I’m a 2000s kid who watched Full House a lot on ABC Family and Nick At Nite. That means that I’ve never seen the show in order so thank you for the season-by-season synopsis. I remember a lot of these episodes. I remember the Disney World episodes too but Vicky was somehow erased from my memory. Also, RIP Bob Saget
I always felt like the series finale should’ve been about Danny and Vicky getting married. The show started with him being a single dad so it would’ve been nice to end it on the note he’s married again. I also just always hated the series finale being centered around Michelle, the last few seasons especially focused on her so much to the point I feel like it dragged down the other characters. I get the Olsen twins were marketable but it basically became the Michelle show at one point. A series finale about Danny and Vicky being married also would’ve been a nice way to bring the family together before it ended
It also would have been more "final." Because I watched it in syndication I never knew the finale was the finale because it seemed like "just another 2 part episode" (I recall them not being so rare that this 2 part episode had to be the finale). For the most part the episode just ends on the status quo and could be inserted anywhere in the season, Steve came back but it just seemed like a guest appearance and not "a grand reunion for one last hurrah" like other series that write out a character.
@@d.52555 I'm honestly of the opinion Steve was only annoying in Seasons 5-6. That's when Family Matters really sunk into "After School Special" territory. But Season 7 came and to me at least, the show got fun again. And since everyone was a bit older, they were able to focus on more interesting storylines. Watching Steve eventually ditch the suspenders and cultivate a more sensible look, and even becoming more dexterous and (a little) less clumsy by learning Hibachi was pretty satisfying to watch develop. I really wish the show had gotten one last season where we would've seen Laura and Steve not only tie the knot, but see more of Eddie develop his career as a police officer. There could've been a redemption arc for Myra since Season 9 pretty much turned her into a bit of an obsessive villain... but that unfortunately could never happen given Michelle's unfortunate passing.
No, it was the Jesse and Becky show, it revolved all around Jesse and Beckys relationship all lot and it was also all lot about Dj and Stephanie, while Danny, Joey & Michelle AND Comet barely get anything.
Finding out Bob Saget was this raunchy foul mouthed comedian in real life stunned me back in the day because I only knew him from Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos.
John Stamos was the strongest cast member by far. Sexy, funny, charismatic, musically talented. Anal Danny and cartoon voices Joey were one note jokes after a few seasons.
I find it hillarious that seasons 7 and 8 saw everyone grew their mullets grow again. DJ is pretty much the only one with a very 90s haircut (though it did age well) while the other girls just have super normal hairstyles.
@@RoyalBlue4486 I don't think so. After reading a bit it seems that the last name for Stamos character's last name was in fact Cochran (originally his character was going to be called Adam Cochran) but he didn't like the name Adam for the character. So it was Jessie Chocran for the entirety of the first season, Katsoplis from Season 2 onwards because he wanted to incorporate his real life Greek heritage into the character.
I always thought of ‘Jesse’ as the guy you have fun with and I thought of ‘Joey’ as the guy you marry. I thought of ‘Danny’ as being the one I could go to for answers about Jesse and Joey. R.I.P., Bob Saget.
Yep and another fun fact: Jesse’s name was actually “Adam.” That’s what the creator (Jeff Franklin) originally named the character, but John Stamos didn’t like that name and told Franklin he wanted to change the character’s name to Jesse.
At the time it was common for season finales to also be written as potential series finales; often the shows didn't know if they were getting picked up for another season. It wouldn't be surprising if season 6 was written the way it was because it was potentially going to be the actual end.
IDK if it's just me? But I hate Season 8's ending. I don't like that Michelle's amnesia plot being the main focus with DJ's prom plot taking the back seat IMO.
Michelle's amnesia episodes never felt like a series finale to me. Perhaps that's because they weren't necessarily intended to be series finale as they might not have known if they were being cancelled or not? Anyway, like the author of this video, I think the season 6 finale felt like more of a series finale and then the episodes where the rich guy wants to buy the Tanner's house and everyone is thinking of moving out felt more like a series finale than the episodes that actually were the series finale. I hope that makes sense!
Loved this video. I always said the same thing with Jesse. It was so weird with the retcon with his high school reunion. In his flash back he says "we graduate tomorrow..." and then he says to Becky he got up in english class to use the bathroom and never came back. A day before graduation he dropped out? I agree season 6 was the last successful season. Great analysis ❤
Apparently, the guy who wrote the episode was hired as a staff writer in season six and had never watched the show before. He thought the idea of Jesse dropping out made sense for his character so it became an episode. I don't think Jeff Franklin was there anymore because he moved on to Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, so no one would have remembered that Jesse already graduated.
Love this so much, I can’t believe I found another viewer with 100% the same opinions as I have. Couldn’t agree more on everything you stated. I was an 80’s kid, the same age as DJ, so I watched the series in real time from the pilot to the last episode. For me, the downfall was Season 7, and 8 was just a crazy mess (fun, but a “bad” fun). I would call my then bf after an episode and critique it. My most-hated episode was the ostrich in Kimmy’s backyard. The retcons were very noticeable even then. The personality shifts with the kids were bad. DJ was just a boy crazy HS student (always bugged me the finale focused on a prom date, not graduation), Stephanie lost her sharp wit and humor to Michelle, and the Olsens couldn’t pull off the performance Jodie could at 8. And the twin boys were not a replacement for toddler Michelle. Vickie always seemed off, out of breath and flighty, like she was never meant to stick around. The best moment of the show’s end was Steve coming back, kind of bizarre since he was a side character. But his presence brought back the good vibes of Season 5-6. Love the show despite my critiques, it was fun growing up with it!
I think you forget that repeating stories is not done for the audience in this case. Just because DJ and Stephanie learned about death doesn’t mean Michelle did. She was a baby and didn’t struggle with it the same. In a way she’s never known life with Pam so her death didn’t really affect her the way it did the older girls
Watching this video really put things in perspective. I only own the first six seasons of this show. Never got around to buying the last two seasons. Now, I think I’ll keep it that way and just have the show end at season 6. Great work on the video!
Your proposed ending for Full House really captures why I adore the ending of Return of the Jedi. It's that exact same perfect ending that allows the viewer to see a satisfying conclusion but it also leaves it to the viewer's imagination to envision amazing future adventures after the credits roll. Also, I seriously respect the retcon counter as a Star Wars fan. These retcons matter when creating a believable world with believable characters. If shows and movies use cheap retcons to manufacture scenarios, it damages the choosiness of the stories and world they are trying to tell. Retcons pull viewers out of the immersion and it makes them take the world less seriously. Retcons set a precedent that anything can erased or changed and if anything can be erased or changed in the future, why bother caring about it in the present? It's a recipe for disaster when viewers realize anything they care about can just as easily be wiped away. To paraphrase the question in your video, when the audience no longer trusts anything in the show: that is when the show dies.
I've never thought about this that much but I can definitely picture a scenario where the series ends at season 6 and not be missing the last two seasons since they really were pointless in hindsight. I read somewhere that the reason season 8 ends so suddenly is because they didn't find out they got dropped until they were almost done filming the episode before. Although if 6 had been the end it still wouldn't have had true closure unless they did a montage of the wedding and Jesse and Joey getting big and maybe buying 3 houses all next to each other. Maybe I'm over thinking this.
Loved this show as a kid. Watched this and Fresh Prince, Boy Meets World and Home Improvement. I watched most as re-runs in the summer cause I was too busy with hockey during the long winter in Alaska. Me and my brother (RIP) always found time late at night eating dinner to watch that 70’s show and Simpsons at night and DBZ after school before football practice.
_The Nanny_ had a similar issue as _Full House._ Once Fran and Maxwell married, there's not really anywhere else the show can go in terms of narrative and plot. Fran's and Maxwell's relationship was the biggest source of tension in the whole series. Once that tension reached its fulfillment, it couldn't go anywhere else.
That's interesting because the ending really felt like an ending. Seing season 7 and 8, I'm glad the series stopped. It was clear the show had gone way down hill and even Steve returning would have just been rehashed storylines between him and DJ.
The biggest and most confounding retcon was in Jesse’s wedding episode where he says he’s always wanted to go skydiving, despite stating he met Adrianna by skydiving into her Alfa Romeo in the first season. After all those years, I’m sure nobody remembered that throwaway joke, but I did.
Wow...I know both of those lines and I never put them together...yeah, pretty much everything but Pam dying from season 1 is kind of non canon by season 3.
First seasons are usually non-canon is plenty of ways. The show isn't fully formed yet and also they're not sure the show will persist beyond season one at that stage.
Throwaway lines are very difficult to remember when writing a TV show. Fans tend to have way better memories because they watch episodes constantly, while the writers are usually busy with whatever episode's in front of them. It also gets more difficult to remember things when the original writers leave and new writers come in. These people could just be looking for a job and have no knowledge of the show they're writing for, which is usually the reason shows decline so much. Although, in some cases, retcons are inexcusable (Jesse dropping out of high school even though he attended his high school reunion and felt insecure about not having a college degree).
In a sitcom, these little writing continuity errors are forgivable. The high school one bordered on pretty bad because it was only a couple years before and they formed an entire episode on it.@@frostyfreezyfreeze54
The House Meets The Mouse had to happen since Disney, who owns ABC then, as well as now, requires all major series' sitcom ro have an episode visiting Disney World. Roseanne (20th century series) also started to fall from grace right about their own Disney World episode.
How weird for the Conners to go to Disney World because DJ's Great-Aunt, whom he never met, died and left him with all of her money on her will and little DJ would of course would want to spend it all at Disney World with his family lol
@@rowlaanbennett7296Boy Meets World and Step By Step had their Disney World Episodes air on the same night and actually had a mini-crossover during them.
I would argue Roseanne was starting to fall well before their Disney episode(other notable examples of Disney episodes were Boy meets World, Family Matters, and Step By Step).
Full House died when it moved from the TGIF lineup backed by other extremely popular sitcoms on friday nights to tuesdays at 8 opposite the massively popular Rescue 911 which was bringing huge ratings (8-9 shares weekly) from 1991 until 1995. Once it lost the benefit of having Perfect Strangers as a lead in and Family Matters as a followup it was in trouble, the shows they teamed it up on tuesday nights were almost always bad and didn't last, and on top of that the show was starting to show its age by then which didn't help.
I remember that but I remember it as full house being the first show on the tgif line up then family matters then perfect strangers... I dont remember perfect stranger being the first one especially since family matters is a spin-off of perfect strangers
@@Rob_Thorsman In the early years of TGIF full house ran second in the line up behind perfect strangers and ahead of mr, belvedere. That changed in 1989 when mr belvedere was moved to saturdays (the network had cancelled it and was burning off the remaining episodes) and full house was moved to be the lead in followed by perfect strangers, family matters and just the ten of us.
Remember the lyrics in the song You Oughta Know which was about Dave Coulier: It’s not fair To deny me Of the cross eyed bear That you gave to me Did he give her the Mr. Woodchuck puppet?
Kudos for such a wonderful video! I would like to point out also that Jesse had a name change from Cochran to Katsopoulis. I always found it super weird lol.
They do address it at some point in the series. Jesse says he used a fake last name because he was worried about how an “ethnic” last name like Katsopolis would affect his music career
I love full house! Unpopular opinion but I love full house much more than fuller house. I’m 13 and full house makes me feel like I’m not alone, growing up is hard and seeing the girls go through similar things that I’m going through makes me feel so safe. When I heard the rumors about Bob saget my heart shattered 😢
Great video. Great point on when the show started to decline. The Disneyland episode probably should've been a non-finale episode and shaved off and progressed to a moment of that between Vicky and Danny. The issue of course is adding another character to an already very crowded group of one. Probably why they killed off Vicky in the following season, although many adult viewers could relate to what Danny was feeling which was great by the writers on that. Putting together a sitcom is very difficult I see. I noticed it from Season 4 of Seinfeld when Jerry and George was writing their sitcom.
R.I.P Bob Saget. He was THE greatest TV dad. Sorry to say, but „Full House“ never died. It to this day still influences so many people. Thanks for the years of love to all the people involved in the show.
Exactly! Rest in piece, Bob! You will be missed and remembered as one of the greatest and quirkiest, most loving and caring father figures on American television forever!
@@fro-zone2k Yeah! Well, you gotta admit they both have their issues, though! They both are just trying to be good parental figures in their respective family's lives! They just wanna be there and help out whenever they can! And Phil may not be the best person towards Will sometimes, but he only means well for him and I think that their dynamic and relationship really makes you want to choose Uncle Phil so much, but yeah, I see why some people would want to choose Danny over Phil, he's a really good father! But I actually love them equally, I still think Phil is better, though, just because he's really funny, but yeah, both are great in their own way!
I know I'm in the minority, but I initially didn't care for Becky-something about her and Jessie felt forced instead of natural, but I got used to her... never cared for Vickie nor her lack of chemistry with Danny.
