Any Full House fans here? I used to watch the show all the time...a few months ago I saw the complete series box set at my local F.Y.E...for over a hundred bucks :o I'd like to get it one day, but I don't have 100+ bucks to drop on it right now. Anyway, seeing it reminded me of the show and how I used to enjoy it so much, and I searched online to see if it still aired on any channels...and sure enough, Nickelodeon airs it every night as a part of their "Nick at Nite" block. I've been watching it almost every night ever since, and wanted to see if anyone of you guys like it or have memories of it as well.

Paging Uncle Powder, your Full House fan thread is ready.

Liked it as a kid...not 100% sure it's aged that well, though.

Oh, I'm assuming Powder's a fan? And yeah, although it hasn't aged too well I still find it enjoyable, mostly for nostalgia, I guess. And who could forget all of the catchphrases? :lol:

To this day I love Jodie Sweetin.

[NinjaPug]

Oh yeah. I loved me some Full House, Perfect Strangers and Step by Step when I was growing up. Loved the TGIF lineup.

[TMNT_Guy]

Ah, Full House...part of ABC's classic TGIF block, back when television was worth watching. Just thinking about it gives me warm, fuzzy memories...

[NinjaPug]

Damn that video brought back some great memories. Some great TV shows in the TGIF lineup.

[MikeandRaph87]

Grew up watching it and still love it. One of the very few things I always watched. Its cheesiness does not age but so well but the show overall does. Not much like it anymore. Great storylines and always makes me laugh to this day. I have wanted to see more since it cancelled back in elementary school such as in a renunion tv movie.

Ugh, IKR? The closest we got was Bob Saget, John Stamos and Dave Coulier reprising their roles as Danny, Jesse and Joey on a skit from the Jimmy Fallon show recently. Also, the 2014 super bowl commercial...kinda.

Yes,plus the Jesse And The Rippers musical guestspot on Late Night five months before that brilliant skit. Lori and Bob(guest the pevious night) were there. A reunion movie,just to check in on them and tie up a loose end like Danny and Vickie getting married. That is all I ask! They have several private reunions but not reall for the fans to see.

[RaphAndDonnie]

I like Full House. I've watched it since I was young so I think the only thing that makes me watch it on Nick at Night anymore is nostalgia. I was actually listening to Talkin' Toons With Rob Paulsen a while ago and Dave Coulier was on there, talking about how he still has the Mr. Woodchuck puppet!

Oh, he still has it...but unfortunately some stupid dog decided to chew his face off...

[MikeandRaph87]

Its truely unfortunate,but there must be more than one of the woodchuck puppet because three and a half monrhs after the revealtion Mr. Woodchuck reappeared.http://31.media.tumblr.com/d0dcb35f296927925a826889dc3295a0/tumblr_n083qyfNiz1qhub34o2_r1_500.png

Obsessed with that show growing up. John Stamos had a ridiculously large amount of influence when I was crafting a "persona" for the rest of the world to see, as we all do when we're young and finding ourselves. To this day, he's still in some ways my hero. Partly because, if I'm not mistaken, he really WAS banging Lori Loughlin at some point, and I think that's just super. I think it was early on and that's why they kept her around longer than her character was meant to, until eventually she just caught on.

Candace Cameron was a few years older than me so I always had a big crush on her, especially the later seasons, obviously. Seeing her nowadays, she turned out fantastic, and I'm glad she didn't lose her sh*t like some of her co-stars did. I'm not the most religious guy in the world, but if that's what it takes to keep you from huffing coke like a vacuum, then more power to ya. Andrea Barber also turned out alright lookin' by the end of things. I always felt really bad for Kimmy Gibler; she got treated way worse than she deserved, some of that wasn't really very funny, but eh. I always wondered why she more or less stopped acting as soon as that show ended.

Jodie Sweetin, I'unno man. She's gorgeous, but man, what a train wreck she turned into for a while. You don't hear about her as much as Lindsay and the rest, but she's had her share of bumps... both in the road and up her nose (ZING!). I do hope she's turned it around, especially since she's got kids now, but I'm always worried about her. Way too young to have that many marriages, divorces, kids, and stints in rehab. :ohwell:

Anyways, I still catch that show a few times a week. When I was a kid it used to air in two one-hour back-to-back blocks on WPIX Channel 11 from 5-6pm and then on the channel 22 "Philly 57" syndicated network from 6-7pm, so I used to watch it more than probably any other show, for a few years. Ever since, it's been rare that I haven't watched it at least once a week. I love it, it's corny as f*ck but there's such an innocence to it. It kind of makes me sad that something so wholesome, coming from such a pure place, is so easily derided as cheesy, cornball, overly-sentimental fluff. I mean, it IS, but... why is that so bad? What's that say about us as a species? I'unno, I probably wouldn't like it so much if I didn't grow up with it, but I do think it's a really solid all-ages show.

I, too, wish I had the box set but can't quite afford it. One day. Just so I can hear the extended Season Premiere cut of the theme song whenever I want to. :P

[the fixer]

I used to love watching the show as a kid!
Still, do actually. I'm probably still a kid... :D
I'm the proud owner of seasons 1 through 4 on DVD. They haven't released further seasons out here. :(

Funny thing is, I mentioned the show to my Goddaughter (who's 14) last Christmas and she said she watched it all the time a few years ago. I couldn't believe she'd heard of it- let alone seen it.
That show has really had a lasting appeal, apparently. :)

[Leonardo87]

I'm still a big fan of the show then and now. Obviously own all the seasons on DVD. Some people thought I was weird loving this show, but who cares what they think lol.

