Other Thoughts:

What were they thinking by trying to subject a whole new generation to Patrick Duffy and John Stamos?
In the beginning, when you realize the best actors in the show are infant twins
Should have been buried in the back yard on the day the first sad joke was cracked.
The second their little "Cutie" the Olsen twins, AKA Michelle, wasn't 2 years old anymore and couldn't pretend to be was when the show sucked. Even though throughout the whole time the show was really lame.
When they realized they couldn't just keep the one "good acting" Olsen twin. You had to go for both. And on top of that, you had to do that horrible "Everyone has a twin cousin from Greece" thing. What the heck were you thinking?
This was the most annoying show of all time, until Friends came on. The only good thing about it was having the oldest daughter from "Gimme a Break" make a guest appearance; now THAT was good TV.
"Hey! It's like My Two Dads meets the Facts of Life! With THREE dads!" What were they thinking? I would have said Puberty, but this one actually got a little better as the two older girls grew up. Almost became worth not changing the channel when I'd accidently find myself watching it. The twins though... *shudder*
It definitly jumped when you realized that everyone in their family has these great jobs. Thier dad and aunt had their own TV show, their uncles had a radio show, a children's show, and a dance club all at once. How much higher can they jump? That show was stupid when it started, but at least it had some dignity. After that, it had nothing.
"Full House" should have been flushed before it got on the schedule.
This show was the gayest show ever made.
When you realize what an improbable premise this show has if 3 guys live together in San Francisco and raise children and they are STRAIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Think about it for a minute.
OK it's too easy to criticize this show. But let's confess that pre-pubescent girls get treated like sh*t by television, and this is no exception. Even if it were not for the fact that every episode ended with one of those repulsive (and ever-growing) clan of kids hugging a parent and saying how they loved, blah blah, blah it would still be inexcusable. But let's talk about the Olson twins...from their earliest ages they looked like old women. It's true! And what about the 'Smash Club' or the episode where Stacey Q (past her 2 of hearts prime) had an autograph signing session. Oh watching it was slow painful, merciless, and tragically unfunny - to think so many heads could produce such crap. Did u know that Alanis Morisette dated the guy who played Joey?
When they brought in those twins and like 30 people lived in that one house. Was a good show up until the birth of the twins. and was good after even but only like once every 20 episodes. Where there even 20 afterwards?
Everyone knows this show sucked nutz from the get go. can you imagine how many perverts want to see the olsen twins naked. i know they will take their clothes off for america. people wanted to see them grow up and they are just dying for them to strip. i'd bet my life on it.
Full House is to me the worst show on tv. The goody two shoed Tanner family makes me sick to my stomach. The worst part was that Michelle was still played by those two bratty witches the Olsen twins even after they turned like 5. I could tell them apart!
The show was always a failure.Sure i watched it, but only 'cause of the two older girls. As soon as Michelle grew up she turned in to an obnoxious little COW!And what about the awful father-daughter speaches. Talk about vommit. The worst show ever in history!!!!!!!! It sux.
As soon as Ross appeared on the screen.
Boy would I like to bash Bob Saget over the head with a lead pipe. He's more annoying than anybody who's not on Friends, and that's one of the reasons Full House is C.R.A.P.
When that girl played by twins wasn't pulling off the cute lines they replaced her with twins that WERE twins and were just as awful, or perhaps it was when that Jesse guy married that...... chick, and moved in upstairs. Also puberty, the two older girls stopped being cute and people discovered they couldn't act.
When the middle sister started dating. It really freaked me out. And when uncle Jesse that that chick got married and had babies and they still lived in that damn house in the attic. Of course that show was never any good to begin with. I can't beleive it was on as long as it was.
They should have killed off that little bitch Michelle, she was so annoying. Or they should of at least fired one of the twins and had one actress play one character. Thank god that show is gone!!
Definitely no appeal IMHO for anyone over the age of 10... or an IQ over 10... whichever.
Man, this show was the bomb.....NOT!! Gawd damn awful!! Is there anyone more annoying than Bob "geeky" Saget or the way overrated Olsen twins?! How this show lasted that long is beyond me....guess some people were just too lazy to change the channel. One other reason I hated it was that my parents loved it....'nuff said!
All of the puberties. I mean, this show came perilously close to biting to begin with. But when first D.J., then Stephanie, turned into these annoying little mallrats, the show cleared the shark easily. Anything after that is just further air between the House and the shark... and that's a lot of air.
Full house didn't ACTUALLY get a chance ot jump the shark
It scared the shark off and all sane people on the very first day. First of all.....
1) NOT ONE OF THEM could act
2) too many of the stories were involving dress ups
3) I HATE ( and hopfully the rest of the world does too ) MARY KATE & ASHLEY OLSEN
4) they get into major trouble but always are fulley forgived by the half hours ending
5) They get laughed at for things the most patient paren would have smacked thier asses
6) They all have great jobs
7) they ALL look gay , act gay , but none of them are
8) the writers probably wrote leave it to beaver too
9) did i mention the dog had more acting talent then the people ?!
Uncle Jessie sings the "Three's Company" theme song to a burro all night long.
Easily one of the worst shows ever made. We need 2 less Olsen twins on TV.
Based on the formula of: Crappy writing times disgustingly "cute" kids times longevity, this is, by far, the worst show EVER vomited upon the television screen. However, watch out Full House, Veronica's Closet is hot on your tail! 2 or 3 more seasons of that drivel and you may be wrested of your title!
I have always, always hated this annoying feel good, TGIF piece of ****. It jumped because ABC did not cancel it ten minutes after the first show premiered. Who thought any of these people are cute or had talent? The Olsen Twins look like they should be in "Childern Of The Damned". Thank God their new show already got the axe. I was affraid I would be subjected to a show where one of them begins to realize they're not a little girl anymore! Please God, no more shows with any of these talentless hacks again!
This show jumped when The Beach Boys (with Brian Wilson, yet) guest star, you kinda wonder what Brian's mind was at that time.
When Stephanie got too old to utter How Rude and she started uttering boobie baby ugh. When the Olsen Twins became soooooo cute. How about when the show started.
I wouldn't say that this show jumped the ship, I also wouldn't say that I am too sober right now either though, but anyway, the at least every other show special talk between Danny Tanner and his girls. I believe it started with "Ever since your mother died..." and ended with "Now how 'bout a hug for your old dad?" Love the show, maybe a little too much, but I gotta say, that would for some people be the jump the shark moment!
It was pointless when the kids started to get more bored of the show, and puberty.
michelle was so cute, and even funny... until she (they) started talking. blech.
This show jumped when Mary Kate/Ashley grew up and you could see what a horrible actress she was. Also, why didn't the family kick Dave Coulier out? What a pathetic mooch.
Well, it wasn't exactly puberty, but I think that 'Full House' started to get really formulaic when Michelle outgrew her cuteness and just started to be annoying and sarcastic instead. It was getting too patterned. Typical show-Michelle, Stephanie or D.J. has a horrible crisis! Conspire and refuse to tell Dad, Joey, Jesse or Becky. Disaster strikes. Michelle makes a comment, laugh track. Dad, Joey, Jesse, or Becky finds out. The ooh-ahh moment "No matter what you did, I still love you" another cute comment by the overly adored Michelle and the end. Not to say the show was all bad. I loved the first set of episodes and I still watch Full House all the time. I think they are all talented and funny actors, but the show "Jumped the Shark".
When the kids started to get old or when DJ broke up wth Steve. it isn't cute and adorable watching 20 year olds act like little kids.
At the beginning everyone was a family and the show was about their life as a family then next thing you know everyone has their own show!!
What was with that song that Jesse sang? "Forever"? I could stand it the first time, but then he sang it all the time! He made a music video, my God! The song wasn't that great either. When he sang it for the 89th time, I gave up that show.....Forever!
I HATED this show and everything it stood for! It was practically born shark-bait from Day One but the WORST of it was when Michelle gets gypped in getting a MUCH smaller rhino toy than advertized so at Joey's urging, she and the other children confront the rhino-costumed spokesman about the rip-off and they're BLOWN OFF! Okay, for ONE minute, this is Real Life. So what happens next? Does she learn that corporations sometimes don't CARE about the feelings of gypped customers- even children's feelings- as long as they've already gotten the cash? Not a chance. because the rhino shows up AT HER HOUSE and *apologizes* ( with the studio audience 'aww'-ing and cheering) ! So what does Michelle learn? Here's the lession: If one is cute, it doesn't matter how right your cause is OR how intellectualy sound your argument is because ALL that *truly* matters (and influences people) is for you to be able to POUT . and do it *cutely* and THAT alone will get you WHATEVER you want in life! ARRGGHH!!!! BLECH!!!
When Michelle got older, the show went bad. (worse) If it hadn't jumped already, though, it would have jumped with the Beach Boys episode.
This very show, along with the responses above, proves once and for all, without any doubt, that the Nielson Ratings need to be canned. 1987-1995??? You have got to be kidding!!! ----- Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) and his sister (the girl who played DJ in Full House) HAD THE TWO WORST FAMILY COMEDY shows on TV and yet both lasted for years. Can anyone name any other pair of related actors and/or actresses who had seperate shows this bad and last sooooo long? Kirk and his sister will go down in history as two kids who had parents that knew somebody in Hollywood. Is it a coincidence that Growing Pains and Full House came on at almost the same time (two year difference I believe) with nearly identical longevity in years??? ------ Hey, Saget!!! Maybe you should get another series to host called: "America's Stupidest Comedies"!!! That way we can finally learn the mystery behind the success of Full House. "The truth is out there!" Instead of 'Full House', try 'Royal Flush'(down the toilet, that is).
None of the people who voted on Full House seem to know anything about that show!!! If you watched it you would know that everything went downhill when D.J. and Steve broke up!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always wondered why ALL the children (including Jesse's sons) who were supposed to be 1/2 GREEK (and whose non-Greek parent had dark hair) were blondes. Just goes to show they are not human. Also Dave Coulier and Bob Saget were both HORRIBLE on the Sunday evening shows they did. AFHV and I forget the name of the other thing.. I guess my brain does not want to remember something so painful.
This was the most awful show EVER. For the entire tenure of this show, I prayed for a fatal airplane crash involving the entire cast. A plane crash would have also taken care of America's Funniest Videos and that other lame-o show (America's Funniest People???) with that other little troll from this show. Bob Sagat is the least talented comedian to grace the sitcom genre.... someone needs to hit him in the head repeatedly with a blunt object.
Sure, it was stupid, but it was an entertaining show to a 7 year old. Also, I don't care what anyone says, in the last 2 seasons, Candace Cameron was HOT.
Not only did this show jump the shark, I'm pretty sure it tried to anally rape it as well. Day one, bigtime.
This show stunk right from the beginning and never improved. It sucked.
When you started to notice that all the episodes look alike. Same basic plot line. It's too corny, very dumb. There are always repeats on, and it's not a good show.
When Scott Baio guest starred as Uncle Jesse's old friend. Doesn't Scott Baio have the same effect on shows as Ted McGinley? (see Happy Days, Charles in Charge, Joanie Loves Chachi)
This so-called sit-com really JTS for me on the episode where that slutty D.J. was seen kissing Steve right off the plane from Spain. The most shocking aspect was that she now DRINKS COFFEE! That's as bad as Greg Brady being reprimanded for calling Bobby a little stinker; BTW, GREG'S appearance on Full House was merely yet another JTS symptom. Back to D.J. - if she was a real teen instead of a goody-goody she not only would have done it with Steve, she would be on the pill as well. Let's be real, folks - God only knows the people at Full House weren't! (BTW, Married... With Children had at least one episode - the show within a show - where the producer threatened his writers with being transferred to Full House and those annoying little Olsen hoes if they didn't follow his sleazy orders.)
Wonderful family show--not many left now.
the fact that the kids could get away with murder and their father would sit them down and have a talk and end up saying "i love you"
I think when that friend Kimmy came on the show it got sooooo annoying. She was even more annoying than the twins.
you people are missing the point. JESSE'S WIFE KICKED ASS. you don't watch this show for the kids. I pulled the old pud a few times to Mrs. Uncle Jesse.
I enjoy 'pullin the old pud' like that last guy does, except i do it with Kimmy and Stephanie too. (DJ can kiss my ass - she thinks she's so great cuz she went out with Steve SopranoVoice - "HI, Deej!") I hate Michelle sooooo much. I don't know why ANYONE who posts here thinks she ever had any talent or was ever cute. She looked like a female version of the crypt keeper from day 1 and eventually her voice became just as evil and annoying. I do, however, think that John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin are both extremely talented. (although i can do without Uncle Jessie's 'clever wit'. and his rock n roll wannabe songs are so elementary that they should be sung by kindergartners) BTW: The Beach Boys have been on that show on at least 5 separate occasions. They should be shot in the face. Finally, we come to the guy that is rocket-launched over the shark, far into the atmosphere, perpetually making the inevitable fall of the show more horrific - Danny Tanner. He has got to be hands down the least funniest man on television (although Ross from Friends is a close second). And what is up with his new 'bad-ass' image?!?!? What does he think he is gonna do, send someone to bed without supper? Overall I have to agree with the post above - "This is the gayest show ever made." BTW: (is it possible to anally rape a shark?)
This show NEVER jumped the shark!! It is the greatest show ever. I own them all on video tape, have the scripts to every show, and know the words to many of them by heart. John Stamos is F**KING GORGEOUS!!!! TV never saw a finer specimen. In a nut shell, FULL HOUSE ROCKS!!! (except the Beach Boys episodes, I agree with you there) JOHN STAMOS IS A GOD. REBECCA RO-WHATEVER SHOULD DIE. HE SHOULD BE WITH LORI LOUGHLIN (REBECCA FROM FULL HOUSE)
This show was always pretty bad, but once they decided that every character had to be a celebrity, it went way downhill. Two hosts of a morning show, a rock musician / owner of a club, and a stand-up in the same house? What the hell? And Stamos doing that "Forever" song was an insult to Dennis Wilson, who luckily died before the Beach Boys made 400,000 cameos on this show (didn't Brian just want to kill himself?).
When Mary Kate Olsen replaced Ashley Olsen, the show jumped big time.
I thought the guys were cute the first year it was on, but I couldn't and still can't stand the smarmy, smug Bob Saget. I liked the last episode of FH when Michelle gets thrown from the horse and goes into a coma. But let's face it gang, Full House is destined to become the 'Brady Bunch' of Generations Y & Z. Every child I know under the age of 13 loves this show and they watch it religiously.
i think the show was great the kids and teens liked it alot it helped them with problems and i think you should make it later in the day for when kids get home from school they enjoy it!!!
Obviously the show jumped when the girls got older and didn't need the help of the guys anymore. The show lost its purpose after that. Then they added Jesse's wife and kids to the show, and the entire premise was destroyed.
when jessie and rebecca have twins... as if michelle wasn't enough
I have to agree with the people who already said that the girls got away with murder. Stephanie should have gotten the butt-whipping of her life after backing up the car into the house!
In my opinion, Full House got anoying in that bogus earthquake episode, that was inspired by a real tradgety(so I'm a poor speller). Why is it many shows have some big diaster. It could be a new JTS catagory.
This show JTS and hit the mesh fence on the other end of the tank on Day One. But the worst was when the Beach Boys showed up like eight ****ing times, and John Stamos become the big hair-band rocker (and then burned out) , and Jodie Sweetin kept dancing to "Love Shack" by the B-52s EVERY!OTHER!WEEK! God, that show was such a nightmare. And don't get me started on Bob Saget, who is truly a sign of the Apocalypse.
This is the worst show in the history of television. And they were on for 8 years.
when the show first started!!! it was dumb all along and some people are just starting to see that now as they watch the reruns.
ummm ok dj goes to spain and comes back a bit chubby and certianly unattractive.... show is canceled and she appears on boy meets world as a witch.... ummm hottie?
I'll admit to watching this show! Sure it was good family entertainment, but it was soo freakin fake! First of all DJ was ugly as sin, and prude to, and she still managed to get with the most "hot" popular guy in school please! And first of all do you really think two young single guys will devote their time to taking care of some kids and want to live with them the rest of their lives even when they have their own families? And O yea every time one person in the family went someone for business the whole family dropped everything including school and work and went traipsing off (ex. Disney and Las Vegas) And we cant forget how the same corny theme music played at the end whenever Danny talked with his girls, then Michelle would say something cute and they would all laugh, and the worst was over. Puh-leese, it was fun to watch, but lets get some real scenes in here!
I think everyone's being really mean to this show.. i love it because its so painful to watch.. and the guy who said some stuff bout its impossible for 3 guys in san francisco to be straight is a homophobic ignorant ******* who doesn't realize everyone in san francisco isnt gay.. but anyways the only bad things about this show were those frog faced olsen twins and those annoying other twins and the fact that everyone on the show had a perfect job..
Okay in the early show Jesse Joey and Danny all were regular people they were found playing basketball dating trying different jobs etc......towards the show's end Jesse couldn't play 1 sport even slightly ,Joey was more stupid then Michelle and was never seen without a puppet and Danny always cleaned! Jesse's name even changed from Cochran to Cassopolis! When he fainted at his twin son's birth like a wimp the show had already JUMPED THE SHARK!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show was so cheesy, you'd think it was sponsored by cheez whiz and the state of wisconsin. A whole family in one house, and they managed not to kill each other? please. What I hated most of all is the kids would do terrible things, and their only punishment was some stupid talk that ended in a hug, backed up by some mushy music and a promise never to do something bad again, if it was real life, those kids would have been beaten within an inch of their life. THAT made my stomach turn
HELLO! Why doesn't someone mention how incredibly annoying Kimmy Gibbler is?! The fact that she always barges into the house, disrespects Danny and Jessi ALL THE TIME, and then always manages to take off her shoes, which gets everyone sick. I was waiting for the day when all 3 of the men had their turn beating her and then she would become a strange smell in the basement. And don' you just love how Danny always molested Michelle? Actually, they all did. They were always holding her, hugging and kissing her...what the hell is that all about? But I have to admit that my sister and I watch it all the time so we can feel better about our homelife and are so happy we don't have a "little princess" for a sister.
when stephanie hit puberty, she had the lamest story lines of them all
What I never get is how the dorks on this show are able to score with the chicks while Pee-Wee Herman gets nothing. This might be the worst major show in the history of television. It beats Joanie Loves Chachi, Mr. Belvidere, Family Matters, Wings, Designing Women, Golden Girls, Magnum P.I., Webster, Rhoda and Barney. What's wrong with America? and Miami Vice.
This show didn't jump the shark...the shark didn't come anywhere near this show for fear of becoming violently ill. This ****-com was not only sappy, badly written, and lame, but it boasted possibly the worst cast in TV history (with the possible exception of John Stamos, who deserved better and is probably embarrassed now for his association with this piece of crap). But what always got me about this show...no matter who got married or had kids or whatever, they still lived in that damn house. By the time the show mercifully ended, there were 350 people living in that house...it seems to me that if John Stamos' character had gotten married and had kids and had a good job, why the hell would he move his wife and family into the ATTIC?!?!?! With Bob Saget as a roommate?
When Joey started doing that 'Cut, it, out' thing with his hands.
When they came out with those ugly ass Michelle Talking dolls and the family dolls!!!
When every time Danny had to give a lecture in every show to the girls thinking that people that watched the show would actually learn from it. When Jesse made that dumbass video for the song that he wrote for Rebecca on their wedding day. Jesse and the Rippers. Jesse's 80's hair do. Corny jokes(ex. "Kimmy put on your shoes before you set off the smoke alarm.")
a few shows in, when i was already tired of, "is that tree made of, wooood?" and, "how rude!" and "merrrrcyyyy," i noticed the background music when it was time for danny to say "pleeeaaaase... (whine) can't we all just get along (whine), you're the only girls i have now (whine,sniff,whine)
I'm not to sure when this show jumped....but when it did it went down quick! The very last show (the one where Michelle got amnesia) made the jump certain!
It has to be the most pathetic attempt at humor I have ever seen--did anyone on this show know how to act? Sagat is bad enough, but did they have to get that annoying idiot and his silly impersonations? None of them would've gotten a date, even without the kids. And Stamos, God help us--we're supposed to believe he has talent and deserves fame cause he can play drums and knows "I'm the greatest.....idiot" Mike Love? The only redeeming feature of this slop was the incredibly hot Lori Laughlin, who is one of the most amazing sights in heels and a dress that I have ever seen. Worth watching with the sound off for that alone, but once they got married the producers decided to put her in jeans and flats and then there was absolutely no reason to watch it all. Listening to this show can cause brain damage. It makes Gilligan look like Kant.
BEFORE IT BEGAN! This show was probably the WORST show on tv! I cant believe they're still playing reruns of it! I mean, if I have to look at the Olsen twins' faces one more time I will puke! Just thinking of them and the show makes me shudder! Excuse me, I think I'm gonna be sick...
There is SO much to say here. I'd better just get it off my chest. 1) To all the people who said the show died when Michelle got 'uncute'- SHE WAS FUGLY FROM THE BEGING. I'm fairly certain that those girls have had some work done. 2) Those ****ing twins. Nicky and Alex. For real, where was the curly fro's and unibrows? None in this 'Greek' family. Those kids looked like total freaks. Their parents should be put in jail for child abuse because they let their sons be mentally abused on that show. They had to have that sickening hair-do just because Uncle Jessy had hair issues. 3) Poor Kimmy Gibler. When this show first started Kimmy was just a little girl but the whole family HATED her. When she came over the adults encouraged the kids to riddicule her. They talked about how she was stinky and stupid and how she was so weird. I would rather live with the Gibbler family any day. Those Tanners had some nerve, 3 grown men living together in San Fran and they have the nerve to pass judgement on Kimmy. Give me a ****ing break. 4)Steve was a 'Vinne' from Blossom rip-off. I would switch between these shows and wonder if Blossom and D.J. knew if they were dating the same guy. I don't think either of them had any balls at all. 5) Uncle Jessy and Joey have EVERY JOB EVER INVENTED. Last week they are working hard on their drive time radio show and this week they are building up a stable of ho's. It was ridiculous. 6) Jessy gets married and moves.....TO THE ATTIC. This is a really Greg Brady move. His wife was never like,"No. **** this. We got jobs. I'm not living in a house full a people, in the attic!" 7)D.J. Tanner.......EGHHHH.....There should be a whole page dedicated to what is wrong with her. She was the biggest nerd ever but would act like she was all hot. She was so prissy that the fun-loving Kimmy (who btw- was supposed to be soooo ugly but got all the guys) looked like a slut. I really could go on but I'd better not think about the Tanners any longer.....Aughhhh....I just thought about when they met all of their Greek twins....ah Christ....
I think this show was pure **** the whole time it was on. Jesse was the poorest excuse for an actor i have ever seen! Nicky and Alex deserved to be shot. Joey was a poor excuse for a human who doesn't deserve to live. Danny i swear to god i just wanted to see the look on his face when commet takes a big smelly **** on the floor! They should have had a special Christmas Mass suicide episode the first season it was on. Than way no one would feel the pain and gruesome torture of Mr. Woodchuck. Steve should have gotten beat to death with a golf club then hit by a car numerous times in a row. Then the world could finally sleep in peace and for the most part Full |House would be gone forever.
This show never jumped. It was great all the way through. The only time it stepped towards the shark was when the Olsens learned to read (they didn't act as well when they could read the script instead of just repeating their lines). I think it's stupid to say a show jumped the shark on the first day. That just means the person didn't like the show at all. I think people should at least like the 1st season to say a show jumped the shark.
Full House didn't jump yet! Those shows are hilarious! I mean the dad ( Danny ) is a bit of a ***, otherwise I love that show - Keep it going! The Little boy twins that are in the show are MUCH! better than Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen!
I agree with everyone else who has ripped the show. It is the dumbest nonsense I have ever seen. I guess I can't really go off on it too much, cause I've actually watched a lot of episodes in full, but I was waiting for my mom to come home and make dinner at the time, and it was better than doing homework and there was nothng else on. But boy was that show bad. I think I used to watch it just to laugh at how bad it was. But I didn't hate the twins as much as most people seem to. I hated the whole scenario. First of all, Joey was supposed to be a comedian, but whenever they showed him performing, he was even less funny that his character on the show. And I don't even need to mention the rest of them. It seems like most of the scripts came off a Xerox machine, except that somehow, as difficult as it must have been, they managed to get dumber every time. But I have to admit, I think watching that show made me feel a lot better about my own life. Maybe my house wasn't as big, but at least my parents weren't totally ignorant and ultra-conservative dumbasses who corrupted their kids' sense of reality to such an extent that it posed a threat to the continuation of our species.
yes, this show is pure cheese. but i love every bit of it. interesting that those of y'all who say you despised it from the beginning CONTINUED to watch it and know more about it than i do. this amuses me greatly. as for whn i think it jumped, that would probably be when the girls got too old to be cute. But still, if you look at it as just more cheesy, delightful, utterly unbelievable television, you might find that this stuff's ok. those of you who feel the need to rant about how annoying everything is, please get help. you're too darn cranky. do you ever smile?
the episode where Full house jumped would be the one where Stephanie's friend from Class was getting beaten by his father and Uncle Jesse called the police..It was just hokie and I realize that it was a touchy subject but it was just ******** .
I've seen a lot of stupid kids in my life, but Michelle has to be the worst. In one episode, she actually thinks she is going to marry Steve. Then after finding out it isn't for real, she says "thanks a lot, that was real mean." Then of course they buy her off by taking her to a pizza place because "they feel bad about what they did" despite the fact it wasn't their fault. This is horrible.
Those annoying Olsens!!! It seemed like every damn episode they said "You got it dude" enough.
Here's a great premise for a show: let's us guys here at Disney stand up for family virtues and put on a show with a bunch of kids who can't act, then put annoying men on it who have no acting ability whatsoever, then we'll recycle plots from Saved By The Bell and Davey and Goliath. That way, we're sure someone will watch because we can point out what a great 'family' show it is and no one will notice the horrid acting or ridiculous plots. Oh yea, and make sure one the guys is 'cute." The only reason I ever watched this show (with volume off) was Lori Laughlin, who was one of the most gorgeous, perfect babes in the world. When she married Stamos and stopped wearing dresses and high heels, the show was a pigsty of right-wing garbage.
I loved the show.. just didnt like all the life lessons.. you know when they played that music and everyone hugged?
Which one of those pill poppers down at ABC actually thought this series was a good IDEA? Bob, those god awful Olson twins, Jesse's ugly ass twins, and Stephanie makes me turn my back on the late 80s/early 90s and NEVER WANT TO LOOK BACK! This show jumped the damn shark the minute i realized that I was a decent human being with functioning brain cells and that I, at like 6 years old, could have written better scripts for the show. The show would have jumped back had everyone died in the earthquake though.
When Jesse and Becky had their babies. They are both stupid little brats.
It jumped when they first started playing the same dramatic music for every "problem," after which all is forgiven.
the first time they palyed that gay theme song and when they had THREE GUYS living in a house together! then they were all famous! they will all huggy! EWW GAG ME!
Lets face it Full House was never that great to begin with but it really jumped the shark when it went from being about the whole family then the show seemed just to focus on Michelle and her catch phrase of the week. If that wasn't bad enough Jesse marries Becky, in the first and second season Stephanie seemed to dance in every other episode, D.J. gets a really annoying with her even more annoying boyfriend, and at the end of every episode when the problem of the week was about to be resolved the crappy cheesy music would start. And why is it that the most annoying and most cheesiest shows always stay on the longest?
the disney trip where danny proposed to vikki, michelle became princess for the day and steph was mad, and joey and jesse did the radio show from underwater, then rebecca got mad because jesse was late, and then steve came to see D.J. in florida..