i watched full house exclusively for YEARS as a kid, and still to this day. I personally still love season 7 & 8, but i can see why people don't. I just think i loved Stephanie a lot so seeing her growing up was nice, cause i never liked DJ much so i preferred Stephanie's perspective, and i was around her age when i was watching it a lot more.
Thank you for bringing up Stephanie in Season 7! That's a part I cut from the video because it was getting too long, but I was Stephanie's age too, and I'm a dancer as well, so I identified more with her, especially in season 7, than I did with DJ.
Just because he went to a reunion doesn’t mean he didn’t drop out or leave school. For instance, I was class of 2013. In my 10th grade year I started to do a international academy opposed to public school. I would still attend my school reunions as do people who dropped out. You spent your entire childhood and teen years with these people, those last four years aren’t the substance of you being “class of __”. Even if you dropped out in 11th grade and didn’t get your GED for five years after, you should still attend reunions…
This show really was good it's ashamed that Mary Kate and Ashley had their childhood ruined after this with all those VHS videos The cast were some real good guys to the kids in the show Rest in Peace Bob Saget I wish we could get at least one show where everyone reunites before we lose them forever... MK&A didn't show up for Fuller House Luke Leia Han and Chewy got no screen time together in the new starters movies Now Peewee dying... The old saying is true You can never go home again
No one's gonna talk about how Joey was screwed. Danny became that universe's Regis, Jesse became a rock star that defied the trends of grunge and alternative and Joey after two big breaks was still an obscure comic who had no girlfriend. Oh he had muses...that lasted one episode. He didn't even get called back to be a VA for that animated show. Just make him comic relief.
Another fantastic video of yours well done Fun Fact. Great to see you upload once again. Hopefully you've been doing well. I can't wait to see what you got us covered for this year. I'm all for it. :)
Well done! You brought up some great points and I agree with them all. I did always feel that that there was something off about the last 2 seasons of Full House. Still a great show for me when I living in a full house and we would watch together. LOL!
That scene setup at 16:10 reminded me of Tim and Wilson on Home improvement. Maybe they used the same set. I remember at the height of HI's popularity Full House had a few "slapstick" scenes - Jesse selling his hairspray shield on TV, Steve accidentally activating a truck that sent a load of wet cement pouring into the Tanner kitchen . . . I think that lasted for only a few episodes, though.
I loved this show as a kid, and I would say once the twins were born it went downhill. Everyone was an exaggerated version of themselves. They also made Jessie the butt of a lot of jokes, which really weren't funny. That said, I totally watched the series run like 20 times. It's a corny show, but also a good one.
This video is fantastic! We sure miss you, man! I hope you are enjoying the new year so far! My sitcom suggestion you should post at some point in the future is That 70s Show. However, I understand Full House took a lot of time to get that video ready. Personally, I get annoyed when shows often overstayed the audience and the actors welcome which results a dramatic decline since they start to lose interest as more and more seasons progressed. Had season six of Full House ended, it would’ve been a great conclusion for sure.
@@123theprodigy5 I don't remember what season it was but the worst episode of The Cosby Show was the one where Cliff had dreamed that he and all the men were pregnant! It turned out that it was all part of Cliff's nightmare.
To be fair, Scott Weigner (Steve) left to study at Harvard thus explaining the abrupt breakup of Steve and DJ. I completely forgot how clumsy the show becomes after that lol
Am I trippin or didn’t Scott play their cousin in the first season? I always thought it was weird that they brought him back as her love interest. But maybe that’s just something I made up?
my wife and i got married last September and our wedding song was the Jesse version of "Forever" lol i loved hearing all the guests realize what song was playing as we had our first dance. best day ever.
The problem with television is that they don't want their characters to really grow and reach new heights. Take note of Sarah Hyland's character from, "Modern Family."
My wife and I like rewatching old 80’s and 90’s shows. And we have a list of what we call the mandatory episodes. -Mandatory Music Guest playing himself -Mandatory Music Guest playing a long time friend, family member or former lover. -Mandatory Marriage Fakeout -Mandatory family vacation. To Hawaii. -Mandatory family vacation to Disney World or Disney Land.
I always watched the first season over and over, since I only had that on DVD as a kid. I did have my own DVR as a kid, so I was able to catch even more of the show, but looking back, I only remember the episode from season 7 where Jesse first buys the club, and one that actually stuck with me for a while about Stephanie learning her bully classmate was being abused by his dad, and how real a bunch of the dialogue in that episode felt. I tried to watch the show again on Hulu recently, but I only had fun with season 1. I don't know if it was nostalgia or if season 1's adult humor with the guys was more appealing to me than the family friendly focus, but I couldn't get past season 3. Shame, I really want to see those episodes I mentioned before again.
😂😂😂😂 i was just a kid but that episode where jesse moved out made me cry my mom had to ask me what was wrong when i came out my room. i loved full house.
Fun Facts Films, if the show’s producers hired some new writers to have fresh ideas to help the series to continue, I think those writers should’ve binge-watched seasons 1 to 6 so they knew what they had to work with. In general, I think some shows have a hard time ending. “7th Heaven” renewed after a write-in campaign brought the show back. The executives should have continued forward with their original plan to end it after season 10. Season 11 wasn’t as good as the previous season’s. God bless the writers and actors for continuing “Mork ‘n’ Mindy” after the third season, which wasn’t as good as the first two seasons. Again, this is nothing against the actors.
It died in like season 4 when Michelle became a catchphrase mouthpiece. Flanderization sets in hard around season 4 or 5 too with Danny becomes only a clean freak, Jessie becoming Elvis 100% of the time, and Joey just doing cut it out and 3 stooges endlessly.
What most people don't know is this show was suppose to run for 10 seasons (BOB SAGET HIMSELF SAID THIS). They had the scripts and everything. They cut it short by 2 seasons after viewership started to die down in season seven and worse in 8.
@@Chaz4543 True plus John Stamous and Candace Cameron said they were done after season 8 albeit there was talk of moving the show to the WB aka CW. 📺🕵📼👍
Thanks for reminding me of the Papoulli episode. It was like one of the very very few episodes I remember because I saw it for the first time after my own Papaw's death.
I do love the show! I believe that they should've ended the series at Season 7. I would've liked to have seen them sell the house to Mr. Bond and all go their separate ways. Instead, they call off the sale because of Michelle! Or just weigh out the pros and cons of moving before making that decision on whether or not to sell the house to Mr. Bond.
I totally forgot the Lou Bond episode! My friend and I were furious when it aired; seeing that the family would defer a life-improving move to the whims of a 7-year old. It made no sense for Jesse’s family to keep living in an attic, they were comfortable in their careers, and he had growing kids living in a walk-in closet, essentially.
I completely forgot about that episode and Fuller House did something similar. They made it seem like everyone was splitting up and parting ways; only to last minute cancel and live together... It was a huge disappointment. Having like 10 people in one house... Fuller House is how I play my Sims games, but not great for shows and character growth.
One theory I developed that is probably confirmed somewhere is that Dave Coulie couldn't do ventriloquism, and that why we always get a close up of Mr Woodchuck when he talks.
I thought it got better every year & I liked the last 2 seasons the best. I loved it when Stephanie got older & was a teenager. She was my fave character.
I'm from UK, and I got to know about FH via some online friends I made. They are husband and wife who are in a DIY band called Electric Grandmother (reference to a TV). They sing songs about commercials and sitcoms, and they are wonderful sweet individuals who have a great time ❤
Full House should have ended during season 6, when the family went to DisneyWorld and Danny asked Vicky to marry him. It closes the whole “girls without a mom” storyline.
Terrific video! I'm not sure if the show ever died for me but I do know that once Michelle started to get older, she got on my nerves a little bit. And that episode with Michelle's feet is perhaps the worst episode for sure, but there are some that I like less, like the one where Joey and Danny's sister just randomly hook up and Danny is trying to tell him she's not good for him or when Joey is playing hockey and Michelle doesn't like it when Joey has to get angry. Another cool one to see if you were interested would be Step by Step.
Step by Step is great except for Season 6. Jean Luc is insufferable. And I didn’t like that they ripped off the Full House Season 7 finale in their final episode.
@@lexkanyima2195 It was basically the same plot. In both shows they found a bigger house they wanted to move to but the little girl didn’t want to move so they deliberately failed inspection. Only difference was in Step by Step it was the actual series finale. I was only referring to the Step by Step finale.
7:32 Haha wow, I forgot about the Full House attic that literally looks like a friggin 5-star hotel. For some reason that blew my mind as a kid and I had dreams about it.
Season 6 was supposed to be the end of Full House, the network pushed for two more seasons due to popularity. Then at the end of season 8 was abruptly canceled as Candous Cameroon aka DJ wanted to go to college and did not renew her contract.
❤ I had a lot of fun watching Full House from beginning to end .it was chemical and educational together .I enjoyed the girls I'm watching them grow up and learn .through the years.
Personally...I agree with you...Papouli episode was definitely a powerful episode..but as you mentioned...it was not enough to redeem the not so great decisions made by the creators and writers. The Papouli episode was definitely more relatable than most of the shows episodes. For once everything did not end with sunshine and rainbows 🌈 like most episodes did. You know? Don't get me wrong... Full House was a great show... I totally understand that they were going for that happy family sitcom thing that was popular at the time.
OK I grew up watching full house even though I’m 15 my dad was never really around. I learned everything I knew and all my advice I give my friends from Danny Tanner I’m new to your channel but you game to subscriber. I eat up full house contact like crazy.
I actually enjoyed season 7 and 8 a lot, although i do agree some parts were super cheesy like michelle feet and the ostrich. But a lot of my memories of watching the show were from these seasons like Papouli dying, Gia getting in a car accident, the kitchen getting filled with cement was one of the most hilarious moments to me, the hairspray gaurd infomercial, when michelle and jesse get locked in the christmas store, when DJ puts her principals car on the roof...and personally I loved Nelson. I know DJ didnt have feelings for him like she did Steve but he was so sweet to her, never hurt her like Viper did, and all around adored her. I really loved his character.
Jeff Franklin has stated that he never would have broken Vicky and Danny up. Probably not DJ and Steve either. Also you didn’t even mention when Lou Bond wanted to buy the house and suddenly there was only one bathroom in the Season 7 finale.
Full house never had any bad years. My only complaint was the series finale being Michelle losing her memory. It didn’t feel like a series finale because it was only really about Michelle. I’m glad fuller house had a better ending.
I never understood why they felt the need to give Jesse a new band in the last season. By that point in the show he had his radio show and was owner of the smash club so it just made sense he moved past wanting to be a rockstar. I honestly think the writers even realized this because in the finale episode Becky calls out Jesse when Joey and him are trying to create a tv pilot for already having several occupations at the same time
I only ever watched the show in re-runs on nick at nite (I was born in 2000) but from how they aired it I always thought the Disney proposal *WAS* the finale episode. to my knowledge I’ve never seen a single episode from season 7 or 8.
I personally thought the show died as soon as Becky moved in and Danny started dating Vicki. But I was one of those nerdy girls devoted to watching TGIF every week... Once the twins came I was like here we go - they're cousin olivering Michelle's Cindy Brady. (Or to put it in more modern terms as of 1993- they brought in raven Simone to be the new cute kid instead of Rudy Huxtable in the Cosby show.)
"Hey lets go live in the attic because we cant move out because the kid is sad." How dumb and stupid is that ? I know its tv and not real but when that happened I was like, come on really?
"Viper" actor David Lipper did a fun pandemic rom-com with Jodie Sweetin called "Just Swipe" and is still acting and producing indie flicks today! Good guy...have chatted with him a few times.
Interesting perspective! I've always thought the show had a healthy 8 season run and never jumped the shark. Maybe Season 8, but Season 7 had several great episodes: The Apartment, Fast Friends, Smash Club, The Perfect Couple, Is it True About Stephanie?, The Test, A House Divided and of course "The Last Dance" Then again, I have loved this show since I first watched it as a kid, I was only in 2nd & 3rd grades when the last 2 seasons aired and positive childhood experiences such as watching Full House in 1993 will stay with you forever! Thanks for the video :)
I do wish something was said about the final 2 episodes. Those were some pretty bad episodes to end the series on, and it makes the show feel really incomplete.
Yes I grow up watching full house newer fuller house same actors and actresses Bob Saget useful emotional America funniest home videos I felt comfortable it’s home. For me I love all episodes of Full House. In real life I did have conversation with Danny tanner.
Something to keep in mind about certain characters and weird writing it's possible they had to leave the show. I know in the case of the actor who played Steve he went to go do the voice of Aladdin which was a huge opportunity so he couldn't be on the show
I think once she got episodes revolving around her as the main character in the later seasons you knew it was over and the show was running on fumes. I didnt care for the Michelle centric episodes at all. Remember the Rigby the Rhino one ? Yeah that sucked. Then the ending of the show is revolving all around her falling off a horse. Yeah probably a good time to just end it. If the show went on for 2 more years I wouldnt be able to take 2 more seasons of Michelle focused episodes where shes doing the same thing her sisters did like kissing boys and becoming a teenager. No thanks.
@@Mrd9960 Michelle centric episodes where the main story revolved around her sucked. I couldnt take 2 more seasons of that. She was never meant to be the main character and she never was until later on.