[MikeandRaph87]

Leo, John and Lori dated in 1984 when she was 19 and he was 20 back when they were getting started as actors. After he got the part of Blackie Parrish things did not work out. After that if one was not in a relationship with another the other one was. John believes openly she is the one who got away and say they are each other's first loves. I guess they get a happy ending in tv land. The small world of them playing a married couple on tv for years and dated before the show is interesting just like the Bob and Dave pre-established connection.They were good friends years becore the show and Dave actually slept on Bob's couch which he would do the same as Joey in Bob's Danny's home.

[Donatello19]

Anyone have any favorite episodes? My all time favorite was the one where they all go to Disney World. My favorite part was how DJ thought the guy dressed as Aladdin was Steve, because in real life, "Steve" (can't remember the actor's name) was the voice actor of Aladdin.

[BubblyShell22]

Always loved this show and would often catch it on ABC Family when they aired it during the day. Always loved Michelle, but maybe that's because she shares my name and I also loved Joey, too. Yep, my fave episode was the Disney World one and the one where Papouli died. Sad but still a sweet episode. Oh, and the one where Tommy Page sings at Steph's birthday party and the one where Joey takes Steph to the Honey Bees mother/daughter slumber party, but that's because there's a Ninja Turtles sleeping bag and Joey's wearing Ninja Turtles pajamas.

So, yeah, a big fan of the show.

His name is Scott Weinger. He left the series to attend Harard and major in English. He has written and directed a couple of shows in comedy and drama genres but aside from a few appearances as a cop on What I Like About You has remained behind the camera.

Favorite episodes? Its hard to say but I do enjoy the two part Disney Adventure. Everything about is great except the continuity error of Jesse and Becky celebrating thir wedding annversary in May when they married on Valentines Day.

I much prefer Disney World over Disneyland but I do find it surpring that the whole crew went to Orlando when Aniheim is just up the road.

Don't forget his TMNT slippers :P

Also, just everyone knows, I put up a favorite character poll.

[RaphAndDonnie]

Hm, favorite episode...

I really like the one where they pulled out the aesop about under age drinking after Jessie thought that DJ was doing it. I don't know why, it was just the one I thought of first that I really liked. It was a nice bonding episode between the two.

[Leofan26]

Nick at Night airs this show a lot, kind of hard not to know of it at least :lol:

Favorite character? Err um, females would probably be Becky or D.J

Male I'd say Jessie or Steve....

I always was conflicted about Joey, I liked him better when he had those mature moments of his. He was always my least favorite though :ohwell:

[MikeandRaph87]

Here is Lori touching on John's statment from back in July.

[Guitar_Raph]

Favorite Ful House episodes...

1). Jesse & Becky's Wedding

2). Disney World; when they went to see Aladdin, Scot Weigner dressed up in the Aladdin costume, making him the real Aladdin from the movie & tv series (syndicated/CBS).

3). We Got The Beat; Stephanie played guitar

4). Dr. Dare Rides Again; Nick recently skips (not banned) that episode because of Scott Baio being a hoodlum, since he does See Dad Run. If that episode is banned, it was the last of Scott Baio playing guitar & singing.

I don't see how that makes it skip worthy at all! I mean the network airs adult stuff like Friends yet Baio being a bad boy is wrong?

Am I the only one who wants to see the Danny/Vickie marriage patched up in a reunion? It reminds me of Barney and Thelma Lou after Don Knotts left the show how that was handled. It would be nice to see them get together eventually.

[Guitar_Raph]

They probably don't want Baio as a motorcycle punk, since he plays a positive father figure role on See Dad Run.

At least Scott Baio's music career lives in my head.

[BubblyShell22]

I agree about the Danny/Vickie marriage thing. She said yes but it was never mentioned after that with no planning or anything.

There was the episode "High Anxiety" whixh shows Vickie practing fixing food for the family plus Steve and Kimmy from earlier in the season however that was it. They put off planning the wedding until that Christmas week Danny felt obligated to break it off. In reality it was Jeff Franklin and prdoucers deciding to do a 360 on the developed status quo. They decided that it would give the girls a mother and everything would be full cirlce taking away from the widower father angle. Then why do it in the first place? It just teases with fans two decades later. I honestly think it would not have taken away from the premise of the show or atleast could have been done like with Scott Weinger/Steve coming back at the end of the series. It would have been the perfect finale. Like Jesse and Becky they just worked. That was one of two things that will always annoy about the show. The other? Jesse's graduation from high school being referenced in early season 4 twice but by mid season 6 he was a drop out. That is a discussion for another time however.

Looks like Steve and DJ ended up together as they're gonna be on "The Neighbors" as the new uh neighbors! Scott Weigner's gotten a little grey around the temples but otherwise looks the same:

I don't know anything about that show, but it's really cool that they're showing them together!

[BubblyShell22]

Candace is actually married in real life, but are they going to be playing their characters from Full House or what?

[MikeandRaph87]

I just watched "A Little Romance" on Nick-at-Nite and I wondered if Catwoman was inspiration for this outfit or if it is just conicidence.

What do you all think of Bob Saget's book Dirty Daddy memoir? Just ten weeks ago Candace Cameron Bure came out with her own tell all. odd having two this clsoe together in being published.