When Jesse changed his last name in between the pilot and permanent spot
I know it a family show and all but this what you tell kids. That every thing can be better with a hug. They hug 21 times a episode. Far from what the real world. And The Final Episode. Oh God that sucked. Michelle get in a coma when a horse kicks her of a horse. Then there is the olsen twins meet for the frist time on full house together. Then she remembers everything and the show end for good with one last hug. It a bunch of crap.
This show never jumped wether its uncle jessie getting mad at joey or michele getting old enough to date...This shows the Coolest...and as they say on FULL HOUSE ...AHHHHHHH........
Okay, first of all, FULL HOUSE SUCKED SO BAD! It all started with Jesse and his psychotic, immature obsession for Elvis. He became famous marrying that hot model but thats about it. And his fiance is nothing like him and the twins got too big within seasons and that part just sucked. The father, Bob Saget, was better off on America's Home Videos because his character was such a goodie 2 shoes fruitcake I wanted to puke. And his crazed brother wonders why he doesn't get any a$$! The cut that out gesture wasn't very funny and it didn't catch on! Stephanie was a wh@*& and I swore her and her boyfriend was just too perfect. And her friend Kimmy should just admit she was a lesbian and get over it because she followed her female friend like a bad habit. The second daughter grew to be a brat and may the Olsen Twins be the next Milli Vanilli because they're alien faces make me wanna barf! As they got older, they should've taped everyone's mouth shut! Uh, I'm sorry but FULL HOUSE WAS THE WORSE HALF HOUR AND THEY NEVER MADE IT BACK TO THE SURFACE WITH THAT DAMNED DISNEY WORLD SERIES!
I will be concise: worst show ever.
As the show suffered, they brought in more characters to "spice things up" but alas, the show was already moldy and stale. Michelle was annoying and needed to grow up, I was pleased to see her fall off the horse but angry to see her revive. The Princess of Disneyland episode or whatever was the worst. "I wanna be the princess whine whine!" Full House was a waste of a good half-hour.
Stephanie was annoying when she was young. When she got older, she was a bit easier to stand
Okay I hate this show. I used to watch it like almost every day when I was little but in the last five years I think it is one of the most annoying shows besides the Beverly Hillbilles Barney. I stopped watching this show in the 5th grade and when I was in 7th grade my then best friend LOVED John Stamos (ick!) and best the selfish low-life bitch she is, she MADE me watch TWO episodes of Full House EVERY time she came over. I would sit there and moan and complain while she drooled over him. I hated this show and hated hanging out with her for this. Full House and a few other reasons are the reason why she is no longer my friends (she's my enemy now). I dont' know whether to thank Full House or to torture the cast for torturing me.
If you were a little girl growing up then you were practically FORCED to watch full house. Bob was not a caring father. for the love of god, do you know a straight man who loves to clean and lives with 2 other men? NO I DON'T THINK SO. And the jesse hair obsession----his hair looked like a bird's nest that a giant ostrich took a **** on! Joey wasn't funny! "cut it out!" yeah joey CUT HIM OUT OF THE DAMN SHOW. DJ WAS FAT no kiddies not PHAT FFFFFAAAAAATTTTT she had bad hair and bad taste in guys and clothes. come on wtf was she thinking when steve came along? he just used her sorry ass to get to the tanner's refridgerator. Stephanie was the most annoying when she was little but i have to admit she was the most sane tanner when she got older. MICHELLE JUST NEEDS TO DIE. they need to stop trying to act! in conclusion.....i still watch the show sometimes. please shoot me now.
I THINK FULL HOUSE "JUMPED THE SHARK" WHEN MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY STARTED "ACTING" THEY ARE THE WORST ACTORS IN THE WORLD AND ARE NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACT. MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY NEVER DO ANYTHING BY THEM SELVES. EVERYONE COUNTS THEM AS ONE ACTOR BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INDEPENDENT. ALSO, I THINK IT IS STUPID HOW THEY MADE NICKY AND ALEX TWINS BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE LEARNED FROM MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY THAT TWIN ACTORS SUCK!
Talk about a super shark-jump. Already dragged down weekly by the Olson twins, this show couldn't leave it alone and actually had to add ANOTHER set of twins to the cast! When a show resorts to twins, you know the shark has come in for the kill.
Full House was the best show ever made in my opinion. I respect yours, but Jesse was a good actor. you obviously don't know what good acting is. I like the show the first season I still watch the repeats on TBS. That show is awesome!!!! They all were great actors and actresses. Nicky and Alex were adorable. What were you doing when you were like two not acting probably. FULL HOUSE ROCKS AND ALWAYS WILL.
It shouldn't have gone of the air, its the cutest show!
full house is possibly the gayest show ever on the air for more than 1 season. i think it jumped when it got so unrealistic it made my head hurt. i mean are they all perfect or something. and there house is f**king small how in the hell did they have a big back yard when the houses where a foot apart. how the hell do you get a car back there like they did almost EVERY season for some reason or another. i would say everything i think is wrong with the show but i would die half way there
When they were little, the Olsen twins were very talented babies. They were good at following acting cues. As they got older, they SUCKED. They couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. And explain something to me - Becki co-hosts a TV show, Jesse owns the Smash Club, yet they never move out of their brother-in-law's attic....
When they couldn't seem to have any more story ideas and started to do the same plots over, one of the girls hides an animal in the house, one of the girls becomes obsessed with a body part of theirs, the girls have a misunderstanding with a friend. It was like watching new reruns.
The last five minutes of the show are always the same. It was a good show except it was kind of on the cheesy side.
I never missed an FH episode when it was in the TGIF lineup. Then ABC moved the show to Tuesday nights, and people never watched it anymore!
Both Joey and Jesse had mullets, nuff said.
Isn't it funny how everywhere the Tanners went, the whole family always ended up onstage singing and dancing.
NOT that there's anything wrong with it, but don't the guys hug just a TAD too much? Especially Danny! He raised 3 daughters so he must be straight? Or is he? Maybe he runs AC/DC (in other words...both ways) Same with Joey. He plays hockey on the show but is second in line to being a hugging monster as Danny is. So maybe Joey runs both ways too? Don't know.
The whole show is sooo sad, none of them can act, none are funny and none are good looking!
Whenever anyone ever sang in this show it did not do well. Remember Uncle Jessie's failed nightclub stint as a "vulture"? Ohhh, boy.
Steph was adorable and an excellent actress, but ONLY WHILE HER HAIR WAS STILL CURLY! Once it got straight, the show started to rapidly deteriorate. And who can forget the loveable Harry "Hiya Chief!" Takiyama. Whatever happened to that kid???
I didn't really watch this show as often after it moved from TGIF to Tuesdays, because I was usually doing homework. About that time, though, it seemed like they started getting too old for it. It's too bad that so many people hate this show. I do agree that it was pretty cheesy how little the kids got punished, and that it was kind of dorky sometimes, but overall, I think it was a good, clean family show. I've seen a lot of the episodes I missed after it moved to Tuesdays on reruns, and it seems like the show really did begin to change around that time. Like I said before, the kids started getting too old, and Michelle became too much of a smart-aleck that I don't know how anyone could stand her. I guess they brought Nicky and Alex along to keep some youth around, but to me, they didn't really do that much for the show. I'd say it peaked somewhere between 1989 and 1991.
Are you on drugs?! How could you say Full House is the worst show on Television? It's the BEST show ever made! I have almost every episode on tape and it's the only TV show I watch now! ( I don't watch regular TV, and I have not had cable for over a year and a half) It's way beyond my favorite show, I feel like an unofficial Tanner! I also collect Olsen videos and am a major Olsen fan. All I watch is my full house tapes and Olsen videos.
I don't know if I told you this but every since your mom died. Let's get real people. You know the only reason the guys weren't gay is because their sexual preference was the same as a pedophile. What grown man says they'll move in with friend/brother-in-law and three girls? And for those who says Barney sucks. Why would people teach their kids that singing and dancing with their stuffed animal that went from 6" to 6' is normal and happy to do? Especially if it's a man eating dinosaur? Purple at that? BULL****! Run like the wind! Loves you my ass he's going to eat you! Here's how I see it. If your kid can say NO to a stranger who offers them candy, how cant they resist a 6' man eating dinosaur wanting to hug and dance and sing with them? Take them from their bedroom at night to an adventure island! Barney and Full House have a LOT in common. And people wonder WHY when their kids get f**ked over in life.
I might be in the minority here, but I liked Full House. Okay, I admit that sometimes it was so cutesy that there should have been a warning at the beginning of the show, but all in all I enjoyed the show. To all the people who "hated" the show so much and thought it was the "worst show on tv", get a life! Full House was a nice family show and it was funny. Also, what's this vendetta against Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (Michele)? They're just little girls, for goodness sake, and some of you are acting like they're the spawn of Satan! Obviously many people watched the show otherwise it wouldn't have been on as long as it had. I'm not saying that Full House was this great, intellectual show, it was just fun. And if you "hated" the show so much, then why did you watch it? DUH!
This show Rocked...kay, some of it was stupid, but all in all it was a good family show. It touched on a lot of issues, was wholesome and fun to watch. The kids got older and the show couldn't keep adding children, so it finally decided to go off the air....
This show jumped the shark in 1995. It was popular for almost 10 years. But people began to think that the movie got real boring. I love the show I still do but I wasn't all that sure when it stopped being aired. The show just was not hip enough. But I always thought that the show was really cute. I also felt real sorry for the kids because they never knew their mother. But also I think that Full House always repeated their episodes, I hated that you used to see each episode more than once. So that's probably why they had to take it off air.
This show started to go bad once the characters started to get older and they started to do different shows and movies. I especially didn't like the first shows when all the sisters were young they just weren't very good actresses yet but they progressively got better then the show just took a dive at the end in 1995 that is why I stopped watching that and they kept running reruns.
Well I think we all agree that this show licked crap from the beginning, but every now and again I see a later episode with those horrendous boy twins. Why doesn't anyone cut their hair? I swear, they can't even see out of those shaggy mops. Naturally they can't act, but that's nothing new when you look at the rest of the cast. This show must have wanted us all to mock it, because every episode was an exercise in sugar-coated bull**** torture.
candice cameron is all grown up and married to a hockey player, bob saget has a dirty mouth, the olsen twins are now sluts, what happened to jody sweeten and the rest of the cast?
I might get thrown out of the Shark Club for this, but the Olsen twins are starting to look pretty hot. Even as toddlers they had cute faces. Now you can tell they're just going to be absolute killers in about three years. I know, I know, I loathe myself for saying this, because I pretty much hated the show from day one (except when Joey did his Popeye impression, that was dead on). I feel as bad as the day I was channel surfing and hit VH1's "Hard Rock Live" and thought, "Hey, these guys are rockin'! But why do they look familiar? They look kinda like ... chipmunks. Like ... the ... Hansons! Agggggh!"
i loved this show growing up, i was about the same as as stephanie when i saw it... and i hafta agree, i watched it religiously i was in 3rd grade when the show went off air and cried... i think i've seen every show possible, and still catch my self watching some of them.. michelle was cute, but NOT that cute! i met the olsen twins right after the show went off air... they were in my city "learning" to ice skate w/ one of my friends, TOTAL BITCHES! OH WELL, that's what happens w/ snotty lil spotlight brats from birth! my dad died when i was little (6) so, watching this and how they coped w/ their mothers death, really did help me some... and when everything went wrong in dj's "dream" on the night before her graduation exam... i just took mine last semester... and i remember that show, it helped me remember everything, its stupid, repetitive and corny, but i loved it, and i was a kid when it was on air... that's what its for, kids, not TEENS OR ADULTS... so, don't be so critical over it, that's like saying you liked barney, but it got boring, ITS NOT FOR YOU TO WATCH... ITS FOR KIDS!!
Kimmy Gibler had a mullet. This show, besides its ham-handed preachiness, was totally unbelievable. I live in San Francisco. Where the Tanners supposedly lived are actually multimillion dollar homes. I doubt Danny, at his gig a a local schlockfest like "Wake Up San Francisco" would pocket enough bread to support his brood, assorted freeloaders, dog Comet, and damn Mr. Bear as well as pay a mortgage on such plush digs. Yeah effin' right. And Candace Cameron was a chunk.
Another sterling creation from the medicated folks at Jeff Franklin Productions (also responsible for the steaming pile known as "Hanging with Mr. Cooper"). I defy anyone to pull their pud to Candace Cameron and not wretch at the same time. It can't be done!
Don't all of you think the Olsen twins are the two most homely people in the entire world?! They weren't cute...at least, not once they said their first word. And what's with the guest stars? The only way they could get anyone to guest star was to have either relatives or former co-stars appear? (Frankie and Annette starred with Lori Loughlin in Back to the Beach, Candice Cameron and Kirk Cameron are brother and sister, John Stamos had something to do with the beach boys, but I can't remember what) I do think John Stamos is an awesome singer, but he tried WAY too hard to imitate John Travolta...it wasn't even Elvis, it was John Travolta...ugh. I didn't get that these three kids of Greek decent were blonde..."they get it from their mother"...right...she was Jesse's sister...therefore she should have looked like him...Greek...ugh again. No kid should ever be allowed to get away with HALF the stuff Michelle (or Jesse's twins, for that matter) got away with, I kn! ow my butt would have been blistered from spankings...but no, instead it was simply a semi-stern "don't do it again" followed by "I love you" the only times she (or her sisters, for that matter) got punished, they completely ignored their punishment, and didn't get in trouble for that either. Jesse's twins were holy terrors!! What is it, if you're little and cute, you're beyond reproach no matter what?? AND BOB SAGET!! What possessed them to cast him???? He wasn't even good on AFV!!!!! However, all that aside...for some reason I actually like this show...maybe just so I can pick it apart...I don't know... I want to smack Dave Coulier every time he says "cut it out" his stand up routine, the few times they showed it, was hilarious... except for that. Ranger Joe? What's up with that? In one of the first seasons, DJ buys a horse...without telling her father...what's up with that, is she ********? Not only that, but when he finally finds out, Rebecca buys the horse an! d DJ gets to keep it anyways!! (The horse mysteriously disappears after that, by the way) anyways, this is a little long, so away I go now.
biggest piece-o-crap ever, must admit I had many an impure thought about DJ ! still not enough to justify the hideous combo of olsen twins, saget and coulier.
I was a fan of Full House and even had a little bit of a crush on Jodie Sweetin. I still think she's hot. But that Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler) was never ever anything to look at, and when she hit puberty, she was even more ugly. At least Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie, made me wish I had a girlfriend like her.
FH was a hideously annoying, unfunny, unwatchable pile of garbage. No one could act and no one could be funny if their lives depended on it. It was never explained how dark-haired Bob Saget could have a dark-haired Greek brother (John Stamos), and also have three blond daughters. Everyone involved in this program, both onscreen and offscreen, deserves to be kicked out of every Hollywood union and not be allowed to work in the entertainment industry in any way again.
Aside from "The Movie" and an appearance by Ted McGinley, this abomination of a show falls into ever shark-jumping category there is. (Actually, the appearance of Scott Baio in one episode should in effect carry the same weight as an appearance by Ted McGinley, so really, all we are left with here is "The Movie.") Where to begin ? This has to be one of the most awful television shows ever produced. Bad premise, bad scripts, terrible acting all around, everyone mugging for the camera trying to "out-cute" each other, not a single shred of realism. Why can't anyone else see that the Olsen twins flatline every word and CAN'T ACT! And, they STILL can't act! Both will probably end up in the pages of Playboy one day for one of Hugh's "twins" issues. The older sister was the most bearable, while the middle sister's acting flaws became painfully obvious when she went from semi-cute kid to VERY awkward teen. Those twin boys...dont even get me started on that. Some of the more annoying aspects of the show, IMO: A house that looks like a piece of crap from the outside that continues to morph into Trump Plaza, housing every family member and friend. Nice attic Uncle Jesse -- its bigger than the rest of the house; Dave Coulier's cartoon voices; the non-acting ability of Bob Sagat; audience "ooohs" and "aaaaahs"; Kimmy Gibler; the family "sings" with the Beach Boys...and I could go on for days. John Stamos had to be doing this piece of garbage for the money. He all but says the actual words that it was an embarrassing waste of time on his E Celebrity Profile.
all of the above entries are quite entertaining but come on...this show stayed on as long as it did (as growing pains did) not because it was appealing to 20 something viewers!! The target audience was 5+!! Look at it through the eyes of an eight year old, and it is a hit. Adults who found the show entertaining should be committed. But these are wholesome funny shows, TO A CHILD.
When Joey is forced to move into the garage. Nine people, four wage earners, two bathrooms,one house. Either move out or build a friggin' addition.
I just want to say to all of you out there who think this show was the worst ever...it stayed on for a very, very long time. Obviously it must have had some redeeming qualities or it would have gotten canceled. It was cheesy, yes. But I don't think that anyone related to the show would have denied that. It stopped reality for awhile and showed people how good life can be if a family actually...SHOCK...cares about each other. It was consistently the same funny, cheesy show from beginning to end and I enjoyed it.
I think Full House jumped the shark when Michelle made her dad a tuna melt when his girlfriend Vicki left him for her new job... Ahh... there's nothing worse then sharing a tuna melt with your dad next to a warm fire.
The Show Jumped the First time someone thought up the concept. I personally hold Full House, Step by Step and other such shows for the killing American TV.THESE SHOWS ADD NOTHING TO SOCIETY EXCEPT MAKE AMERICANS THE LAUGHING STOCK AROUND THE WORLD.iT IS NO WONDER THAT ABC,CBS AND NBC are losing audiences to cable.
The show jumped the shark EVERY DAMN EPISODE!!! Think about it, John Stamos sings a million songs about his son, Bob Saget gives a ****-load of dry humor, and the olsen twins SUCK! I mean, all they ever do is a million renditions of "If you think your a walrus"! And in a family of an aging widower, three blonde bimbos,and an aging rock star and a dry-humor comedian as uncle's, why do they live in a San Francisco suburb and not one of them have mental problems? But the worst was the finale. the olsen suffers from amnesia and doesn't recover until five minutes before the series ends. What a way to crush a dream! If she was to go insane and rot and suffer in a personal hell for the rest of her life, it would have ended great. And to those who like this show for any reason, you must be put away in an insane asylum for a long time!!!!
The show jumped when uncle jesse got married. it was the last good episode. after that jessie moves into the attic with his wife. rebecca had a house of her own. what kind freak wants to spend more time with an olsen twin anyway. even a cheesy storyline (which the show was classic for)where they moved next door would have been a better plot then moving into the tanner attic. another thing where was Joey's g/f the guy had like 1 show where he actually had a date. and i wanted to shoot him every time he did that dumb woodchuck and bullwinkle voice. and whatever happened to his tv show where he played a cartoon dolphin with frankie and annet. and stephanie was the most annyoing is charater after the second grade they should have pulled a judy winslow with her and just never spoke about her again. and trying to save he show with more little kids was like jumpoing the shark 4 times at once. michelle wasnt cute anymore get over it u cant get others to replace her no one liked raven someone of so why would they like nikki and alex. who names their kid DJ ok and let ket her some lippo suction and why would anyone date her she was a nerd. she never even kissed a guy on the show. i sports guy like steve wants a girl that puts out. she had like 5 boyfriends on the show all at once that was just bizaar. they came from nowhere. and when danny didn't marry vicki well who can feel sorry for that unfunny squeaky voiced loser. it was the funniest episode when he got dumped the only one i liked. id give you my opinion on the olsen twins but well i don't even think the guarantee of freedom of speech would let me voice this opinion.
You all need to settle down!! Full House was a kids' show, and yes, although it didn't have the best plots and it was pretty cheesy, I loved it as a kid. I think its sad that kids growing up now don't have a show like that to watch. If I had a young kid, I would much rather have them watch Full House than some of the trash that's on today. (And criticizing the cast's appearance....thats just mean, and I am sure the people that spent all that time bitching about how ugly or fat some of the cast members were aren't all that attractive themselves)
When D.J. thought she was too fat to wear a bathing suit in public and she went on a crash diet for like two or three days and she fainted at the fitness club and then Danny told her she wasn't fat and she got better right away!
I believe Full House never truly jumped. It's one of my favorite shows! And I wish you guys would stop bashing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Dylan and Blake Tuomy-Wilhoit. The Olsens are almost 15! And the boys will be 11 in November! This show is an escape to the harsh realities we all face. And just think if the twins and/or their parents were ever here, and read what you said about them. They would be very hurt. Anyway, the show was extremely funny! I like it a lot! And about recycling episodes, when did they ever do that?
Full House went down the tubes when they added Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky's twins. As soon as they did, you knew it was over. What show wouldn't want to keep some cute little tyke on board... since that was all it ever had going for it. They just weren't quite the same as Michelle though.
It never WAS a good show to anybody over the age of 10, probably, but the seasons I hate the most are the first two, because they are so BORING, and center mostly upon the queeny adults and their bimboey girlfriends, and the later ones, when people like Stephanie, who was a devilish, monstrous brat grow into "awkward" teenagers. Since I mentioned Stephanie, I will stick with her! How annoying can a character BE?! All she even did was whine about "I'm not DJ," and occasionally inserted in not-cute lines like, "Michelle, bubby-baby." As if REAL people talk like that! I also, um, have an impossible time buying that a number of boys made her friendship bracelets at camp. It's sort of mean of me, but Stephanie cannot be described as a classic "beauty" by any means, but more like somebody who would struggle with crushes and have low self-esteem and then some stupid boy would love her for "who she was." The same goes for DJ, who was, by the way, totally boring, and Michelle was a brat, and they kind of just kept getting worse as they aged.
this crappy show jumped the first time you hear the entire studio audience moan with a collective ..."AAAAAHHHHHHHHHWWWWW..."
Actually, I like reading more than commenting because most of the people who post are right on the money, but as far as this show goes, it really did irritated me. What was up with uncle Jessie moving out of his new wife's house and moving back into the house with her to appease the children: They were so sad that uncle Stamos was leaving and beginning a life of his own. Who does that??? Who gets married and decides to sell his own house because his nieces/nephews are sad...get over it, kids...it's life's lesson. People have their own lives to lead. Also, that thing with the Beach Boys...how annoying was it that the show had to show off how cool uncle Jessie was because not only did he know the beach boys, but he got to sing with them as well. So did the whole family on the "Full House Goes to Hawaii" episode. They were a very dorky family. Also, Joey's jokes? How UNfunny were they? That show was just a poor excuse to throw in his stupid impressions of Popeye and the chipmunks! Geez, when did this show NOT jump?
This show made me realize the evil that lurks way, way down in my soul, as I wanted to take a blunt instrument and hit Stephanie over the head with head with it many, many times. This character had to be the most annoying, insipid, obnoxious character to ever disgrace a TV screen. If I ever hear anyone say "How rude!" again, I will be forced to enter an insane asylum.
stephanie was a cool cat. she was snaw-ty but i always felt bad for her cause she was stuck between fatty (the overachiever) and the two cute ones. and she was the prettiest one anyway. you know what was funny? stephanie's mean popular friend gia (now the girl on the practice.) they didn't really confront drug issues much, did they? i had a lot of fun with this show when i was in fourth grade, but there's so much that's almost surreal about it now. how do they get us to accept such ridiculous crap? and to the lady who's all "be nice to the olsen twins and the other little twins--" these kids are already f**ked up, especially the olsens, what with psycho stage moms pushing them to be on television from birth to puberty. they are definitely gonna be in playboy. i mean there's no question. you know what was cool too...how they changed the credits each season...like the picture of each individual character, but the end of the credits stayed the same for like 10 years. and the lighting got consistently brighter, or more yellow. did anyone else notice that? lori loughlin was really pretty though.
The house in Full House wasn't correct. If you see how the house looks on the outside, as compared to the inside, the house wouldn't be able to stand. Example, the garage is on the front of the house when viewing it from outside, yet when we go inside, the garage is in the back of the house and would be underground because te basement is under the yard. The upstairs hallway is incorrect because both sets of stairs, (the kitchen and living room) lead up the same way.
It started out bad enough with a premise straight off the shelf from the wacky sitcom store. ("Single parent. Check. Cute children. Check. One teenager. Check. Goofy neighbors. Ah here's where we'll make it stand out, they'll live with them instead of next door to them!") That's an immediate jumping right there. However, one quick jump wasn't good enough for them. They not only jumped the shark, they jumped every shark in the ocean. I don't think there's a single category on this site that couldn't apply to Full House where they did it and the show was even worse afterward. Just when you thought they couldn't jump any further, they'd always manage to find one more shark to go over.
THIS SHOW ACTUALLY BECAME FUNNIER AFTER THE FIRST SEASON,BUT THAT DIDN'T LAST TOO LONG.WHO EVER TOLD JOHN STAMOS HE COULD SING?HIS VOICE IS FLATTER THAN A PANCAKE AFTER IT HAS BEEN RUN OVER BY A MACK TRUCK.IT SEEMED JOEY AND JESSE HAD TONS OF MONEY TO THROW AROUND,BUT ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE CHANGING JOBS.I THINK THE DOG HAD MORE TALENT THAN HALF OF THE CAST DID.THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HAVE SAVED THIS SHOW WAS TO HAVE LORI LOUGHLIN RUNNING AROUND IN A THONG.
well this show jumped the shark the moment the first word of its first script was written, but what really pissed me off while catching an episode during my boredom was the marriage of Joey or whatever and his girlfriend. it ws fake as hell and did not generate any interest for me to watch the show. And sometimes I just wanted to smack one of those Olson twins right in the face while they're doing their little "innocent cute funny" act thing. for a good show, watch the simpsons. For a waste of a half hour which is similar to spending a half hour drowning in one's own feces, watch the crapfest called Full House.
Always sucked, always will!!! From day one this show was one of the lowest points in all of tv. I went into sugar shock just by surfing past it. This show was the precursor of all of those other horrible shows featuring adorable tots spouting comments wiser than their years. Barf bags should have been stapled inside the TV Guide coinciding with the week that this show premiered.
YOU IDIOTS!!!!! STOP DISSING "FULL HOUSE!!!!!" THIS SHOW NEVER JUMPED THE SHARK!!!!! IT WAS GREAT THE WHOLE TIME. CANDACE CAMERON AND JODIE SWEETIN ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE!!!! I LIKED THE OLSENS AND THE TOUMY-WILHOITS TOO!!!! I ENJOY WATCHING THE RERUNS AND LOOKING AT SCRIPTS ON THE WEB!!!!! YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO RIGHT TO POST THIS CRAP AT THE SITE!!!! IT'S NATURAL TO SAY WHEN YOU THINK A SHOW IS GOING DOWN HILL, BUT ALL OF YOU ARE DISSING THE SHOW COMPLETELY AND IT'S REALLY MAKING ME MAD!!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE A SHOW, THEN SHUT THE #%$#$$%^//!!!! UP!!!!!!!!
After watching endless of hours of Full House after school on TBS and WGN, I have come to realize that this show jumped the shark when Jesse and Rebecca got married, the show was funny (seeing a single dad deal with his kids and his friends) but when Rebecca got into the picture, it just added a mother figure for the girls, that changed the whole idea of the show. Also, the kids grew up, It's just not funny when a 12 year old girl (Michelle) says the same soposedly funny lines that she had been saying since a young age.