I’m a 2000s kid who watched Full House a lot on ABC Family and Nick At Nite. That means that I’ve never seen the show in order so thank you for the season-by-season synopsis. I remember a lot of these episodes. I remember the Disney World episodes too but Vicky was somehow erased from my memory. Also, RIP Bob Saget
follow for more facts
Same, I discovered the show late at night on Nickelodeon
Same! Its how i first watched the show growing up! A whole generation watched those reruns together which is cool to see:)
That's funny it was on Nick at Nite. That block to me was Mr. Ed and The Monkees and whatnot.
I would watch it every day after school on tbs
I always felt like the series finale should’ve been about Danny and Vicky getting married. The show started with him being a single dad so it would’ve been nice to end it on the note he’s married again. I also just always hated the series finale being centered around Michelle, the last few seasons especially focused on her so much to the point I feel like it dragged down the other characters. I get the Olsen twins were marketable but it basically became the Michelle show at one point. A series finale about Danny and Vicky being married also would’ve been a nice way to bring the family together before it ended
Like Michelle said in the show, it became the Michelle show, but I feel like Michelle becomes the worst character ever
@@blddemn6645 just like Steve urkel
It also would have been more "final." Because I watched it in syndication I never knew the finale was the finale because it seemed like "just another 2 part episode" (I recall them not being so rare that this 2 part episode had to be the finale). For the most part the episode just ends on the status quo and could be inserted anywhere in the season, Steve came back but it just seemed like a guest appearance and not "a grand reunion for one last hurrah" like other series that write out a character.
@@d.52555 I'm honestly of the opinion Steve was only annoying in Seasons 5-6. That's when Family Matters really sunk into "After School Special" territory.
But Season 7 came and to me at least, the show got fun again. And since everyone was a bit older, they were able to focus on more interesting storylines. Watching Steve eventually ditch the suspenders and cultivate a more sensible look, and even becoming more dexterous and (a little) less clumsy by learning Hibachi was pretty satisfying to watch develop.
I really wish the show had gotten one last season where we would've seen Laura and Steve not only tie the knot, but see more of Eddie develop his career as a police officer. There could've been a redemption arc for Myra since Season 9 pretty much turned her into a bit of an obsessive villain... but that unfortunately could never happen given Michelle's unfortunate passing.
No, it was the Jesse and Becky show, it revolved all around Jesse and Beckys relationship all lot and it was also all lot about Dj and Stephanie, while Danny, Joey & Michelle AND Comet barely get anything.
Finding out Bob Saget was this raunchy foul mouthed comedian in real life stunned me back in the day because I only knew him from Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos.
hes a creep
Jon Bourgain, several years ago, I read that people had to remind Bob Saget that the kids were within earshot and to cool it.
YES DUDE
he was a pervert.
It's still weird to me to know that about him. I'm so used to him as Danny Tanner.
Crazy how the entire show really just revolves around Jesse
good looking funny musician.
ofc
Then Michelle and Jesse
John Stamos was the strongest cast member by far. Sexy, funny, charismatic, musically talented. Anal Danny and cartoon voices Joey were one note jokes after a few seasons.
It really revolved around Michelle.
@@RichV20well it’s because Bob and Dave were comedians that did not so family friendly stand up.
I find it hillarious that seasons 7 and 8 saw everyone grew their mullets grow again. DJ is pretty much the only one with a very 90s haircut (though it did age well) while the other girls just have super normal hairstyles.

