Unaired Pilot with Louie Anderson as Lou Appleton - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bump!

I still really wanna see this thing surface into the light of day. Does anyone know if it has yet?

I still say it'll probably suck. Cause, I'm a huge Mark Linn-Baker fan and he's the main reason I started watching the show. But, still. It would be WEIRD to see a different Larry. A fat Larry. LOL.

I would love to see the Louie Anderson edition of Perfect Strangers!

God bless you always!!!

I'd love to see it, too. I can't imagine Louie Anderson in the role. MLB played Larry so hyper. Louie was so low-energy.

That youTube clip of the Pat Sajak Show is a hoot! Poor Melanie! She had no idea Louie had been fired. Talk about awkward!

To me, this rendition of the opening episode should've been included on the first season DVD. I could be wrong, but doesn't the first season DVD of Full House include the original copy of the show's first episode? An actor named John Posey plays Danny in it.

God bless you and him always!!!

The first season DVD release of Full House did include the unaired pilot with John Posey as Danny Tanner.

They definitely should have included it as a bonus episode on the Perfect Strangers - The Complete First and Second Seasons DVD. I don't think any clips from it have ever been uploaded.

This page has a lot of photos from it.

^^^ Thank you.

I wonder how much time went by before the episode was filmed again. One thing that I can't help but notice is Bronson Pinchot being in different clothes compared to what we see on him during the episode re-shooting. His hair is also slightly longer in the second filming compared to the first. I love him so much.

God bless you and him always!!!