Hey, i got an idea, let's assemble John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Bob Saget and The Olsen Twins and make a really really lame show on top of it. No, people wont be annoyed, we can air this for 10 years and leave it on in syndication. I can't hate them all that much though, i hate the other cast members because my family always watched this trash and i had to sit through it too, i'm dumber for it. But i dont hate Bob Saget, just for appearing in Half Baked with his classic line about cocaine he gets the thumbsup. This show however gets a huge thumbsdown and a middle finger.
Full House jumped the shark when Stephanie hit puberty. She started dating and was not the little cute girl anymore. She was not the middle child with the quite little quirks. She was just to old.
The ABC executive that came up with this show should be shot. John Stamos AND Bob Saget together? What could they have been thinking? It was cruel and unusual punishment for television viewers for far too many years.
Okay, just because John Stamos drums for the Beach Boys, does not mean that they need to make guest appearances every month. I mean, do you REALLY think the kids were THAT crazy about the band? You never once heard DJ playing a Beach Boys song in her room, right? And the closest any of the kids came to beach music was a repetitious barrage of "Baby Beluga" by Michelle. Originality was NOT one of the show's strong points. Although, Steph sure got cute when she hit puberty, right?
it jumped the shark BIG time when steve left. he was so cool. i mean the guy came back for DJ's prom. He's such a nice guy he'd help out that little tramp. You notice right after he left she was going out with that weasel-y rich guy. Stewart was his name I think. I know...I know way too much about the show. And what's with Jesse changing his name from Cochran to Catsopolis?!!!
Full House had been jumping the shark practically in every episode, but the major jump came when Jesse and Rebecca got married, moved in, and had twins. I think that's nine people living in one house? They pushed it too far.
When the whole family goes to the gym to work out and DJ decides she needs to look like a Super Model and therefore feeds her lunches to the dog and proceeds to pass out at the gym after jacking the stairmaster to top speed.
ok, this show has got to be one of the most God awful shows I have ever seen. First theres DJ. DJ is not that pretty, shes a bit chubby, shes a goody goody and theres not too much to like about her. Yet, she is one of the most popular girls in school. Mary kate and ashley.... you know they would never be in the picture if they're parents didn't know someone in show business, which might explain the *ahem* lack of talent, even when they get older. WHY, in the name of God, WHY can't Jesse and Rebecca move out? Shes a talk show host, and he has a good job, (just like every other ****ing character) they have two twins, and they live in the ATTIC?!?!? Because they just couldn't bear to leave danny and joey? and those stupid ass kids of dannys? doesn't rebecca see something wrong with three guys living together? could she suspect something? such as jesse is *coughafagcough* I don't know about all of you but I got so pissed when they would have the audience go..."ooooooh" everytime someone kissed. and how the tanner kids "learn a lesson" in every show, with that background music. This show jumped the shark the first day, when the world learned that such a lame and painful show had come into this world. Pure Crap!
This is a horrible, horrible show. Got to be by far one of the worst ever (though not as bad as "sister, sister"...the worst show of all time). That being said, I am irresistably drawn to it. After watching enough episodes, I am ashamed to admit it, but I have laughed at the cute antics of the Olsens and at the wacky hijinxs that are so commonplace on this show. I love it, it never jumped! Although...you could make a case for there being too many "have mercy"s and "you got it, dude"s.
Stephanie, sitting in Joey's newly restored classic car (which is on the backyard lawn with the keys in the ignition for some reason)decides to try and find the radio. She sees an "R" and thinks that's radio. However, she ends up putting the car in reverse and drives through the kitchen. What does the family do? Eventually forgives her. That's when I knew this show was utter crap (and I was about 12 or 13 at the time). It took my sister a few more years of watching it to realize that. Thankfully, it's not being rerun 7 times a day like it was a few years ago.
This show had the same effect on everybody. You realize this show is a big lump of crap, but it has a strange hypnotic power. DANNY-What a freak. I hope this was just a result of his wife's death. JOEY-A comedian? No seriously, what do you do for a living? JESSE-You call that music? You would think that a guy with so much emphasis on hair would have cool hair. DJ-Sure, she grew to be an attractive women, but couldn't she have a better catch phrase than "Oh Mylanta?" STEPHANIE-What happened? When you were 8, you acted better than anyone on the show, then you brought disgrace to the show and yourself. MICHELLE-How many catch phrases do you need? "No way Jose. How should I know? Don't call me squirt." BECKY-I just want to say that you are one hot tamale. KIMMY-Do you want me to slap that confused look off of your face? COMET-Way to go buddy, you were the shows talent. STEVE-You did better work as the voice of Aladdin.
The five minute morals lecture (which never resulted in actual consequences) at the end of the show, complete with sappy music, became a staple of all ABC sit-coms in the late 80s and early 90s (Full House, Family Matters, etc). Drew Carey marked the turn-around at ABC.
This show jumped very early on because it was so unrealistic. Jesse and Joey never seemed to work, yet Jesse had a hundred expensive guitars hanging from the wall which he never played. In several episodes, Jesse had what seemed like $20,000 worth of recording equipment in the basement, yet he failed at every job he tried (DJ, singer, advertising).
This show was great during the TGIF Friday night line-up. However, kids were really into this show and could stay up past 8pm on Fridays but many couldnt on school nights and this show was still good as it moved to Tuesday nights until the new characters started being introduced like D.J's boyfriend Steve and Backy's Twins. After the twins were born the show began to sink and I had begun to loose my love for the show and how it used to be. When Stefanie entered Junior High, I knew it was close to the end, because she began dating and Gina was introduced. After that happened the show really stunk. The final 2 seasons were not that great as the rest of the series was before that point. I could say that the show lost its creativity in the spring of 1993. I dont know why Danny never married. Vikki was to be his after the season finale. I dont know what ever happened to her. That was stupid...Marry Me Vikki...yes I will...then I lost track of the show and then she was gone and they never married. The series finale was also a turn down.
Full House can be easily compared to porn. 1)both are viewed in the privacy of one's home. Guys will never watch porn together, and, if they're smart and want to be spared an ass-kicking, they will never watch FH together, nor admit to watching it in the first place. 2)Both include excessive groping. For goodness sake, leave Michelle alone, Danny, Joey and Uncle Jessie. 3)Both porn and FH have extremely bad music. That predictable dramatic music was disgusting. The difference between porn & FH is: 1)porn is entertaining. 2)porn is far more comical 3)Porn usually has a cast of fairly attractive people with even an ounce of talent(come on, these porn stars are good @ what they do.) 4)porn has far better plots-sad, but true. Thus, in conclusion, if ever faced between the choice of watching Full House and watching porn, porn is the far better choice and more rewarding in the end.
This steaming turd that apparently passes for a situation comedy jumped the shark when untalented pretty-boy John Stamos was playing second banana to a bored, depressed-looking Jack Klugman on the forgettable NBC series "You Again," which was on the air in 1986. This show is for people who find "Dawson's Creek" too intellectual and "The Dukes of Hazzard" too complex.
When the best friend who looked like Jeff Daniels (Joey I think) did an imitation of Popeye for, like, the BILLIONTH TIME
I was glad when this thing got canned. The entire cast was very irritating to watch, save for maybe Becky. You'll notice how none of them are doing anything now? I guess the FOOL House royalities are bigger than we think.
From the moment that "Michelle" started to talk the show stopped being about a single guy trying to raise his daughters in a house with one of his friends and his brother in law, and a show about an annoying little kid who talks like she's an idiot for about the first four or five years of her life. The show was never that good to begin with (how much sugary goodness and love can they cram into one episode?), but it was tollerable until it became the "Michelle" show. Then they made it even worse when they started to introduce her friends and they had that annoying little blond boy who no one can ever remember his name playing one of her best friends. He was just annoying the way that he was supposed to be in first grade or something and he was talking like a college professor. I was so releaved that it was ending I actually considered watching the final episode. Luckily, common sense prevailed and I only caught the last one or two seconds of it.
OK, I know that "Full House" wasn't the greatest show since sliced bread, but in the very least, this was a wholesome sitcom the whole family could watch together. I don't remember "everything being made all right with a hug" each time out. Both DJ and Stephanie were grounded (hugglessly, mind you). And, on at least one occasion, Michelle was sent to the corner for continued misbehavior (an entire episode built around this, believe it or not). I am curious to see what would have become of the cast members had the show continued to the current day. Um, DJ would be married (maybe to Steve); Stephanie would have been killed off (in a Very Special Episode, to allow Jodie Sweeten to go to college, not because of audience or JTS site contributors' dissentiment with another of "TV's most annoying girls); and Michelle would meet her identical cousin (so that both Olsen twins would get to star in the show instead of alternating the role). Nicky and Alex would be 7 or 8 now and getting more lines and the adults continue as before, with everyone living as one big happy family. At least this was a decent show without sex being a major part of every plot, and the whole family could watch and learn from. That in itself merits "Full House" a recommended viewing.
When Jesse Cochran became Jesse Katsopolis, "Have mercy" was quite simply never the same!
This show was actually an Ok show when it first started and the girls were still young. But when Michelle grew up and started talking, that's when the show started to suck.
In my opinion the show jumped when the Tanners went to Disneyland, and Michelle cuts in front of Stephanie (she always gets her way, the little brat) and rubs the genie's lamp. The genie comes out of it so Michelle is princess for a day. I mean, how unrealistic is that? And just because the brat THINKS she's a princess, the whole world doesn't have to indulge her.
It just wasn't the same after D.J. got her hair cut short. It kind of lost it's early-90s flair.
Never did, it was wholesome and innocent throughout while the environment around us became increasingly corrupt. You people are all a bunch of bitter creeps. You can only wish you were on a long-running hit sitcom.
Just the musical intro to this show drives me nuts, I turned the channel as fast as I could! Bob Saget is an idiot, his other shows were bombs, too. And Mary Kate & Ashley, Oh, My God, don't get me started. John Stamos didn't do anything good after "Blackie" on General Hospital, And I can't stand to even look at the other uncle, or Rebbecca. The whole show...YUCK!!!!!!
No I am not nuts but take out the corny catch phrases and Full House is a pretty entertaing show but it jumped the shark when after the twins were born that forced them to be as good as michele which they couldnt be and that caused most of the storylines to be babyish,babies kill sitcoms.
This show definitely jumped shark when Jesse and Rebecca were the escorts at DJ's prom dance. I mean come on, weren't there any other parents who could escort the prom dance? Why is it that television can't leave a school event for just the children? Then there was a wacky and lame kid dressed up as a court jester on the show. What prom has a court jester? The goofy an awkward teen in the jester costume couldn't even have a name and had to go in the credits as "happy fun boy." Can we be a little less creative? The only brief moment of glory this show had was after a couple of seasons the executive producer was replaced with Warren and Rinsler. The shows actually got watchable for a period of time.
When every decision they made was based on "being there" for the girls - including not selling their house for twice what it's worth because Michelle would be sad if everyone didn't live together anymore.
That episode when uncle Jessie married his girlfriend and had kids...instead of moving out they suddenly realized that there was a hole extra floor in the house where they were living. It was so cheap I mean granted the other kids weren't cute anymore and the Olson Twins couldn't support baby jokes anymore but for cryin' out loud who finds an extra floor in their house that was never mentioned before!!! It was stupid I was 12 when this happened and I gave up on sitcoms after that!
At first, Jesse was this tough, motorcycle/rock and roll guy. then, as the show went on, we learn that he's very sensitive and insecure, and worried about many tough isssues in his life. He was like a woman.
Day One! Man this is the WORST SHOW EVER IN THE HISTORY OF T.V.!!!!!!! Honestly it has all the bad elements: Bob Saget, John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron, Jody Sweetin, Nick, and Alex, gay ass music, and the worst ones of all: THE OLSEN TWINS!!!!! Christ i'm about to puke my f*cking ass off now about the whole thing!!! I mean c'mon people! Didn't it seem obvious that a show that takes place in San Francisco, with 3 guys living together, raising 3 daughters of the one ******, then later have one get married, have kids of their own, then have the sickening olsen twins on the show seem gay? Yes it did! Think for a sec.. 3 guys living together. Ring a bell? No doubt Danny and the other guys were gay. Probably spent a lot of time in the linen closet with Danny bangin Joey whom is baging Jesse in what would be the most frightening kind of you know what. And it was 3 way sex too! I mean you knew they did it with eachother when you saw Danny smile like that at everyone. Bottom Line: Day one Shark Jumping for this gay ass show!
This show jumped when Stephanies 13 yr old friend Gia started wearing tight shirts and showed that she had larger breasts then Becky. And the fact that none of the 3 guys on the show tried to bang Gia.
Who the hell thinks this show is funny? The Olsen Twins suck at acting, and I seriously doubt that the father is straight. How come Becky came out of the closet AFTER she and Jesse got married? She should have just revealed that she was a *** before the wedding so that the damn fruity, 2% milk, goody-two-shoes family didn't have to put up with her 24/7. She also must be anti-male because of the way she treats her husband. Why does Joey think he's funny? If he does that "Cut it out" thing with his hands again, I'll go insane. DJ was an ugly *** bitch, Jesse never did and never will get laid in his life, and Stephanie and Michelle were whiny little brats. On the final episode, they should have had the family join a religious cult and commit a mass suicide at a meteor shower. Why the **** did I watch this jack****?
When EVERY single problem on the show ended with a hug...Stephanie even drove the car through the f'ing kitchen when she was 8, and they were okay with that! Not to mention that Michelle's catch phrases ("You got it dude!" "Aw nuts!") got real old real fast, but that didn't seem to stop the writers from making her say that till she was like 9!
I've been thinking about this for a long time, but "Full House" really jumped the shark the day they discovered the Olsen Twins. Originally found by the show's talent scouts and used as a remedy for a tired child star who, because of their ego, doesn't want to work, the Olsen Twins played the same girl, Michelle, on the show. Later shows would use the same remedy of using twins. Since "Full House" was, and still is, a bad show formally on ABC and its "TGIF" lineup and now can be seen on TBS along with the (occasionally) not so bad "Cosby Show" of the eighties and early nineties and the horrendous "Family Matters," one would expect the Olsen Twins to apparently disappear into oblivion. I, however, am shocked that even today, there are still "Mary-Kate and Ashley's (put title of video series here)," Mary-Kate and Ashley jewerly, a Mary-Kate and Ashley magazine and cartoon series...you name it, the Olsen Twins are in the process of making it for pre-teens who worship Carson Daly as God. And countless others and myself have to suffer because of the worst casting mistake ever made: casting the Olsen Twins as Michelle, which never made sense in the first place.
When they would play the moving music, you knew it was time for the serious "You broke my trust, you have to earn it back, but I still love you" minute of the show - The most nauseating, predictable, and unrealistic part of this awful sitcom. No matter what the girls would do, by the end of a half hour they Bob Saget or one of the other two idiots would forgive them and recite some sentimental bull**** about the breaking of trust. I honestly wished DJ or Steph would have just told their dad to "f-ck off"
I think another poster put it very well when they outlined the basic format of EVERY SINGLE EPISODE! One of the girls has a problem, they don't tell anyone about it, Danny finds out, gets mad, overreacts, then there's a heartwarming moment at the end, complete with sappy music and/or the phrase "Every since your mom died..."
Those damn twins were the enema bag, their haircuts were the acid it was filled with!
Michelle was the most annoying, obnoxious brat ever to hit prime time. And Bob Saget was the most annoying, unfunny human to ever walk the face of the earth. What a combination, eh? How did they ever amass so much talent in one show?
I know a lot of you didn't like this show—and I can see why—but it really wasn't THAT bad. It had it's moments. There were a few really funny jokes and a lot of corny ones that were funny if you were hearing them for the first time. I think I've seen every episode of this show, and it baffles my mind that a show in which they meet the Beach Boys 4,000 times, start junior high in 6th AND 7th grade, change last names, get makeovers before every school year, and go back to high school after graduating in a flashback could last for 8 seasons. But I think I know why it did. People like to watch shows like this as a retreat from real life. Maybe people don't wish they were in the "Tanner family," but they sure are fun to watch. If I had to pick a point at which Full House jumped the shark, I would have to say it was when Steve left. I really didn't realize how much he added to the show until he left. It was satisfying and cool to see him return for the last episode.
Has there ever been a worse show in the history of television than Full House? How on earth did this show last 8 years? Where to start? Bob Saget is painfully unfunny. As is Dave Coulier. John Stamos is painfully untalented. And the actress who played his wife - painfully average looking. Finally, the Olsen twins - painfully not cute. One word sums up this show - PAINFUL.
Full House. When the director said "action" immediately prior the taping of the first episode. To be charitable, this show was horrible. Notwithstanding, I watched it each week only because I was intrigued that it something called a situation comedy, never, not once, made me laugh!
I tune into this show every chance I get because, quite frankly it is funny. Funny because it's so bad. I saw an episode yesterday where Kimmy secretly pierced Stephanie's ears against the wishes of Danny Tanner. Well, Stephanie's ears get infected and Danny gets pissed, but they talk it out and hug. There is at least one of these "warm fuzzies" in every show, and at that moment, the audience "awwwwwwwws". So predictible.There are so many shark moments there are too many to count, but I'll name a few. Joey playing hockey..Ben Stein appears on the show..Danny doesn't like DJ drinking coffee...that stupid episode where they get stuck on that plane to New Zeeland..A very special episode where DJ doesn't eat for several days (she could have standed to lose a few pounds..let her diet for chrissakes!)...I could go on for hours! I must be sick because I watch this show at least once a week!
i think this show is just an inane, uninteresting piece of smoldering garbage. ok, first of all, DJ was fat and ugly...how did she manage to get all those guys to like her? and why was she popular? kimmy was just a disgrace to humanity...can we say "Calista Flockhart"?! danny tanner was the spawn of satan...who's dad is a clean fiend and always has time to sit down with his kids and chat?! jesse was ok. joey was just an imbecilic scrap of a man who told the stupidest jokes ever...how are impressions of Popeye and Bullwinkle funny? Michelle was as irritating as a cat hair in the eye, and Stephanie was a daft excuse for a human being...i HATED how she always said "how rude"! and the storylines were completely unrealistic. if i did half the things the tanner daughters did, people would still be searching for my head.
What's amazing is this show (and so many other of the 80s "family shows") is how many categories they jump from the beginning. This show had "A Very Special..." (nearly each episode) "Special Guest Star"/"Singing" (the Beach Boys) "Death" (mom, a priori) "Puberty" (all of the 3 girls) "I do"/"Birth"(John Stamos and the other chick who used to cohost the fake TV show) and even "Hair Care" (the eldest cuts it short). 8 categories. That has to be some kind of reccord. Hold it, if John and his new wife had kids, that means THEY DID IT!- that makes nine!
I introduce a new category that several people have skirted around. Comet was FAR AND AWAY the most talented member of the cast. And this says even less about the cast than you'd think because Comet is a Golden Retriever!! You want proof he's the talented one? OK. The one and only, absolutely honest, sincere line written in the entire series was written for the dog. The episode is everybody has a secret on someone else, and they're all worried that person will find out. The scene shifts to the back yard where they're having a cook-out. The camera shifts from one person to the next as you hear their thoughts. "I hope Jesse doesn't find out I wrecked the car.""I wonder if Dad knows I put the hole in the wall." And on it goes, finally to the dog. "GEE, I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD DROP A HAMBURGER." Game, set, match to Comet.
This show made events like nuclear war look enticing. I mean, it gave Doris Day diabetes from the sacchrine pouring out of it's orifices. Yes, I know, I should take it all as meaningless jest. BUT YOU CAN'T ACCEPT KITCSH IF IT WAS DONE WITH SERIOUS INTENT!! THEY WERE ACTUALLY TRYING AND IT WAS THIS BAD! Surely, America hasn't done that many bad things to deserve this rancid piece of rat innards. We can't blame the Olsen Twins for the first couple of seasons: they didn't know they were the daughters of the antichrist yet. Stephanie was a ****** 6 year old who had the same catchphrases (how rude! how rude....made me want to run the prude down and say "excuse me, i didn't have my pinky up!") Candice Cameron....i think we can safely assume it was all nepotism. Look at Kirk. Look at the shows they were on; like there was a contest on which show could make america vomit first. Why did everybody pick on Kimmy; like 3 gay guys raising (molesting too - notice how everybody hugged and touched and the children were stone slient and grave...gave me chills) 3 kids with a dead mom (like they all had the same mom) with no real jobs and one with a bug up his rectum 3 feet long, one who singing made us all bleed from the ears, and one who was as funny as cancer (or maybe that was every character...or maybe they all caused cancer) should be making fun of a white trash ******. it wasn't funny. It wasn't cute. It was Disney's way to control the world. Why couldn't they have all had a special final episode where they join a cult, the guys cut up their shriveled nads, then everyone eats the applesauce and await the great comet/spaceship/Elvis in the sky. Okay, I'm done. P.S. the second set of twins made me turn to heroin.
The only thing worse than this show would be a show with the lame Bob Saget showing nothing but home videos. Augh, can you imagine what kind of hell that would be like?
By far the most annoying member of this frighteningly irritating cast was Joey, with his lame cartoon impersonations and his woodchuck hand puppet (?!!) What a loser. I mean, this guy was supposed to be a big animation buff, yet in the blind date episode, he didn't even know that the Bullwinkle Show was first called Rocky and His Friends and later re-titled. The exchange between him and his date went something like this: (Joey does his stupid Bill Scott impression) Woman: Oh, so you like Bullwinkle too? Joey: Yeah, but not Rocky and Friends, the original Bullwinkle show. (They both do bad impressions of the characters.) Call me picky, but if a child of the '90s like me knows this stuff, than Joey Gladstone, a supposed cartoon expert who actually grew up with the show, should know it. End of rant
It amazes me how many people can criticize the show so vehemently. If it was that bad then why were you even watching it? It was a family show that depicted family values and the importance of getting along with your family. If you expected anything more you were a fool. Mary-kate and Ashley Olsen are megastars and are going to be billionairesses, whether you like them or not there's nothing you can do about it. They have tremendous support from the networks and now have their own fashion line. What other role models exist on television for young girls or teenagers? Deny it all you want but any parent would be nothing but proud if their daughters grew up to be anywhere close to as successful as Mary-kate and Ashley Olsen. All you critics need to get yourselves lives.
Life in the Tanner household is what life in the bowels of hell must be like. I always wanted to see a director's cut of the show, where Jesse battles a heroin addiction, Stephanie gets an abortion and Joey becomes a famous gay S/M porn star (with his early 90s mini-mullet). The touching music at the end would be awesome when everyone hugs and loves each other despite the fact that they are degenerate freaks. By the way, I have never seen an uglier baby than Michelle. Danny Tanner's naked ass would have been more attractive, and that's saying a lot.
All you Full House fans say it's a good kids show? Here's the truth- this show came out when I was 8 years old, and even then I knew it was a flaming piece of crap! I didn't even watch it to fit in! 'Joey' is hands down the most annoying character on TV ever. The kids can be excused 'cause they were young, probably kidnapped and owned by the studio, but oh my god that guy was annoying! This show made "Saved By the Bell' look like Masterpiece Theatre, for christs sakes!
Joey isn't funny. He did the same fricken' jokes 20x per show! The Cut-It-Out! and Pop-eyes Huckuckuckuckuck laugh... didn't that break copyrights?!? He wore goddam scooby-doo **** and got pissed when the family pointed it out! Remember the 'stolen Car' episode??? Bull****
I honestly think the Olsen Twins are an even better harbinger of a bad show than Ted McGinley. I was like nine when this show was on, and even then I knew it was going to suck a fat nut. I knew it even better when my sister got obsessed with it. I think the youngest girl, played by the twins, was the most unbearable TV character I've ever been exposed to. Cute is not cute if you have them keep doing their same old tired act years after any normal kid would stop talking like that. And while I think the adults were all f***heads, to be sure, I'm kind of sick of people saying they were gay just because there were some male roommates on this show. How many of you guys who said that had male roommates in college or when you struck out into the real world? Mind you, I'm not defending this show, I'm just sick of people accusing any men on TV who live together of being gay.
This show never jumped the shark. This show has always jumped the shark. Why it is still running on the air is pointless, futie and goddamn annoying. Those damn punch lines like "have mercy" and "how rude" piss me off. If I wanted to see a bunch ******** problems that get solved at the end of the show to the recorded sound "awwwwwww" I'd remove myself from my TV and take a look at my family life.
From reading the comments on this site, a lot of people seem hostile towards Full House. Well, I've seen every episode of Full House when it was on ABC and I thought this show was done perfectly. Yeah, it's a little unrealistic at times, but I still tuned in every week to laugh at their highs and cry at their lows. I thought the show could've lasted another year or so, but the producers made a smart choice to end it when they did. No doubt I'll be tuning into this show when it appears on Nick on Nite in 2012.
This show JTS whenever one of those Olsen brats uttered anything and the audience went AAAAHHHH! One of those rare examples where even the studio audience is shark food.
This is just an interesting tidbit I found from a Full House site. "I always thought my character was gay," says Saget. "He lived with two guys in San Francisco and dust-busted all the time. He sure didn't date enough for my taste. I kept asking, 'When is he going to get the girl?' "
This show jumped the shark when Uncle Jesse and Rebecca had the two twin boys towards the end of the show.
ok, I don't know what's wrong with all these people. This show was amazing. The corniness is what made it so great. Come on...I'm not ashamed to admit that I loved it, and still watch it.
Stephanie and her pals covering an Ace of Base tune at the Smash Club was a little much. Those individuals prone to spontaneous vomiting should steer clear of this particular episode.
Best pre-teen show ever, of course it was corny but it wasn't too be taken seriously and I'm afraid some of you did. It wasn't that funny but it was cute enough and never did anyone any harm and Kimmy Gibbler was the funniest person on the show, anyone who can put down bob saget deserves an award.
All right, I'll admit that when I was little this show held a special place in my heart. Probably because it's the closest American tv has gotten to portraying a gay family (Oh, and to the ******* who said it was 'impossible for three straight men to live together in San Fransisco, I must remind you that gay people are everywhere, and I doubt that there's a significantly high concentration of gays in San Fransisco then anywhere else. They're just more visable.), so I felt I could relate to kids who had more then one dad. Then my father's forbid me and my brother to watch it, because they thought people were getting 'too mean', and didn't want us to turn into little *******s. It wasn't about a year ago that I watched it again, mostly for nostalgia's sake. And I was embarressed to ever have liked that peice of crap! While I don't recall a lot of the things that happened in past episodes, the one I saw had one of the kids shoplifting or something. My first thought was 'No wonder kids today are out of control... There are no consequences for their actions.' Now, my parents weren't strict, but I know damn well that if I had not only stolen, but tried to hide it from my parents, I would have probably gotten punished severely. Also, the writing was horrible, the charecter's were as shallow as a puddle, and annoying to boot. Plus, one thing that bothered me both as a child, and now: Perhaps thats the real reason they had all those people living there, it was the only way to make the rent!