Actually, the first retcon for Jesse happened in Season 2. In Season 1, Jesse's last name was Cochran. In Season 2 onward, it was Katsopolis.
I believe John himself insisted that his character have a Greek last name, as he’s very proud of his Greek heritage.
@@sasquatchhunter86 And? Doesn't change the fact that the retconned his name.
I thought that Cochran was his stage name
@@RoyalBlue4486 I don't think so. After reading a bit it seems that the last name for Stamos character's last name was in fact Cochran (originally his character was going to be called Adam Cochran) but he didn't like the name Adam for the character. So it was Jessie Chocran for the entirety of the first season, Katsoplis from Season 2 onwards because he wanted to incorporate his real life Greek heritage into the character.
Honestly I like that they changed his last name from Irish to a Greek last name, that makes sence at least.
I always thought of ‘Jesse’ as the guy you have fun with and I thought of ‘Joey’ as the guy you marry. I thought of ‘Danny’ as being the one I could go to for answers about Jesse and Joey. R.I.P., Bob Saget.

I think joey is so unattractive.
There was another Jesse retcon as well, originally his last name was Cochran but was changed to Katsopolis to sound more greek.
Yep and another fun fact: Jesse’s name was actually “Adam.” That’s what the creator (Jeff Franklin) originally named the character, but John Stamos didn’t like that name and told Franklin he wanted to change the character’s name to Jesse.
At the time it was common for season finales to also be written as potential series finales; often the shows didn't know if they were getting picked up for another season. It wouldn't be surprising if season 6 was written the way it was because it was potentially going to be the actual end.
RIP Bob Saget. He really was Americas Dad. Will always love Full House.

