though, it does make an appropriate ending to the series. Because everyone talks about how important Michelle is to their lives, and that's where the show's focus was for the last four seasons.