Just when you thought that it was safe to watch TV again. Damn you, Full House! The sad thing is that even though this show is a living, breathing pile of dung, I watch it (while cruelly mocking it) a lot. Those stupid little boy twins with their girlish hair. Uncle Jesse was such a freak. In the 1st season he was normal but by the end he could have passed in a freak show! Why didn't anyone snap and shave his head while he slept? And he sang ALL the time! Not to mention the little princess Michelle. Dear lord. What a brat. She should be kicked in the throat. I hope that everybody hates that child. And I agree, everyone was always picking her up and kissing her and hugging her and such. And uncle Joey on Star Search?! Yeah right. Gimme a break. He was as funny as a horse with a broken leg (both may end up shot, I might add). How he got 4 stars, I'll never know. Sheesh. DJ was stupid and Steve was a doofus. Why would he go out with her in the first place?! She was a stupid prude! I agree, a lot of popular guys will want a girl who puts out. Stephanie should shut her stupid mouth about How Rude. It may have been cute for the first time, but NOT AFTER THAT!!!! And Danny was Martha Stewart trapped in a man's body. I saw an episode that showed him IN THE BATHTUB with the little boy twins!!! Sick! And Joey played hockey, Jesse's friend come to town and dares him to ride on the roof of some building, which Rebecca flips out about. Stupid show, and Rebecca was the only decent one. Sheesh. Got me all worked up...
This show jumped in the concept phase and only plummeted through scripting, casting, and filming. The fact that this show had such perpetuity is proof positive that there is evil in this world. Did someone who posted above actually refer to this show as "amazing"? Unless she is referring to the HORROR of this show which IS more than simply amazing, it's f***ing breathtaking - the only way that this show could "amaze" is in the same way that an infant is "amazed" by the mobile that spins above it's crib. People who are "amazed" by this show would necessarily be drooling as they watched it. Perhaps they've never owned a TV or seen a TV show and are "amazed" by the technology itself? Maybe one of the actors on the show is wearing an identical piece of clothing to the person who is watching that episode and has therefore "amazed" that person with the coincidence? Perhaps John Stamos looks like the person who broke into that "amazed" person's trailer and stole all their food stamps? I'm grabbing at straws here, folks, but I cannot conceive of what could be considered "amazing" (in a positive way) about this show. I can't imagine anyone watching this show to the end, turning off their TV, and sitting in stunned silence as they try to wrap their head around the "amazing" thing they've just seen. Let's face it, this show is striving to be the picture in the dictionary beside the word "vacuous". Family pets would turn off this show in disgust if they only had opposable thumbs. The show "Small Wonder" is slightly more of an acute insult to the human legacy by reason that it's contempt for itself and it's audience is even more naked and rough than "Full House", but "Full House" was more insidious, successful, and did more damage and insult over a greater span of time. They will eternally battle for the mantle of history's most evil television program.
Full House really jumped the shark when Michelle and Stephanie grew up. Michelle was so cute...when she didn't talk and Stephanie's "How rude just got annoying when she became older and every epsiode had a major crisis and was sloved and that damn hearfelt mushy music came on.
When the Beach Boys came over and started singing Kokomo with them...what the hell? And then the Beach Boys invited them to the concert and they sung Kokomo with them onstage? First of all it was a stupid story line and it really ruined the Kokomo for me, one Bob Saget sings the song twice..songs become useless.
It was a first episode jump. My mom made me watch this overrated piece of drivel since I was four. Everything about this show sucks. It sucked during the first season, it sucked even harder from that point on. Whoever thought that the wit of Bob Saget and the "Cut-it-out" schtick of Dave Coulier should undergo shock therapy. All the child actors on the show were stiffer then cardboard, and the additon of DJ's boyfriend and best friend to the cast made the show even more nauseating. Every element of the show was crappy. Its cancellation in 1995 was a mercy killing.
At the time this was on, I thought it was one of the dumbest long-running shows ever made. Nowadays, however, there are so many dumb shows on T.V., it's hard to choose only one. I watched only two episodes of "Full House". The second time was only because I walked in and my roommate was already watching it. In the first episode, the oldest girl was around 11 but she was spewing psychobabble that an adult obviously wrote for her to say. "Daddy, I have been getting in touch with my feelings just now..." The second one I saw introduced a brand new storyline from out of left field 25 minutes into the episode. And I have never understood what the big deal is about the Olsen twins. Why aren't their 15 minutes up by now?
When this show was thought up and they decided for Bob Saget which coincidentally rhymes with.... Yea you get the idea. who is to me the driest most unfunny person on the television ever
Full House is one of my favorite shows, and not because it was the best show around. It was innocent and funny, but it also had its serious moments. It was goodhearted, and it wasn't full of the heavy stuff that wouldn't appeal to a younger audience. Really, I am writing this to the genius who said that DJ never kissed a boy on the show. WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN??? When she was with Steve, that was practically all they did, when he wasn't eating! When the family first met Steve, it was when he and DJ were getting off the plane from France, and what were they doing? KISSING! And, what makes you think her real name was DJ? Don't you know anything? I don't know how many times they actually mentioned it, but DJ was short for Donna Joan.
This show sucked royally from the start. EVERYTHING about it sucked from the premise (3 guys living together in San Francisco and they're NOT gay, yeah sure...) to the craptactular syrupy theme music to the annoying as hell characters (prissy father, hair-obsessed Elvis freak, a "comedian" about as funny as crib death) to the idiotic formula of the show (1. kids do something stupid. 2. Danny makes it all better at the end of the show by "punishing" them and saying he still loves them. 3. The studio audience lets out a flatulent "AHHHHHHHHH!!!"). The only thing more shocking that this crap got on the air was how long it STAYED on. If ever there are trials for crimes against television, the cast of this show will be star defendants.
Sweet lord, DJ drinks COFFEE? Oh my. And then Danny "Cleanliness Moron" Tanner suggests she drink CHOCOLATE MILK instead! I've been drinking coffee since I was twelve years old, for crying out loud. Oh, and Steve was popular? Give me a break. What an idiot. To bad he didn't snap and steal all there money and buy food. Then they would have to live in a cardboard box on the side of the road, and Mr. Bear would be sent away to work, sending away his paycheck to the family so they could buy bread and butter...ah the visions...
I'm real tired of all the Bob Saget bashing! Was he awful on this show? Yes. Was he awful on America's Funniest Home Videos? Oh yeah. Is he typecast now because of these career choices? Absolutely. But I was a fan of Bob Saget when he used to do stand-up and if anyone saw him do his actual act they would have a whole different opinion. His stand up was adult, totally off the wall and seriously deranged. The fact that it was coming from such a white bread looking guy made it even more funny. If he got a tv vehicle where he could showcase that side of him everyone would know. Saget has been saddled in shows with horrible writing and probably been pretty happy to take home the fat paychecks that came with it. But the tv persona that everyone knows and constantly bashes him for is NOT this guy's real talent. Check out his SNL hosting appearance when he made some very disturbing yet hilarious observations about the Olsen twins.
Well,I did actually liked the show but I hated th olsen twins on there.I mean Michelle always got her ways even if it was for a good reason.Like when they wanted to move but Michelle didnt because that was her home and When uncle jesse wanted to move but he didnt because of Michelle.To the point now,the shoe jumped when D.J. broke up with steve actually one they "grew up" and Have u ever noticed that The olsen twins were always in the first scene in every show.I still watch the show but I hate that the olsen twins are on there they should of replaced her or gotten a new actor to play her.
I'd like to hitch Danny Tanner to the back of my pick-up and drag him down a gravel road for making me endure years of this ****! I hated Uncle Joey, too. Everytime he opened his mouth to do that ****ing Bullwinkle voice, you can bet my blood was boiling. (By the way, whose idea was it to give Uncle Joey and Kimmie matching mullets?) As for D.J. - there's no way a manatee like D.J. could land a man like Steve in real life, especially if she's not the type to spread her legs. Everytime I saw the two of them together on screen, it pissed me off because I knew in real life a guy like Steve wouldn't even give the time of day to that sea mammal. Oh, and a personal message to Michelle(s) - Don't ever let me hear you say, "Don't worry, be happy" again. Everytime you uttered that damn catchphrase, I wanted to put my hands around your neck and shake you until your little brain became scrambled like an egg. Stephanie and Uncle Jesse were tolerable in small doses as long as they were on screen together during the early years. However, as Stephanie outgrew the "How Rude" years and straighted her hair, she became as disturbing as the rest of the cast. The only tolerable episode of the entire run was when Uncle Jesse broke both his arms. I remember Uncle Joey having to help him piss and all I could think about was how much I envied Uncle Joey for getting to hold John Stamos' dong. Oh, the mental images that my dirty little mind conjured up. I thought there should have been a follow-up episode titled "Uncle Jesse Gets A Hernia Examination." I had to smoke a cigarette after the broken arms episode. Hell, I've got to smoke a cigarette now just thinking about it!
Full House was the Evel Knievel of show-jumping. The bottom line is that it was insulting to anyone over the age of eight. And don't hand me that "wholesome entertainment" thing; wholesome doesn't have to equal condescending. The Tanners make the Bradys look like the Osbournes, they're so syrupy-sweet, they're intolerable. The plot lines are outrageous, the kids are unbelievable, everything about this show was annoying. "Uncle Jessie can you and your band play at my school dance?" Ever see that episode? DJ and her friends rocking out to Beach Boys-type music...yeah right. Did Jessie ever play any other kind? He couldn't get an adult crowd so he opens up a club geared at pre-teens --scary. "Dad we don't have chaperones for the prom, could you please fill in, pleeeease?" "Let's all clean the house together!" What planet were these kids from? Joey, who told jokes for a living in the dining room --I'm guessing 'cause I never actually saw him leave the house-- was the least funny of them all. How many times do we have to hear Bullwinkle and Popeye impressions for pete's sake? The sign of a good show is its ability to transcend all ages; you watched when you were younger, and when you watch now you can fondly remember some episodes. Not the case with Full House. There's nothing comforting about it, nothing memorable. It was just a show to plant yourself (or your kids) in front of because there was nothing offensive about it. It was fluff.
I read nearly everyone's comments on this show and want to comment on them. Michelle was not that annoying or ugly for crying out loud. She was cute except in the eyes of people who had bratty kid sisters, and I never had one. I don't recall the last two seasons well but did notice that D.J. and Stephanie both had Bad Girl friends and they were such goody-goodies that....viewers -- like y'all -- who hate the family are probably just jealous because they wish they were in a family like that! "Jesse & the Tanners" make you sick because you crave a wholesome, loving, loyal family, dawg. It's a fantasy, so what! Moreover, the actors were not completely talentless. They did their jobs just fine, except maybe those dumbass twin boys. Two more bits: I HATE Joey's CONTRIVED impressions, and how the characters always wound up on stage performing in front of crowds.
I thought this show jumped after the twins were born. After this they made Jesse stupid. He was always this tough,cool guy and then it was like he knew nothing. He dressed like a slob most times. It was like they turned him into a Vinny from Welcome Back Kotter. Then to many episodes centered around Michelle. BORING. She was a BRAT. He was a five year old girl acting like she was 30. Always giving the guys advice and they took it. I also thought the last episode was STUPID. The last season should have been called MICHELLE TANNER RULES THE HOUSE. I enjoyed this show the first couple of seasons,even though it was a litte predictable,it was fun to watch. But at the end it just got really dumb.
This show jumped the shark when the adults began to "grow up." In the beginning, the three adults were quirky, with foibles that had a definitely infantile flavor, e.g., Jesse's silly Elvis obsession, Joey's regressed goofiness, and Danny's obsessive-compulsiveness (that kind of anxiety makes an adult seem like a frightened/fussy child). It was a topsy-turvy world in which three "adults" had banded together to raise children --- but the adults were more childish than their young charges. This was the source of the humor. Also, in the earliest seasons, some of the writing was actually witty and wicked. Furthermore, there was one killer episode --- the one in which Mr. Bear gets tossed out as part of a major spring cleaning. This was an opportunity to explain what had happened to Mom Tanner. Honestly, I am not pulling your leg, that episode dealt in a very genuine way with loss, transitional objects, and other rather deep psychological issues. I dare you to watch it without being touched. Regrettably, the show began to sink as the kids grew older --- forcing the adults to assume more traditional adult roles, e.g., Jesse gets married and has kids of his own, all the adults get good-paying glamour jobs instead of scraping by. The show got preachy and a lot of the wacky fun evanesced. In the beginning, I watched the show with my 8-year-old daughter and actually enjoyed it. By the time she was 11, we were both making fun of the stupid plot developments and overall lack of originality.
When I was a little kid, I enjoyed Full House. But I look at it now, and I see nothing but a show that has stolen from other shows..... Case in point: Three's Company: Have 3 people move in to "help each other out." Brady Bunch: Is it me or was this the similar thing where the whole friggin family was always happy? They also "worked out their problems through love." Not saying that's a bad thing, but it was nauseating the way they did it? Happy Days: Uncle Jessie....a poor man's Fonzie. Hell, I think Scott Baio was featured in 3 Shark Jumping Episodes off of sitcoms! Family Ties: DJ's beau and Mallory's Beau. Though different in personality, same kind of person but I think Nick had more sense of humor. The boyfriend dads love to hate. Cosby Show: Stephanie=Rudy but not as funny. Plus, Sandra and Becky having twins. Hmmm..... Least they made sure the babies grew up and not age 6 years later after one season (Family Ties) And last, Family Matters: Gibbler was a Female Urkel without the humor. I was amazed that this show lasted for 8 years. It wouldn't last 8 episodes if it was shown today.
Okay, I don't think this was the absolute worst show in the world. For one thing, people, making fun of these people's looks on the show is pretty immature. That and the fact that some homophobic comments are being made and that some of you say that some of the things the kids did on this show would have gotten them a beating from you guys (if you will recall, in the episode where Stephanie drove the car into the kitchen, Danny DID say towards the end of the episode that she would be punished for what she did-she'd be grounded and all that, okay, so it's not like she got off scot-free)...sheesh, if I ever have kids someday they aren't going anywhere near you guys! I liked this show when I was little, now after seeing it again, it's lost some of its charm, but not because of the lame reasons some of you have come up with (the way the people looked, their sexual preferences). However, some people on here made some good points as to when this show started having problems. I thought Michelle was cute as a baby, but as she got older she got to be a real brat and developed an attitude, which drove me nuts. And those catchphrases-how many times did Michelle HAVE to say "You got it, dude", or Stephanie saying, "How rude!"? What all of a sudden made the creators of shows feel that their characters on their shows had to have some catchphrase of some sort? And I also agree with the people who complained about Jesse's singing. Did he HAVE to sing practically every episode? And that Mr. Woodchuck routine got old very quickly, too. Those are my main complaints with this show. It's not the worst show ever created, but it's not the best show either.
The first few seasons were excellent, cynics notwithstanding. I appreciated the way the adults took the children's problems seriously. Someone mentioned the Mr. Bear episode, which was beautiful. "Uncle" Joey (as a learned contributor to this forum called him) & his sweet-hearted comedy, Jesse's music, & Danny's caring were much in evidence, & the kids were all entertaining and adorable. It jumped the shark when it ceased to be a family show and became a children's show. I would pinpoint it as the two-part episode when Becky gave birth. Danny & Joey in cartoon costumes & Jesse rendered entirely goofy by medication, while Michelle debated whether or not she would consent to become five(!)... The Olsens began to overwhelm the show, the writers trying to exploit their popularity. The results were disastrous, & the last season almost unwatchable. I liked Danny Tanner but I don't like Bob Saget, with his interminable "riffing", always slighting the only worthwhile work he ever did, afraid that someone somewhere might not understand that he is NOT a nice & wholesome person but rather a wondrously edgy comedian. John Stamos is guilty of the same thing to a lesser degree, but occasionally he remembers to acknowledge that FH was an honorable endeavor. Dave Coulier I have never heard a bad word from or about, except here of course. I now return you to the nastiness & name-calling!
This show jumped the shark from day one. I don't know how it stayed on the air so long. I have never been able to stand shows had kids on them being overly cute. Michelle was overly cute, and it made the show sickening and unbearable for me to watch.
The show was a good family show. The people who bash it are bitter because they probably got beat as kids or come from single parent families :) Sure, Sagat was a geek but all tv dads are supposed to be the butt of jokes, like Carl Winslow, Cosby, Homer Simpson, Tim Taylor. Jesse's character was fantastic as a smooth ladies man and Joey was good as comic relief. The kids got better as time moved on and the show featured a moral to every episode. As for Danny (Sagat) forgiving people constantly, it is a nice alternative to beating up his girls. While the show's quality slipped slightly when Nikki and Alex were born and after Jesse got married, it still remained a high quality family show.
I'll have to admit I loved this show only because i grew up watching this show as a kid. But now as i think of it every episode did the same thing......1.)IT starts of by showing the main charater of that episode. 2.) That character has or gets a problem. 3.) Trys to fix it themself or cover it up. 4.) Their problem gets out.5.) THey get in trouble adn /or they get yelled at.6.) Then the cheesy music comes on adn they talk and everything is peachy-keen again (isn't that wonderful??) oh palease. This show was corny, gay and anything but realistic.
I was never a big fan of the show to begin with but the show JTS when some rich dude came to their house and offered to buy it for a million dollars or something. The family was all excited but after a series of crappy flashbacks they decide to stay. What bullcrap! Did Jesse and Becky plan to live in that attic forever? The same with Joey in the basement!
Jesse's last name! Hello? Then one episode his name is really Hermis! Where did his parents go? They were in the first 3 seasons! 1st episode danny was a slob!!!!!!!!!! I will make a show and characters will stay. Names will stay grandparents will stay too.
This show stunk from day one. It didn't completely stink, it had a few good moments, but it just really wasn't that entertaining. It was always the same thing every single episode, with the annoying music and life lesson at the end of the every episode! That got BORING! It did have some really good acting though, and that neighbor of there's, I forget her name, she was hilarious!!!
When they let E.J. on there to babysit all those poor kids, that's when things really started to get out of hand. I mean, everyone was in the know as far as what E.J's motives were for taking the babysitting job in the first place EXCEPT for Danny, Joey and Jesse. Hell, even Becky tried to let them know what was up with E.J's background. And when E.J. first came waddeling through the door, bags in hand, and before wild audience applause and uttered the now classic line of, "So these are the kids I'll be screw..I mean hump...I mean having many, many sexual encounters with while you jerks turn a blind eye," well, that was the end of family TV as we had known it. And it was only after season 4 when D.J. finally got up the courage to Joey, "E.J. wee wee hurts my bad place." What a mess...zow!!!
This show was pretty corny, but entertaining for the most part. Joey was a dork, and a lot of it was not very believable (there were some continuity errors and such). But the icing on the cake was the ******** last episode. Completely NOT believable and really stupid. They would have been better off doing a "highlights of the past years" show. Unlike what others think, I thought Kimmy was funny. But when she got drunk, that was kind of dumb. Stephanie was funny until she hit puberty. MK & A weren't that good of actresses.
This show jumped at every attempt Stephanie made to be cool once she made her way into junior high. One of the worst episodes was when she and Gia started that God-awful band singing Ace of Base's "I Saw The Sign". What a travesty! Even the infamous Zack Attack had enough originality to write their own songs. That Gia chick was a hot slut though. I remember wanting a piece when I was 11. I'm sure she made DJ feel insecure about her looks every time she entered the room.
Bob Saget. John Stamos. Dave Coultier. Candace Camerson. The Olsen twins. What show with a cast like this wouldn't be a piece of garbage right from day one? The only thing that kept Full House from being down in the ****ter with the Anna Nicole Show and Me and the Chimp (my two personal picks for worst shows of all time) was the performance of Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibler. Ms. Barber was a patch of unpolluted water in an ocean of toxic waste.
I agree with all the people who have stated that this show has done immeasurable damage to popular culture. Aside from simply being the least funny program ever, "Full House" was probably the worst offender in a string of shows which seemed to perpetuate the myth that "perfect" families like the Tanners -- mischievous but goody-goody kids, lots of love from the bumbling but well-intentioned parental units, not to mention enough righteous morality to give Mother Teresa the Hershey squirts -- were what all families aimed to be. Now, I am by no means a perfect human being nor was my upbringing without its mistakes, but there is no question in my mind that I would be more messed-up than I can possibly imagine had I grown up as disconnected from the real world or sheltered from actual human experience as the characters on this show were. Never in a million years would I let my own children watch this pained and twisted attempt at portraying utopia. Oh, and for the people who argue that this show was mere escapism and shouldn't be taken seriously... c'mon! You really mean to tell me that this show, with its insufferable dialogue/catch-phrases and oh-so-wacky premise, never ticked you off with its overall... cutesiness? If not, you're a much more tolerant human being than I am. I mean, they had about eighty people living in that house towards the end, all the adult characters had jobs as television personalities despite the fact that they had all the combined charm of a busted lawn chair, and the kids NEVER seemed to get punished for the tons of s**t they did! Remember when little Suzie or whatever her goddam name was drove a car through the house? Not only was the house completely repaired by the next episode, but the father told her he loved her and forgave her at the end without invoking any discipline at all. NOT IN MY HOUSE, HON!!! If I'd done anything like that when I was a kid, my mother woulda kicked my ass from then 'til five minutes from now. And would you believe that I still haven't even mentioned the most annoying thing about this show? (My cousin pointed this out to me recently and I was amazed to realize in hindsight how true it is)... did you ever notice how much ice cream this family always ate? I swear, every episode would have at least one scene where they were all sitting around the kitchen table eating ice cream! I WISH! By all logic, shouldn't each of them been as big as the house itself? Thanks for another dose of much-needed reality, Tanner family! THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE COULD BE PREPARING TO IGNITE THE WORLD INTO DAMNATION AND THE F**KING TANNERS WOULD STILL BE SITTING AROUND THE GODDAM TABLE POLISHING OFF THEIR S**TTY MOTHERF**KING ICE CREAM!
Multiple shark jumps of Full House: 1)Bob Saget himself 2)everything about Danny (there is not one good thing to be said about that Stringbean) 3)Jesse's character changes 4)storylines centered on Michelle from the 3rd season on, especially the last 3 seasons (6th,7th,8th) 5)lack of continuity (Jesse,Danny,storylines) 6)lack of punishment and morality when it's supposed to be a family show (compare it to Leave It To Beaver) 7)Jesse's fake rock'n'roll bag (The Rippers et al, and the Elvis thing, yeah right) 8)The Beach Boys stand around 9)Greg Williams' 9)Nicky and Alex What's good about Full House: 1)babylicious Lori Loughlin as... 2)the saucy and well-grounded Becky 3)Joey's silliness 4)Rusty, the note prank episode 5)Jesse's dream of being a total loser and reject 6)Stephanie is a hot pre-teen (8th season) 7)Gia and her big boobs 8)Kimmy's crudeness and near lewdness 9)the original story background (which lasted thru most of the 1st season but was most definitely replaced by one lame thing after another by the 3rd season)
I posted before, listing Full House's multiple shark jumps and also what's good about Full House. So I come back to list the best episodes of Full House: 1)Danny can't date and leave the girls home alone 2)Rusty's note prank causes confusion 3)Papouli comes and charms everybody and then dies in his sleep 4)The play are addicted to Michelles' play station game. These 4 episodes prove the talent of crew and cast when prodded in that direction. The Rusty episode is a rare in that there is only one plotline. Only in the play station episode does the secondary plotline take attention away from the main plotline.
I grew up watching Full House during the early nineties. The show is indeed very sweet and entertaining. At the same time, it was also full of marshy storylines;especially the scenes where Danny gives his lectures to his daughters which are played to the background of sentimental music.In my opinion, Full House jumped the shark during its' last season because the show had lost its' charm by then, the girl stars(especially Jodie Sweetin and the Olsen twins) were getting too old for their roles, and it was running out of humour(which led to repetition in storylines).
Okay, I'll admit I watched this show for a few years and enjoyed it (hey, I was in elementary school, and I do remember all the girls talking about DJ's first kiss at school the next day!) But even as a little kid, I thought it was dumb that Jesse and his whole new family moved into the attic. How unrealistic was that? The writers must have all been fired from decent shows, and settled in to write the cheesiest show in the history of television. The Olsen twins were too annoying for words, and did anyone ever really take a good look at them? They're not cute at all. Even as toddlers, they were very homely. It's like everyone just assumed they were cute, because they were on television, and never really looked at them. And speaking of twins, what was up with Jesse's babies? They had the longest hair of any little kids I've ever seen. I didn't think kids that young would have been around long enough to grow that much hair. They were nasty. The only part of the whole show that was funny was Kimmy Gibler, because she was so annoying to everyone else. And the horrible endings to EVERY show- father-daughter talk, or uncle-daughter talk, a lesson is learned, the music swells, and a big hug. UGH!
Several shark-jumping moments come to mind: 1. When Michelle got amnesia 2. When Becky and Jesse were going to move out, Michelle starts bawling and Jesse starts bawling and then they decide to stay (what newlywed couple would give up their own place and privacy just because the groom's spoiled niece turned on the waterworks?) 3. When Steph loses Mr. Bear 4. When Jesse sang "Forever" for the umpteenth time 5. Joey's pathetic impressions
when uncle jesse's hair was MBR. or Moussed Beyond Recognition for the tragically unhip. it was around the same time uncle joey's semi-mullet became insanely large. hard to believe this show lasted 3 presidencies (Reagan, Bush, Clinton) that is 7 seasons too long, people! FOOL HOUSE is more like it.
I love this show. Even though it first aired the year I was born, I love it. I reminds me of the goodness and hope still in the world despite the world being filled with cold, unfeeling clods.
From day one...The show sucked balls. Let's begin: First off, 3 single men during the late 80's to mid-90's living in San Francisco off all places would have no choice but to be gay...it could be made into a new law! Second, Greek-blooded kids don't have blonde hair n peaches-n-cream complexions. It's virtually impossible. Third, there is NO way in hell that Joey and Jesse could be THAT succesful and still be willing to live in a hous with another family just to help out Bob Faget raise his moronic, vomitrocious little "children". Fourth, why wouldn't Tanner boot Dave Coulier out of their lives?...all he did was live off their fridge and take up their basement space. Joey is the definition of a freeloader...not that there's anything wrong with freeloading...but when the freeloader is a lonely, failed comic who talks to puppets, well, come on folks, lets be realistic. Fifth, what the fck was up with Becky, falling in love with some greasy wannabe-rock star and putting up with the BS of the fact that they had to have sex in a room next door to a child's room...what are you, in high school? Jesus Christ a motel or something!!! Sixth, the walk-ons on the show were IDIOTS. Jesse's family...OVERLY intense. ALL of D.J.'s b/f's were either the most popular kid in school or some rich suck-up loser (ok well Nelson was the only one in that category). Steve was so charming...yeah...the way he talked out of his ass. Danny's "love-interests" would never fall into a relationship with a guy who wrekes of Lemon-Fresh and lives with his 2 "best buds" and has 4 obnoxious juvenile girls. The Beach Boys threatened their legend-status with cameos on this show...they were walking on THIN, lemme tell ya. Seventh, Michelle...seriously...take a good look at th Olsen twins...they are BUTT-UGLY. They look like some kind of mutuated, bug-eyed frog. Also, they were totally violated backstage by Coulier. The character of Michelle was okay in the beginning, but got so detestable as time went on. Their eyes got wider (to a creepy degree) and it was SO obvious that their lines were forced...almost like it was meant to be a joke-in-a-joke. Eighth, Danny wanted Candace Cameron SO bad. The way he looked ather and touched her when she was that old? And Joey wanted them ALL in the ass, even the guys...he'd take what he could get. Ninth, Stephanie DEFINATELY improved over the years. She stopped making stop making stupid remarks (How RUDE!). She also got hotter. Tenth, the kids in all were just too artificial, products of 80's-early 90's bubble gum garbage. the blonde hair, the blue eyes...c'mon. Eleventh, Cassopolis's kids were the exact opposite of him and Loughlin. They had hair down to the shoulders and seemed to grow 6 months every episode. And they lived in the fcking attic...who the hell would reside at the Tanner Inn just because of Michelle's devious tears? Twelfth, Joey's character frightened me to death. His stupid puppets and his depressing life in the basement. A comedian with the last name Gladstone just doesn't happen in real life. He yearns for some ***** to the point of eyeing the girls, ever so obviously. 13th, THE MULLETS! ARGH...how i LOATHE the mullet. Cassopolis had a major one going in the early eps, but cut out while he was some what ahead. Gladstone, however, made an ass of himself every week until about the 7th season with his blonde mull. 14th, the trouble the girls got into...it was ridiculous. Flying to Vegas to stop your best friend's wedding, backing the car into the house, COME ON! My kids would have been on their knees screaming for mercy for fcking me over like that. 15th, the employment of the characters. All on the verge of stardom. And even weirder, Becky and Danny lived in the same house! And they acted like it was no big deal!!! AUGH! 16th, and last, the endings and overdone synopsis of the espisodes. The cliched , synthesizer-keyboard theme-music to the ending scened where Danny would tell his girl's not to do it again, or he'd have his way with them (I wish)...I'm sorry, but I couldn't look at Bob Faget straight in the eye and pout...I would laugh my ASS off! One of the few good points to the series was Kimmy Gibbler. She always managed to annoy and piss off every member of the "family". Her stenchy feet, her bitchy and moronic remarks...it was classic. I wish Cassopolis and Gibbler would switch places...THAT would be a show! I always hoped that one day they would drop EVERYTHING and have a wild gang-bang and then the cast of Seinfeld would come in and take them out with sub-machine guns and hang their pulverized carcasses from the middle arch on the Golden Gate Bridge...maybe someday...A few questions I have are these: Who the hell was E.J., if there really was one? And WHY did we never see the inside of Danny Tanner's bedroom??? Weird...