He was a pedophile
I love in his last comedy special he says “I’m the last TV dad you can trust. So if you’re gonna buy drugs buy them from me” 😂😂😂😂
IDK if it's just me? But I hate Season 8's ending. I don't like that Michelle's amnesia plot being the main focus with DJ's prom plot taking the back seat IMO.
A confusing ending
Same but in all fairness, the showrunners wrote it as a season finale and thought they were getting a season 9.
@@BishopWalters12 but how will the storyline even works
Michelle's amnesia episodes never felt like a series finale to me. Perhaps that's because they weren't necessarily intended to be series finale as they might not have known if they were being cancelled or not?
Anyway, like the author of this video, I think the season 6 finale felt like more of a series finale and then the episodes where the rich guy wants to buy the Tanner's house and everyone is thinking of moving out felt more like a series finale than the episodes that actually were the series finale. I hope that makes sense!
Loved this video. I always said the same thing with Jesse. It was so weird with the retcon with his high school reunion. In his flash back he says "we graduate tomorrow..." and then he says to Becky he got up in english class to use the bathroom and never came back. A day before graduation he dropped out?
I agree season 6 was the last successful season. Great analysis ❤
follow for more facts
Apparently, the guy who wrote the episode was hired as a staff writer in season six and had never watched the show before. He thought the idea of Jesse dropping out made sense for his character so it became an episode. I don't think Jeff Franklin was there anymore because he moved on to Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, so no one would have remembered that Jesse already graduated.
Love this so much, I can’t believe I found another viewer with 100% the same opinions as I have. Couldn’t agree more on everything you stated. I was an 80’s kid, the same age as DJ, so I watched the series in real time from the pilot to the last episode.
For me, the downfall was Season 7, and 8 was just a crazy mess (fun, but a “bad” fun). I would call my then bf after an episode and critique it. My most-hated episode was the ostrich in Kimmy’s backyard. The retcons were very noticeable even then. The personality shifts with the kids were bad. DJ was just a boy crazy HS student (always bugged me the finale focused on a prom date, not graduation), Stephanie lost her sharp wit and humor to Michelle, and the Olsens couldn’t pull off the performance Jodie could at 8. And the twin boys were not a replacement for toddler Michelle. Vickie always seemed off, out of breath and flighty, like she was never meant to stick around. The best moment of the show’s end was Steve coming back, kind of bizarre since he was a side character. But his presence brought back the good vibes of Season 5-6.
Love the show despite my critiques, it was fun growing up with it!
I think you forget that repeating stories is not done for the audience in this case. Just because DJ and Stephanie learned about death doesn’t mean Michelle did. She was a baby and didn’t struggle with it the same. In a way she’s never known life with Pam so her death didn’t really affect her the way it did the older girls
seriopusly and show was based around how life works
There was actually a 4th retcon regarding Jesse: his last name was changed between seasons 1 and 2
I never realized Becky was brought on so early on in the series. I thought Jesse got at least 3 seasons before being locked down.
Sameee
he literally had different girlfriend in every single epizsode before becky
I think they should have waited longer before they got together I liked it more when he was single, his character got more boring.
Watching this video really put things in perspective. I only own the first six seasons of this show. Never got around to buying the last two seasons. Now, I think I’ll keep it that way and just have the show end at season 6.
Great work on the video!
I only have the first six also, but I do want to get the remaining two.