For most of this run, this show was perfect cheese: so incredibly bad I couldn't help loving to watch it, kinda like a car wreck. The last season, however was just boring. I really hated Michelle though. I wanted to smash her annoying face into a brick wall. Did anyone else think Jesse's obsession with Elvis was a little too creepy?
I don't know why you are all saying negative things; I loved Full House when it was big, and still enjoy watching reruns when I get the chance. Sure, it wasn't that ideal to have a lack of discipline when Stephanie smashed the car, but it was still a funny show overall, and made me laugh when they toyed with the issue about explaining to little kids where babies come from!
This show never jumped the shark. It was probably the stupidest show to ever air on any television station in history, but it was classic. Full House never jumped because people loved to hate it. I used to watch this show weekly because it made my life seem okay. These people were ********. Let's examine the characters: Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) was a slob in the first episode. Suddenly, he has a history of being America's neatest male. Uncle "Bon Jovi" Jesse who's last name suddenly changed and his parents vanished. They were apparently abducted by alien beings. Uncle Joey was never funny. Not even for a second. The man needed major help upstairs. The girls were your typical 80's kids: whiny and bratty. And every episode, someone blew something up and then music played and Bob Saget had a heart to heart. One time, Stephanie drove the car in to the house. After a heart to heart, it was fine. This show continually got dumber but should have never been cancelled. It should have just aired until everyone died.
Does anyone remember the "Tommy Page" episode. That was a classic...I remember the song he sang to Steph.. 'Oooh Stephanie' "I understand that you're not ready for me in your life"... Classic read between the lines carnal knowledge going on there...Can't blame Tommy..we all know that Steph was developing into quite a piece of ass..Just like Kimmy Gibbler. She was a fine piece also. Any episode with the older Steph or Kimmy were pure masturbation material. Obviously DJ was always jealous of Kimmy because the "Gibbler" was obviously giving it up, AND DJ just wouldn't give up the trim... Steve hung around for the obvious...He was getting 'gobbled up' by the Gibbler. This show rocked.
For a sitcom that was supposed to promote MORALS, I seem to remember a 'Full House' episode where the TV talk show Bob Saget hosted had held some kind of a contest, and the winner was getting prizes- or going on a trip or something- and his DAUGHTERS happened to be holding the winning tickets! Even at that age I was disgusted by such hypocrisy.
It is clear to everyone, that Joey is the biological father of all of the children. All of the supposed parents had dark hair and brown eyes. Danny and Pam both had brown hair, but all of their children came out blonde hair blue eyed girls. Jesse and Becky both had dark hair and brown eyes, but Nicki and Alex are blonde hair blue eyed twins. The only adult that had blonde hair and blue eyes was Joey. Even their grandparents had dark hair! There is no other logical explanation of why all these kids don't have dark hair like their parents. If you're going to make a family show, at least try to make them look like a family. The only reason Joey lived there for free, was because he threatened Danny that he would tell the girls the truth! He slept with Pam because Danny is a pathetic loser who can't satisfy!
am i the only one that noticed the relationship between the crappiness of the show and the ever changing posters about dj's (and then stephanie's)bed? first it was george michael, then janet jackson, then NELSON!!! right there tells you this show was always destined to vault over the shark!
Full House was offensively bad from the beginning then got steadily worse and worse. For those of you who defend it as being a clean show that the whole family can watch, you're missing the point of the criticisms on this page. The writing was consistently putrid, the acting was worse than the worst elementary school class play. The "lessons" were simplistic and as such dangerous and irresponsible. The episode where DJ has bulemia is a classic example. How many little girls out there thought they were failures and weak and losers because they couldn't just kick the puking habit like DJ? Probably a lot. As several posters have pointed out, this show was aimed at young kids... young, impressionable kids. It's bad enough that the show stayed on the air for so long, but it's morally reprehensible and irresponsible that they were allowed to tackle any issue more serious that remembering to eat your vegetables. I'm all for shows for the whole family, but only if they are quality. Full House, Family Matters, Different Strokes and that whole TGIF cauldron of drivel are not quality. Kids and families deserve better.
This show was nothing more than a TV ripoff of Three Men and a Baby. To say that it jumped from Day One is to go back to that movie, because the producers admitted they stole the concept. Almost everyone that has voted has made comments about puberty or very special... so although this show sucks now and forever, the movie was okay (marginally--but Tom Selleck is hot) so there.
Let's be honest, why did "Full House" survive more than one season. Was it the original and thought provoking scripts? Was it Bob Sagat's wit and charm? HAH! The show survived because people thought the Olson Twins were cute. I might add that many of these same people, upon hearing of Jonbennet Ramsey got on their moral high horses and said, "Beauty pageants for children, that's exploitive." It's been said that no one ever lost money underestimating the tastes of the American public, and Full House" proved that!
This show was actually OK but I can understand why most people don't like it. It's true, Michelle was bratty and the little boy twins were kind of annoying. I also didn't like how the twins were blonde but I guess the producers chose blonde kids so they would look more like Stephanie, Michelle, and D.J.The years before Michelle got older were defenitely better, and some of the jokes were a little too wholesome. I liked the one where Jesse had to sing the Three's Company song to the donkey, though, but I didn't like Jesse's obsession with Elvis. And yes, I also didn't like the fact that they made Becky quite dowdy by putting her in jeans and flats all the time. ABC seems to think when a woman gets married, she doesn't have to look nice anymore (Full House) or she can do a lap dance for her teenage son (8 Simple Rules)
I dunno if this show ever DID jump--but it did get close to sinking! I have to say that the acting was ok--but after so many season of the SAME lines, and SAME plots, it got a LITTLE boring! I think that if they had sold that house in the show and gone somewhere new (along with better actors to come into it...) the show might still be on today. Nothing against this show really, I'm just glad it didn't drag on when it was already being drug!
Set television back 40 years. Quite possibly the worst show of all time I have decided yet. Injected the likes of Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen and Kimmi unto an unsuspecting country and the world was lost for the show's duration. This show was wriiten by complete goofballs and I honestly believe the national I.Q. average dropped 12.34 points because of this horror
It was an OK show in the mid 80s when it came on, and only lasted as long as it did because it was a lead in to Mr. Belvidere and Perfect Strangers on TGIF. After reading the above comments I was surprised to learn that Full House lasted three years longer than I intially thought it had. Being in grade school at the time, TGIF was a weekly ritual in our house, so whe Full House mysteriously disappeared from the TGIF Lineup in 1992, I thought the show had been axed, since ABC had killed off Growing Pains and Who's the Boss? around that time. I'm guessing I probably didn't miss much since the plots in EVERY episode were so damn formulaic. Though Candace Cameron was one of my first TV crushes I couldn't stand the rest of the cast's characters, especially Bob Saget's and the Olsen twins.
This show was the absolute worst show of all times. Bad acting, bad scripts, just sickening. I couldn't believe this show stayed on as long as it did. You could die of sugar overdose watching.
This show jumped shark when Joey was on the show. What the hell for? He had no family ties to them and obviously when he couldn't make enough money being a comedian, why didn't he leave? He's joke's were not funny to anyone and he couldn't get a date unless Danny did(pathetic). He should have committed suicide so that they could have had a "very special..." I actually liked DJ becuase she didn't have sex or dress slutty. Stephanie was always in some corner. And Michelle why the hell would you have two people to play one character? It's not cute it's kind of psychotic, twins acting like one person. And why did Jesse move his whole family into an attic like they were on the lam? If Becky worked on a morning show and he worked at a....wait how many jobs did he have? The point is Becky was actually living in house before she married him. If I were her I would have called off the wedding when he first mentioned the where they were going to live. And why the hell did they have twins? wouldn't that had made it more convinent for them to move out? THe twins hair probably grew so fast from the asbestos in the walls. And Danny he was never funny and the fact that he's character were was a clean-o-holic was stupid. The dumbest episode was where DJ had that crisis and she wouldn't tell anyone and then Danny read her diary. How pathetic! If it were my daughter I would have asked her point blank what's wrong and if she didn't answer I would have just left her alone til she asked for help. What made me so angry was why they used the word "crisis." Spilling ketchup on someone is no crisis. That was ridiculous. I can't believe this show lasted that long. I really hated Joey!
This show definitely jumped twice. It definitely jumped when Stephanie hit puberty. She was an adorable little girl then she got really really awkward looking. OMG her jaw bone got huge with a huge underbite. She resembled a 14 year old girl Frankenstein. But before that it may have jumped when they changed Jesse's name. His first name was Jesse Cochran then it became Cosapolous. He went from Irish to Greek overnight.
This show didn't really jump the shark, because it really just pretty much stayed out of the water entirely. With the exception of the first season (to some extent) the entire series was exactly the same year after year. It was pretty consistently stupid, but I like watching it anyway. It's not the kind of show you have a prayer of trying to take seriously, or laughing at very much either, but it's just a show that you sit and watch. And groan anytime they say something that's so corny it inspires physical discomfort.
OK let me set one thing straight. Jesse's last name changed because the first episode was a PILOT! Almost ever show hages after the pilot episiode or at least the first season. People you should have expected and accepted that it would come. What I don't understand is why Danny just didn't hire a nanny for his kids. She would have been much cheeper than 10 years with those slobs Jesse and Joey. When did Jesse or Joey ever really take care of the girls? It was laughable how "Wake up San Francisco" became a very primitive match making place(Becky+Jesse; Danny+Vicki). This show JTS when DJ turned into a full blown women. She left Stephanie in the dust! I never really understood Stephanie's character when she got older. When she was little I liked her because she was the middle sister trying to find her place in the family, but even I admit she got annoying and bitchy at some points. I understood her pain because I am the middle sister. I started watching when I was 8. I saw the really old episodes and I adored how Stephanie voiced her complaints. As she got older her character was pushed to the side. Michelle I really didn't care for. She was a brat plain and simple. Danny should ahve pursued a different career. Acting isn't for him. I loved how they brought Becky in for the female relief. I seriously think this show would have flopped if DJ had hit puberty without a female role model. I now know why this show sucked and was good at the same time. It was made for children that's why. You can't help but love it.
this show jumped the shark when the olsen twins got older. it just got way too cheesy. oh yeah one more thing. they could have picked to have bob saget get married. he ran into so many chicks and they never got married? wat a loser. and plus he kind of came of as a gay man.
I was in elementary school when full house was in its hey day or however you spell it, and i remember it pissed me off to no end that the audience went "ooooooooooh" whenever two people kissed. WTF? grow up. Everytime they did that it made me want to jump into the televsion and scream shut up as loud as i could to the audience. bah.
The show definitely jumped when it felt its viewers were so stupid (which we probably were since we watched the show!) they wouldn't notice that (1) Jesse's last name changed from Cochran to Katsopolis and (2) that Jesse attended his high school reunion in season 4, complete with flashbacks of the day prior to graduation, but then in season 6 it's revealed that Jesse's "shameful secret" is he never graduated!
This show was the corniest, sappiest piece of garbage to ever hit television. I never turned it on but my wife or youngest son would have it on all the time and it made me sick. The previous comments cover it pretty well. And what was up with John Stamos actually believing he sounds like Elvis when he sings? Give me a break. The three leading male actors on this show were absolutely terrible.
My complaint is perhaps different from most. Nearly my least favorite kind of joke on earth is an Elvis Presley joke (not because I think they're cruel or I didn't like him, I just can't stand them). And I don't know what's worse, being ambushed by them on other comedies, or knowing they were around the corner on this show (because of the Jesse character) and on Lois and Clark (because of Perry White). I've seen early episodes, and I notice that early on, Jesse was an aspiring pop singer of the other kind, and his idol was Sammy Davis Jr. I can't help wondering if, after he passed on, the writers thought those jokes would sound morbid (as opposed to Elvis jokes, which would be interesting logic, if so). So, even though I don't care much for comedies centered around little kids, with a lot of oohs and ahhs over them, that was absolutely small potatoes compared to the forced Presley jokes.
I am a Greek woman (very dark features) who married a blonde-haired and blue-eyed man. Both of our children look like me, not him. I know, from experience, that darker features are dominant and therefore prevail in the gene pool. So how in the hell did they expect us to believe that all three of the tanner kids, plus Jesse's twins, were half Greek? I used to watch this show when I was younger (and bored) and was always puzzled by this. If you're going to include certain ethnic extractions in a television program, please make it believable, okay? The writers of Full House should all be smothered with expired honey and devoured by flesh-eating African dermestid beetles.
This steaming cauldron of vomit jumped after the pilot episode. I had to calm myself from laughing so hard before I started to write. Thank God for this website, finally people can really talk about how horrible shows like this really were. Every character on that show was nauseating. Danny was a wimp, plain and simple. Jesse was a wannabe tough guy that would have had his ass kicked in any street fight. Becky was an annoying wall flower that made me want to throw her into San Francisco Bay with multiple sharks. All three kids were fake and terrible actresses. Those Olsen twins have and will always be sickening. But the one that truly made me want to shoot his balls off with a bazooka was Dave Coulier's character. I mean come on, he was constantly silly and stupid. When I was a child I hated adults like that who thought that children like it when you're acting like a ****** the way that ******* was all the time. I just wanted once to see him suffer a tradgedy and cut that God awful sillyness that always came from that hole underneath his nose. Finally that opening theme song made me want to shoot the T.V. and hunt down the songwriters, singers and musicians and put them up in front of a firing squad. Absolute filth.
Full House has got to be one of the worst TV shows ever...I can't believe it was on so long or that I actually watched it. Anything funny on the show was unintentional. It was funny, in a pathetic way, that the audience was supposed to believe the following phrases were humorous: "You little nerdbomber!" (DJ) "How rude!" (Stephanie) and "You're in big trouble, mister!" (either of the horrid goblin children playing the role of Michelle.) And my God - these girls lost their mother in a car accident, and as a result have to put up with their annoying, useless extended family for the next decade? And with the addition of Becky and those god awful twins the Tanners' became a freaking halfway house for intrusive, freeloading losers.
possibly it was when jessies name suddenly changed from jessie cochran to jessie costapolous? or when joey had that freakin woodchuck doll? or when stephanie got really ugly? or when no one realized that dj was really ugly? or whenever joey did an impression--who thinks its funny when a forty year old man imitates daffy duck? oh thats right-the tanners do! oh and one more thing? how freakin pathetic was becky? she was pretty and smart and married a greasy unsuccessful loser and then they lived in a house with his 1000 relatives! oh, and how in the hell did their ugly kids have red hair and blue eyes when she had brown hair and brown eyes and jessie was Greek? once again, nice call casting directors!
One of the many moments where this show jumped was in the episode where Jesse bought the Smash Club. When he came home to share this news and told the kids (DJ, Steph, and Steve) that The Beatles played there, as well as (I think) The Doors and Sonny and Cher, all three kids said "Who?!?". How could they NOT have known who The Beatles were? Where they living in caves or something? What a load!
I've been reading some viewer comments, and I must admit, I'm shocked. Everyone has been attacking this show and it's characters like crazy without ever mentioning all the good things about it. Perhaps I can shed some light on a few things some viewers had to say about FH that weren't very positive. 1)So you say the characters are bad actors, right? Wrong! The men on the show tried really hard to be funny and serious all at the same time, and they did it well enough. It's not their fault if the script was a little off at times. And as for the children, they were sensational! If you disagree, I'd like to see you be funny, dramatic, and everything else at such a young age! 2) So you don't like Bob Saget. Who cares? Is that really a reason to butcher the show? Sure, he was kind of corny at times, but that only makes him all the more loveable. I don't know about you, but my dad was always a little corny. 3)The olsen twins were in it. Sure, the Olsens could be bratty at times and a lot of the plotlines did center around them, but they were the youngest, and this is to be expected. Weren't we all a little bratty at that age? 4)Other. As for the other doubts you had about the show, don't worry about it so much. You obviously watched the show while it was on the air if you're criticizing it now, so it can't have been all that bad. I really loved watching this show as I was growing up, and I still love it now. It's not meant to be serious all the time. It's really meant to be a fun show for kids and adults to watch, that will teach kids a lesson, and it did this well. It should be commended, not butchered.
If Bob Saget can make it in Hollywood, so can anyone. That's the main thing I took away from the Full House experience. Made me actually consider chucking the old man and running away to Hollywood so that I too, can become a star, and perhaps even land a funny home video show where I can be unfunny in two places at once. Full House was every example of what sit coms have degenerated to. It is television bubblegum, and was of the same quality as those really bad Disney Channel sit coms that you watch for a good laugh at crappy acting, bad comic timing, and overused schticks. There was always a very special episode, and there was always a super happy or lesson learning ending. It surprises me that the twins are pretty now, because they looked like alien babies. Were it not for their looks, they would never have acted again, because well... they can't. It takes a special team of people to make wholesome a funny thing because wholesome isn't funny. Full House does not know this team of people and that this show lasted beyond the first season is just proof that we all need to get up off the couch and do something once in a while.
This show sucks anyway, but the true jumping the shark moment for me was when they adopted their dog Comet. Leave it to neat-freak Danny Tanner to name the family pet after an abrasive bathroom cleanser!!
okay so its not enough that we have to be subjected to "comic" dave "bullwinkle" coulier? or that we have to watch a dad more sappy than Mr. Brady? or that we have to stand through that totally bad 80's hair from john "stud" stamos? or we have to watch kirk camerons little sister gain weight? THEN WE HAVE to listen to that little harpy scream how rude one more friggen' time! she is the most annoying harpy ever, and hearing her voice is like listening to a cat get castrated
Day One! I mean geez, they went and cast Bob Saget (I can only imagine the emotional trauma he must have indured with that name) who looks a creepy pedophile. Then we have Jesse and Joey (who should be strangled by those damn puppets) The two freeloading moochers. And we can't forget the Olsen twins, those bug eyed little gnomes, they are just evil. Why did Danny have two men come and help raise his daughters? Did it ever occur to him that people would get the wrong idea? I'm sure he has a female relative who would be willing to help. Also did any one ever notice there clothes (more so in the early episodes) ? It always looked like DJ's sweaters were designed by mental patients. Kimmy looked like she just walked in the closet and put on whatever she pulled out. This show also features what must be the stupidest insults and catch phrases in the history of bad television "Geekburger" "Nerdbomber" (??) "Hey Dude!" "Mercccccy" "How Rude!" "Cut It Out (accompanied by hand motions)." Why didn't anyone ever move out of that house? I mean by the end of the series theres like 45 more people in that house than necessary. I just love how Jesse moves to the attic after he gets married (as someone pointed out, a real Greg Brady move) Couldn't he move out? That always annoyed me. I must admit though, I loved this show when I was younger but thank god I grew up.
After the birth of Uncle Jessie's twin boys, the show tried to outdo itself with overblown trips to Disneyland, Danny's girlfriend, and the season finale - the dreaded AMNESIA PLOT!
I used to think that this show was the coolest when I was younger. When I found out that Full House was going to be shown on Nick at Nite, I thought I'd take a look-see at the show for old time's sake. After watching it, I found myself asking "Why on earth did I like this show it the first place?" This show is overly sugary and nobody gets punished severely. There is always the "Go to your room" punishment or "No TV/dessert/visiting friends" for a week punishment. Then there is the saccharine music they play while the characters are lectured for what they did (or didn't do). It just makes me want to barf. There is also the whole thing with this mixed family living in one house and Jesse and Becky living in the attic. Is there any reason that they could not get a small house/townhouse/apartment of their own?
This show was awful, and it can be argued that it jumped on any number of occasions (e.g., when Jesse & pals sing "The Boys Are Back In Town" - I still have nightmares about that show. However, it really hit rock bottom when Steve Urkel shows up on the episode where Stephanie gets reading glasses. Seeing Urkel on "Family Matters" was bad enough, but having him on "Full House" was like bringing together the worst the world can offer.
The whole premise of the show was that Jesse that sexy ass John Stamos and Joey (Danny's Brother-in-Law and Best Friend Respectively)were moving in to help the recently widowed Danny raise his kids while he worked. First Jesse was a exterminator and set his own schedule. Joey was a comedian so he was always home. Then Jesse and Joey started writing jingles. Joey did not have a room when they first moved in, he slept in the alcove. Jesse slept in Stephanie's room and Stephanie and DJ roomed together. Then Joey went away on a college comedy tour for two weeks and Danny had the basement renovated to Joey's room. When Jesse and Joey started writing jingles and Danny invested in their company and gave them the space in the attic. Jesse and Becky got married and yes they moved out into Becky's apartment. But Jesse was homesick and missed the family. Plus Michelle was sadden to see her beloved uncle Jesse leave. So Becky and Danny got together and decided that Jesse and Becky should move into the attic. Initially Jesse did not want to go for the idea, because he thought that Becky was compromising for his sake. Becky told him that they were her family too. So they rennovated the attic and moved in there. Joey moved into Jesses' old room and the basement became their office. So the title of the show was Full House and the premise was that Jesse and Joey agreed to help Danny raise his kids, if they moved out then the whole point of the show is whole gone. Now that we have that cleared up, the show delivered what it promised. Good wholesome, family entertainment. One poster wondered why there was never any harsh punishment, what did the girl's ever do that was deemed bad enough for sever punishment? Bottom line Full House was a great show and addition to TGIF. It made my Friday's while growing up! My kids watch and enjoy the show now and so do I. It showed that families come in all forms, shapes and sizes. Again it delivered what it promised, good wholesome entertainment. By the way airhead the stated their catch phrase as "Hey Dude" Michelle actually stated "You got it dude" John Stamos has been Gorgeous since he played Blackie Parrish on General Hospital.
I don't know why so many hate this show. Full House never jumped the shark. It's still enjoyable to watch the reruns 'til this day. The show must've been good because it lasted for 8 years. I loved most of the characters. I especially liked Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), DJ (Candace Cameron), and Jesse (John Stamos). Stephanie was absolutely adorable when she was younger and then absolutely beautiful when she got older. DJ was gorgeous as well. Jesse was so hot! He is a very sexy man. I loved the song he did with The Beach Boys, Forever. Great song, in my opinion. Kimmy was a wonderful supporting actress and I don't think many people realize that. I thought this show was great. I must admit, there were some things I didn't like about it like the mushiness and how they always hug after everything. Mary Kate and Ashley Olson aren't my favorite actresses in the world. But besides the minor flaws, it's got to be one of my all time favorite sitcoms. Again, Full House NEVER jumped the shark!!
I swear that I got more cavities from watching one episode of Full House, than consuming a month's worth of Butterfingers and Jolt Cola. One show didn't meet the ADA'S (American Dental Association) approval.
I was only in grade school when Full House was on ABC and back then i used to like the show. Now at 22, i see why the show sucked so much. Here are the reasons. No 1. Danny Joey and Jesse (until he got married) living together in San Francisco and they are straight? I dont think so. No 2. Michelle was cute when she was a little baby, but as soon as she could talk and got her own storylines, she turned into a little obnoxious brat, but stupid ass Danny, Joey, and Jesse still put up with her. No.3 Those other twins that Rebecca gave birth to. It's bad enough that the show has 2 no acting people playing Michelle, but more twins? No.4 Why was Joey even living there in the first place? (this may tie in to No.1). No.5 Stephanie saying "How Rude" all the time by the 10th time, i wanted to strangle the hell out of her for when she says that. No 6. By 1992, there were about 20 people living in the Tanner household and all of the adults had high paying jobs. No.7 The kids used to get into major trouble such as Stephanie and Michelle sneaking on a plane and flying to New Zealand and when they get back to San Fran, Danny grounds them for a week and hugs them. Any other parent would say "Let them stay there in New Zealand", but not Danny Tanner, he resolves this (and every solution) with a hug and a talk. Full House is one of the most unrealistic and fake shows on TV.
Full House was great! I think the problem with the posters here is that you are use to hearing kids calling their parents lame or sneaky out, or cussing or getting pregant or this or that. That is part of the problem with TV Today. Kids spend hours in front of the TV with very little quality programs to watch. Full House no matter how sweet or sugary was a wholesome show. Of course some of it was unrealistic, it's entertainment. If you want reality, watch the news or a newsmagazine show. As far as the number of people living in the house the fact that all the adults were gainfully employed hs nothing to do with the fact that they lived there. They lived there because they were a family that was looking out for each other. Would it have been a "Full House" if the show was simply about Danny and his three Girls? Use your brains it's not rocket science. If you didn't like the show why did you watch it? Better yet, the show is now on ABC Family and Nick @ Nite, I know those of you who hated this show are not watching it now, that you are grown, with your own TV's and a choice, if you are then you are truly an moron! We need more quality programming that demonstrates that a family is what you make it. It's not uncommon in minority households to have multiple generations and extended family living together. Remember the adage it takes a village to raise a child. This show was a great demonstration of that adage. Give Full House a break.
Like so many people here, I watched Full House religiously for years (I did not see the last couple of seasons). I never thought it was bad show. Unlike many people here, I have not revisited the show, so I have not been hit with the revelation that I watched a piece of garbage for years, and my recollections of this show are still mostly positive. Am I living in denial? I admit that I probably am (I have a strong feeling if I started watching Full House again, my childhood memories may prevent me from hating the show). I also believe my time should be spent on watching the quality entertainment I have been criminally neglecting for years (not only is there a lot of good stuff I haven’t seen, but there have been a bunch of shows and movies I have really liked, only to discover they were reviled by critics and audiences, not just Full House). However, there are problems I have with the show, some of which have already been mentioned. I never understood why Becky AGREES to move into the Tanner home after they got married (If you just got married, would you choose to move into your spouse’s parent’s home, unless you had to? No, you wouldn’t). Not only did Joey seem to bring that Woodchuck doll everywhere he went, but he always said the EXACT SAME JOKE: “Is that [object another person is holding] made out of…wood?” (Yes, I still remember that joke). It was announced that Joey would be a voice actor in a cartoon show, but the show was not even mentioned in a later episode; the producers just dropped it for no reason (Note to television producers: if you are making a comedy, and it is not a completely wacky show like Married With Children, do not drop plot threads with no explanation. Continuity is very important to your audience). In one episode, Stephanie is upset that Danny wasn’t home to comfort the family after an earthquake. The earthquake itself, Danny arriving home hours after the event, and Stephanie being worried her father wouldn’t come home, all occurred BEFORE this episode (I realize the 1989 World Series earthquake occurred a few weeks before the episode aired, but I felt I was watching the second half of a two-part episode, and the producers forgot to make the first half). There was one episode where D.J. and Stephanie punch a hole through Danny’s bedroom wall. They move a cabinet to hide the hole, and when Danny comes in and asks what they are doing, the girls sing a song about how they love their dad. The end. Danny doesn’t find out about the destruction of his property; D.J. and Stephanie do not get into trouble. Even though Full House had its share of “Kids-get-into-trouble-and-Dad-has-important-lesson-for-kids” episodes, this out-of-character episode never sat right with me. I’ll end my post with a bit of trivia: Joel Zwick, who served as director for some of the later Full House episodes, as well as other sitcoms like Perfect Strangers and (shudder) Meego, directed the 2002 hit indie film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” Just thought you’d like to know.
The show starts to get old when Michelle grows up, because every episode is about HER, and it gets really annoying.
I totally think the show jumped the shark when the twins nikki and alex were born. it got soooooo stupid cause hello michelle was supposed to be the baby!!
Curb your enthusiasm is the first show in my life that I have ever taperecorded. I love its spontaneity and its willingness to take risks. I agree with one of the above comments about "Full House" how did that show get past the pilot episode? Also I think not having a laugh track adds to the shows appeal. Laugh tracks just make me so angry because thay are so god damn fake! Curb your enthusiasm is the best show on television right now. Keep up the good work Larry David. Oh yeah, for all you networks trying to imitate this show, its not working.
I love Full House. I dont know why people hate it. Its very funny and the actors are great. Joey is one of my favorites. It should have one A LOT of emmy's because it was great. Whoever thinks its bad your weird.
True, the show was SUPPOSED to have the tone like Danny's wife has died and his family pitches in to help...SUPPOSED to be one of those shows that show you the importance of family, blah blah. But how could those kids NOT get in trouble for... 1 - D.J. and Steph punching a hole in the wall in Danny's room and then lying about it 2 - D.J. making out with Steve in the cement truck (the most rieque thing EVER done on full house) and having the mixer's tube smash through the kitchen and pouring about 5 tons of cement into the house 3 - Michelle and Teddy stowing away in the car on her father's date ---the list goes on. Joey was a dumbass mooch. I agree, these people had great jobs, so why couldn't just ONE OF THEM move out?! Stephanie and her band screwing up the Ace of Base song was by far the only hilarious moment in this show's history! And can I just say that the Beach Boys on Full House was they worst move they've EVER made to revive their career! BTW, it Jumped the Shark when Uncle Jesse parachuted into a tree and then jumped into a tomato truck in his WHITE SUIT on his wedding day...how ********!
So let me get this straight...Stephanie backs the car into the house, and she gets off with nothing more than being sent to her room (I don't remember). Let's see, I was the same age as Steph when that episode aired (c. 1989), and if I had done something like this, I STILL wouldn't have any driving priviliges. What were those writers smoking?
Full House. What an awful, awful show. The lines were corny, the plotlines were stupid, and the acting was HORRIBLE. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were oh-so-very cute, not. I couldn't help but notice that Michelle was always looking over the shoulder of the person she was talking to, probably at her mother off-stage who was mouthing her lines. The show only got more annoying when Michelle became "precocious" and started acting smart-alecky and bratty. And when Jesse and his wife has twins! This was a sign of some desperate producers. Their "cute kid" has grown up, so their solution is - more cute kids! It can't fail! WRONG! They were even worse, and to watch Michelle interact with MORE horrible child actors made me cringe. Blech!
Actually this show changed by life! I came home from work one Friday evening from a long, hard week at my dead end job. Watching the nightly news while eating my takeout dinner, I crashed into a deep sleep. When I woke this show was on and staring me right in the face ... then it dawned on me, my life was a total farce. It was a Friday night, I was too exhausted to even get out of the house, I had been reduced to pssively staring at horribly bad TV in lieu of a life. I realized I that I had no future, that unless something drastically changed this was my future. It was this show, and that moment, that motivated me to get off my ass and get back into school.
I grew up with the Olsen Twins (I'm the same age) so basically I loved the show because I guess I felt "represented". I got what they were talking about because it was the same stuff that I was doing.......and yes it wasn't until later in my life that I realised that it was called "Full House", I had always though it WAS called the "Michelle Show"
Full house was/is one of the most family-friendly shows on television. Many lessons were learned. I started watching it when it was on TGIF. The more recent episodes were not so good. Everyone started growing up and it got a little out-of-hand. Too many people in one house even though it goes with the title. Over all, I am very grateful that I 'grew up' with the show.
Okay, I realize that it's an unofficial law to hate "Full House", but I don't see why. People need to stop analyzing everything and just accept the show for what it is - entertaining. I was both shocked and humored to see all the negative comments on here. There were only like five people who said anything good about the show. C'mon, you guys! Some of the people said that D.J. was not attractive. WHAT??!! These people are either gay or stupid. Then some of them said that Michelle was annoying. One person went so far as to call her "a little bitch". Whoa! This is A LITTLE KID you're talking about, for God's sake! Besides, Michelle was hilarious. How can you not crack up when she goes "Ahh nuts"? Then some people complained about the fact that the children didn't get punished enough. I saw comments like "If that was real life, those kids would've got beaten within an inch of their lives". Obviously this person comes from a family of abuse and he/she should get some professional help. Besides, it wasn't real life, it was a TV show! And there are other ways to teach your kids a lesson besides being an ******* and beating them. And the acting may not have been spectacular, but to me, it's irrelevant. Danny was mostly a dork, but even he had his funny moments (there was an episode where Joey's old girlfriend comes to town, and Danny goes "She ripped out your heart and did the Mexican hat-dance on it!", then he starts snapping his fingeres and doing the dance! I cracked up!). Jesse was perhaps the funniest one on the show (great taste in music, too). And I don't see what everyone's problem is with Dave Coulier (Joey). I thought he was funny. D.J. and Stephanie weren't all that funny, but I can easily forgive them because they were so beautiful. And Lori Loughlin remains one of the hottest women I've ever seen. GOD, WHAT LEGS! So people need to stop whining about how this show is too sentimental and all that crap. Considering how crappy the world is now, we all could use some sentimentality and positivity, couldn't we? Sure we could!
I dont think Full House ever jumped. Just because it dosent have violence, sex, drugs and things like that in it dosent mean that i sucks. And some of you people that dissed it, if yall didnt like it so much then why did you watch it? Some of yall knew an awful lot about it to say you never watched it. Full House was ment for a family show, i understand that everyone has their own opinions and stuff but like you cant diss a show thats meant for a FAMILY and little KIDS!
I have always wondered about this show, and I believe that it did not jump the shark. Rather, it crawled up the ramp and fell into the shark’s open mouth. This show has many aspects that I find disturbing. To begin with is the fact that there are 3 straight, single guys living in one house. I find it highly disturbing that one of these guys (Danny Tanner) is a neat freak. Nobody I know is as obsessive about cleaning as he is! The next thing I find disturbing about this show is the fact that once Jesse marries Rebecca, they move into the attic, instead of living in their own house or apartment. (Posters say that Michelle the Monstrous Brat influenced Jesse's decision, because Michelle missed Jesse and wanted him to stay with her.) Thirdly, is Michelle. I cannot stand this horrid brat. She has the run of the house and is downright obnoxious. No child of mine would be allowed to behave in the manner that Michelle does. Fourth, is that freeloader Joey Gladstone, who doesn't appear to have any relation to Danny or Jesse, and the only reason he lives with them is that he would be on the streets otherwise. Fifth, the writers of this show give glasses a bad reputation. When Stephanie had to get reading glasses, instead of getting a pair of cool frames she liked, she was given a pair of glasses that were ugly and very unbecoming (they were poop brown frames, with round lenses, which did not work well for Stephanie's face). Needless to say, Stephanie did not like them. Even though this episode was filmed in the early 90's, they had decent frames back then. (I should know since I wore glasses back then.) Uncle Jesse was able to have decent frames for his glasses, so why couldn't Stephanie? I know this seems petty, but if a kid needs glasses, he or she should get frames they like and feel confident in. It was obvious that Stephanie neither liked the frames she was landed with, nor did she feel confident in them. Sixth, this show really has no relation whatsoever to the real world, because in this show, a family and extended family and a freeloader live harmoniously under one roof. My family can scarcely tolerate each other for a few hours at a get-together, let alone live with each other full-time. The case is the same for my friends. Full House does not depict life in America, nor in any country around the world. Seventh, I find it disturbing that all the adults have good jobs, and they choose to live in one crowded house. If these people are so well-paid, why don't they live in their own homes? Lastly, is the fact that the girls can commit murder, and they won't get punished severely. There will be that cheesy music that plays, whenever someone learns a lesson, and everything is tidied up with a hug. The girls could commit murder and the worst the punishment would be that they lose TV privileges for a week. This show is unrealistic and saccharine, and I don't know how anyone over the age of 12 can tolerate it.
It actually led up to that. First it was the ep where Steph was mad at not winning the spelling bee, then the ep where she was accused of dating a boy the rest of her peers kept calling Duckboy or something ("QUACK QUACK QUACK..."Stop! Stop!") THEN it was the ep where DJ was accused of drinking and Jessie and Danny wouldn't believe her! That was IT!
Full House was wholesome family entertainment. Nobody ever mistook it as the second coming of say, All in the Family. However, Full House is a welcome alternative to the trash that currently pollutes the airwaves (Will & Grace, Friends). It surprises me that people hate Full House yet spend a lot of time trashing the show. If you hate the show, why can you recount so many of the storylines, hmmm? I tend to think some people trash this show because they had rotten families and what not, and Full House is a convenient boogeyman since it ran contrary to their lives. My favorite shows includes Jesse convincing a HS dropout to return to HS (a very inspiring episode, if you know a HS dropout, tape this particular episode and have him or her watch). Another great episode was Jesse refusing to accompany Becky to a party with her stuffy, intellectual elite friends...until Jesse sees who takes his place as Becky's escort, an ex-professor. Jesse gets jealous, so he goes to the party later. Jesse tries to act smart but fails miserably, with the professor ridiculing him. Finally Jesse challenges him to an arm-wrestling match. Jesse wins, but Becky is upset at his cheauvanism at such a gathering. But alas, Jesse sings Becky a song and all is well. Such a great episode, as many others. Who can forget Michelle's catchprashes? The best was "You're in big trouble Mister!" LOL, she said it in in such a stern voice, looking derisively at the troublemaker while pointing here finger. If you couldn't laugh at that, you don't have a sense of humor. Bob Saget is hilarious, why don't I see him on TV anymore? I wish there were more shows like this on TV; when I have kids, I'm afraid there won't be quality television anymore to watch.
For me it was Kokomo. I wanted to mention a few of my least favorite episodes. 1. The girls attempt to reunite Joey with his Father (Colonel Gladstone). They call him and claim they are Barbie Dollandbear, and Janet Abdul. 2. DJ is sprayed with beer from a shaken can, and is caught holding it by Jesse, but she was innocent. 3. DJ has a boy/girl party at her house, and they play spin the bottle until the "dads" stop them.
As the previous poster said, FULL HOUSE never pretended to be intellectual--it fulfilled the tradition of ABC devoting its' Friday night slots to kids' entertainment, in the manner of THE BRADY BUNCH and shows of that nature (although FH may have been moved to Tuesdays later on--correct me on this if I'm wrong). That said, I think that FH as a whole jumped during the season when the twins started talking. Michelle was still fairly young, and hadn't outgrown her "cuteness" factor yet (for those who liked it), so it seemed unnecessary to add more cuteness with the twins now saying "kapich", etc. However, one episode from that period hasn't been mentioned yet, one which stands out to me as true shark bait: when D.J. forgot Kimmy's birthday because she was too busy giving her tookie to Steve. Remember? D.J. calls upon her family to bail her out. So how do they respond? They use toilet paper for streamers (I hope they didn't wipe their butts on it beforehand), and give Kimmy gifts from things that they had already bought for themselves (i.e. Becky gives the Gibbmeister a half-used bottle of perfume, etc). The last straw (and the thing that made Kimmy catch on that the whole thing was a hoax) was the "hash-brown cake" (leftover hash browns from the Tanner's fridge--yuck)! Granted, you don't expect FH to be realistic, but several things irk me here. (1). With the kind of cash that Danny, Becky, Jesse (and maybe Joey) must have presumably pooled over the years from their individual jobs (as another poster pointed out, the Frisco area in which they lived was NOT cheap), they could have afforded to go out and buy a real cake, some presents, etc. (2). Call me a sadist, but I think that D.J. should have been forced by her family to "sweat" more (so to speak) by being made to wrack her brain for a LONGER PERIOD OF TIME to try to THINK of ways to stall Kimmy while the Tanners shopped and got everything ready--after all, it WAS D.J.'s fault for forgetting Kimmy's B-day. Being forced to do this might have taught D.J. a lesson about how you can't make dating such a priority that you freeze out your friends. (3). The Tanners, to me, should have taken into account that Kimmy, as annoying as she could be, had known D.J. her whole life and had taken a LOT of **** from Danny (Felix Unger's son) and Jesse (that greaseball's in no place to criticize ANYONE) over the years about being a pest and so forth. To me, even though it was never explictly SAID, there was always something that was not quite "right" about the way Kimmy looked, talked and acted during FH's run; I got the feeling that her homelife was much more troubled than the Tanners, and that underneath, she didn't MEAN to be a pest by barging in on the Tanners for all those years--she was probably just confused and wanted some kind of attention where there would be no abuse, verbal or otherwise (I had a friend who was like Kimmy in this respect, so I know of what I speak). But I digress. Instead of using this forgotten birthday opportunity as a chance to teach D.J. a lesson by making her, like I said, "suffer" a little more by having to exercise all her wits to stall Kimmy and keep her out of the house (for a longer period of time) until everything was ready, the family essentially acted like it was KIMMY's fault for simply HAVING a birthday by giving her the used gifts, toilet paper streamers, etc. They turned the whole thing into another "pin the tail on Gibbler just for being born" event instead of trying to teach D.J. a lesson about "friends first, boyfriends later!" Again, D.J. was the one to blame for caring more about having Steve stick his banana in her fruit basket, not Kimmy! And after the way that the Tanners had practically pissed on Kimmy all those years, she deserved better than hash-brown cake, etc.! It was only after Kimmy told D.J. where to get off that that sex-crazed moo cow realized that she was wrong in thinking that friends (like Kimmy) can wait but boyfriends (like Steve) can't--actually, it's just the opposite. All in all, FULL HOUSE basically was what it was, and kept little kids entertained during its' run (even if it drove their parents crazy). But this was a particular episode that hadn't yet been discussed, so I thought I'd bring it up here. PEACE!
This show was horrible, corny, and very unrealistic, though the earlier episodes are more tolerable, since Michelle hadn't begun to speak yet and there weren't all of those extra people living in the house. There were never any serious punishments for bad behavior, and real problems (like D.J.'s "anoxeria," which only lasted three days) were solved way too quickly. What real-life family is that good? These people were way too attached to one another and needed to move out, esp. that annoying Joey. The extra twins were annoying too; I was only about eleven years old when these little monsters were conceived, and I just knew that Becky and Jesse were going to have twins even before their doctor told them, since so many shows have to have a pregnancy result in a multiple birth. And has anyone ever noticed that the names of the three sisters don't match? We have two quintessentially Eighties names like Stephanie and Michelle and then we have Donna Jo, which sounds like a name from the Fifties! That makes as much sense as having all of these supposedly half-Greek kids all having blonde hair. The finale was obviously written by someone who has never fallen off of a horse. Michelle was wearing a helmet at the time, and the horse just slowly reared up, not even trotting or galloping. She slowly tumbled off of the side with her hands in front of her, landing on her side. How again does such a scenario cause amnesia? I fell off of a horse much worse than that, without a helmet, and the worst I had was possible slight whiplash and a very bruised back, which I couldn't lie down on for over a month. Yet I was able to get back on the horse and finish my ride instead of losing my memory and getting rushed to the hospital. Someone who tumbles off of the side of a horse while wearing a helmet, when the horse is barely moving and just reared up a bit, at worst might have some bruises or scrapes from the fall, not full-blown memory loss. And how long was this amnesia, two days? Yet another problem solved at lightning speed, just in time for another corny ending. All of these quick happy endings really trivialised the serious problems they were supposed to address, like amnesia, anorexia, child abuse, and drugs. This show is only good for laughing at and the nostalgia factor with the late Eighties/early Nineties fashions.
There are a few things that I find absoulutely annoying about this show. First of all, whoever told Bob Saget that he should be a comedian must have been on drugs. Secondly, Dave Coulier, was just as unfunny and annoying as Bob Saget. No wonder their characters were best friends on the show, nobody else would be friends with them. I really had no problem with D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. Thirdly, when Becky and Jesse had the twins from hell, I had to stop watching the show. Becky went from a "no-nonsense" woman with her own morning show, and a sarcastic attitude to a total priss, and Jesse, who was supposed to be the cool one, acted like an ass when it came to raising his own kids. He spent about 10 years raising his nieces and was able to punish them when they did something wrong, but he couldn't discipline his own spoiled brats. I just want to slap him and his wife. Also, you can bet on it, that in the last 5-7 minutes of the show when they are getting to the "moral" of the story, they play that sappy music. It was a good show in the beginning, but it got really dumb.
When DJ Steph and Michelle started to grow up. DJ was pretty believable but Michelle was just over the top. Steph was the worst though, maybe b/c as a little kid she was VERY funny and cute and had great comedic timing. As a pre-pubucent kid and a teen, she got annoying, like always trying to say something cool and not pulling it off. It was hard to watch. In general as the show went on it kept jumping the shark...the twins, Jesse having a hit in Japan and "forgetting" about his family, Kimmie gets married, DJ has a millionaire with his own plane in love with her, Michelle gets amnesia (yeah, that happens all the time.) it was pretty realistic in the beginning but as usual the writers needed to outdo themselves with storylines as the cast of kids got older and aren't as cute anymore...
Stephanie hit puberty and was not cute any more. At the same time the Olsen twins were too old to be playing the same character.
Nicky and Alex was what killed the show! It was bad enough that they had 2 twins, 2 SETS? They were completely annoying!
I thought this was a horrible way for the show to crop up some already horrible ratings. If a person gets amnesia, then I highly doubt they're going to have a visual revelation in a dream in which they talk to themself and are "convinced" to remeber themselves. It just made me want to barf all over myself. In fact, I did.
I love the show, I really do. I was a fan of the Olsens (just like every other little girl was), and thats why I watched the show to begin with..(Im about the same age as them). But, Dave Coulier and Bob Saget are horrible. They arent funny, they aren't good looking, and they contribute NOTHING to the show. John Stamos, also got tiring. He was almost funny, but it wasnt in a good way. Everything he ever said was rude and negative toward Danny and Joey, and made his character seem incredibly immature. Watching the show now, (being 18) I realize that Mary Kate and Ashley certainly couldnt act in Full House (they cant now either, but it was much worse then) and Stephanie has become my favorite character. The later episodes that focus mainly on Michelle are incredibly lame and get really boring really fast. You can only watch a 6 year old not have her way with her little friends so many times before it gets old and boring. Althou the show lost the slight amount of humour it had in the beginning once Michelle became the obvious lead character, it's still a cute show and deserves to be on tv for new fans to watch. Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron were both awesome and had plenty of talent, and should have been featured more on the later episodes.
Yeah, this show was cheesy, if not horribly unfunny. Still I admit to watching "Full House" in its early years. Although it JTS from day one, "Full House" really JTS when those annoying little twits Nicky and Alex were introduced into the show. That is a tell tale sign that the show is grasping for survival when it brings in a cute kid when the last cute kid stops being cute, in this case they brought in two annoying brats. I thought it was hilarious that two blonde kids could come from Jesse and Rebecca who were brunettes. Me thinks Rebecca had a brief fling with Joey and gave the public Satan's children. Nicky and Alex should have gone the way of Seven from "Married With Children".
This jumped from the time Michelle started to talk! (not that I watched it all that much). I remember seeing an episode where Michelle was already five years old and she talked like a baby! I have two nephews who didn't talk babytalk even at two. They talked full sentences but didn't talk "cute". I suddenly heard little girls as old as 7 talk with "cutesy" baby talk! Barf!!!!!! etc.
I think when the twins (Jessie and Rebecca's) were born, the show jumped. It was already a "full house" - they didn't need another set of young children. The kids were getting too old anyway.
In the beginning, this was actaully a pretty good show. Corny? Sure. Far-fetched? Absolutely. But contrary to popular opinion, the show jumped way before Nicky & Alex were born. In actuality, it started to slide at the beginning of the '90-'91 season. Michelle was the brat of brats, and the writing, well, let's just say my sister's dog could do better. The '91-'92 season was the worst. As if "You got it, dude" wasn't lame enough, now we have "Oh, pul-LEEZE!" to deal with. Thanks, guys. Why don't you just tie me to a chair and force me to watch the entire season until my brains turn into cottage cheese? Sure, they did three "Very Special" episodes involving child abuse, a death in the family and drinking, but the damage had been done. The only thing that stopped me from running to the bathroom to toss my Lucky Charms was the fact that I had a crush on Jodie Sweetin.
In 8 season "Full House" had only one very good episode and that was the one about the misunderstandings about a note written by Rusty for DJ. It's the one very good episode because it features good writing, a plot that moves right along from one character or set of characters to the next, decent acting, all the elements of a decent tv sitcom. Then there's the one about the video game is almost as good. However, the secondary plot and ending distract from the good elements. Otherwise, the lack of continuity and logic in characters, looks, etc, just add to the general lameness and lack of talent.
After EJ made his debut in the Tanner house, things were turned upside down. He brought along his friends Frank, Wes and the Fabulous Casamassa brothers to transform the usually giddy home in San Fran to a house of horrors. "Pants puppets" was a game made famous by EJ and Frank during a rained out picnic. While Danny was supposed to be watching the kids, he had taken a romantic stroll through the rain with the homely vagrant woman he was seeing, Main Squeeze (this, of course, upset Chief very much and almost culmanated in Chief's attacking Danny in the infamous scene entitled "Revenge in the Rain"). This very special episode showed what happens when bad parenting meets devious intentions as EJ had his way with Stephanie, who, after one of EJ's patented "TILT on the Elegante table" moves, uttered the well-worn line of "how rude!". How rude indeed Stephanie.
When I noticed that one person thought that the appearance of The Beach Boys on "Home Improvement" signalled the death knell for that show, I instantly recalled a "Full House" episode in which the "Boys" congregated and played in their living room. For a show that was high-grade "chum" from its moment of conception, new depths of the Great White's intestinal tract were explored and discovered with that appearance. I am currently developing a theory that the Grim Reaper is actually an apparition created by some mysterious force-field emanating from the Beach Boys' instruments. Those silly "Full House" producers didn't see the cosmic irony of hiring the band to make a guest appearance -- it signalled their imminent doom.
One of the main reasons that Full House jumped is that each episode was full of bad script writing. Here is one example: In one episode, Jesse is watching Becky on Wake Up San Francisco, and he says to Joey that Becky's gonna let him know on the show whether he has a date with her tonight. Then Jesse says she's gonna give me one wink for yes, and two for no. Then, Becky says hey Jesse, and gives two blinks. Then Jesse says hot dog a double wink, chill that champagne pal. If she blinked twice, doesn't that mean no to date? See what I mean. This show was constantly making so many dumb errors to the point that one would have to question if anyone read the scripts. Another example: When Stephanie first meets a girl named Gia, Gia says she's 2 years older than her and one grade ahead, but when they become friends all of a sudden they are the same age. What's up with that? This kinds of errors are unexcusable. Another good reason this show jumped hard into the shark tank was those awful Olsen twins who were made to play one character and thus relegating them to a life of beeing confused for each other. If it was bad enough that Michelle Tanner was the focus of a lot of episodes due to the cute factor, it got worse when she had to always say something cute on all the other episodes where she was not the main character. It was as though Michelle became bigger than the show and the writers and producers wanted that character to up-stage the show. Then it got worse when the Olsen twins started acting side by side. Then to top it off we have the atrocious character that was Kimmy Gibbler. Add to that a bratty Stephanie and a badly written DJ and you have the sorriest bunch of girls ever to grace Television. Of the Guys, Uncle Joey takes the cake. I hated every episode where he either played an instrument(mostly guitar) or he jammed with the Beach Boys (mostly drums). The worst was a flashback episode where they showed all the moments at once. How John Stamos went on to marry a fashion model Rebecca Romijn I have no idea. By the end I had quit watching the show, but I have since re-watched it just to make fun of it and remember how lousy it was. Also Joey was just ********. And why Danny never got re-married I'll never understand. I can't believe Bob Saget directed Dirty Work (movie) and The Norm Show. This show was too unbelieveable to be real and therefore it defeats all the 80s and 90s shows including Charles In Charge, Facts of Life, Punky Brewster, Who's the Boss, and Blossom for the worst show ever!!! Although Small Wonder comes in close second. Followed by Parker Lewis Can't Lose.
The show jumped when Jesse and Becky's terror children made their debut. First off, the idea of three guys living together in San Francisco? There's an inside joke there somewhere. I'm surprised there was never an episode intimating what could've been perceived as the obvious. Maybe a parent of one of Michelle's friends would've disbarred his or her daughter from playing with Michelle because of her father's, her uncle's, and Joey's lifestyle. The guys would've explained that they weren't gay, but that it doesn't make any difference. Then again, this was a family show in the early 90s and ABC probably wouldn't have wanted the controversy. Second, why was Jesse so tolerant and understanding of his terror children's antics, yet so strict with his nieces? When Jesse saw DJ holding a beer, he assumed she was drinking and took her home to be punished, no questions asked (turned out DJ was innocent). Meanwhile, Nikki and Alex throw food around, disrupt patrons at a restaurant, get into Becky's makeup, call Jesse "Mean Daddy," and they're barely disciplined, and the tone Jesse takes with them is laughable. It seemed as if Danny (or perhaps Bob Saget's disdain showed through) couldn't stand the twins and was probably hoping the Katsopolises would finally move out.
As much as I hate this show, I must say this: I've heard many terrible renditions of The Who's classic "My Generation". But when Danny joined Jesse's group for a runthrough of the song, the result was actually not exceptionally cringe-worthy. And it was clearly not a lip-synch or anything, it was Bob Saget actually singing "My Generation". OK, the phony Daltrey-esque hiccups were stupid, but anyone who tries that song is going to sound at least a little stupid. Bob Saget turned in a surprisingly not awful version. I really can't believe it. And this is from a lifelong fan of The Who!