I literally have no clue how the TH-cam algorithm suggested this channel, but I CANNOT stop watching.
Your proposed ending for Full House really captures why I adore the ending of Return of the Jedi. It's that exact same perfect ending that allows the viewer to see a satisfying conclusion but it also leaves it to the viewer's imagination to envision amazing future adventures after the credits roll.
Also, I seriously respect the retcon counter as a Star Wars fan. These retcons matter when creating a believable world with believable characters. If shows and movies use cheap retcons to manufacture scenarios, it damages the choosiness of the stories and world they are trying to tell. Retcons pull viewers out of the immersion and it makes them take the world less seriously. Retcons set a precedent that anything can erased or changed and if anything can be erased or changed in the future, why bother caring about it in the present? It's a recipe for disaster when viewers realize anything they care about can just as easily be wiped away. To paraphrase the question in your video, when the audience no longer trusts anything in the show: that is when the show dies.
Yeah you ain't making sense here
First person I have heard liking the ending of Return of the Jedi.
I've never thought about this that much but I can definitely picture a scenario where the series ends at season 6 and not be missing the last two seasons since they really were pointless in hindsight. I read somewhere that the reason season 8 ends so suddenly is because they didn't find out they got dropped until they were almost done filming the episode before. Although if 6 had been the end it still wouldn't have had true closure unless they did a montage of the wedding and Jesse and Joey getting big and maybe buying 3 houses all next to each other. Maybe I'm over thinking this.

You’re correct. They were notified by the network at the last minute. The cast discussed this in a “E True Hollywood Story” episode back in the 90’s.
Loved this show as a kid. Watched this and Fresh Prince, Boy Meets World and Home Improvement. I watched most as re-runs in the summer cause I was too busy with hockey during the long winter in Alaska.
Me and my brother (RIP) always found time late at night eating dinner to watch that 70’s show and Simpsons at night and DBZ after school before football practice.
That's a 90s kid right there. RIP to your brother, those are some core memories you'll hold forever my dude
_The Nanny_ had a similar issue as _Full House._ Once Fran and Maxwell married, there's not really anywhere else the show can go in terms of narrative and plot. Fran's and Maxwell's relationship was the biggest source of tension in the whole series. Once that tension reached its fulfillment, it couldn't go anywhere else.
That show was absurd and I had stopped many seasons prior.
The Nanny was such a dirty show.
@@guineapiglady2841 I remember i only watched it for the Butler, and his comments.
From a storytelling standpoint, Season 6 served it's purpose but it leaves a lot to be desired.
Yeah exactly . I feel once Fran and Sheffield got married, Niles and C.C. carried the show (as best as they could)
When the 8th season finale was taped, the cast didn't know that ABC was going to cancel show as they had not been told yet
Which is why they left it on a cliff hanger.
That's interesting because the ending really felt like an ending. Seing season 7 and 8, I'm glad the series stopped. It was clear the show had gone way down hill and even Steve returning would have just been rehashed storylines between him and DJ.
By the end of season 8 it had ran it course
well the whole show was about what happens in real life just a little bit twisted @@mattm7798
The biggest and most confounding retcon was in Jesse’s wedding episode where he says he’s always wanted to go skydiving, despite stating he met Adrianna by skydiving into her Alfa Romeo in the first season. After all those years, I’m sure nobody remembered that throwaway joke, but I did.
Wow...I know both of those lines and I never put them together...yeah, pretty much everything but Pam dying from season 1 is kind of non canon by season 3.
First seasons are usually non-canon is plenty of ways. The show isn't fully formed yet and also they're not sure the show will persist beyond season one at that stage.
Throwaway lines are very difficult to remember when writing a TV show. Fans tend to have way better memories because they watch episodes constantly, while the writers are usually busy with whatever episode's in front of them. It also gets more difficult to remember things when the original writers leave and new writers come in. These people could just be looking for a job and have no knowledge of the show they're writing for, which is usually the reason shows decline so much.
Although, in some cases, retcons are inexcusable (Jesse dropping out of high school even though he attended his high school reunion and felt insecure about not having a college degree).
@@frostyfreezyfreeze54 Yeah, those are the story points that the writing team needs to know, as they are apart of a main character's arc.
In a sitcom, these little writing continuity errors are forgivable. The high school one bordered on pretty bad because it was only a couple years before and they formed an entire episode on it.@@frostyfreezyfreeze54

The House Meets The Mouse had to happen since Disney, who owns ABC then, as well as now, requires all major series' sitcom ro have an episode visiting Disney World. Roseanne (20th century series) also started to fall from grace right about their own Disney World episode.
How weird for the Conners to go to Disney World because DJ's Great-Aunt, whom he never met, died and left him with all of her money on her will and little DJ would of course would want to spend it all at Disney World with his family lol
Yeah family matters did it as well when Steve built that teleporting machine and sent the whole family there
@@rowlaanbennett7296Boy Meets World and Step By Step had their Disney World Episodes air on the same night and actually had a mini-crossover during them.
I would argue Roseanne was starting to fall well before their Disney episode(other notable examples of Disney episodes were Boy meets World, Family Matters, and Step By Step).
Roseanne's Disney episode happened in the final season of the show, after they won the lottery. the show was already doing down before that.
It is sad about Bob even though it has been a year...may he rest in peace.
Full House died when it moved from the TGIF lineup backed by other extremely popular sitcoms on friday nights to tuesdays at 8 opposite the massively popular Rescue 911 which was bringing huge ratings (8-9 shares weekly) from 1991 until 1995.
Once it lost the benefit of having Perfect Strangers as a lead in and Family Matters as a followup it was in trouble, the shows they teamed it up on tuesday nights were almost always bad and didn't last, and on top of that the show was starting to show its age by then which didn't help.
I remember that but I remember it as full house being the first show on the tgif line up then family matters then perfect strangers... I dont remember perfect stranger being the first one especially since family matters is a spin-off of perfect strangers
Full House had a lead-in? I thought it was Full House at 8 and Family Matters at 8:30.
@@Rob_Thorsman
In the early years of TGIF full house ran second in the line up behind perfect strangers and ahead of mr, belvedere.
That changed in 1989 when mr belvedere was moved to saturdays (the network had cancelled it and was burning off the remaining episodes) and full house was moved to be the lead in followed by perfect strangers, family matters and just the ten of us.
Full House 8:00
Family matters 8:30
Perfect strangers 9:00
Just the 10 of us 10:00.