Well I can´t say I hate this show, but I think it´s true when I say it was pretty cheesy. As far as I can remember almost every episode ended in a group hug and most of the storylines were pretty far fetched. Of course it´s a TV show and it doesn´t have to be always that extremly realistic, but when have you ever seen three men live together in one house and behave like that? The only guy who almost behaved regular was Jesse, but after he married he and Rebecca moved into the attic and even after Rebecca had delievered twins they didn´t look for an own appartment. Why did they even stay in this house after they had their own children? Because Jesse still had to play the servant for Danny´s daughters? And Joey, WHAT was this guy supposed to be? I mean ok, he was a comedian, so the writers thought they had to make him a funny character. But the way he mostly behaved wasn´t funny, it was just ridiculous. And what was Danny´s function? To personify the ultimate boredom? And not to forget about Michelle who was cute when she was a baby, but totally stupid and unfunny when she got older than 2 years. And it was just more than annoying when Michelle did something that was supposed to be cute (but totally wasn´t) and the audience went "Oooh". I wouldn´t call this show one of the worst sitcoms, but sometimes it really sucked greatly. And it definately jumped the shark when Michelle grew older and began to talk.
The show was great because it was about three men who were single and they were managing a household without screwing up. One episode I didn't like was Mother's day where Jesse was trying too hard to impress Becky by making the little boys sing to her and cooking a heart shaped omelet -yuk!
God! When Stephanie grew up the show was DESTROYED!!! Michelle just was able to keep the show in tact. But not for long.
Well, Let me start of by saying that I LOVE this show. There's something about it that just makes me feel good. However, rarely do I find it funny, nor do I think the guys that made it are marvelous filmmakers to be compared to Steven Spielberg. Secondly, I don't think that this show ever really "jumped the shark", I just think that it was obvious at times that it was going down hill. But, if I had to pick a moment where I think it REALLY started going down hill, I guess I'd have to say when Jesse and Becky got married.
Day one. The show is entirely too corny to be in existance, and sadly enough, isn't it pretty recent compared to other "ideal" family sitcoms, like The Cosby Show (which does what this show does better) and The Brady Bunch?
DJ has that eating disorder trying to get slim-n-trim to fit into that swimsuit. Also when Jesse and Becky's twins were born. And when it went from being "Full House" to being "The Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Show". I got so tired of hearing Michelle say "You Got It Dude!" I wanted to jump off a bridge.
I used to watch Full House every day when I was younger. I've seen every episode a minimum of 2-3 times, some of them 10, 15, 20 times. I watched it for years and didn't think it was a bad show. Then I got older and realized what was wrong with it. This show not only jumped the shark, but it holds the world record in the 10,000 meter shark hurdles. (Note: Might be a little out of order.) #1: When they cast Bob Saget in the lead role. He is an R-rated stand-up comedian, so he didn't fit well into this show at all. #2: Day One that the show aired. It got bad reviews, and now I can see why. No family ever gets along that well, ever. Mine didn't. If yours did, you had a different life than most others. The show didn't make sense. #3: First episode, when Jesse and Joey move in...this is because there has to be an inside joke in 3 guys in San Franicisco and no women (outside of the kids) living in the same house. #4: The Olsen Twins. They have them alternating the role of Michelle for whatever reason that I can't figure out-and it didn't really work that well because they have obvious differences (one is right-handed and the other left, etc.). I have a twin myself, and I'll tell you from experience, no 2 people, no matter how much alike, can ever be the same. #5: Second season's first episode, when Jesse got his hair cut and went from motorcycle wildman to more of a *****. His character went the wrong way when that happened-he basically became the second Danny. #6 and #7: The Dr. Dare episode. #6 is Scott Baio guest starring, and #7 is the plot of the episode. Jesse is dared to ride his motorcycle on a ledge, which he had done in 1984, but at the last minute his girlfriend Rebecca convinces him not to do it again. L-A-M-E. #8: The beer episode. DJ went to a middle school dance and got caught with a beer in her hand by Jesse, when in fact her guy friend's friend had put it there. They end up discovering that DJ really didn't drink, and that the smell of beer had in fact gotten there because it was spilled on her. A Very Special Lame Episode. #9: Steve Urkel from Family Matters guest stars. Good idea to cross-promote their shows, but Urkel had no place there and was generally annoying. #10 and #11: Hair care, both Danny and Stephanie. Small things there in my opinion, but it's hair care, so it counts. #12: The island episode. They were out in the south Pacific, in or near Hawaii, so that counts as a shark jumping episode. #13: Jesse and Rebecca: the wedding. The 2-part episode could be considered yet another shark jumper for obvious reasons. Firstly, idiot Jesse jumped out of an airplane, got stuck in a tree, just HAPPENED to land in a tomato truck, and then broke Full House Etiquette® by getting arrested and jailed. Then the actual wedding took place, and as Rebecca's father said, he was trading in his motorcycle for a family station wagon. Not a good move. #14: Jesse and Rebecca have their twins. It wasn't as if they needed any more twins, plus them having kids made Jesse even more of the "stay-at-home" opposite of his former self. #15: The twins themselves. They got annoying, plain and simple. They spoke in broken English and repeated after each other. They were never really in a major plot either. #16: Jesse goes to Japan. I don't think any further explanation is necessary. #17 and #18: Two breakups. DJ and Steve, and Danny Tanner and Vicky Larson. These were two big mistakes in my opinion. Sure, Steve came back, but it wasn't the same after that. Danny and Vicki seemed destined to get married, and they threw a huge storyline away. #19: The smoking episode. A girl named Gia was smoking at Stephanie's school, and tried to get her to do it. Needless to say, she ALMOST says yes, then backs out. Another Very Special Lame Episode. #20: Speaking of which, there's the episode where Gia (who is somehow friends with Stephanie now) goes joyriding with 2 guys, and Stephanie just barely avoids going. They crash, of course, and sustain injuries. What a coincidence! #21: The last episode of the next-to-last season. Lou Bond doesn't buy the house, and the Tanner family won't take all that money he's offering. A change of setting would have been a nice refresher for the show in my opinion. #22: The final episode. Michelle falls off her horse while riding on a trail when she should have been in a competition, and suffers amnesia. Her brain (in reality, her sister) shows up, and re-enters later on in the show. Meanwhile, Jesse and Joey are training for a tag-team wrestling match against the Swedish Spleen Stompers, and there's a problem here as well-it takes a LOT more than what they were doing to be trained to wrestle. I've seen Tough Enough and Beyond The Mat, and I've spoken with professional wrestlers before, and they would agree with me there. And finally, the ending. Just like the rest of the show, it was lame. Sure, Steve returned, but it wasn't quite enough. And with that ending, it jumped the shark for the last time. This show jumped a grand total of 22 times, placing the record safely out of reach. The fact that this show was on for eight seasons, much like the number of shark jumps, is mind boggling. Not to mention it gave us the Olsen Twins. Did I mention they were annoying? That's all (finally).
When Michelle fell off her horse and got amnesia. I think it was in 2 episodes, but I go for the second of the 2, which is when she tells herself how she got scared and then remembers her life and family again. I really loved the show when i was a kid, and still watch it from time to time, but the cheezy forgiveness music was a little much. Why couldn't my mom give me a hug no matter what I did, like drive a car into the kitchen or dump cement in the window!!!
too entirely lame too be any good. it would have been alright had it been axed after one or two seasons. but no it lasted 8 seasons . and the less said about bob saget the better
Any poster who mentioned Jesse and Becky moving into the attic as a jump moment is absolutely right. Each adult on the show appeared to pull in sixtuple-digit incomes, but Jesse and Becky couldn't get a house that was friggin' five minutes away because little Michelle would have been sad if Jesse left ("BUT WE'RE SP'OSED TO BE A BIG HAPPY FAMILY!"). Could you gag??? Since when should a three-year-old chimp determine where her thirty-year-old relatives are going to live? Once they were settled in the miniscule attic (Where the hell did they cook, by the way? Did they have a kitchen?), the shark was jumped. Audiences were soon treated to the shaggy-headed jackass twins ("MEAN DADDY!"), a visit from Jesse's disgusting Greek cousin (Stamos in a dual role--how BRILLIANT), and Joey's disturbing mullet expansion.
Full House jumped when Michelle seemed to be having great difficulty doing things at five years of age that Stephanie found to be easy (i.e., reading, shoe tying, dancing). Her older sisters seemed a lot smarter than Michelle when they were five and older.
This was one of my favorite shows from my childhood. It was always so much fun to watch. However, upon catching a few recent reruns on ABC Family, I discovered a definite "jump the shark" moment. It can be found in the episode where Jesse and Joey directs Michelle's first grade play. The moment comes at the Tanner home when Rebecca walks into the bathroom and discovers Danny bathing WITH her twin boys! The vision of Bob Saget's naked body in a bubble bath with two twin boys on his lap struck me as deeply disturbing. I haven't watched ever since.
Full House jumped the shark when it was apparent that Michelle lacked basic common sense. I mean, the girl buys these sucky things, like the action Rigby, the ugly Christmas tie for Danny, and the cut out of the appliance store owner. She also put a grapefruit in the planet diorama she made to represent the sun. An orange Nerf ball would have been better and it wouldn't have rotted.
1987: There is a very saccharin-sweet and treacly show on the air, and it became one of my guilty pleasures. Full House may have been too preachy and too SWEET, but it is just a show to watch and you really feel better. Until the early 90's when Michelle learned to talk. Then, we had to deal with her constant phrases (the most annoying one being "DUH!!!!)" because she never got in trouble for saying it when most kids would. She was never punished or yelled at. When Danny caught her in the swimming pool in the kitchen and he punished her, I wanted to stand up and applaud because it was so needed. Plus since everyone was getting older, the twins were added, and the show slid even more.
I think Full House jumped the shark from Day One. It has got to be the stupidest show on television. It's hard to believe that some channels waste their time playing reruns. Watching Full House is about as much fun as watching grass grow. Stephanie has driven me crazy since day one. She always cracked the lamest jokes and that "How rude!" crap got old after the first time she said it. DJ never really bothered me that much. But the one I absolutely LOATHED was Michelle. She has also driven me crazy since day one. The #1 reason I hate her is because she was played by the Olsen Twins! I hate them! They're over processed cheese! I never thought Michelle was cute or sweet. Funny? Yeah right! My cat has a better sense of humor than she does. I hate to point out the obvious but Michelle (and the Olsen Twins) was/were never cute and never will be cute. On the show they called her Little Zsa-Zsa {Gabor}: enough said. Bob Saget (a.k.a. Danny Tanner) got on nerves I never even knew I had. Was he supposed to have OCD or something? That got old the minute the show went on the air. Anyone who has an IQ that doesn't match their shoe size would not find the fact that someone has obsessive compulsive disorder funny or cute. Jesse didn't bother me too much. I thought the Forever thing was a bunch of crap too! And what about the music video? Give me a rest! In summary, Full House is the lamest most pathetic show on television
"Full House" is one of TV's biggest blunders. First, how could all those people (9 by show's end, not counting DJ's boyfriend-of-the-week, Gibbler, Stephanie's crush du jour, and Michelle's dweeby 2nd grade pals) live in one place without a boarding permit? Second, how did everyone get to be celebrities (Danny and Becky on "Wake Up San Francisco," Jesse with his band, the Smash Club and "Rush Hour Renegades," and Joey with standup, "Ranger Joe," and "RHRs.") Also, who could tolerate it when Michelle would say "You got it, dude" during the early years, or Stephanie would utter "How rude." Why did ABC let such a terrible program stay on the air so long, and why did Nick pick it up? The show is always: Stupid problems arise, obvious, yet weird solutions are developed, everyone hugs, and the crowd goes "Awwww..." Oh, please...
Full House jumped when the show started to focus on Michelle rather than the family concept. The Olsen clones deserve nothing worse than a bath in boiling peanut oil followed by a thorough whipping at the hands of a Catholic priest. Also, the Joey character has to be one of the worst TV characters ever thrusted on the American viewing audience. With his endless (HORRIBLE!) impressions and totally lame catch-phrases (Every utterance of Cut-it-out brings my baseball bat into the TV screen), Joey should have been tossed like Jesse's mullet. The real saving grace of this show was Lori Loughlin, whose killer body is the only reason to watch this show anyway.
This show would never happen in real life!I can't believe ABC had this show on for eight years it should've been canceled after they showed the first promo for it! I mean 3 straight guys living in the same house in San Francisco,although I thought Danny was kinda fruity.I did think D.J. was kinda cute until she cut her hair.But still,the show sucked,I hated Kimmy Gibbler and Michelle,they stunk up the show! Especially Kimmy!Why would you have a character with stinky-ass feet? What a ******** show!!!
This show never jumped. Yes it did get a little annoying with Danny who can always fix everything but it was a great show that the whole family could watch, not like the crap that's on TV now.
THE GOD DAMN MUSIC! THAT CRAP SAD MUSIC THAT CAME ON AT THE END OF EVERY EPISODE! Didn't that make anyone else want to stick a fork in their eye and swirl it around?
This show has always been terrible, it's jumped the shark so many different times, you can't just pinpoint one moment. First of all, the weak characters. Then there was the cheesy, predictable plotlines. At the end of every episode, one of the adults, usually Bob Saget or Uncle Jesse, taught DJ, Stephanie, or Michelle an important lesson, and that stupid cheesey music plays. Then they had the ridiculous plotlines. Michelle gets amnesia? They go to a deserted island, find aboriginals and Uncle Jesse does a big concert for them? Kimmy Gibler almost gets married? Uncle Jesse opens up a recording studio, so the beach boys heaer about it and decide to drop by his house? And the show had terrible logic too. Why is it that Uncle Jesse is a huge music star in later episodes, and occassionally gets surrounded by fans, but usually isn't recognized? And they had terrible attempts at catchphrases, such as "Got it dude." Overall, this show totally sucks
FULL HOUSE ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF A DAY ONE, ENTIRE SERIES SHARK JUMPER EVER! WHAT IRKS ME THE MOST ABOUT FULL HOUSE ARE A FEW THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, THE OLSEN TWINS. THEY ARE NOT PRETTY AT ALL! THEY MAY HAVE BEEN OK HERE, BUT AFTER FULL HOUSE, THEY FROZE QUICKER THAN THE SOUTH POLE! SECOND, UNCLE JESSE'S WEDDING CEREMONY TO BECKY! THERE WAS A LOT OF DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE TWO ON WHERE AND HOW TO HAVE IT. WHAT REALLY GETS ME ANGRY IS THE RECEPTION ITSELF IN NEBRASKA! JESSE DID NOT WEAR A TUX AND CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IT IS WHEN IT CAME TO ATTIRE? HUH? HUH? THE ANSWER IS AN QUITE, SHY, AND BORING ORGANIST WITH NO LIFE AND HIS ORGAN SO GODDAMN OUT OF TUNE! HIS SUIT WAS DARK GREY, HIS TIE WAS LIKE ONE YOU WOULD SEE ON THAT ******* MARK LINN BAKER, AND HIS PANTS WERE DARK GREY TOO. IT WAS A LUCKY THING HE WAS NOT WEARING GLASSES! GLASSES ON MANY CHURCH MUSICIANS MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE SMART ASSES WITH TYPICAL WHITE COLLAR JOBS! HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS FROM F****** CHICAGO WITH THAT UGLY BEARD TOO. WHY DIDN'T HE SHAVE IT? OH AND BY THE WAY, CHICAGO SUCKS! THE ONLY THING I LIKED ABOUT FULL HOUSE IS THAT IT'S SET IN CALIFORNIA AND THAT BOB SAGET DOES MUCH OF THE ENTERTAINING. LORIMAR REALLY MADE FULL HOUSE MORE OF A NIGHTMARE THAN IT'S OTHER LOUSY SHOW PERFECT STRANGERS.
Since Full House was a little before my time (I was born mid 1991, and was too young to care for the rest of the show's run, which is actually a good thing ~LOL~), I got all the Olsen crap (dolls, books, movies, videos, clothing, cosmetics, etc) shoved up in my face before I got a chance to see any of the reruns. Even though this show was before my time, I still think it jumped the shark from day one. Three {straight} men (one is obsessed with cleaning, one is obsessed with his hair and Elvis, and one does cartoon impressions and talks to puppets all day) living together in a house raising kids? Yeah, sure, that'll really happen. That wasn't even the part about this show that bothered me. What really bothered me was Michelle. She always got her way and everyone always gushed about how cute she was (I agree with the poster that said she looked like the Crypt Keeper 100 percent. In one episode in particular, I thought she looked like an ugly troll doll). They had all kinds of cute little nicknames for her, the most annoying of them all being Little ZsaZsa. She also had the lamest and most irritating catchphrases, including "You got it, dude!", "Don't worry, be happy!", "Aw, nuts!", "You're in big trouble, mister!", "Oh please!", and "DUH!!!", and she turned into a real little brat towards the end (more so than ever before). Stephanie and DJ were also annoying. I hated Stephanie's catchphrases, including "How rude!" and "Booby! Baby!". You know, now that I think about it, all the catchphrases on this show were annoying! There was "Have mercy!", "Cut it out!", "Oh Mylanta!", and "Whoa, baby!". I swear, my cat probably would have done a better job writing the script for this show. Another thing I couldn't stand about this show was the saccharine sweet music that played whenever one of the girls was supposedly "learning their lesson" (I also found the music they used to signal a commercial break rather annoying). The show's target audience was supposedly families. Yeah right! The parents would probably find the show irritating (Michelle saying DUH all the time and no punishment being inflicted on the girls when it should have been), a teenager would find it boring, stupid, and a waste of time, and the only one in the family who would probably get some delight out of this show would be the younger sibling (or maybe even the family pet, but even my hamster has better taste in television). I can see why this show earned lousy reviews. I don't even know why reruns are still being played. In fact, I don't even know why {or how} this pathetic excuse for a show lasted 8 seasons! Just a little note on the side: Another "Very Special Episode" some of you forgot to mention was the one where DJ helped out at the nursing home and found out the man she was spending time with suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
FULL HOUSE jumped the shark when Michelle started speaking and after Becky gave birth, to twins no less. There were just too many people in that full house at that point. Full House, we get it, OK?
If there was any television show that overstayed its welcome its Full House. The show should have ended when Jesse and Rebecca married. Whats worse is that they were the ones responsible for the Olsen Twins. Sure they were cute for the first few years but they became they monopolize the show later on. The Disneyworld episode was the worst when the writers made Michelle Princess and started bossing D.J. and Stephanie around. In real life they would beat the crap out of her and shoved that little tiara down her throat. And you know the show was on its last legs when they changed the opening credits and put the twins last as Michelle like the other stars no longer mattered. It was no wonder that John Stamos had enough playing second fiddle to those spoiled brats.
There are too many ways this show went to hell. I'm 12 and was too young to remember when Full House was showing it's last showings up to '95, so I still get to see the reruns. I'll start off by saying that the crappy make-up music that plays every single episode is extremely tasteless and just plain annoying. It always represents whatever difficult situation one or more of the talentless cast members are in and helping each other to get out of it and forget it all, but that's not how it is in the real world. I haven't learned a thing from any of the episodes I've seen, which is probably just about all of them. It's probably because I'm paying attention to the horrible acting each character is portraying. I swear the most decent actor on there is probably Joey, and the rest suck. Saget waits until just the right time to say something extremely stupid that's SUPPOSED to be funny, then there's one of the 1,000 laugh tracks featured in each episode. This happens about every 5 seconds per episode with any random cast member. One of the characters gets in a "relatively" dramatic situation in which they don't know what to do, as I stated earlier, more stupid jokes, senseless "make-up" music along with a fitting "make-up" scene, and that's one full episode (in a nutshell). This is the worst case of recycling I've seen in a show. Just take all of what I just said and add different pointless scenarios, and there you have Full House. The easiest way to describe this show is sugar with honey on top; it is just too sweet. One episode after another, all the cute characters make cute jokes and repeat their same cute catchphrases, but all that cuteness is shattered to pieces by a difficult problem that overtakes practically everyone in the household, then they just use their cuteness and make it all better, and as usual, there just HAS to be a happy ending. Now THAT's something ANYONE can relate to. I've never seen a family face that many problems in my life, then again it's just a show. It's certainly not something that when you're in a similar situation in the real world, you'd think to yourself: "What would DJ do, or what would STEPHANIE do". You never learn anything from it, and I mark my words. The only thing this show is for is a good laugh, or 5-year-olds that have a particular liking in awful, immature jokes that aren't fit for their age. Or, I must say, any age.
I think it is amazing that a show that most people seem to despise, was on for 8 years, and was at one point #7 in the Nielsens (even reaching #4 for a particular episode). I am one of the people who liked it but couldn't stand MICHELLE. The first two seasons were the best of the series because MICHELLE couldn't talk. Season 3 was pretty good, but by Season 4, it was THE MICHELLE SHOW!! The cast always thought this was because we liked Michelle...uh...NO!! The only reason is because the camera is on her like 60% of the TIME!! And everyone else gets the remainding time. All of Michelle's phrases were annoying the 2nd time around (Ex: You Got it, Dude, Ahhhh, Nuts, Whoa Baby, and the dreaded "Duh"). Sadly, there are people out there that (forgive me for what I'm about to say) actually LIKE MICHELLE. I don't know why, but that's why I prefer the early years when MICHELLE didn't know how to speak. Plus, by the later years, the show seemed to turn away from 3 men raising 3 girls to 3 men raising older girls with one having a wife, twins, and constant visits from Kimmy and Steve and Michelle's annoying friends and constant, "Michelle get out", "It's my room to, Steph", and the audience "awwwwwww" ing at MICHELLE whenever she got in trouble for things she truly deserved. MICHELLE ruined this show.
I have many thoughts on Full House, because it is one of my favorite shows. Like "The Brady Bunch," I have most of the episodes memorized. I watch this show as filler now when I am working on the computer or cleaning house, because it's familiar and keeps me company. My sons also love it. Anyway, I don't really think this show jumped the shark for me. It DID have terribly corny moments and some unrealistic moments, but I've learned to overlook them. Ok, here's the stuff that bugs me: Danny used to be a slob, but now he's a neat freak? I don't get that. Joey....uh, I don't like his character much at all actually. They always make him do those voices, which are pretty annoying, except for Mr. Woodchuck. But then when they try to give him a serious story line--barf-o-rama! I HATE that, or when they make him kiss a girl--ew ew ew is all I have to say. Ok now Jesse, he's been cool all the way through and pretty believable except for the fact that he graduated high school in one episode (a flashback) but then later on they said he had dropped out. Um, kinda stupid. But I liked his character, the aspiring musician and how he finally settled down with a wife and family. Now, DJ I liked. She represented a teenager very well and she's a great actress. Stephanie I also liked, and I never found her annoying like some people say. Sure she grew up and obviously got over that original cuteness that made her so endearing in the beginning, but she still acted well I thought. I did notice however that they always had to showcase the fact that she could dance. Whatever I guess, she's a good dancer. Now, the OLSEN TWINS! I like them, and probably always will. No, they aren't the best actresses, but they keep it real and were absolutely adorable in Full House. I did not believe the last episode when she lost her memory....the plot was stupid and could have been much much better for a last show, but oh well, whatcha gonna do? Kimmy I also loved except when she got serious. She was so funny when she was supposed to be funny, but blah blah blah when she had a serious moment. Didn't like it. Now Rebecca was ok in the beginning, but really grew into her character and I liked her much better towards the end, except for how she had a nice singing voice in one episode and then they had another episode where she couldn't sing a note. Again, why do they have to do that? Do they think we don't notice? Those boy twins that Jesse and Rebecca had were pretty forgetable. Oh, and Steve, DJ's boyfriend, I liked him. But all he did was eat. Nelson and Viper were much more interesting. So, all in all, this show is comfortable and cozy, not super entertaining, but familiar and mostly cute. And I know a lot of people like but pretend they don't!!
I haven't read all of the comments, so maybe I am mistaken, but I cannot believe there are not more comments about how bad Stephanie sucked. And not just after she hit puberty. She sucked from the beginning. That staged cuteness routine made me physically ill. And the Michelles -- I hate to bash kids for their looks -- but those children look like human troll dolls. This has got to be one of the worst shows in the history of the world. I think Saved by the Bell was better.
Full House is without a doubt one of the absolutely worst TV shows ever to be taped. I can give you so many reasons, but I'll try to limit it. 1.) Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and John Stamos for the three leads. Bob Saget is a dirty comedian trying to play off as a straitlaced single father. His preachyness and perfection got so annoying. He was never funny on this show, and if I had a father as lame as him, I would change my address immediately. This and Home Videos are awful AWFUL shows, and they are worsened by the talents of Bobby. Dave Coulier was awesome on that skit-based Nickelodeon show, but his stock went downward when he went onto this show. Those impresentations were never funny, who would laugh at impressions of old, retired cartoon characters? His impresenations got better in the later episodes (I loved his Joe Peschi), but he was never funny. Why did he have to make everything a joke on this show? I swore I would turn off the show if he did another "come on now, cut that out" or "is that made of.... wooooddd?", so I turned off the show a lot. I heard he and Alanis dated and she made the song "You Ought to Know" about him... they probably met back at their days on Nickelodeon. John Stamos used this show to broaden his music career... well, it sure wasn't broadened. He had the number one hit "Kokomo" as his tenure with the Beach Boys fell during Full House, but those other songs crashed and burned. And why did he go from rebel without a cause to a push over? ABC trying to soften the image to their shows once again. Why did the guys have the best jobs in the world too? A morning talk show host, prime time radio jocks, stand up comedian, and musician. Geez, fun life... Now onto the girls. D.J. was the biggest brat during the first season, but then got cool and the most realistic like during the rest of the show. Her character, along with Becky (she was HOT, and still is today), were probably the best ones on the show. Stephanie... middle child syndrom. She was annoying, never funny, and puberty was cruel to her. She never was overally developed in the storylines, and that's the way it goes. Michelle was the Urkel of this show (did Miller Boyett ALWAYS need one of these?) as the spotlight increasingly focused on her and the show became the Michelle show by the last season. She became such a stuck up brat and selfish, I remember that episode where Jesse and Becky were going to get their own house, Joey was going to get an apartment, D.J. was going away for school, so Danny was going to get a smaller house for Steph, Michelle, and him. Well Michelle throws a hissy fit, pouts, and so everyone decides to give into Michelle and stay put. WTF!!! That would NEVER EVER happen in real life, people grow up and need their space. That was the worst episode, they should have changed the plot, made them all move, and that be the finale episode instead of the stupid amnesia one. Oh, speaking of lame, the storylines were always the same: someone gets in trouble (NEVER Danny, either one of the girls, Jesse, or Joey), they try to hide it, soon the truth is found out, one character gets overally upset, runs upstairs, Danny talks to them, insert cheesy music, they are grounded for five seconds, and then they get pizza/ice cream/movie. UGH!!! Make me barf! I can see why Miller Boyett are out of work now, their shows in the 1980's/1990's were the lamest excuses for sitcoms ever. Family Matters is worse crap than this, Step by Step was a poor excuse to keep Patrick Duffy employed after "Dallas", and Hanging with Mr. Cooper was the first adult comedy they did before it had to be TGIFized and became lame! And ABC wonders why it has been the number three network before 1999's Millionaire craze... Full House is such bad television that I feel I became dumber by watching it for as long as I did. I'm glad I learned my lesson and have avoided the reruns to stop the brain damage from worsening.