Kudos for such a wonderful video! I would like to point out also that Jesse had a name change from Cochran to Katsopoulis. I always found it super weird lol.
I think John Stamos wanted the surname change so his Greek heritage would be honoured
@@nyasha._ Yes he did!
They do address it at some point in the series. Jesse says he used a fake last name because he was worried about how an “ethnic” last name like Katsopolis would affect his music career
I don't find it weird that they changed his last name to a Greek last name instead, though should maybe had it from the beginning instead.

Great video. Great point on when the show started to decline. The Disneyland episode probably should've been a non-finale episode and shaved off and progressed to a moment of that between Vicky and Danny. The issue of course is adding another character to an already very crowded group of one. Probably why they killed off Vicky in the following season, although many adult viewers could relate to what Danny was feeling which was great by the writers on that. Putting together a sitcom is very difficult I see. I noticed it from Season 4 of Seinfeld when Jerry and George was writing their sitcom.
They didn’t kill Vicky off.

But I actually love them equally, I still think Phil is better, though, just because he's really funny, but yeah, both are great in their own way!
I know I'm in the minority, but I initially didn't care for Becky-something about her and Jessie felt forced instead of natural, but I got used to her... never cared for Vickie nor her lack of chemistry with Danny.
Girl you trippin.. Jesse and Becky was right for each other.. I do agree with you on Danny and Vicky though.. Vicky felt out of place at times..
i watched full house exclusively for YEARS as a kid, and still to this day. I personally still love season 7 & 8, but i can see why people don't. I just think i loved Stephanie a lot so seeing her growing up was nice, cause i never liked DJ much so i preferred Stephanie's perspective, and i was around her age when i was watching it a lot more.
Thank you for bringing up Stephanie in Season 7! That's a part I cut from the video because it was getting too long, but I was Stephanie's age too, and I'm a dancer as well, so I identified more with her, especially in season 7, than I did with DJ.
I used to a have crush on Stephanie, especially in seasons 7 and 8, she was such a cute girl!

Yes, it was my favorite show as a kid. Fuller House is entertaining but it pales in comparison to the original show
The Loud House (2016) is also good as does Clarissa Explains It All (1991), Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996) and Lizzie McGuire (2001)
Just because he went to a reunion doesn’t mean he didn’t drop out or leave school. For instance, I was class of 2013. In my 10th grade year I started to do a international academy opposed to public school. I would still attend my school reunions as do people who dropped out. You spent your entire childhood and teen years with these people, those last four years aren’t the substance of you being “class of __”. Even if you dropped out in 11th grade and didn’t get your GED for five years after, you should still attend reunions…
This show really was good it's ashamed that Mary Kate and Ashley had their childhood ruined after this with all those VHS videos

That scene setup at 16:10 reminded me of Tim and Wilson on Home improvement. Maybe they used the same set.

I think that lasted for only a few episodes, though.
I loved this show as a kid, and I would say once the twins were born it went downhill. Everyone was an exaggerated version of themselves.

The Season 7 finale also really felt like a series finale (I'm guessing they thought it might be when they made it).
I always watched the first season over and over, since I only had that on DVD as a kid. I did have my own DVR as a kid, so I was able to catch even more of the show, but looking back, I only remember the episode from season 7 where Jesse first buys the club, and one that actually stuck with me for a while about Stephanie learning her bully classmate was being abused by his dad, and how real a bunch of the dialogue in that episode felt.
I tried to watch the show again on Hulu recently, but I only had fun with season 1. I don't know if it was nostalgia or if season 1's adult humor with the guys was more appealing to me than the family friendly focus, but I couldn't get past season 3. Shame, I really want to see those episodes I mentioned before again.
Still can't believe they did a clip show for the final episode.

Fun Facts Films, if the show’s producers hired some new writers to have fresh ideas to help the series to continue, I think those writers should’ve binge-watched seasons 1 to 6 so they knew what they had to work with. In general, I think some shows have a hard time ending. “7th Heaven” renewed after a write-in campaign brought the show back. The executives should have continued forward with their original plan to end it after season 10. Season 11 wasn’t as good as the previous season’s. God bless the writers and actors for continuing “Mork ‘n’ Mindy” after the third season, which wasn’t as good as the first two seasons. Again, this is nothing against the actors.

Thanks for reminding me of the Papoulli episode. It was like one of the very very few episodes I remember because I saw it for the first time after my own Papaw's death.
I do love the show! I believe that they should've ended the series at Season 7. I would've liked to have seen them sell the house to Mr. Bond and all go their separate ways. Instead, they call off the sale because of Michelle! Or just weigh out the pros and cons of moving before making that decision on whether or not to sell the house to Mr. Bond.
I totally forgot the Lou Bond episode! My friend and I were furious when it aired; seeing that the family would defer a life-improving move to the whims of a 7-year old. It made no sense for Jesse’s family to keep living in an attic, they were comfortable in their careers, and he had growing kids living in a walk-in closet, essentially.
I completely forgot about that episode and Fuller House did something similar. They made it seem like everyone was splitting up and parting ways; only to last minute cancel and live together... It was a huge disappointment. Having like 10 people in one house... Fuller House is how I play my Sims games, but not great for shows and character growth.

One theory I developed that is probably confirmed somewhere is that Dave Coulie couldn't do ventriloquism, and that why we always get a close up of Mr Woodchuck when he talks.
I thought it got better every year & I liked the last 2 seasons the best. I loved it when Stephanie got older & was a teenager. She was my fave character.

Full House should have ended during season 6, when the family went to DisneyWorld and Danny asked Vicky to marry him. It closes the whole “girls without a mom” storyline.
Terrific video! I'm not sure if the show ever died for me but I do know that once Michelle started to get older, she got on my nerves a little bit. And that episode with Michelle's feet is perhaps the worst episode for sure, but there are some that I like less, like the one where Joey and Danny's sister just randomly hook up and Danny is trying to tell him she's not good for him or when Joey is playing hockey and Michelle doesn't like it when Joey has to get angry. Another cool one to see if you were interested would be Step by Step.