Full House jumped the shark the day that Uncle Joey opened his mouth and did his first impression.
Same Character, Different Actor- never happened Birth- Nicky and Alex- most unnecessary part of the series Death- Pam (before the show started)- to show how bad the show really is; Papouli (Greek one-shot character used to teach Michelle about death) Ted McGinley- never came on (to busy with Married...With Children), but the Olsen Twins are a good enough substitute for shark-jumping Puberty- DJ and Stephanie (DJ had a much easier time- also, did anyone notice the lack of "first period" very special episodes?) Singing- The Beach Boys might as well have been included in the opening credits Live!- Thankfully never done I Do- Jesse and Becky- an excuse to make the crowded house in San Francisco even more crowded They Did It- It stemmed from their "I Do," and it led to "Birth" The Movie- Thank God it never happened Moving- Jesse and Becky in one episode, but all moves were derailed by that brat Michelle Special Guest Star- Urkel- Do Miller/Boyett need to advertise their shows in other shows? New Kid In Town- First it was Gibbler, then Stephanie had weird elementary school friends, then she grew up and had teen friends, DJ got a boyfriend or five (Steve, Nelson, Viper, etc.), then Michelle had her bratty first-grade friends A Very Special...- DJ's eating disorder, Stephanie wrecks Joey's car, Alzheimer's, Michelle swims inside, the birth of Comet, Michelle has a fish mishap and a bird mishap, the list goes on and on Hair Care- Jesse stops obsessing about it Exit...Stage Left- The old moms- Doris Roberts sort of made the early episodes almost worth watching Graduation- DJ graduates middle school, Michelle graduates preschool, Stephanie (going from 3rd to 4th grades) feels sleighted, so the adults whip up a fake graduation for her (no one would do that for a kid in reality) Color- Always was broadcast in color There are many more shark-jumps for "Full House," but I don't have enough room to post them.
I mean there were lots of times when Full House jumped the shark but the biggest has got to be when, the kids were basically grown up, DJ in high school, Stephanie in middle school and Michelle doing okay in elementary and what was suppose to turn into Joey and Jesse helping out for a few months while Danny got over the death of his wife and the initial shock of raising his three young daughters alone, turned into nobody wanted to move out. I mean give me a break the whole idea is ridicilous. First off to start with Joey I could see him wanted to stay with Danny when he was a struggling stand up comedian, he gets free room and food and all he has to do is look after 3 brats a couple of hours a day, but after he started making cash what kept him there. This guy had his own hit childrens tv show, he had to be making coin, why would he stay in Danny's basement when he could easily get a house or apartment of his own. Here this guy is 30 plus and living in some guys basement, the only reason I coul see him staying around is because he was secretly watching the 3 girls in the shower. Then you have Joey his situation is even more bizarre, I mean of course he would help out his brother in law at the begining in raising his nieces but didn't he ever get tired of them and having to sneak chicks up to his bedroom in the middle of the night he was a grown damn man. Also when he was a struggling musician I can see him wanting to mooch off Danny, but hell this guy had his own club, a moderately successfully singing career, a radio talk show and a few other things couldn't he get his own place. Then they just went totally over the edge when he gets married to a chick who definietly has money as she had her own TV talk show and instead of moving in with her or buying a house with her they move into the attic of his brother in law's house. So now everytime they bang and the floor gets to rocking Danny is banging on the ceiling with a broom like the old nosey neighbor down stairs who hates when you make noise.( I don't even know how they had kids when they couldn't ever finish banging). This show is utter garbage and I can't believe it lasted as long as it did. I got to go I think I'm about to mooch off of Danny Tanner too.
FULL HOUSE was, and is, an incredibly bad TV show. The three dads are goofballs, especially the no-talent Bob Saget. The girls appear to be raising themselves-the authorities should have taken them away from those bozos. Why Jesse and Joey stayed in that house is a mystery- let's see, could it be RATINGS? If the show was debuting in 2005 Joey would be cast as a gay man, I think. I also think FULL HOUSE is in the all-time top ten worst show category.
This show jumped from the beginning. First Danny (and the gang) is a slob & their moms have to move in to help clean the house. Then all of a sudden Danny is a clean freak. One episode he said that his friends wanted to be lawyers & doctors & he wanted to be a maid (gay). The moms change throughout the show. Jesse had at least 3 different moms. Jesse's last name changes. What's up with that. Jesse was an exterminator, now he's in advertising, wait, now he has his own Radio Show & Club. Jesse's parents had black hair, Jesse has black hair, shouldn't Jesse's Sister (Danny's Wife) have black hair (Greek thing). Danny has black hair, yet all 3 girls are blonde. Jesse has black hair, Rebecca has brown hair (sometimes dirty blonde), yet their twins are blonde as anything. Also the episode where Jesse does not know which of his kids is which. Shall I Go On?
I could stand watching "Full House" once in a while, but this show jumped The Shark a few times. A few examples. 1. Michelle's (Olsens) pencil bed is bigger than her sisters' beds. Watch the episode in which Steph moves into Michelle's room to see what I mean. 2.Jesse & Becky decide to live in the attack because Michelle (mostly) doesn't want them to leave. 3.They don't sell the house because Michelle doesn't want to move. Hmm... See a pattern? 4.Danny and Vicky don't get married because the producers want to keep the show about a single father raising 3 girls. Despite all these jumps, most kids, especially younger kids, seem to love the show.
The show was always horrible. Michelle (the Olsen twins) was only on the show to make dumb old people and little kids watch it because they thought that she was "cute" or "sweet." This was made obvious when they have a close-up of her face whenever she laughs. When she got older, they got the new twins to keep those old people and little kids watching it.
I think "Full House" did a shark jump with the introduction of toddler twins Nicky and Alex. They were so stupid and naughty! They also did not look like Jesse with their long, girly blond hair and those bangs they couldn't even see through. Jesse was kind of dumb himself. He kept calling a turtle an amphibian when it is clear that turtles are reptiles. When he taught the boys about shapes, he called a pentagon a five-sideagon. I suspect he burned giant holes in his brain by by constant gelling of his hair. I wish they would have at least had them look like little boys, and not girls. The other boys they played with had decent hair and it seemed unfair they couldn't because hair cuts caused their father emotional pain.
When they changed Jesse's last name from Cochran to Gutsopolis...I guess so they do shows involving Jesse's supposedly Greek heritage with that Popouli guy who dies and "Starbros". What is up with that? those shows were so lame. If danny married jesse's sister, that would mean that the girls on the show would have some greek genes in their blood since their mom would have been Greek also...but this doesn't seem to be the case. this is one of my guilty pleasures though and i admit i still watch it, maybe because it is so lame and it intrigues me.
Danny should never had been allowed to crack jokes on this show. He was terrible at it. Every episode had corny, un-believeables drama in it.'I promised Kimmy I'd go ice-skating with her, so you go to the Beach Boys concert, Dad,' and 'I'm not going to prom, because Michelle might get her memory back while I'm gone.' Yeah, okay.
I am yet another one of those who watched Full House when I was a kid and enjoyed it. I guess that kids just have lower standards than adults. I've been watching Full House on ABC Family recently, and it absolutely SUCKS. Another person called Full House TV bubblegum. That's an apt description. First and foremost, it is saccharine sweet. Only 7th Heaven is more saccharine than FH, and that's saying something. The talks that Danny and the other adults have with the kids could theoretically stand on their own, if it weren't for the uber-annoying "awwww" and sickeningly-sappy music they play during the "heart-to-hearts". Both elements together ruin any semblance of goodness that this show has. Full House does have a couple (and I do mean a couple) of genuinely amusing moments. But they are few and far between. Many moments are unintentionally funny. Others are unintentionally disgusting; I may be the only one here who thinks this way, but Jesse's actions towards Michelle seem almost pedophilic sometimes. Speaking of annoying audience phenomena, as others have: I want to do something drastic when I hear the studio audience "oooh" when characters kiss on this show. It's like the people in the audience are in awe because they've never seen kissing before ("Hey! What is he doing to her? He's eating her face!") I am also beginning to realize how much of a brat Michelle was during the course of this show. Personally, I think that the Michelle character was fine as a baby, but as a kid, she was, as another person put it, the brat of brats. Case in point: newly-married Jesse is so heartbroken that he will have to live spearately from Michelle that he moves into the Tanner household! Do you really think that a newlywed would willingly move into his brother-in-law's house for a spoiled little five year old? What makes the whole situation even more sick (and unreal) is the fact that Becky, who is a pretty soild character in my opinion, approves of the move into Danny's house! I agree with other people who said that Jesse's twins were the "cute" substitutes for Michelle, who had all but grown up. The two brats really didn't have a purpose on the show; they'd make an appearance or two so that the audience would be able to go "awwww". No special effort was made to give them separate personalities or anything like that; they were the "cute relief", to coin a new phrase. In my opinion, Full House didn't start out as a bad show. It had potential - to be funny and to be a good sitcom in the traditions of Roseanne and others like it. Saccharine sweetness and over use of cuteness is what killed this show.
Full House never really jumped the shark, but if there was going to be a point in time when it did jump the shark, I think that it was probably when Vicky and Danny were involved. Danny should have stayed single, because who wants to see him making out anyway?
"Full House" wasn't really that great to begin with. It was overtly slushy, trivial and the actors weren't especially good - sure, Stamos was pretty hot, but that alone didn't make him a good actor. Even so, it maintained a certain charm to it. Probably because it was so extremely cheesy. However, from the wretched day those Olsen twins learnt, the show went down the hills. And considering where it stood then quality-wise, it was nearing the core of the earth in no time. Michelle is, along with The Cosby Show's Olivia, probably the most annoying, disgusting child character ever. Each and any episode from that point on is somewhat linked to Michelle, each and every character's only goal in life seems to satisfy this little girl's needs. No matter what Michelle did, each character always finds out it was he/she did something wrong. Like, for example neglecting Michelle. Or to bar something from Michelle. Or simply not to make her unhappy. It happened about a million times a character wouldn't do a certain thing that could bring him/her further in life, like f.ex. moving, marrying, take a new job whatever, because they'd make lil Michelle *unhappy*! To be honest, I always found it pretty twisted, what those writers would come up with just to make Michelle the centre of attention. Now that's what I call disgusting.(Along with the fact, that some*thing* like the Olsen twins ever could become a multi-million dollar cash-in phenomena.)
I never watched Full House while it was still being aired, but when I was 13, I started watching the reruns. I loved it then, but now I see how it SUCKS! The episodes that annoy me the most are 1) The one where Jesse and Becky have the play group at their house and Nicky and Alex will only play with each other. And it gets SO serious, they have to go to therapy. And the therapist teaches them that the twins don't always have to play together. WICKED ********! No siblings, especially twins, have ever needed to be taught to be independant. 2 and 3) The one where Jesse and Becky move into the attick and the one where the family doesn't sell the house. They were almost identical. The family wants to make changes that are pretty reasonable. But because MICHELLE doesn't like that idea and makes pouty face, they decline. Very realistic, NOT! 4) DJ's eating disorder. She doesn't eat for three days, loses weight, and then passes out. Then she decides she will stop skipping meals, so bam, the eating disorder goes away. Also, remember the part with the chocolate cake? When Michelle says, "Dig in," her dad says, "Michelle, you're not being polite," and then when she crawls on the table and eats it like a dog, he smiles and says, "Aw isn't that cute! I think someone needs a bath." (or whatever). 5) The "We Love Our Children" fund. Stupid, irritating, unrealistic, enough said. 6) Jesse's Greek cousin who flirts with Becky. They could have at least found someone other than John Stamos to play that role. Not that it would have made it less painful, but it would be less lazy. 7) Stephanie falls in love with her friend Brett. And she felt like a jerk for winning because she betrayed her boyfriend, how sweet, NOT! 8) The one where Stephanie and Michelle take the plane to New Zealand because DJ is spending time with Steve. And at the end, everything was all better because DJ gave them presents. And the ongoing annoyances, Michelle says, "You got it dude," Joey's jokes and impressions, Jesse's singing, no consequenses for naughty antics, and every episode ending with sappy music, a hug, and an "AW." The only episode that is worth watching is the one where Rusty writes the love letter because it's funny, clever, and there is none of the usual crap.
It has been said several times that Jesse and his parents decided to change their last name after Jesse's Greek grandparents visited. That doesn't follow--the grandparents didn't visit until the start of Season Three (and Jesse's parents were nowhere to be seen during this episode), and Jesse already was, IIRC, using the Katspolis surname during Season 2. Does anyone remember is this is for certain? and it made no sense that Nick and Irener weren't around to see the grandparents--one of their parents, obviously, nor where they around later in the series when the grandfather visited again, abut to die.
Full House jumped the shark during the 1994-1995 season, its 8th and final season ever. Boy, did the production go WAY down! The writing got stupid on some episodes (and some lifted plots from other shows), including the one with Comet running away and falling in love with a girl dog, as well as the one with the guys trying to find a certain game for the kids. The production budgets seem to have dropped, since the special effects on some episodes (such as the one with the car on the roof with a thunderstorm approaching) are really phony-looking (they were quite better in the other seasons), and instead of writing new music, "canned" music was used for the show, including "needle-drops" from some old stock music libraries! Plus, Nicky and Alex and Comet mostly got stupid, and some characters began to look ugly (most notably Stephanie and Joey.) Worse yet were some of the new characters they introduced, especially this dumb boy named Duane, where all he would say is "whatever!" Season 8 was obviously the worst "Full House" season of all!
Another show that really is in another dimension when it comes to shark-jumping! But let's be honest, what was up with Joey Gladstone!!? Okay, so Danny Tanner is a widower, inept at raising his three young daughters upon the sudden death of his wife. So far, so good. His best friend moves in to help. No major problems yet. His best friend Joey remains for 2 years. Possible, but teetering toward Fonzie's waterskis. 8 years later, still living with his friend, watching cartoons and playing with puppets! From what we can tell, he's never had any known sexual relations with a woman, so assuming he isn't gay, perhaps he operated a secret child pornography ring in the basement. When it comes to his character, he needs to 'cut it out!'
I must have severe mental problems because for some reason, I actually like this show. I discovered it in the summer of 1999 when it was airing in syndication on the TBS and WGN networks, and it's just stuck with me. Maybe it's for sentimental reasons, but especially when I was in 7th grade (2003-2004), I was absolutely IN LOVE with "Full House." I mean, OBSESSED. Now I'm more of a casual fan, but I still love it and I own all the seasons that are currently available on DVD. Yes, it's extremely cheesy; Michelle was an obnoxious brat from mid-season four and on; Stephanie was ugly and lost her charisma in season 7; and Joey was unfunny in the later seasons. Nev ertheless, I love it. The best season was four, hands down. I'm not going to say it's a great show for everyone, because it's not. But I know that if I'm ever down, there's a certain San Francisco family in my video cabinet that's always there for me. :)
Let's face it, this show was never going to win any best written awards or best show awards, but it was kind of watchable. Despite this, the show jumped so many times it's not even funny. 1) When Becky and Jesse had those twins. I was ok with Becky and Jesse getting married because Becky actually brought some entertainment factor to the show, but those kids were annoying as heck. They weren't bad in their first season on the show...when they couldn't talk. But they turned into little spoiled brats when they aged 3 or so. But hey, kudos to the writers for not making them magically turn 6 in a season like other shows do with new babies. They followed it correctly (Born Season 5, aged 1 season 6, aged 2 season 7, starting pre-school season 8, meaning aged 3). 2) Steve. ...What was the point of him again? I wouldn't mind it if they gave him a recurring role or something, but he was in EVERY EPISODE for like a season and a half. He was annoying and his character was cheesy anyway (GOT ANY HOT DOGS IN THE HOUSE?!? he would say as he scarfed down the whole fridge without anyone caring). Him and DJ wound up breaking up anyway. 3) Danny and Vicky get engaged and then break up all within a season. This all happened during Season 7, which I believe is the "downfall season" of Full House. Ok, what was the point of all of the stupid episodes we had to sit through during Seasons 5 and 6 of how "Danny and Vicky were meant to be together". The sad part is, they could have had a great series finale with Danny and Vicky getting married, DJ moving to college, and Jesse, Becky, Joey, and the twins finally getting places of their own. But no, they had to have them break off their engagement and then they gave us the worst season finale in history about Michelle falling off her horse (I'll get to that later). Oh, and the reason they broke up- A GAME SHOW?!?! Give me a break. If their love is so "true", losing a game show shouldn't break up their engagement. 4) Everyone gets famous. Danny and Becky are talk show hosts, Jesse and Joey have a radio show...yet, they're all still living together when Jesse probably has enough money, between his band, club, and radio show, to buy his family four beachfront mansions. It got unrealistic at this point (as if it wasn't already). 5) The final season. What kind of crap was that? Every episode was "The Michelle Show". It had lost what it had in it's mid-series point (S4 and S5 were definitley it's peak, though they weren't great either). And then the series finale with Michelle falling off of her horse. That wasnt't just bad because it didn't properly close the show, it was just BAD. Not "not good", it was BAD. They could've made it good, but it SUCKED. Plain and simple. So yeah, I didn't buy the first season on DVD and I won't buy the last. After they release Season 7, my FH collection will be complete.
When michelle grew up and wasn't cute anymore. She just became this girl who was all innocent and couldn't do anything wrong. On top of all that michelle was played by these twins who couldn't act yet they starred in like three more crappy shows.
Some of you need to chill out. You wish they were dead and DJ is a fat pig? For crying out loud, what'd they do to you? I also find it funny that people are saying "It was awful the entire time it was on." If you're watching it this whole time, you must like it. Anyway, there are little things that combined make for sad TV. Now, I liked the show growing up, I watch it every now and then but: 1) Jesse becomes a rock star and he craves attention every time he's on screen, 2) they made Kimmy crazy. This is similar to the Jackie effect from Roseanne-character that is spunky becomes crazy, 3) Joey became a joke-Dave Coulier is actually a cool guy and they make him look like a doof. Check out the sweaters! And the woodchuck thing was never funny. I think Dave got a raw deal. 4)Didn't know what to do with Stephanie-She was pry the funniest of the cast through the first few years; but as all middle child characters go, she wasn't given much attention. Likely, she would've been the more "deviant" of the 3-they could've played that up but she was strong enough not to be pressured to smoke.
The show, in my opinion, was perfectly fine in the beginning. Albeit a bit cheesy, still fine. But once the bad parenting began, it was all down hill. Seriously, Im sorry for whoever bears those three mens' kids. They slowly turn the kids into spoiled brats. Like the episode where Danny has to punish Michelle for the first time, for example. I can watch the show, but episodes like these are pathetic. What soft moron gives into the pouty lip? Or the puppy dog eyes? Or ANY of these lame, uneffective, stupid little "tricks" the kids use to get their way? Not to mention the twins, whom Jesse treats like little kings. He acts like if his 4-YEAR-OLD children say "I hate you", he is a horrid parent for grounding them. This, my friends, is a perfect example of horrible parenting.
This show jumped the shark at the beginning, but it definitley cleared when Michelle lost her memory and was then able to get every bit of it back in about 2 days. My sister and I could not get over that!
Okay, everyone knows the real answer. Full House jumped the shark the second it premiered. How this show lasted is beyond me, seeing most shows that bad nowadays are cancelled immediately. First of all, it was clearly a rip-off of Three Men and a Baby (which, probably not coincidentally, premiered around the same time as the pilot) except instead of one baby, there were three. Second, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen should never have had ANY RIGHT TO ACT, WHATSOEVER. The show ended up being only about Michelle. Her older sisters never had these dumb little plots with their friends... actually, they never really had friends, did they? Thus beginning the process known as creating the most annoying teenage marketing tools - twin girls who make a living by saying things like "You've got it dude!" "Whoa baby!" and that stupid pouty thing she used to do. (When DJ got Stephanie and her in trouble and Danny is saying something to them about how he's going to ground them, Michelle says, "Even your little munchkin?" and pouts like that. Boo-freakin-hoo.) Okay, third - that reminds me, Danny would always be like "You're grounded" and they'd be all "It's okay. I deserve it!" Okay, WHAT kid is like that? Especially since those kids got into some of the most crazy things ever (flying to NEW ZEALAND, crashing the car into the kitchen, and later a cement mixer...) and Danny never seemed to mind, he was just supposed to be the "perfect father", and grounded his kids often when it wasn't necessary. So what I want to know is, why did he get Jesse and Joey (who basically mooch off him, I mean it's not like they're paying rent) to "help him raise his kids"? It's probably his fault his wife died anyway - I mean, in that household, she probably committed suicide. (My mom died because of a drunk driver! Uh... sure. It's NEVER the person who dies fault, is it? So true to real life...) And yes, there is no way they could possibly be Greek - wasn't the girl's mother blonde? Uh... sure. They just threw that Greek part in because John Stamos wanted to bring in his Greek culture (thus resulting in Jesse's name being changed and the cultural references, though in the flashback video, Pam is shown as being blonde... odd.) Those girls must have a different father too, since he is dark haired/eyed, and is Jesse the twins' father? THAT would make an interesting mystery. And honestly, NOBODY wants to live in a house with eight other people like that, especially when only one person owns it. I can barely get by living with three. Some other things that bothered me - the house itself. As someone said, that area is worth about a million dollars, and it wouldn't be a surprise the Tanner's were living there with all the money they had (Danny being on TV in the beginning, etc) but seriously, are ANY one of those houses that big on the inside? The stairs are way at the other end of the house, and when the front of it is shown, there is nothing to the left of the bay window in the living room. The door is also one step up higher than the rest of the house, which I find pointless. They also want us to assume the two windows on the front are in (from left to right) Stephanie and DJ's (later Stephanie and Michelle's) room, and Michelle's (later DJ's) room - they always zoom in on each window when the next scene is in that room - yet where the rooms are on opposite sides of the upstairs hallway would be architecturally impossible. I know the MENSA members who created this probably weren't thinking about this, but it pisses me off nonetheless. And how come Joey was sleeping in that space under the (front) stairs, and Jesse had a room? But wait - they gave Joey an apartment in the basement, bathroom and all, and Jesse is stuck in what used to be Stephanie's room. Shouldn't he have moved down with Joey, and Stephanie got her room back, as was addressed in the episode where Jesse is going to move into the attic (I think?) We also find out there is this huge attic that is basically a third story on their obviously-two story house (and what is up with that high ceiling in the living room if the girls' bedrooms' are above it? I don't get it...) yet when they made the apartment in the basement for Joey, they were giving up their garage space for what was a huge useless area in the attic. But of course, when Jesse moves up there. Joey ditches his apartment now for an upstairs bedroom and forces Stephanie to share with DJ. Shouldn't DJ, being the oldest (and I think Stephanie and Michelle are closest in age) be able to have her own room? She did get it later on when she and Michelle switched, but JESUS! Another thing - when Danny is turning 33, and Michelle (who is about 5 at this point) tells him he looks like he's 92. Okay, people. DJ is about nine years older than Michelle, so she's... 14ish, thus making Danny 18/19 when she was born. If he is a TV news anchor, he more than likely had to go to college (and I think it is addressed he DID go to college with Joey) yet he somehow managed to do this as a teenage father? But hey, they end up getting millions later, and they're fine. And that millionaire guy didn't buy their house for all that money (even though it was so totally worth it, since at this point, it had a recording studio in the basement and stuff) I mean come on, shouldn't they have just gotten out of San Francisco? And with all their money, it is stated several times that the kids go to public school. I don't know what the public schools are like there, but where I live in Boston, the public schools downtown (and in most surrounding cities, including where I live) the schools are bad, and most people who have the money send their kids to private school. Wow, just in writing this I have realized how many errors the creators of Full House actually made. That whole "problem-solving music" (as my sister and I call it, when Danny is being the know-it-all father and solving the problem with his daughters and that annoying music played) well THAT had to be the worst part of the entire show! But, in spite of this, I will admit to watching Full House when I am bored. =)
I don't know if the show actually jumped the shark, I just think it get's boring after the age of ten. It gets repetitive, even if its aimed for a older audience. It need a new vibe, with all the Jesse and Becky fighting and making up every other episode and Michelle with the you got it dudes.
This show jumped the shark when it turned into "Michelle...and the rest". The Olsen twins are extremely overrated-bad actresses,not THAT cute,and if that's not enough, once in a while, they caterwaul out of tune and call it singing! The worst of it is that Stephanie(my favorite Tanner)got shunted off to the side and dressed in the world's ugliest clothes (in the last season) and got episodes that were repeats of D.J.'s. The episode where annoying Kimmy and Jesse get locked in the SmashClub's storeroom was also super-lame; does EVERY sitcom HAVE to have a locked in a room/trapped in a stuck elevator episode? P.S. Bob Saget was totally dorky and helped to perpetrate the negative stereotype of "overprotective father-of -daughters=frantic jerk".
Look, this show either jumped or it didn't. For some people, it never jumped, because it never set foot in the water; that's how much some people hate it. And I understand that. It's one of my favorite TV shows, and yet theoretically, it's a piece of crap. I don't give credit to the writers, the creators, or any of the behind-the-scenes crew. I credit the cast and my childhood for my love for "Full House." Technically, it's not a great show. But I love it. As a fan, it's hard to say it "jumped the shark" because I never liked it for its comedic merits to begin with. It has sentimental value. But, if I did have to put my finger on a single point in the show where I thought it jumped... not from its level of quality or how much I like it, but, simply from what it was at its peak... I'd say either at some point in season 7 or at the beginning of season 8. It changed a little bit in tone in those latter seasons, and while I still enjoy them, I'd say "Full House" peaked between seasons 4 and 5. There's a few episodes in those seasons that are almost universally entertaining - almost. The main problem with those last seasons is Michelle. Not only did the show focus on her too much (i.e., the finale, which should have been the "A House Divided" episode - much better episode for the finale in my opinion), but she was spoiled. Particularly that episode where Danny made D.J. take Michelle to the concert instead of Stephanie because it wasn't "fair." Now THAT pissed me off. Anyway, "Full House": you love it or you hate it. But don't bad-mouth it - I'm a fan and I know exactly where you're coming from; you don't have to prove anything to me. I know.
This show is the biggest piece of crap ever to be broadcast! Every kid I've ever known is drawn to it, which instantly annoys every adult within earshot. I think the producers used some sort of subliminal brainwashing technique to get ANYONE to watch it. Will someone please destroy all copies of the reruns??? AARGH!
I like this show alot. But I do admit that it can be corny. It also annoys me how the kids never really get punished. I also don't like Alex and Nicky, I think they are really annoying.
This show is so bad my kids even hate it. The other day, one of my sons was listing every show on tv he'd rather watch than Full House, including Barney, all Disney Channel shows, cooking shows and the Weather channel. Truly, one of the most pitiful shows ever. But this is really what I wanted to comment on: Did Alanis Morisette really write "You Oughtta Know" about her real-life break up with Dave Coulier (aka "Joey")? That has to be some kind of urban legend, right? That song was so freaking awesome & then to imagine her singing it about that mullet-headed, cartoon-imitating, slightly-overweight dork is just inconceivable to me. It might not be a shark-jumping moment for the show, but it definitely was a shark-jumping moment for my having any respect for Alanis Morissette. Jesus!
Jumped the shark the moment Bob Saget was signed on to the cast. Whoever told this man he had talent did the world a tragic disservice.