@@FunFactFilms Oh, great! I look forward to it, and anything else.
Step by Step is great except for Season 6. Jean Luc is insufferable. And I didn’t like that they ripped off the Full House Season 7 finale in their final episode.
@@nelroy78 rip off ? Step By Step was more edgy and it felt confused how they end the show, same as Family Matters
@@lexkanyima2195 It was basically the same plot. In both shows they found a bigger house they wanted to move to but the little girl didn’t want to move so they deliberately failed inspection. Only difference was in Step by Step it was the actual series finale. I was only referring to the Step by Step finale.
I absolutely HATED when they broke up Danny and Vicky.
Ya totally lame.
It felt out of proportion
7:32 Haha wow, I forgot about the Full House attic that literally looks like a friggin 5-star hotel. For some reason that blew my mind as a kid and I had dreams about it.
Season 6 was supposed to be the end of Full House, the network pushed for two more seasons due to popularity.
Then at the end of season 8 was abruptly canceled as Candous Cameroon aka DJ wanted to go to college and did not renew her contract.
DJ could have been a recurring character.. They could have easily worked that out..
@@kenrickkahn Ditto for John Stamous he said he was done too! Albeit there was talk of moving the show to the WB aka CW. 🤔📺📼🙋♂
❤ I had a lot of fun watching Full House from beginning to end .it was chemical and educational together .I enjoyed the girls I'm watching them grow up and learn .through the years.

Personally...I agree with you...Papouli episode was definitely a powerful episode..but as you mentioned...it was not enough to redeem the not so great decisions made by the creators and writers.
The Papouli episode was definitely more relatable than most of the shows episodes. For once everything did not end with sunshine and rainbows 🌈 like most episodes did. You know?
Don't get me wrong... Full House was a great show... I totally understand that they were going for that happy family sitcom thing that was popular at the time.
But it run it course
Don’t forget Jessie most famous Redcon he had to switch last names after the first season from Cochran to Cassopolis
OK I grew up watching full house even though I’m 15 my dad was never really around. I learned everything I knew and all my advice I give my friends from Danny Tanner I’m new to your channel but you game to subscriber. I eat up full house contact like crazy.
I actually enjoyed season 7 and 8 a lot, although i do agree some parts were super cheesy like michelle feet and the ostrich. But a lot of my memories of watching the show were from these seasons like Papouli dying, Gia getting in a car accident, the kitchen getting filled with cement was one of the most hilarious moments to me, the hairspray gaurd infomercial, when michelle and jesse get locked in the christmas store, when DJ puts her principals car on the roof...and personally I loved Nelson. I know DJ didnt have feelings for him like she did Steve but he was so sweet to her, never hurt her like Viper did, and all around adored her. I really loved his character.
Jeff Franklin has stated that he never would have broken Vicky and Danny up. Probably not DJ and Steve either. Also you didn’t even mention when Lou Bond wanted to buy the house and suddenly there was only one bathroom in the Season 7 finale.
So why he left at the beginning of season 6 ?
@@lexkanyima2195 I don’t remember
@@lexkanyima2195 He left to run the show "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper"
@@righteatsrightpolitics1323 it felt rushed
Full house never had any bad years. My only complaint was the series finale being Michelle losing her memory. It didn’t feel like a series finale because it was only really about Michelle. I’m glad fuller house had a better ending.
"Our Very First Telethon" is one of the GOATs
I never understood why they felt the need to give Jesse a new band in the last season. By that point in the show he had his radio show and was owner of the smash club so it just made sense he moved past wanting to be a rockstar. I honestly think the writers even realized this because in the finale episode Becky calls out Jesse when Joey and him are trying to create a tv pilot for already having several occupations at the same time
he still wanted to be a rockstar but he wanted to earn money for his kids and wife band was his passion while having his own radio show and smash club
When a tv show has twins on the show, do they need to find quadruplets?🤔
Apparently not, since Nicky and Alex were played by twins.
No, there werent 2 other babies playing the boys
Hoping to see a saved by the bell one soon 🤞🏽
And one for Step By Step!
Thanks such a great review of Full House, totally agree the last two season went very downhill should of ended at Season 6.
I only ever watched the show in re-runs on nick at nite (I was born in 2000) but from how they aired it I always thought the Disney proposal *WAS* the finale episode. to my knowledge I’ve never seen a single episode from season 7 or 8.
I wish you would do more of these. So many sitcoms out there to explore.
Thanks for the encouragement!
I personally thought the show died as soon as Becky moved in and Danny started dating Vicki. But I was one of those nerdy girls devoted to watching TGIF every week... Once the twins came I was like here we go - they're cousin olivering Michelle's Cindy Brady. (Or to put it in more modern terms as of 1993- they brought in raven Simone to be the new cute kid instead of Rudy Huxtable in the Cosby show.)
"Hey lets go live in the attic because we cant move out because the kid is sad." How dumb and stupid is that ? I know its tv and not real but when that happened I was like, come on really?
@@Chaz4543for real tho. I just watched the Disney episodes too and it's totally just a giant commercial for Disney's Aladdin.
I think it died middle of season 7; too me[no offense Full House fans] it REALLY died when Michelle became a HUGE JERK!!!
"Viper" actor David Lipper did a fun pandemic rom-com with Jodie Sweetin called "Just Swipe" and is still acting and producing indie flicks today! Good guy...have chatted with him a few times.
finally you made a full house video
Interesting perspective! I've always thought the show had a healthy 8 season run and never jumped the shark. Maybe Season 8, but Season 7 had several great episodes: The Apartment, Fast Friends, Smash Club, The Perfect Couple, Is it True About Stephanie?, The Test, A House Divided and of course "The Last Dance" Then again, I have loved this show since I first watched it as a kid, I was only in 2nd & 3rd grades when the last 2 seasons aired and positive childhood experiences such as watching Full House in 1993 will stay with you forever! Thanks for the video :)
I do wish something was said about the final 2 episodes. Those were some pretty bad episodes to end the series on, and it makes the show feel really incomplete.
Epic review
Yes I grow up watching full house newer fuller house same actors and actresses Bob Saget useful emotional America funniest home videos I felt comfortable it’s home. For me I love all episodes of Full House. In real life I did have conversation with Danny tanner.
Something to keep in mind about certain characters and weird writing it's possible they had to leave the show. I know in the case of the actor who played Steve he went to go do the voice of Aladdin which was a huge opportunity so he couldn't be on the show
Honestly, the show got worse for me as Michelle grew past five. She lost her charm and her character became a brat.
I never thought of that. She was really adorable when she was young.
I think once she got episodes revolving around her as the main character in the later seasons you knew it was over and the show was running on fumes. I didnt care for the Michelle centric episodes at all. Remember the Rigby the Rhino one ? Yeah that sucked. Then the ending of the show is revolving all around her falling off a horse. Yeah probably a good time to just end it. If the show went on for 2 more years I wouldnt be able to take 2 more seasons of Michelle focused episodes where shes doing the same thing her sisters did like kissing boys and becoming a teenager. No thanks.
I love Full House
Season 6 was the time to wrap it up and call it a day.
Why's that? I always felt the storylines were still very good and entertaining.
Personally I think if they wanted to go far they should of went to season 10 and tied up everything with everyone moving on..
@@Mrd9960 Michelle centric episodes where the main story revolved around her sucked. I couldnt take 2 more seasons of that. She was never meant to be the main character and she never was until later on.
Hey Rustin we missed you man ❤
